Date: 2007-01-05 05:43 am (UTC)percival is a name you'd get beaten up for. percy would be pushing it
georgia is by far my favorite name on your list. i also like demitri but i'm not a big fan of demetrius

Date: 2007-01-05 05:43 am (UTC)That being said...
Nyphadora is horrible to me. And I don't get where the nickname comes from. I think that's horrible too.
Georgia I love. John is a good ol' classic. Perry and Percy are okay, but I don't like Percival.

Date: 2007-01-05 05:53 am (UTC)It seems immature to me, naming a kid that. Especially with the nickname. Blech.

Date: 2007-01-05 06:12 am (UTC)My 12th birthday party was ALL Titanic, and I lived and breathed it for years with my sister. I was almost 11 when it came out and she was 22 and we bonded over it. My room was all Titanic, I have all kinds of rare collectibles and collections and memorabilia and books, etc. It has since settled, lol, but it's still a dear, dear film to me, and my favorite till the day I die. I still love and cherish watching it. Le sigh. :)

Date: 2007-01-05 06:00 am (UTC)bettie - Too old for my taste.
olive - I don't even like Olivia, so this is a big negative from me too.
georgia - Not my style, but the best of the bunch.
percival (nickname = percy/perry) - Don't like it at all.
demetrius (nickname = demitri) - Decent.
darion - I kinda like it.
john - Too plain and boring.

Date: 2007-01-05 06:47 am (UTC)I like Percival in theory because it brings to mind King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and all that, but he would definitely end up being called Percy, which to me just sounds way too coke-bottle-glasses, pocket-protector nerdy and very far away from the original intent.
Demitri I like; Demetrius and the others are fine, but not really my style.

Date: 2007-01-06 03:50 pm (UTC)I thoroughly dislike Nymphadora on anyone but the real Tonks. It's just too strange, too many potential nicknames, not to mention the zomguberfangirl-yness of it all.
Olive is cute, but I can't see it on an adult.
Georgia is very cute
Percival- Maybe, as long is he doesn't later have a little sister named Tonks. I like the nn Percy best.
Demetrius- It's a little much. I love Demitri, though.
Darion - Not my style.
John- Wow! Very plain next to your other names, but it's a classic.

Date: 2007-01-08 01:04 am (UTC)That said, I'd not suggest using it on a real kid. Not only is there the nympho thing, but she'd be teased by those who know about Harry Potter.
Not a fan of Bettie. The other wo are nice.
I like Perry and Percy on their own, and the spellings Darian (which changes the pronunciation slightly for me, but eh) and Dmitri. And John is John. :p
Overall, not a bad list.
