Some Names

[lilmizmombassa.livejournal.com]

I just finished a book by a female author. Her first name is Sundee.
The book is dedicated to her two daughters, Skye Lettiann and Umbria Mae.
The book is about twin girls, Keira Sol and Minerva Lunette. "Keira" means "sun" in Egyptian, as does "sol" in Spanish. "Lunette" means "little moon". Interesting, and subtle, I like it.

I read another book recently with an interesting sib set: Shakespeare and Gandhi, both boys. The parents mentioned wanting to name their daughter Onomatopoeia....certainly puts a new spin on using a word for a baby name. :)

And two babies, just born, that I know in real life:
Savannah Jo-ella Michelle (g)
Ryan Fox (b)

I like most of these! I strongly prefer Skye to be Sky and I'd rather Lunette was Luna, but Umbria Mae and Keira Sol are really pretty.

Lunettes (with an -s) is the French word for 'glasses,' so that's all I can think of when I see that name.

I love Sky(e) and Mae!

Minerva (the Roman goddess of wisdom) was one of the symbols of the university where I started my degree. I really like the name.

I think Jo-ella is awful.

Onomatopoeia is fun to say, but as a name? I don't like it.

Sundee, Skye Lettiann and Umbria Mae are horrible. Keira Sol is alright, Minerva Lunette is pretty.

Shakespeare, Gandhi and Onomatopoeia would be the worst sibset ever. Shakespeare and Gandi? Like, try harder.

I love Savannah.

I like Mae, Sol as a middle name, Savannah and Ryan Fox.

Too space-cadet for me. Keira and Minerva are okay on their own, though.
