The only one that truly bothers me is Margot, because of the way it's spelled. It reminds me of "gut rot".

Love Eli, but I'm not a fan of the rtest.
Uzi is just stupid, IMO.

I love Margot (even that spelling, though I prefer without), Eli, Dusty, and Chas. Raleigh's interesting, though it sounds more girly to me, and I can't imagine anyone but Bill Murray's character pulling off that name.

Prefer Margot without the t, that is.

i'm not a fan of margot, but i feel like the name suits her character so well.
the only one i really like is eli. i think henry is a fine middle name, but i couldn't use it myself.

Margot is on my list of favorites. :)

I really don't like Pagoda, even though I usually like nouns-as-names.

Surprisingly enough, I like Royal. And I actually have an uncle named Uzi. He's great. :o)

Royal is my little brother's middle name and Chaz is my older brother's name.

I like Eli and Etheline.

I've always liked the name Ari. I also like Eli and Henry.

Is that movie good? I like the Wilson brothers so I've always wanted to watch it but never got around to it.

(I know that wasn't directed at me, but!) It's a very fun, quirky movie, like all of Wes Anderson's (although I wasn't as keen on The Darjeeling Limited). The main problem with it is that it moves very slowly. There's an ensemble cast and you're bound to just not give a damn about at least one or two of the characters, and since each and every character has their moment, if it's one of the characters you don't like, it's easy to stop caring. But it's beautiful to look at, it has a wonderfully toned down sense of humor, and the soundtrack, which is quite a collection in itself, offsets the movie perfectly. I'm a big Wes Anderson fan, so I may be biased, but, yeah, I'd say it's worth checking out (although The Life Aquatic is better).

I liked The Royal Tenenbaum and had forgotten about The Life Aquatic. So thanks the reminder and recommendation. I just put it on hold at my library.

I really liked The Darjeeling Limited actually, so I would probably like this movie?

Love them all except Ari and Uzi, but I still don't hate those. Also, that is the ONLY way to spell Margot correctly in my eyes. I hate it any other way.

Royal is interesting but I couldn't ever use it. Etheline I kninda like. Hate Chas, sounds like a guy you should never date...in fact Glamour mag even said so. Henry is my top top top pick. Ari is quite nice. The rest I not care for, esp Pagoda. Dusty is a cute nn.
