I once worked with a woman named Anakarina

What are your favourite 4+ syllable names for either gender?

Annabella is my all-time favorite name, but unfortunately I have a long last name so I don't think I'll ever use it.

Generally speaking, I don't like 4+ names because I'm not a fan of frilly names. And 4+ ones are usually frilly =). One long name that I do like is Eliora. It's exactly 4, though.

Eulalia, my daughter's name, for a girl.

Bonaventure for a boy, but I wouldn't use it.

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

just out of curiosity... did you know that that name is guayù and means 'only we are people'? most people think it's ana + karina but it's actually a tribal name meaning that xD I always find it funny cause it has a racist sort of connotation around here now-a-days.

[melly-issa.livejournal.com]

No, I definitely assumed an Ana & Karina combination. I'd like to think her parents assumed the same, because otherwise yeah, that does seem pretty racist.

I <3 Anastasia.

[lilmizmombassa.livejournal.com]

Totally agree with this. I knew a girl named Anatalia, and I don't like it, but interestingly enough her sister was Anastacia (RIP). Their third sister? Amanda. :-)

Most of mine are for girls, and are very much guilty pleasures:
Andromeda
Constantina
Domenica
Eurydice

For boys, the only 4+ syllable name I really like is Jeremiah.

My mom almost named me Christiana.

My favorites are:
Liliana/Lilianna (I pronounce them differently)
Emmanuel

I just realized all the names that I've liked are three or less syllables!

[flufflenecharka.livejournal.com]

The only really long name I can think of off the top of my head is Kadorina and its male form Kadarino. Everything else I like is in the 1-3 range.
