In 1998, I found a really good name website. It had so many names, and explained their meaning, had a wav file for their pronunciation, and then it had all these sort of testimonials from people who had that name and what it was like to live with that name, which I found really interesting. You could write your own testimonial about your own name and submit it. Not only that, but it had a rating thing, and a "People who liked this name also liked...." feature, which was really good. Oh and it also had this list of things people could tease about that name!

I haven't seen it in 10 years, although I have searched for it. I am sure it is long gone :(

It was from this site that I learned that somebody with my own name had heard the taunt "I don't dare to look over there because Claire's too big a scare" lol

That is all.

i know that babynames.com used to have a pronunciation guide, but i'm not sure they do anymore. and i know they had and still do have a "rate this name feature" they also used to have a "possible mean nicknames" section ha

Maybe they got in trouble for the "possible mean nicknames". Yeah I remember babynames having those too... but I really liked how this site had sooo much input from real people with those names.

I know of a website that had those sorts of features, and going on it now I see that it's updated since I last checked, so it might not look the same to you, even if it is the website you were looking for.

www.babynamer.com has/had a lot of those features. Even if it's not the one, hopefully it'll help you out :)
