Favorites

[laananas.livejournal.com]

These names are some favorites of mine. I'm not pregnant, nor am I planning on getting pregnant soon, but I like to plan ahead.

What kinds of people do you think of when you hear these names? What do you think of the names themselves? Which of the names go best with the other names for First/Middle combinations?


There is a star next to the names that are favorites.

Cambree - I'm undecided. I've never heard it before, but it's kind of cute.
Sadie - Cute! I don't see it aging well, though.

Maylea - Nah.

Gosh, I sound really negative considering when I first read your list I thought a lot of them were quite cute!

The way I pronounce Zalea is Zae-leah. Somebody also asked about Maylea, which is Mah-leah.
