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.

Added after: Wow, didn't know how many I had! Lol.

Cambree - has a rather insubstantial flighty feel that I don't care for. It's not the name I'd pick for a woman of substance, if that makes sense.
Sadie - Love
Sophie - Ok. Prefer Sophia but both are a bit too popular these days imo.
Grace - Completely sick and tired of it.
Emma - Nice, but too overused lately.
Maylea - Ok but nms.
Amaya - Bothers me how it sounds like a question.
Bailey - Never liked this. Very juvenile sounding, meaning it doesn't age well.
Charlie - Fine
Charlotte - Nice
Alexis - Never cared for this, no real reason.
Madison - Yuck
Ireland/Irelyn - I don't like place names with "land" in them on people. And I don't like the misspelled version either.
Sage - Nice
Ruth - Just don't like the sound of it.
Aspen - Nice, but that "ass" syllable would probably keep me from using it. I want to love it.
Lily - Fine
Peyton - Nms but fine
Tegan - Ditto
Chandler - Too pop culture, and I guess I don't really like the sound of it.
Willow - Nms but fine
Zalea - I think I'd prefer Azalea. This makes me think of the jewelry store Zales.

Dakota/Dakoda - Don't like it at all. At all.
Cambree - Ditto
Wakely - Ditto. Makes me think of a funeral.
Ambry - Eh. Sounds rather girlish, like Amber.
Avery - Nice
Colby - Cheese.
Wade - Nms but fine.
Landon - Nice
Campbell - Fat kid on the soup label.
Morgan - Nice
Benjamin - Nms but fine.
Tober - Silly sounding.
Peyton - Nms but fine
Noah - Ditto
