Some Recent Names

[unboundvoice.livejournal.com]

Here are a few baby/child names that I have come across recently in my social circles (sibsets grouped together, middle names where I know them):

Georgia Moon
Bentley Rouge (f)

Scout (f)
Sebastian (m)
Sailor Alice (f)

Bixby Kirk
Tanner
Hawkins Ridge

Kirra Marie

Mckinnley

MacKenzie Marie


I honestly think the only names I like here are Georgia and Alice. WDYT?

I like Georgia Moon.

Bentley is terrible on a boy or a girl.

Scout (I know, I know, To Kill a Mockingbird!) but even then, it was just a nickname. Would sound better on a boy, imo, and only as a nn.

Sebastian I actually like, but I would never use because all I can think of when I first hear it is The Little Mermaid.

Sailor is kind of ridiculous, but Alice is nice. Perhaps she will go by that.

Bixby sounds like somebody's pet turtle. Kirk = meh.

Tanner is not so bad, but still nms.

Hawkins Ridge? Is this a child or a geographical location?

Kirra isn't awful, but I prefer Kiera. Unless of course they're pronouncing it "Kyra" which is just not cool. Marie = meh.

Mckinnley and MacKenzie are both trendy and annoying to me. I went to school with a male Mackenzie and the only name he went by (Mac) grew on me quite a bit.

My bestie just called her new baby Sebastian and I love it.

I really like Georgia. And Scout's been a guilty pleasure of mine for a long time.

I really hate this "Mc/Mac" trend.

I hate that trend too! I especially dislike the "Mac" beginning, because I want to read it as it's spelled- Mac-Kenzie

I like Georgia, Scout and Sebastian.

I love Scout, but only for a nickname or a dog. Bixby Kirk and Hawkins Ridge sound like towns.

Bixby is actually named after the bridge in Big Sur. I googled Hawkins Ridge and found a hunting lodge haha

I think Scout and Sailor are cute, but they fit more as dog names.

Bentley makes me think of the store in the mall; I think Sailor is an... unfortunate... name, Bixby just sounds like a cat or puppy...

Hawkins reminds me of the main character in Carnivale... though it was his last name. I don't mind it. The rest are okay.

I really adore Sebastian for a boy, I had considered it for one of my sons. The Little Mermaid comment made me giggle because I had forgotten about the crab. I used to love that cartoon!

I also love the name Keira for a girl, it's on my current list of girl names I *might* use if I have another girl.

I used Mackenzie as a middle name for my eldest son, but only because I thought the scottish name flowed well with the Irish first name I gave him. I never noticed it being so popular then, but both Aidan and Mackenzie got really popular afterwards!!

I don't really prefer any of the other names at all.

I like Sebastian, MacKenzie, Tanner, and Bentley, but I'm not sure I'd personally use them. Sailor is...interesting.
