[identity profile] juniorfan29.livejournal.com posting in [community profile] babynames
A friend of mine, knowing my obsession with baby names, shared THIS LINK with me, today. Not gonna lie...while 90% of them are horrendous in ways that can not be put into words...there were a few on there that I would put on my guilty pleasure/"if i were a celebrity" list. So...let's play a little game. If you were naming a baby girl, and that list was THE ONLY "names" you had to choose from...what ones would be on your short list?

Mine are...

Very, Idea, Shandy, Every, Epiphany, Veranda, Haiti, Chutney (wasn't that the name of the daughter on Legally Blonde?), Daily

Favorites are in bold.

Well Flavia is a legit name so that one gets on my list XD Circa sounds like it could be a name. Mostly and Barely made me think of Nearly from Spares.

Yaoi is on this list. Do not want.

Though if I could get away with it, I probably would use Nutella for a daughter.

Also, this list as a whole is a goldmine for Parody Sue names.

Ha ha, this list is hilarious! If I had to, I'd probably use Every, Circa, and Epiphany.

Anathema.

From the list I've heard of an Epiphany goes by nn Eppie in her early 20's

I did see in a competition last month twin girls called Envy and Bliss.

Every, Circa, Vanilla, Acura, and Etsy, I could maybe live with. I actually think Etsy would be a cute nickname for something, but I'm not sure what.

Chutney was the name of the daughter in Legally Blonde, you're right. Which reminds me of Miranda Hart's parody of the names of the children of the public school girls she went to school with: 'Mozzarella and Bruschetta'.

Enmity Mania. I don't know. I mean, for this game, the words don't mean what they actually mean, do they?

I like Semolina because it sounds like Simonetta, and I know a couple people with that name. But but it's a mouthful, so I wouldn't use it (either one).

Circa, Agita, Etsy, Lacuna

I always thought Rubella would be a nice-sounding name, if it weren't, you know...a disease.

Oh dear. Not much sense to get from that list.
Anyway:

Every
Only
Mania (I can see this being awesome if the kid turns out somewhat goth and alternative)
Australia (Hey, if someone can be named America then why not Australia?)
Area

I'm extremely picky with word names! I like them, but I hate a lot of other people's word names, so yeah. From this list, I like Circa, although I'd prefer Circe just a bit.

Word names actually on our list: Finch, Fog, Fawkes, Wolfe.


I like Chutney as a awesome, funny nickname! And wasn't it a nickname on The Simpsons? Something like Chutney Face? :)

I would only barely consider these:
Entropy, Semolina , Idea, Lacuna

I have a friend who's name is Esty and every time I read it I mis-read Etsy. I also have a co-worker who named his daughter with the middle name Medulla (for Medulla Oblongata in the brain. (we're brain scientists)) and every time he's asked about it says: "It means middle! her middle name means middle, how cool is that?!" Ugh.
