What are some names you like the look of (i.e. like when written out, names that please you aesthetically) but you don’t particularly like as a name?
For me, I’d say probably [name_m]Abel[/name_m] and [name_f]Sonya[/name_f]. I think [name_m]Abel[/name_m] looks so handsome, and I love the springiness and playfulness of [name_f]Sonya[/name_f], but I don’t love the sounds of the names all that much
I don’t really have many, but [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] / [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] would be the exact opposite! I love the name but when it is spelled with a “ph” I think it needs an “f” and when spelled with an “f” I think it needs a “ph”.
Esp. because I first came across [name_f]Aislinn[/name_f] (in written form) as a kid, and in my head was mispronouncing it with an “ay” sound at the start like [name_u]Ainsley[/name_u]. [name_u]Love[/name_u] that ay sound, but can’t find enough names I love which have it!
Aurora. I love the way this name looks, but no matter in which accent someone says it out loud, it always sounds off. And personally I also find it difficult to pronounce, especially in English.
[name_f]Aine[/name_f] (or Áine? I’ve seen it both ways)
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Clarabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] and Sylvie( I’m close to actually liking them but ehh)
Cecily!
I love the look & thought it was pronounced “seh see lee” (like Cecilia without the A) for the longest time. Slowly coming around to the usual pronunciation.
