jasmine ines is such a wannabe classically beautiful name, its a miss. i expected more of nigel barker.

rylan jaxson makes me want to vomit.

buster timothy could be worse. it could be far better, but it could be worse.

i'm really not a fan of jasmine at all. his son's name is jack, which i like, but is really common these days, so i wasn't expecting too much from him. but i am surprised by jasmine.

why couldn't he have just gone with ryan jackson? or ryan jack? ugh.

buster reminds me of a dog, although i wouldn't even name a dog buster.

I quite like Jasmine Ines, actually.

Where I live, Jasmine is pronounced Yahs-MEE-neh, I like that much better than the English pronunciation.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

i've heard yahs-MEEN, but never with the "neh" on the end. where are you from?

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

The Netherlands =).

Unlike in English, we pronounce the 'e's at the end of words.

That's the way we pronounce it in Finland, too :>) I quite like Jasmine Ines as well!

For the boys names I like Buster because it reminds me of Buster Bluth but the rest are just mehhh.

I like Jasmine Ines. I do like Timothy, too. I would guess Ines is pronounced similar to Inez.

I like Jasmine, Rylan, and Timothy. I really don't like Jaxson or Buster. Don't have an opinion on Ines.

I like Rylan (biased, significant other, blah blah blah you all know) but Jaxson is really really really terrible. Just spell it Jackson!

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

i've never actually heard rylan before. i thought it was just made up. am i wrong?

[kilobites.livejournal.com]

Well, it's an English name, and it's not derived from Ryan even though it sounds similar. A variant of it is Ryland. I've met quite a few people named Rylan, and it seems like lately it's become a trend for girls (yuck!) but it is still not a super common name. I have met people up to the age of 50 with it though.

Interesting we thought different derivations of the name. I related it to Kilen (Kyle or Kylie + -en), which I also think is too popular.

[kilobites.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I do see how it could be used that way. I know that at least the parents of the people I know named that don't consider it to be an Irish name in any way but the people who are using it now in such a trendy way probably do.

[i12bmore.livejournal.com]

I used to work at a children's amusement place (I won't get more specific than that) which was overrun with Rylans. The idea is to take an Irish name (Riley) and make it even more Irish by sticking the -en at the end.

If I were to name my son Jackson, I'd spell it Jaxon because I hate the name Jack and wouldn't want anyone nicknaming him Jack.

I was brutally attacked about that when I posted my namelist here...

[i12bmore.livejournal.com]

I don't like Rylan, or any other redundantly Irish names.

I like Jaxon (it's a minor reference to Huckleberry Finn) but not Jaxson.

[la-jolie-vie.livejournal.com]

Buster is only fitting as a dog's name. Jaxson would be okay if it was spelled correctly.

[i12bmore.livejournal.com]

Jaxon would be acceptable, as that is actually a last name. Jaxson isn't, though.

[nandy-pandy.livejournal.com]

Buster? Seriously? D:

Ines is okay.

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]

Ick. Jasmine is horrible and Buster(s) is the name of a strip joint in my town. So, no.
