"What would you call my name taste" a game

Everybody post a few favorites in the comments, and then comment on other peoples' favorites by saying how you would describe the user's name taste! Also add suggestions of names they may like, if you want.

British. I don't think that's an actual style, but a lot of those names are one I associate with British people.

Quirky-trendy.
They're all names that COULD be popular because they fit a contemporary style, but they're still off-beat enough to be unique in a nice way.

Your taste seems very "literary hero/heroine" to me, like these could all be characters in a novel.

Eclectic. Some of the names, especially the boy names, remind me of the south. Some are old, but classic. Some seem more new and fresh. I like them!

Southern sophisticated. (Especially Silas, Willa, and Hazel)
Which is funny because if I recall correctly you're not one of our southerners.

Light and happy. I don't know why, but I get a lot of light feelings from these names. They're not harsh and abrasive names.

My kids are named Gabriella, Zachary, and Simon.

Distinguished (like Simon), yet playful (like Zachary and choosing Gabriella over Gabrielle).

Your style in names just seems so creative, even artsy to me. Especially Luna and Asher. :)

[identity profile] duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com 2010-08-27 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
For some reason these are kind of futuristic-sounding to me. Like Zenaide could be 2060's Emily.

Post-popular. I don't mean that as a negative, like these names are dated, but just that most of them are on the down slope of popularity.

I'd say a mostly edgy style. They're different, unique names that don't seem to be influenced by what's popular. (Benjamin's kind of an outlier because that's a recognizable name :)

[identity profile] nothingtolose19.livejournal.com 2010-08-27 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
I'm interested in this! :)

Boys: Benjamin, Nathaniel, Jonas, Evander, Dorian, Rory, James, Hunter.

Girls: Alexandra, Calandra, Guinevere, Gwendolyn, Hope, Katherine, Jana, Lena, Lucy, Violet, Willow, Winter, Francesca.

Lots more that I really like, but I tried to keep it small-ish :p

[identity profile] bekahbaby.livejournal.com 2010-08-27 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Flowy but strong. Very classic names that are elegant and flowy (like Nathaniel and Gwendolyn), but also full of strength.

The girls are standing out to me. Mostly they're uncommon, but not too out there. Like, older names coming back in fashion.

[identity profile] bekahbaby.livejournal.com 2010-08-27 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)
This sounds fun! A few favorites:

Boys: Alistair, Dominic, Holden, Mason, Sawyer

Girls: Emmaline, Evelyn, Liana, Rosalie, Rowan

[identity profile] laminy.livejournal.com 2010-08-27 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
The boy names are all quite strong; I could easily picture them on an older man with a lot of power, like a 60-year-old lawyer or something.

The girl names are very light and pretty.

Short & sweet.
Some girls names I'd suggest:
Lily, Daisy, Pearl, Joy, Clara, Helen, Grace, Cora, Louise, Ada, Stella, Ida, Mae, Irene
