i'm glad you like them, especially some of the ones that don't seem to be that popular among people i talk to, such as galen and greer. i absolutely loveeee greer.

I know a Galen, and he is one of the smartest, kindest, down to earth teens I've ever known. I love the sound of the name. I understand why people may not like it...but ask them if they like Gabriel better. Then point out they both start with the same syllable.

Greer is cute. I imagine a very artsy person when I think of Greer...

i like greer so much. brooke shields has a daughter named grier, but i like the double e spelling a lot better.

people have said to me that galen should be avoided because it starts with "gay". i've always pronounced it more like gale-inn. that might be because of my accent though? i don't know.

[solagirl.livejournal.com]

I pronouce it sort of like that too. Where are you from?

[krysteener.livejournal.com]

Lots of good ones. I like: Eloise, Vivienne, Sebastian, Sage, Rhys, Luca, Fiona.

new york. i think a lot of people pronounce it gay-linn though, rather than gale-inn.

online, i find that so many differences in pronunciation. one member in this community said that donna and connor rhyme when she says them. o_O

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

i only like vivienne when it's pronounced the french way viv-ee-ENN rather than VIV-ee-inn. i feel like everyone would mispronounce it if i were to ever use it.

I like Beckett but at the same time, it reminds me too much of my own nickname, Becky.

I said no to 'Cate,' because I don't like the spelling. I really like 'Kate,' though.

I really don't like Dagney. It sounds so much like the old Norwegian name Dagny. It makes me think of ladies in their 90s.

Sasha is one of my favourite names, but I prefer it on boys.

I like:

Aster
August
Brighton (on a boy, though)
Elinor (love this spelling!)
Fiona
Greer
Jude
Luca
Rhys
Sage (again, only a boy)
Sebastian
Vivienne

So yeah, really good thoughts on your name list :) I love a lot of these names, and quite a few are on my own list.

[krysteener.livejournal.com]

I love viv-ee-ENN! To me, the other pronunciation is spelled Vivian. But yeah unfortunately I think people would mispronounce it.

One of my fave names is Ca-ro-LEE-na, but I feel like most people would say Ca-ro-LYE-na which I hate. Sucks lol.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

yeah. vivian = americanized and vivienne = french IMO.
i knew a girl whose name was carolina (pronounced with the "LEE"). while some people mispronounced it at first, everyone got the hang of it. i feel like no one would ever pronounce vivienne correctly.
