[identity profile] super-bitch06.livejournal.com posting in [community profile] babynames
So I was talking to my friend today and she mentioned a coworker of hers named Tenlee pronounced just like it looks, Ten-lee. WDYT? I'm not to sure what to think, it's different, but I think it's a little too much for my taste.

Also, I was talking to one of my own coworkers and she was talking about her babies, Zander and Aquina (uh-quinn-uh) WDYT of them?

And, then of corse, my own list has been rearranged and cut down to 8 names, just thought I'd post them and get some opinons... most of the names I'm liking right now have been mentioned on here lately, so yeah.

Juliet Simone, Lillian Jade, Willow Annette, Evelyn Rose, Amelia Nadine/Noelle, Charlotte Estelle, Madeline Grace, Isabelle don't have a middle name yet lol

Woot, so yeah, opinions galore....

Zander reminds me of Xander from Drawn Together on Comedy Central. Oh and I used to work at the registrar at my school a few years back. I was pulling out transcripts, and the one girl's name was Acquanett.

I would never pronounce Aquina like that. I want to pronounce it "a-KEE-na."

And I LOVE Amelia Nadie and Charlotte Estelle. :)

It would be better as Tenley. I've liked that name for a while.

Tenlee reminds me of Tenleytown, a neighborhood where I go to school! I think the -ee ending is always a bad way to go.

Zander is awful. Aquina is OK. It sounds a little ghetto. I know Michael J Fox has a daughter named Aquinnah.

Juliet Simone: this looks pretty, but when said out loud it doens't flow.
Lillian Jade: WHY would you take a classic name like Lillian and tack a stripper name onto it?
Willow Annette: pretty
Evelyn Rose: LOVE it.
Amelia Nadine/Noelle: Amelia Noelle sounds better. The 'l' sound repeated is pretty.
Charlotte Estelle: pretty
Madeline Grace: pretty.
Isabelle: the first thing that popped in my head was Isabelle Julia. Isabelle Juliet could work, too.

I knew a girl in high school named Tenley. It suit her very well. But I did grow up knowing her and her unique name. I think its very unique and uncommon, but not too out there.

aquinnah is the proper spelling. its a sacred place, and a native american tribe, on marthas vineyard. its really pathetic that she would feel the need to misspell it, since the correct spelling is much nicer and her spelling doesnt even make sense pronounced like that.

zander/xander is nice as a nickname for alexander. but otherwise i hate it.

tenlee is stupid.

for your names, i like juliet simone, lillian (cannot stand jade though, yuck), amelia noelle, charlotte estelle (love that combo!!), madeline grace and isabel.

Tenlee - hmm reminds me of my friend Tennalle (Ten-elle)... I don't really care for it.
Zander - one of my LEAST favorite boys names. Its a NICKNAME and that's all it's good for. I hate it as a full name
Aquina - meh, it looks like Uh-queen-uh to me. I don't like it.

Now, your list :)
Juliet Simone - love it :)
Lillian Jade - cute, but I'm not a fan of Jade. Too trendy for me, but I love Lillian
Willow Annette - yuck I hate Willow as a name
Evelyn Rose - love Evelyn, Rose is too filler for me.
Amelia Nadine/Noelle - Amelia Noelle is lovely
Charlotte Estelle - love it
Madeline Grace - meh its okay but there are probably a zillion Madeline Graces running around nowadays!
Isabelle - love it

Tenlee is bizarre. Xander is awesome, but Zander sounds like some sort of alien fighter. Aquina....like St Thomas Aquinas?


Juliet Simone - great combo
Lillian Jade - I prefer just plain Lily but very pretty
Willow Annette - dont really like either name but they sound really sweet together!
Evelyn Rose - nms
Amelia Nadine/Noelle - Nadine is gorgeous. but amelia...just nms
Charlotte Estelle - Charlotte is lovely but Estelle just reminds me of George's mom on Seinfeld
Madeline Grace - i know it's trendy but i really like it!
Isabelle- one of my favorites. I like Charlotte Isabelle myself.

I like Tenlee but spelled Tenley. In fact, there was a figure skater named Tenley Albright in the 1950's (here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenley_Albright)).

I also like Aquina but prefer the Aquinnah spelling. I think that's the name of one of Michael J. Fox's kids??
