My thoughts:
-Alma always makes me think of the city in MI, then I think of my mom's friend w/ that name.
-Christel looks cool to me, until I go to pronounce it and I'm like, "Oh, just another spelling of Chrystal".
-Kellye makes me think of the nurse from M*A*S*H.
-Leigh Ann I kind of like.
-Riyko reminds me of Hannah Montana.
-I think I like Shawna better than Shauna.
-I once knew someone named Sumer. (I also knew someone named Shanon).

They had a thing in one of my local papers recently about unique names. I currently can't find it, but if I do, I'll post it here. In the mean time: There's a list of unique names here if that's your taste

Alma is our chosen name for a girl! :) I didn't know it's a city in MI, which is funny because I've been coming across a lot of MI references lately!

Alma also means soul in spanish and I find it a cute name overall.. I think you once posted about you choosing it because it was the word for Apple in another language or something? I could totally be mistaken though but still, cute name.

yes yes yes :D that's our story lol
it's apple in hungarian, my SO got it from the movie Into the wild (the concept of apple, I mean, then I came up with a doable name for it)
I've posted a couple of times about it, I'm glad no one is complaining yet of me repeating the story over and over haha

=D I remember that! I also remember a lot of crazy things that make me seem like total stalker (photographic memory sort of thing) but I am like that with everything so I am glad you didn't find it weird or anything >.>

Hehe. I think it's a cute name :).

The one that's making me WTF is Muzzy.

If I remember correctly, Muzzy was a character in Thoroughly Modern Millie. I always thought her name was a bit eccentric.

That list of unique names bugs me. Random words are not unique names. Who would name their child Abacus, Affinity, Air, Alchemy, Amiable, Analogy, Anhor, Anemone, Answer, Antiquity, Armor...?

I agree. Amiable makes me think that someone is trying to influence their child's personality. Or, want to use Ami as a nickname for something.
