My Favorite Names
Sep. 5th, 2008 07:07 pmHi, this is my first post. I found baby_names by accident, and I want your opinion on my favorite names. I love this community, by the way.
Girl Names: Boy Names:
Rhiannon Caleb
Carys Aidan
Keely Noah
Lola Joshua
Isabelle Matthew
Melia Tristan
Caroline/Carly
Grace
Aurora
Logan-Is that too unusual for a girl's name?
Gillian
Liliana/Lily
Rose
Autumn
Lorelei
Devyn
So what do you think? I obviously have more favorite girl names (and there's more), but there's just so many pretty names.

Date: 2008-09-05 11:33 pm (UTC)i like rhiannon, carys, lola, isabelle, caroline (not carly), grace, lily (but prefer just lillian), and lorelei.
i don't like keely, i don't think it would age well. aurora is very difficult for me to say, like when i try it turns into aururur or something, and i don't know why lol. i have a very clear voice and i'm well spoken, that name just refuses to come out of my mouth though. same with rory. the only logan i've ever met was a girl, but i still don't like it. gillian sounds very aged to me, i just don't like autumn, and devyn looks like a mess.

Date: 2008-09-05 11:37 pm (UTC)Rhiannon - I like this, wouldn't use it myself but it is cute.
Carys - not my style but it's alright.
Keely - sounds like Kill-it which if you're me, it's fine... but most parents don't like the whole 'kill'refference there.
Lola - Adore
Isabelle - like very much.
Melia - I had a maid named Melida when I was younger, not a good name for me.
Caroline/Carly - I actually like Carly better... Caroline does nothing good for my brain.

Devyn - Love on a girl!
Caleb - I like this, very cute.

Date: 2008-09-06 12:21 pm (UTC)I really don't like Keely - I feel that it's the kind of name that doesn't really add much character to a person and is awkward. Also, why Devyn, why not just Devon?
I don't like Aidan and am confused as to the popularity of Aidan, Jayden, etc.

Date: 2008-09-07 03:19 am (UTC)Keely- It...sounds like a dog name to me, personally
Lola- When I hear this name I think "tramp" or "stripper"
Isabelle- I prefer Isabella, but Isabelle is pretty too
Melia- It's okay....
Caroline/Carly- Both nice names
Grace- I really like this name. I don't know that it's one that I'd use, but I wouldn't rule it out, either
Aurora- Very pretty name. Not one I'd use because I had problems saying my "r"s when I was little, and even to this day names like this feel like torture to me.
Logan- For a boy I like it, for a girl not so much
Gillian- It's okay. Prefer Jillian, though.
Liliana/Lily- I like Lilian, but they're pretty
Rose- I prefer it as a middle name, but it's a nice name
Autumn- Not my style, but definately not a bad name
Lorelei- I really like this name! It just seems delicate and feminine to me.
Devyn- I don't like it, personally.
Caleb- Love it
Aidan- This is the only one of your boys names that I'm not fond of
Noah- One of my favorites!
Joshua- I like it. It might be one I'd consider using, but can't because of family having it.
Matthew- Not too bad. A good, solid name. I like!
Tristan- Not a favorite, and probably not one I'd use, but it's not a bad name.

Date: 2008-09-07 04:33 am (UTC)Carys - There was a very cute AusNTM model named Carys. She's adorable.
Keely - ...will keel over and die. Sounds like death so = bad.
Lola - Adore as a nickname for Dolores or Gwendolyn.
Isabelle - So popular.
Melia - Err... what? Delia is nice. Melia is... not.
Caroline/Carly - I love Caroline but hate Carly. Carol or Lena or Caro is better but not Carly. Maybe Charlie? Caroline is the fem. form of Charles, after all.
Grace - Popular as first and used too often as middle.
Aurora - Kind of mushy when you say it out loud. Very Disney Princess but not that bad. Pair with simple name. Aurora Jane is nice or Gillian Aurora.
Logan - HATE. Please don't do that to a girl when there are feminine names out there. It is tryndee and tacky and you feel cheated as a girl with a masculine name when there are Victorias, Gillians, Roses etc. out there.
Gillian - Love.
Liliana/Lily - Good.
Rose - GORGEOUS FOR A FIRST NAME. Overplayed as a middle, fillery, just don't do it as a middle name. I love Rose.
Autumn - Cute but be realistic, not very serious. Nice as a middle name, best season name by far.
Lorelei - Too mythological-siren for me.
Devyn - Really wtf. Tryndee -yn suffix, surname, boy name on girl... NO.
Caleb - Sounds like a dog name.
Aidan - Good with a legit spelling, but I really dislike it. Way too popular and will be dated, too.
Noah - Very popular.
Joshua - Fine.
Matthew - Fine.
Tristan - na na na na na na na na na na na naa nanaanaaa YU GI OH oh oh.

Rose Caroline

Carys
Isabelle - nice middle name, but way too common for a first name i think
Caroline/Carly - like caroline, not carly
Grace - same with isabelle
Aurora - i like it, but it seems so awkward to say..too many r's. it's still nice though.
