Heh, Bellatrix is such a kick-ass name. I think I kind of automatically had an affinity for the HP character because her name was so awesome. She's become so notorious, though, that I feel the name has gotten bad connotations. :/

I don't like:
Azalea
Beatriz (pronounced beh-ah-TREESE) (Just because it'd get mispronounced a lot.)
Bellatrix (looks like a stripper name to me, sorry)
Carolina (pronounced care-oh-LEE-na) (Once again, will get mispronounced.)
Drusilla
Emmeline (pronounced EM-eh-leen)
Esmé
Fiorella (pronounced fyor-EL-a)
Harlow (Not that bad of a name but getting really trendy, and reminds me of harlot.)
Ingrid
Isla
Lelia (pronounced LAY-lee-ah) (Will get mispronounced)
Leonor (pronounced LAY-oh-nore)(Will get mispronounced)
Leonora (pronounced lay-oh-NOR-ah)(Will get mispronounced)
Lourdes (nickname Lola)
Madonna (This kid would get made fun of, big time.)
Paloma
Penelope
Persephone
Phoebe
Rosella
Susanna (nickname Susie)
Tatiana
Veronica

Aidan (way too trendy)
Cruz
Galen (Kids are mean, I'm sure "gay" jokes would come up.)
Holden
Lachlan (Trendy, and sounds like a the noise a hairball makes to me.)

[ouronlylight.livejournal.com]

No, don't worry, I'm not offended; most of the problems you have with some of the names are problems I have with them, as well. Bellatrix, Harlow, Lourdes, Madonna, and Persephone are guilty pleasures more than anything else, and the über-trendiness of Aidan makes me very sad indeed.

Pronunciation issues are sad, too. I could probably never get away with giving my kids Spanish names unless I married someone Hispanic, but I think that the names sound really lovely nonetheless.

My thoughts are that you have a lot, a lot of really nice names. So many of the ones that I like are actually on my own list too.

[nothingtolose19.livejournal.com]

Well, pretty much all of these names I at least like, or don't mind, so I'll just say my favorites:

Alessandra
Anna
Antonia
Bianca
Carolina (pronounced care-oh-LEE-na) - OMG, this is one of my top five girl's names, and only pronounced the same way you specified. I'm not overly fond of it pronounced like 'line'.
Cassandra (nickname Cassie)
Emily - Really like, but it's too popular for me to use. Plus, my cousin named her little girl Emily.
Emma - Ditto with Emily .. besides the cousin part :P
Evelyn (nickname Evey/Evie)
Francesca
Gabriella
Gabrielle - I like both of these but I think I like this one a little more :)
Georgia
Gwen - Really like this one too, but more for a nn.
Ingrid - Sorta like :)
Katherine (nickname Kate)
Lelia (pronounced LAY-lee-ah)
Lily
Lucy
Maria
Natalia
Penelope
Persephone - definitely a guilty pleasure, but I LOVE the way it sounds :)
Serena
Shannon
Sofia / Sophia
Susanna (nickname Susie)
Violet
Willow

Benjamin - Number one boy's name :D
Gabriel
Henry
James
Lucas (nickname Luke)
Lucien
Matthew
Noah
Owen
Paul
Peter
Robert
Ryan
Samuel

Haha, I could have kept wayyy more of the girl's names, but tried to keep it to faves. Apparantly, I'm way more picky with guy's names :P
