Wow, what an awful lot of names I don't like! lol I do like Lorna a bit, but probably because of the book Lorna Doone.

The only ones I like are Kinsey, Trista, and Calla, but my cat's name is Callie, so Calla would be far too close to ever be a potential child's name.

Zandra reminds me of the episode of Will & Grace where Jack was taking acting lessons from a woman named Zandra and everytime someone said it Sandra he would yell, "It's ZANDRA with a Z!!" all crazy. LoL

kinsey is the researcher who opened the doors for sex research, hehe. i do like the name but i'd always associate it with SEX! lol.

[zorianna.livejournal.com]

HA! I didn't know that! I guess now I'll think the same thing when I hear it, thanks a lot! LoL

Oooh i forgot Eleni. It's my friend's mum's name, she's Greek. Not sure if it's a greek name though but she's very pretty and it suits her.

I like Cerise, Olesia, Derora & Calla

Odessa is also a seaport in the Ukraine. Mazarine makes me think of Hortense Mazarin, who was one of Charles II's mistresses. Lol, that's probably my thesis taking over my life again.

I like Lisandra, but I don't know if I would ever use it. It's pretty sounding, though.

A tryst is sleeping with someone, Trista actually comes from the latin root "triste" which means sad.

[soulsurvival.livejournal.com]

cooL! I love that stuff. very interesting :)

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

Trista is my name :)!

And as satunian said, a "tryst" is an affair.

My best friend in grade school was a Calla. :)

Alma makes me think of a nun... for some reason?

And Madea is the name of a black women in some movies... starring a black male. It does'nt strike me as a "goth" name. *lol*
