namesss

[xcuore.livejournal.com]

my list of names has grown since i'm in this community so;

Girls	Boys
Aimee Alize (prnc in French) Anaïs (prnc in French) Andrea Ava Daning Emma Emiliana Evi Fayah Giselle Isabeau Isis Isobel Isolde Jade Julia // Juliet Kylie Lillianne Liz Lucia Lydia Meike Mila Nicea* (prnc in Dutch) Penelope Ruby Sacha Sage Sienna	Alexei Ash // Ashton // Asher Beau Caleb Cas Christoph Damien (prcd in French) Dante David Evan Ethan Hayden Julian Matthijs Milan Millau (prnc in French) Misha Nathaniel // Nathan Noah Rodin (prnc in french) Roman (prnc in French) Sylvester Tristan Xander // Zander Xavier

* the name Nicea doesnt sound like the word "nice+a" its "ni-cea" 

IMO most names are more beautiful in French than in English :)

Any opinions?

my Romanian ass keeps pronouncing Nicea as 'nee-chuh.' I don't get how to pronounce it correctly. :(

[xcuore.livejournal.com]

ok, i'll try to explain;
Ni-cea
Ni is like many
ce is like cereal
and then you end the name with; a long áá like mariah

if that makes sense ?

[secret-x-stars.livejournal.com]

ohhh okay! :D

it's a nice name. :)

and YES SO MANY FRENCH NAMES ARE JUST BETTER FRENCH. like Jeanne and Virginie and Charlotte. omg. :(

[tokossel.livejournal.com]

i agree, a lot of names sound much prettier in french! including anais. it used to be one of my favourites but it was one of the few names my french ex & i could agree on...and i can't imagine using it now! :(

out of your names i like:

anais
mila
ruby
isis

julian
noah
roman

i like some of the others too but probably wouldn't use them! cool list overall. just wondering, how would you pronounce the name 'damian' the french way? i've only ever seen it spelled 'damien' in france and i know how to pronounce that but not sure how french people would say 'damian' with an 'a'.

[xcuore.livejournal.com]

haha i'm stupid, i should have written Damien... i'll fix that now :)
stupid me:\

[secret-x-stars.livejournal.com]

I've seen Damian in a french context and it was pronounced: 'dahm-yahn.'

is Damien like 'dahm-yehn' with a nasally N?

eeek pronunciations are hard rofl

[xcuore.livejournal.com]

yes.. that french nasal N is ♥ ^^

[tokossel.livejournal.com]

the way i say 'damien' is...hmmm, it's kinda impossible to say in england. but it's not like you pronounce the final 'n'. it's kinda like dam- yeh, but not.

[tokossel.livejournal.com]

in english, not in england! haha @ the french nasal-ness.

I'm procrastinating... so make way for the opinion-train!

Aimee - I love this spelling... if the name wasn't so common (Amy) I'd really consider using it.
Alize - NMS
Anaïs - NMS
Andrea - I've never liked this name, probably because I know so many people with it that it's become blah to me.
Ava - I like it despite it's popularity
Daning - Never heard this before... it just looks awkward to me, but I actually don't mind how it sounds... I have a friend name "Danelle", perhaps you'd like that - it's quite similar.
Emma - this one's weird for me, it either reminds me of tiny cute little girl or a large unattractive old woman... I don't know... not for me.
Emiliana - how do you say this?
Evi - cute, but looks unfinished to me
Fayah - interesting... it's alright.
Giselle - beauty school.
Isabeau - Unique, but not for me.
Isis - gorgeous
Isobel - beautiful
Isolde - It looks so pretty but when said it just sounds like "_____ is old" to me...
Jade - kind of plain, but nice.
Julia // Juliet - Juliet is better :)
Kylie - ok... but I don't think it ages well particularly
Lillianne - it's alright I guess
Liz - a nickname
Lucia - ok
Lydia - ok
Meike - ok
Mila - beautiful... one of my top 5!!
Penelope - I've never understood the appeal of this name... oh well.
Ruby - pretty
Sacha - a dogs name.
Sage - I love it as a middle name :)
Sienna - beautiful.

Alexei - interesting, too feminine for me.
Ash // Ashton // Asher - I like 'em all.
Beau - Days of our lives ;)!
Caleb - Not for me...
Cas - NMS
Christoph - NMS
Damian (prcd in French) - beautiful
Dante - I love this name for some odd reason
David - too many annoying associations in my life.
Evan - I love this name as well... I just hate that it's Top 100
Ethan - Love love love this name, but couldn't deal with it being the #1 name in the country.
Hayden - I've known 2 children by this name - 1 adorable, 1 annoying... either way, I don't really go for "den" names in general... if any, I prefer "Aidan"
Julian - its ok.
Matthijs - not for me
Milan - NMS
Millau (prnc in French) - NMS
Misha - girls name to me...
Nathaniel // Nathan - I prefer Nathan... great name
Noah - Love love love.
Rodin (prnc in french) - ok.
Roman (prnc in French) - ok.
Sylvester - the cat!
Tristan - male version of my name, I'm bias, I love it
Xander // Zander - ok.
Xavier - ok.

Although we have quite different tastes for the most part, I love how unique your list is!

[xcuore.livejournal.com]

actually Aimee is not like Amy in my pronouncuation;
Amy; eh-mee
Aimee; Aj-meh (from the verb Aimer - to love in French)

i pronounce Emiliana like Eh-mili-anuh (my pronouncuation writing sucks b/c in dutch i'd write; é-mili-jhana i hope you understand Eh-mili-anuh :P)

[o-honeybee-o.livejournal.com]

Of the girl names i like Ruby, Sienna, Jade (i prefer Jada though) and Emiliana looks pretty but im not sure how to pronounce it.
Fayah sounds pretty, but i much prefer Freya (fray-uh), there's a 3 yr old with this name where i work and she's just adorable so i might be a little biased ;)

Of the boy names i like, Ashton, Asher, Beau, Dante, Evan, Ethan, Nathanial, Noah, Roman and Tristan =)

[bexeh.livejournal.com]

i like

lilianne
mila
nicea

dante
tristian

thats it, i think alot of them are quite pretentious. sorry thats just my opinion

[screaming--pink.livejournal.com]

Juliet is the girl middle name I have picked out and I adore it!

[blissurrenderd.livejournal.com]

I've always LOVED the name Alexei, but think it's too feminine to use around here.

I love a lot of your names, actually!

[so-there.livejournal.com]

I need to have twins, a boy and a girl, so I can name them Trent and Nicea.

[xcuore.livejournal.com]

[springtide-hfa.livejournal.com]

I'm studying the Council of Nicea/ the Nicene Creed at the moment and it's really not something I'd want to lumber a child with :/

[xcuore.livejournal.com]

what happend at the Council of Nicea?

[suthnoli.livejournal.com]

This (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Council_of_Nicaea). It's a whole lot of religious weight and book-burning and stoning and woe, basically.
