hummm not sure...but different!

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

You have to be the only person who has actually liked Ebony (other than me of course) in this community :D I have liked it since I was tiny.

You also have to be the only person other than me who has prefered Emelia to Amelia, the "e" is just so much nicer for some reason, IMO.

I pronounce Esme as Es-me, but have also heard it es-may

Oh and I am also in the UK - yay!

[laananas.livejournal.com]

I won't go through each name. I'll only mention the ones I really love and the ones I really dislike :D

Love:
Amelia, India, Lily, Mia (I also love Maya), Nina (a name that ages well), Natasha (mainly because I love the NN Tasha), Olivia, Willow (it's on my list :D), Elliot (but I prefer it for a girl), Jesse (love it!), Kai.

Dislike:
Asha (Is it pronounced Ash-uh?), Aurora (too harsh. Not feminine sounding), Skye (I didn't like it before it got popular. I really don't like it now that it is), Wren, Hadrian (truly dislike this one. It looks like a misspelled Adrian), Harry.

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

girls:
Ivy - don't like the plant, don't like the name
Skye - ok, but nms
Eden - lovelovelove
Elsa - ok, but nms

Asha - Ah-sha, or A like Apple? I like it as a nn for Ashley

boys:
Ezra - lovelovelove
Jesse - ok; I've known lots of jerks with this name. Love his Bible story though.
Kai - love it, but it's also too trendy. The coolest camp counselor in 6th grade camp had that name. I'll remember it for always.
Max - love it for a kid, not for a man
Seth - like it
Elliot - as a middle name I really like it.

Ebony - not feminine enough for me

Elsa
Emelia - don't like it
Esme - a beautiful Turkish name
Eden - lovelovelove
Fern - no way. Again, don't like the plant, don't like the name

Ivy/Ivie
Jasmine - Love it

Mia - I know a horrible person name Mia (pronounced mee-uh)
May/Mae - nope
Nina - cute, but nope
Norah - love it, prefer Nora
Natasha - meh
Olivia - love it
Phoebe - nope. I've watched too much Friends for this name.
Ruby - no way
Robin/Robyn - One of my best guy friends is a Robin, so it's masculine to me
Skye
Violet - absolutely adore this name. I want to use it, but my hubby hates it.
Willow - again with the plant thing...
Wren - I like it. I thought it was cute in the comic and I think it's cute now.

Nathan - love it
Quinten - nope
Rueben - no way
Rory - I have a baby cousin with this name. Child must be strawberry blond or red-headed
Seth
Theo - nms
Zachary

[kylees.livejournal.com]

I love Kai but my boyfriend is from New Zealand & half maori & kai means food so I really cant do that to my child. I also really love Zachary but a girl I used to be best friends with named her child Zachary so again I cant use that.

[solyma.livejournal.com]

i really like the name keziah... i've actually always known it to be pronounced kez-eye-uh, in the same way josiah, jeremiah, etc are pronounced.

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

In Turkish Esme is Ez-meh with a soft and quick z. It is short for Esmerai. In Turkish there is also Ýsmet. MY grandparents also have a Russian friend with a little girl named Esme. It's so interesting how names pan cultures.

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

girls:
Ivy - so pretty
Skye - middle name?
Eden - pretty
Elsa - meh.
Keziah - It's alright...
Asha - meh.

boys:
Ezra - nice.
Jesse - my of my room-mates name :)! Very classy.
Kai - my boyfriends name <3!! isn't it gorgeous?
Max - I like it.
Seth - It's ok.
Elliot - not my style
Zachary - one of my favorites.

You have really nice names :)!

[o-honeybee-o.livejournal.com]

yay for another UK-er!
Yeah i think the Emilia spelling looks softer than the A spelling.
There's something about Ebony that i find really pretty =)

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

I must say, great choice on your son's name... my boyfriend of 4 years is "Kai Mitchell". <3

[dancing-crazy.livejournal.com]

I like your longer lists much better, in truth: Amelia, Aurora, Eliza, Kate, Lydia, Mia, Norah, Nathasha, Olivia, Ruby, Robin, Violet and Wren are ALL favourite names of mine for girls (Kate is what I'm planning to use for my first) and I absolutely love those, but nothing on your "main" list is exactly my style. Eden is nice, although I'm used to it pronounced Eh-den (in Hebrew). For boys, I love Max, Seth and Elliot, and again, on your longer list some of my absolute favourites: Finnley, Harry, Miles, Nathan and Theo. I generally think you have a great style. I love seeing my very favourite names on people's lists; it doesn't happen very often!

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

I'm from the UK, so maybe that's why there are different pronounciations..?

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

Rory - I have a baby cousin with this name. Child must be strawberry blond or red-headed

The only Rory I have ever known was red-headed!

Keziah - nms; sounds very African-Amer. to me, and I'm whiter than a cloud

The only Keziahs I have ever know have been caucasian, maybe it's more common in the UK.

Asha - simply Ash-A, quite similar to Asher, but with a softer ending.

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

Thanks :D

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

Thats really cool :D

[twoheadedboi.livejournal.com]

One of my best friends is 6 months pregnant with a girl and is naming her Ebony Louise. So I know she likes Ebony! And I like it too :]

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

:D That's so pretty!
