An old list of names I made.

[sweetest-asylum.livejournal.com]

This is an old list of names I made. They are baby/pet names. It's weird. I like the name Gretchen, but I didn't want to name a pet that because I wanted to save it in case I ever had kids. I adopted a rottweiler because her owner had a terminal illness. She was already named Gretchen.
WDYT?

Gretchen
Sabine
Libby
Clara
Holliday (i'm a huge doc hollicay fan! lol)
Onocta (the song was in the movie tombstone)
Aquila
Claudia
Deilia

I like Sabine a lot. It's very elegant. Clara is a classic too.

I like Gretchen, Sabine, Clara, Claudia, Libby as a nn for Elizabeth.

Don't like: Onocta, Aquila (rhymes with tequila), Deilia (I do like Delia though, not sure why the weird spelling?)

Not sure: Holliday. I like it better as a Billie Holliday reference. :)

Aquila is pronounced AH-kwee-la, and it's italian for "eagle". But not a person's name in italian

AH, I see. I thought it was pronounced like the Akeelah in Akeelah and the Bee. I expect a child in the US would get a lot of mispronunciations with the accent on the second syllable instead of the first.

I got it from Aquila the constellation. Which would be Latin. Which I guess is technically Italian, but it WAS originally Latin/Greek.
Which also reminds me of so many other names I had picked out when i studied astronomy.

Aquila to this day is an italian word, derived of course from Latin :)
The pronunciation anyway is the same.
