I love Faelin and I've never heard it before. : )

[halloo-schlag.livejournal.com]

thanks :)

[laminy.livejournal.com]

I love Bijou, not so much Bijoux, but it still sounds amazing. I like Leon too.

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

Zoë Berlin - So its z-oh? I like it, but see Berlin as the last name.
Merrily Belle - Nope
Audri Amour - Love Audrey, hat Audri, looks like Audi. Don't like alliteration or Amour as a name.
Faelin Bijoux - Love the sound of Faelin, but doesn't quite go right somehow somewhere. Like Bijoux, but shouldn't it just be Bijou? I'd have to look up the French grammar on that one.

Ryder Marcel - Love Marcel, think Ryder is trendy.
Emery Leon - Like Emery, but Remy better. Leon is great.
Jaime Merlion - Jaime's too fem for me. Merlion, no.
Odell Anthony - Odell, sounds like a bad girl name. Anthony is ok. Like Victor, and they remind me of each other =]

[halloo-schlag.livejournal.com]

Hmm.. pretty sure that the correct French spelling is with the 'x'. And Remy is a great name.

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

Well, all are correct depending on what your saying. Bijou is kiss, so it could be Bijous, kisses, or bijoux is, I can't remember =] And it's different who you're kissing too. So... You want whatever just the word is straight up, in no form, I would think.

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

Oh wait. Bisou is kisses. Hmmm. Never mind.

[aquilinum.livejournal.com]

The diacritic on the e of Zoë means that the noun is not silent. Many English speakers leave off "the dots" — but yeah, not silent.

[mizsfrankie.livejournal.com]

Really like Emery Leon. Although I'm not sure if I'd use Emery as a human name, its my cat's name. lol. =D

[halloo-schlag.livejournal.com]

haha :)

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

Faelin is like, failing....

do not like.

[hwar.livejournal.com]

Faelin? Like "she's failin' gym class?" ;-)

I like Zoë, Audrey (spelled this way), and Merrily is growing on me. I can tell you like whimsical middle names! That's fun. My middle name is so boring and I've always felt it's a waste.

[halloo-schlag.livejournal.com]

Haha, no, it's supposed to be Fay-lin :)
And I feel the same way about middle names. Although I'm named after someone I truly admire, being Natalie ANNE is pretty characterless.

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

I think Natlie Anne is a pretty name, and at least where I am, you don't hear Natalie that much so it isn't that plain.

[halloo-schlag.livejournal.com]

thanks :)

[halloo-schlag.livejournal.com]

hmm... I could see how someone would think that. I just like the way they sound :)

[moldycelery.livejournal.com]

Merrily, Audri, Faeli, Ryder, Emery and Odell are tacky as shit.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Zoe Berlin is really sassy :)
and I like Emery Leon too.
The others are a little out there for my taste, except for Belle, Ryder Anthony

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

like - Zoe Berlin, Emery Leon, Odell Anthony

Detailed comments below:

Zoe Berlin - It seems the accent changes it to Zoh. I believe if it is over the O it is Zoh-ee. I like the "ee" pronounciation. It sounds really good with Berlin.
Merrily Belle - I don't really like either name, although there are certainly worse ones out there. However, the combination sounds overly cutesy or something.
Audri Amour - This sounds like a name out of a romance novel to me. Also, I agree with the person who said Audri looks like Audi. Audrey would be so much classier. Amour really isn't my style at all.
Faelin Bijoux - I've never seen Faelin before. The combo seems a bit trashy to me. Is it Fail-in or Fay-lin? I'm guessing the latter. I could also see boys saying "feelin'." Feeling Bijoux is probably not what a daughter would like to hear in high school. Also, I think bijoux is the plural. I don't know if that matters to you.

Ryder Marcel - Ryder seems trendy and like you're trying too hard to be edgey. It's really not mu style. Marcel isn't my thing either but there's nothing wrong with it, especially in the middle name slot.
Emery Leon - Neither of these are names I, personally, like on their own, but there's nothing wrong with them and they make a GREAT combo.
Jaime Merlion - Jaime = Hi-me, Jamie = Jay-me to me. I'm not sure which you're going for. I also don't know if Merlion is Mare-lee-own, Mare-lee-on, Mer-lee-own, Mer-lee-on or something else entirely. This makes it very difficult to judge.
Odell Anthony - Odell is actually a family name for me so it gets points for that and I kind of like the nn Del(l). I think Odell Anthony has a pretty cool flow.

[halloo-schlag.livejournal.com]

Answer to your first question: I was pronouncing it Fay-lin :)
And for the second: Mare-lee-on. It's actually French. I'd always pronounce it with a French accent, but I could see people getting confused which might get annoying.

Thank you for the feedback :)

[aquilinum.livejournal.com]

You are mistaken about the diacritic on the E of Zoë. Those dots mean that the E is pronounced, not silent.




... sorry, pet peeve.

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

Not a problem. I was about to post a correction about that today. I couldn't remember where the accents usually go in the name and someone else commented and I, naively (stupidly?) assumed that some random person on the internet must be correct. I should have looked it up or talked to my dad before I commented. I'm really rather embarrassed.

[soundofbusiness.livejournal.com]

Berlin's a guilty pleasure of mine. I like Audrey (that spelling), but I'm not too keen on the rest.

[schexyschteve.livejournal.com]

I like Audrey (spelled this way), but everything else sounds like you're trying too hard.

[starskye.livejournal.com]

Most of these are not my style, really. I do like Audrey (spelled this way) and I like Belle (or Bella) but not paired with Merrily. I think it sounds too rhymey. Zoe is fine but I think the dots go somewhere else. Or I could just be an idiot. Berlin does have potential to be a neat middle name.

Emery Leon is okay. The names sound good together.
Odell Anthony is pretty good, too.

[ivegotbaggage.livejournal.com]

I like Audri, but prefer the spelling Audrey, and Emery. Faelin reminds me of an Irish name, Faolan (*insert appropriate accent marks here*), which is pronounced like FWAIL-awn. I like it, but can't ever quite say it correctly. I don't know how you're pronouncing Faelin, though. Just making the connection. :-)

[halloo-schlag.livejournal.com]

That is a cool connection. The name sounds Irish to me, too.

[solitudete.livejournal.com]

Bijou is a French pet name.. it's kind of like naming your kid Rover or Fido.

I like Zoe and Emery.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

i like belle and emery leon.

[la-jolie-vie.livejournal.com]

These all sound like they come out of those "What is your ___________ name?" generators. The first thing I thought of when I saw them was the "What is your porn name?" generator.

[skudge.livejournal.com]

Ryder Marcel and Emery Leon are both brilliant, in my opinion. :)
