Bjorn's the only one that doesn't make want to claw my eyes out.

A girl I grew up with has two sons, one named Kyser.

[sakuya-baby.livejournal.com]

What did she name the other one?

[schexyschteve.livejournal.com]

Ryker

@_@

[sakuya-baby.livejournal.com]

That makes me think of the prison in NY. Eugh.

[schexyschteve.livejournal.com]

That's what I think of too. A lot of people pointed out it could be for a sci-fi character (from Star Trek? I don't know), but neither her nor her SO come across as fans of sci fi/Star Trek/wherever it's from.

Commander William T Riker of the USS Enterprise; Star Trek: The Next Generation :D

My brother in law want to name his son Anders after his grandpa but my sister absolutely hates the name haha.

[sakuya-baby.livejournal.com]

Understandably! I found it a bit awkward to call someone, but I suppose you get used to it after a bit.

[smallandneedy.livejournal.com]

It's a very common name in Norway, where we live. I went to school with an Anders. And that guy who bombed Oslo back in July is named Anders.
My brother in law's middle name is Andreas, which his parents used instead of Anders as a way of naming him after his grandpa, and Andreas is a much nicer name imo.
My nephew will probably end up with some weird, nerdy name though hahahaha.

Haha, my brother is called Björn Andreas, Andreas being his first name and Björn despite being "first" being his middle name (which is a really Scandinavian thing I think). My mother is Swedish.

Georg is a guilty pleasure of mine (from growing up watching The Sound of Music constantly... it always makes me think of Christopher Plummer as Captain Von Trapp *swoon*)

I always like Kaiser as a dog name... like a big German Shepherd, y'know?

[smallandneedy.livejournal.com]

I just remembered my friend named her bird Georg :) He suits it haha

[lorienellen.livejournal.com]

Growing up I had a german shepherd named Kaiser. :-)

Kaiser is the name of a beer in Brazil. A bad beer.

I am having the hardest type pronouncing Kylieve. It's so incredibly awkward to say. "Ky-leev" is the only way it feels "natural."

Anders is a total guilty pleasure of mine. I like Bjorn too.

Cerise is French for Cherry...Not digging it.

[heure-actuelle.livejournal.com]

i really love the name Anders, but pron. On-ders not Anne-ders

[rubytitania.livejournal.com]

I love Waverley - it's one of my favourites (although I prefer it without the second E). I actually don't mind Cerise too much either. I strongly dislike the other girls' names.

Anders is really nice, although I wouldn't use it as it doesn't sound very English and I think it might be a bit odd. Bjorn and Georg are ok. Kaiser is a bit daft. I think Cesare is a lovely name but I can't get past the Borgia association.

[landslideoflove.livejournal.com]

I love Cesare because of the Borgia association. :)

[rubytitania.livejournal.com]

Lol! :)

[roxtarrr.livejournal.com]

Most of the boy names aren't too bad.

But "Crystal-line", er.... =/

[retrodancekitty.livejournal.com]

It's odd but I like Waverley :/

[hermione-vader.livejournal.com]

The girls' names are pretty terrible, not gonna lie. The boys names are better, if very uncommon.

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

The girls' names are terrible. The pronunciation of Kylieve reminds me of the pain med Aleve.

I don't like any of the boys' names in particular either, but they're better. Anders reminds me of the character by that name from Battlestar: Galactica.

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

I love Cerise and Anders. I must admit that Waverly (without the extra E) has been a guilty pleasure for a couple years.
