Okay so I'm 4 months pregnant (don't know the gender yet) and cannot decide on a single name. I put together a quick name list, so if you guys could vote on which ones you like and don't like, that would be awesome. :) Just preparing you though, these names are all pretty random!

Thanks!

You have some very nice names on there! My personal favorites are Colette Dolan, Coraline Dolan and Ezra Dolan, but Jasper, Evangeline and Silas sound really good with your last (?) name as well. I think names ending in -an, such as Kegan or Kieran don't flow at all paired with Dolan, because of the repetitive -an sound.

normally I like Micah, but with your ln, it sounds almost like "my condolen...ces"

Cambria, Evangeline, and Coraline are my favorites.

Is Arien pronounced like Aryan? I've never heard it before, but even if it's not, I might not be the only person to think so, and Aryan isn't the best thing to have a name be associated with.

I think that the an/en names don't flow very well with your last name, because there's too much repetition. I think the names that sound the best are Jasper, Silas, Ezra and Evangeline.

Riordan
Jasper
Silas
Micah

Evangeline
Corinne

How will you pronouce Rio?

[mudinherblood.livejournal.com]

Ree-oh. :)

[mudinherblood.livejournal.com]

Oh man it does, I've never noticed that. XD

[ivegotbaggage.livejournal.com]

Just wondering, because Riordaan is prn REERdan. I like, regardless! Riordan is on my top 10 list.

I pronounce the e like... so that it stands out, like Arie-ehn. The last syllable sounds like the letter N. I was worried that people would think that though. I used to have it spelled Arienne but I thought it was too much.

Yeah, Irish names are weird like that. :P I really liked the nickname Rio though so I was trying to find something I liked that I could use it with.

[ivegotbaggage.livejournal.com]

I love Irish names. :-)

My favorites (with your last name):

Ezra Dolan
Cambria Dolan

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

Most of them aren't my style, especially the girls (to be completely honest, some of the girls names sound like the sort of thing a teenaged anime fan would come up with). Also, Cambria just reminds me of the Cambrian explosion. I do like Kieran (though I prefer Ciaran), Micah, Ezra, Colette, and Evangeline.

I vote for Tegan or Jasper.

Are you pronouncing Tegan like Tee-gan or like Tay-gan? The former is the (from my understanding) correct pronunciation (and the one that sounds better), but the nicknames make me think you're saying it as Tay-gan.

I like Ezra, Colette, Evangeline, and Kailani. Arien is way too close to Aryan for my liking.

How is Koen pronounced? I'm stuck on pronouncing it as Köln, although I know that's not right.

[pegasus2o5.livejournal.com]

I voted against most of your girl choices because they didn't sound like names, just pretty syllables thrown together. I don't go for that at all. But I do like Corinne and Coraline.

You had some really good boy choices. I really like Caspian, Riordan, and Jasper. Micah is okay as well, though I voted against it because it can also be a girl's name and I'm not really into unisex names. :)

[stillbefree.livejournal.com]

I was thinking the same thing about names that a teenaged anime fan would come up with!

[stillbefree.livejournal.com]

I only like Jasper, Silas, Micah and Coraline. The others didn't look as pretty and too hard on the eyes. at least for me!

[mudinherblood.livejournal.com]

I think that's the way I'm pronouncing it, like Kowen?

[mudinherblood.livejournal.com]

I'm pronouncing it Tay-gan, like Megan but with a T. I know a bunch of people that have pets named Tee-gan so I don't think I could use that pronunciation.

[mudinherblood.livejournal.com]

Lol, well I'm not a teenaged anime fan so that sucks.

[soundofbusiness.livejournal.com]

Köln is kind of hard to break down in English (it's the name of a city in Germany, although I cannot for the life of me remember what its English name is). I guess the closest would be ker-ln, but you kind of have to swallow the L, if that makes sense.

[mudinherblood.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I think I see what you're saying. :P

[lind-saay.livejournal.com]

I understand, but (1) everyone is going to pronounce it Tee-gan, so she's probably going to spend her entire life correcting everyone and (2) Megan would be more like Teg-an, wouldn't it?

Tay-gen just doesn't make any sense to me, I guess.

[solitudete.livejournal.com]

I love Caspian.
