I'd never use it, but....

Do you ever hear really pretty names that you'd never concider using? Like on sci-fi shows or in fairy tales - names that are really pretty words, and work in a fantasy reality, but you'd never use on a kid?

I was watching some show, possibly on the sci-fi channel, and there were two characters called Whisper and Chicane. I like them in the abstract, but they just aren't real names, y'know?


Just wondering if anyone ever heard similar made-up type names they wanted to share?

I know what you mean, but I can't think of any of the names like that that I've heard right now, though.

Those are the names I'd remember and name my pets though. :P

Meryn.

It's an interesting name, pretty, but I'm not sure I could use it!

I know three Meryns!

[aurelia-star.livejournal.com]

Really?! I've never seen it used before! I do, however, like it...

I know a Merryn! I really like the name.

On the show Roswell, there was a character (an alien) named Vilandra. I think it's a pretty name.

Girls - Rapunzel and Trillian, although...who knows? I might use them on a real person. Or atleast a cat.

Boys - Near. More out of love for the character than the actual sound of the name.

Also, Belldandy.

I love Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, which coincidentally has the nicest names out of all the Star Trek series...
I like both Jadzia and Ezri :)
Tora Ziyal was Dukat's daughter, that's kind of a cool name.

Nyneave and Egwnne. I love them to pieces.

Whisper sounds very romantic.

[megumi-nagase.livejournal.com]

I always wanted to know from where the name Nyneave is! Can you tell me please??

[christhiane.livejournal.com]

It's from The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. Same with Egwenne.

I was sad when I read the actual pronounciation of Nyneave. I don't like the Nigh sound in the beginning...

Cinderella! Call her Cindy!


But I'd never actually do it.


















... I don't think.

[kimberpotamus.livejournal.com]

I used to work with a girl called Cinderella

[aquilinum.livejournal.com]

Wow! Did she go by the whole thing?

[kimberpotamus.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and she would get so annoyed if you called her Cindy or tried to shorten it in any way

[girlsteve.livejournal.com]

oddly enough, I knew a girl called Cinderella - insisted on being called Ella though.

I absolutely adore the name Xavari, which.. honestly.. is a completely made up name. :)

It'd be pronounced like Zavari.

Also I LOVE the name Whisper. I would TOTALLY name my daughter that..
