I LOVE; Isolde
and i also like Fae, Lilian, gavin and Bijou

what is Amarantha, it looks like Samantha but then in a weird wrong way :\
tho i like Amar for a boy.

This is what behindthename says: From the name of the amaranth flower, which is derived from Greek αμαραντος (amarantos) meaning "unfading". Αμαραντος (Amarantos) was also an Ancient Greek given name.

I like it because it's derived from my favorite word of all time, which is "amaranthine," meaning:

1. Of, relating to, or resembling the amaranth.
2. Eternally beautiful and unfading; everlasting.
3. Deep purple-red.

:)

I'm glad someone else likes Fae and Isolde especially. ♥

I'm not sure what I think of each name (will consider each one below) but I LOVE the list. It's very me, I think. I don't know if that makes sense or not.

Amarantha - I don't like any nth sounds, so I guess no. I DO like the meaning!
Alden - I really like this! Way better than Alton.
Alan - meh
Regan (f) - I like that its from Shakespeare
Gavin - Cool, but kind of trendy
Jack - Classic. Great.
Fleur - Would be a nice middle name. Not into French though
Anastasie - I prefer Anastasia
Ivan - No way.
Fae - Meh. I don't really like -ay sounds
Liliana - So pretty!
Leland (m) - I LOVELOVELOVE a band by the name of Leeland, and a comedian by the name of Leland, so I think I love it!
Arielle - I like this spelling.
Celestina - Mmmm. I think I like Celeste better, but it's nice.
Rowan (m) - NMS
Tessa - LOVE IT
Isolde - I like it a lot
Seraphina - Mmmm I don't think I like it. I like Sera though.
Anabelle - Gorgeous!
Helena - My fave from this list!
Bijou - NMS at all. Too French
Soleil - Way too French, but I like the meaning

Great list!

Amarantha - I don't really like it. It sounds like a trendy version of Samantha - though i'm assuming it's not.
Alden - nms
Alan - it's ok, a little bit boring though.
Regan (f) - love!
Gavin - this is nice
Jack - love this. It's the name of my baby cousin so i'm biased. It's pretty popular here (UK)
Fleur - nms at all
Anastasie- This is quite nice.
Ivan - Prefer Evan
Fae - I like this, but only spelt Faye. Fae is scottish for 'from' so seeing it spelt Fae just makes me think of that
Liliana - love love love this!
Leland (m) - eh nms
Arielle - this is pretty
Celestina - don't like this at all
Rowan (m) - this is nice
Tessa - it's nice enough, just nms
Isolde - i'm not sure how to pronounce this? Since i don't know anyone with this name
Seraphina - it's ok, sounds a bit over the top
Anabelle - pretty
Helena - nms
Bijou - nms
Soleil -again, nms sorry.

My favourite is Liliana =)

Isolde is pronounced eece-OLD. Eece rhyming with fleece, lol. It's from the Irish love story of Tristan and Isolde, which was recently made into a movie.

[queen-mab.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I like fae because of my infatuation with faeries. :) I didn't know that it meant "from" as well.

[bloomingtulip.livejournal.com]

LOVE:
Isolde
Anabelle
Regan (although I prefer Reagan)

How is Anastasie pronounced?

Celestina minus the n is my name :) It's pretty but since I'm so used to my name, it seems wrong somehow

[queen-mab.livejournal.com]

Anastasie I would pronounce On-uh-STOZZ-ee. :)

I think I like Celestia better than Celestina! It's very pretty. :)

[bloomingtulip.livejournal.com]

Leland (m) - Hmm, it's unusual. I don't know.
Arielle - I don't know why but I don't really like it.
Celestina - Nice and unusual.

Tessa - OK
Isolde - It looks nicer written down than it sounds out loud.
Seraphina - Very pretty but I wouldn't use it.
Anabelle - Nice
Helena - Pretty
Bijou - Nah. It's a bit OTT for my tastes
Soleil - Nice word but not a fan of it as a name.

Yup, an amaranth is a plant. A very pretty, purplish red flower. I like it for the word amaranthine, which means unfading and eternally beautiful. Though I think I like Amaranth better than Amarantha now.
