Compare and Contrast

[lilmizmombassa.livejournal.com]

A friend and I were discussing baby names recently. She emailed me her list of top names, and I sent her mine. Her list is from this past March, so she's unsure which of these she doesn't like anymore, but here they are for your pleasure...or, pain.


Her list:
Caydan Michael
Kahleb Holdyn
Jaycahb Joshuah
Mathew Izach
Izayah Christian
Izayah Jobe


Girls:
Franchesskah Adealyn
Kailen Graice
Amyliah Cccclairre
Aimee/Aimey/Amey Joselynne
Malaurah
Morilla
Dixie



My list:
Anthony Liam
Benjamin Atticus
Noah Garrett
Joshua David
Daniel Isaiah
Matthew Lucas
Jacob Hunter

Girls:
Charlotte Marie
Luciana Diane
Anna Rose
Sophia Rain
River Alexis
Aislin Cree
Ariana Cailin

Tell me she's kidding about Cccclaire.

[ashleyyynoel.livejournal.com]

lolol

[girlsteve.livejournal.com]

she's kidding about most of them, surely?

[lilmizmombassa.livejournal.com]

I emailed her about that just a few minutes ago, she made a snaffoo, it's supposed to read
Clairre

[lilmizmombassa.livejournal.com]

All the others are exactly how she likes them, though....unfortunately.

[sarahmarie.livejournal.com]

OMFG! Is she serious with that list? *insert scared face here*

[tokyo.livejournal.com]

Morilla? Like... Gorilla????

[lilmizmombassa.livejournal.com]

Yuppers. It's the name of a character from Anne of Green Gables, which she likes a lot.

[sdjma.livejournal.com]

Except in AofGG it is Marilla. Which doesn't make me think of gorillas.

Some of her names would be fine, but the spellings make me cringe. I wonder how she chose the spellings.

[wistfuljen.livejournal.com]

Give your friend my condolences for her tragic head injury.

[my-little-voice.livejournal.com]

haha :)

[amspeck-myworld.livejournal.com]

Mixing up a few combos (and putting my preffered spelling), here are my favorites

From hers: Caleb Joshua and Francesca Grace

From yours: Most are good as they are, my top combo with your names would be either David or Daniel Garrett and Sophia Rain or Rose.

[lilmizmombassa.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :-)

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

I think she accidentally held her finger too long on the 'c' with Cccclaire. Because surely that can't be a serious name.

Francesca Adeline would actually be really pretty. That's all I can say about her list.

Of yours I like Anthony Liam, Joshua David & Sophia Rain best. River Alexis is kind of cool as well =).

[lilmizmombassa.livejournal.com]

Thank you.
Yup, she actually did hold down the C too long on Clairre.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Caydan Micheal is the only one I can save out of her list.

Out of yours, I like Anthony Liam, Joshua David, Daniel Isaiah and Matthew Lucas, and for girls Charlotte Marie, Anna Rose and River Alexis.

I'm curious to know what you said to her about her list..

[lilmizmombassa.livejournal.com]

She sent it and put in the sidenote that she thought some of these spellings were icky as well, even to her.

I didn't want to reply and tell her I thought 98% of them were, so I just said nothing. :-)

[aquilinum.livejournal.com]

I dunno. I mean, Ariana's a special kind of evil on its own!

[lilmizmombassa.livejournal.com]

Hahhaha.

[adriatic-song.livejournal.com]

I like all of yours

Hers would be nice if she had the spelling intelligence of, I dunno, a chipmunk?

[lilmizmombassa.livejournal.com]

Lololol.

[jordle.livejournal.com]

So you're friends with a 12 year old then...

[lilmizmombassa.livejournal.com]

LOL


But she's 21. :-)

[lilmizmombassa.livejournal.com]

I agree. Amy's a pretty name that I'd never mess with.....but thanks for the compliment!

[lind-saay.livejournal.com]

Michael
Christian
Aimee
Anthony Liam
Benjamin Atticus
Noah
David
Isaiah
Matthew Lucas
Jacob
Luciana
Anna Rose
Sophia

[lilmizmombassa.livejournal.com]

She's not expecting, but she is engaged. They want to adopt, though, so it'll be a few years before a baby comes into her life. I'll try to talk some sense into her before then.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

hopefully her adopted child already comes with a name.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

Thoughts?

seriously?

[lilmizmombassa.livejournal.com]

Seriously.

[my-little-voice.livejournal.com]

Is she hoping that her child has a stutter with Cccclaire?

[lilmizmombassa.livejournal.com]

Nopers, that one I can actually justify. I emailed to ask, and she said she'd made a mistake: it's supposed to read Clairre.

[ex-londonso.livejournal.com]

Her names are hideous.

[brittmarie.livejournal.com]

Her names are terrible. Please do not let her name your children. :[

[lilmizmombassa.livejournal.com]

I never will. :-)

[azelmaroark.livejournal.com]

I call "poster having a bit of fun with us." There's no way Cccclaire could be serious.

Could it?

[lilmizmombassa.livejournal.com]

Cccclairre is supposed to read Clairre

She replied to my inquiry on that one.

But everything else is super real, as unfortunate as that may seem.

[kellyjoy.livejournal.com]

Is Aislin pronounced the same as Ashlynn?

[lilmizmombassa.livejournal.com]

Nope. It's pronounced Ashling. Celtic for dream/vision.

[kellyjoy.livejournal.com]

Ahh, OK. Thanks!

[redriotroses.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear to your friend.

I adore your list.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

While your names are not my taste, they're not actually like, bad. Hers are awful. A lot of it just the spellings though. Most of the awful is just spellings actually, haha.

[snailrevolution.livejournal.com]

Oh my, really? D: Some of her names, spelled properly, would be ok even though they're not my taste (Francesca, Amelia, Matthew, Isaiah). I like most of yours, and adore Ariana and Jacob.

Joshua David was one of my mom's picks, had I been a boy. :D

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

oh my god oh my god oh my god. i took one look at 'Franchesskah' and nearly died..

[juniorfan29.livejournal.com]

I love every one of your names as is, except Aislin (I dislike Celtic names, as I'm not fond of anything that is pronounced nothing like it is spelled. I have an extreme hate/hate relationship with Sioban for the same reason.) Also not a big fan of River as a name.


Your friend, who is either 14 or has some kind of psychological disability that puts her at the mentality level of a 14-year-old, would have very nice name choices as well. If she knew how to spell the names she had chosen.
