I met my first Isabelle today. It's never been a name that I cared about either way, but when I heard it on an actual person, I thought, "wow, it's entirely way too princess-y, over-the-top, and only works in theory."

So, whether that's your opinion or not, I was wondering: do any of you have names that you liked until you heard it on an actual person, and then just thought, "wow, that does not work"?

I always loved the name Anastasia... It's long, elegant, and would be a nice spin on my mother's name, Ann.

My freshman year of college, my roommate had a friend named Anastasia. She was awful: spoiled, whiny, clingy, demanding. Everything I would never want my daughter to be.
