A girl who was just on the radio:

Blythe

What do you all think?

Edit - I'm going to add that apart from the obvious association with those massive-eyed dolls...I actually quite like it.
Anyhow it's not THAT bad an association, there have been worse!

http://www.thisisblythe.com/ - These are the dolls I was referring to.

Too . . . something . . . for my tastes, but I do kind of like it.

[lovebird.livejournal.com]

I just think of those creepy dolls.

[absofrickinlute.livejournal.com]

Hey hey! Those EXCELLENT dolls I think you mean.

[absofrickinlute.livejournal.com]

It's a nice name for a little girl and also a woman I think - but I love the dolls and know a woman called Blythe so I could be bias =)

[lovebird.livejournal.com]

Lol I don't discriminate against them in particular I get creeped out by all dolls pretty much.

[absofrickinlute.livejournal.com]

I find any form of doll discrimination problematic! You need to buy a Blythe. Let it convert you *wiggles fingers* let it sit by you....as you sleep =)

makes me think of 'little house on the prairie' types.

I love it, it's one of the top names on my girls' list.

I have no idea what those dolls are, but I think of the Anne of Green Gables series because that's Gilbert's last name. Anyway, I love the name.

Same here, never heard of the dolls, immediately think of Gilbert. I was thinking about this last night, actually. Remember in Anne's House of Dreams, when they have their first baby and it dies a few hours after it's born? Joyce, nicknamed Joy, so...Joy Blythe? And that on top of the almost comically overdone irony of their dead newborn being named Joy Blythe...L.M. Montgomery is a favorite of mine, but damn.

blech.

i dont know of the dolls. but i think the name is still horrible. sorry.

It's my mother's maiden name, so I like it for that. If I used it, it would probably be as a middle name.

I don't know what the dolls are. I think of Gwenyth Paltrow because of it being her mom's name, and Apple's mn. And I think of Gilbert Blythe from Anne of Green Gables.

I actually love it... and I've never heard of the dolls, and I could never get into Anne of Green Gables, so it doesn't really have any connotations for me.

I'm a huge Anne of Green Gables fan and a lot of combinations my husband and I like have at least one name from the books (which is not hard because they are mostly classic names). One of our top contenders is Persis Blythe.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

I like it as well.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

It sounds kind of old, but I guess if that's what you wanted. I know nothing about these dolls.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

I love it.

[pixietangerine.livejournal.com]

me too.
