the names they chose as the winners are actually 2 of the names i thought were very nice :) idk if i'd ever use any of these in real life bc most of them are not my style at all (i lean more towards traditional names, idk) but they do have a certain "fantasy" air about them and i could easily c them in a fantasy / sci fi book, tv show, movie, etc. soo wat do ya'll think of this list??

I'm not usually a fan of mish mash names but some are quiet nice, & yes very suited to fiction

I like the sound of Arlerio, Vivantha, Ellaby & Elianthe best

I've seen a birth notice for a Harvest 'Harvey'.


There was a US news article recently about a woman arrested for child abuse, someone put it on FB because of her name: Candida

I agree with Julep being in the top two - really beautiful.....although I think I'd use it as a middle name.
Avonlea is okay but if we're smoothing names I'd prefer Avalee.

Others I like are
Marylark
Ellaby
And Jonaby - LOVE that. But for a boy or girl?

I assumed boy, a mash of Jonah and Barnaby came to my mind first.

Its not as obvious as some of the other ideas, I think it could work as unisex

Julep sounds like someone was saying Julie and hiccuped at the end

I grew up with an Avonlea, her mom was obsessed with the books growing yup. I'm 28 so she was likely one of the firsts

Valium...really? Can't wait for someone to name their kid Imodium.

I love Avonlea very Anne of Green Gables

Ocellet is just way too close to Ocelot

I also really like Harvest (as long as its not paired with Autumn!)
