anything too fantastically cruel or unusual to name a child, do you think?

Best 4?

I think the name Julian Isadore is kind of cruel, because it sounds a tad feminine to me. But's that my opinion though. The rest of the names are cool though.

[bigdorkymoron.livejournal.com]

yeah.
i always get that Aeary is too feminine....that's what i worry, that all the boy names i like are going to result in teasings--that is, unless they develop a sort of boy-named-sue syndrome...oh, i don't know.

i think my two favorite girl names are the same as yours here, but i honestly can't narrow down the boys at all. it's just about pathetic.

iii liiike:

Aeary Dorien
and
Alydia Genevieve


Aeary and Alyidia would be good twin names too :P

[bigdorkymoron.livejournal.com]

my original choices. perhaps i should've just stuck with what i had in the beginning?

[wolf-shadow.livejournal.com]

Aeary is nice but... I can see kids turning it into 'Faery' really easily. :/

[morphinae.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't recommend Aery, it sounds kinda pompous and could be turned into something to tease with very easily. Same with Isodore. Also not big on Cairo, but I like ophelia for a middle name. If I had to pick a favorites for each, I'd say, Julian, Elijah, Cole, Mikhail for boys, and Ophelia, Myra, Colette, Claudia for girls. (not in that order)

[bigdorkymoron.livejournal.com]

most of them sound sort of pompous, i think, but i figure they're also sort of...distinguished. Like it's fairly unlikely that they'll run into schoolmates with the same name very often.

There's always a worry about teasing, but honestly, whether their name is alice or aeary, they're going to be teased over something, and i'd rather be told my name is stupid than that my face is ugly. I also try to keep in mind that just because you're teased over something as a child doesn't ruin your life or even have much effect on it at all. Thinking back, *i* was teased for having a less-than-common name...and i think this is the first time i've even thought of it since i was in the 3rd grade. At this point, i'm glad i was given a name that's just a wee bit different.

May not count for anything, but that's the best defense i can cook up for naming kids weird things.

Best 2--Elijah Cole and Myra Colette! :)

[etoile33.livejournal.com]

Myra Colette is definitely the best for a girl! It's a beautiful name and not too pompous at all. I wouldn't recommend Aeary for a boy though; it is quite on the feminine side. Perhaps Oliver Mikhail?

[x-riveroflife-x.livejournal.com]

i love the name Cairo, but for a boy

[bigdorkymoron.livejournal.com]

now that you mention it, i kinda like it too.

good idea.

[barefootbeatrix.livejournal.com]

i think that isadore would be cute for a girl. i also like cole, ophelia and colette.

[cathkitten.livejournal.com]

I don't especially like any of the boys names. I like Oliver, and Mikhail, but not together. They don't "flow."

Myra Colette
Claudia Sebastienne

Both of those are BEAUTIFUL.

[cathkitten.livejournal.com]

Ophelia is a beautiful name but it comes with a very negative connotation, since Ophelia in Hamlet went crazy and killed herself.

[bigdorkymoron.livejournal.com]

Ironically enough, that's precisely where i get it from.

Hamlet is my favorite. Given, you're right and ophelia was insane, but i don't necessarily equate the name opelia with insanity, either.

(that and, considering where i'm living at the time, it's not like the majority of the people in the nearby surroundings have read Hamlet....or anything else, for that matter.)
