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. :/

Holy cow! Seriously, half of those names or more are also on my favorites list as well. So we pretty much have the same taste. :D

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

[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.
