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”. 
[name_u]Mallory[/name_u] and [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f], I love how they look on paper but said out loud it’s unpleasant to my ears.
Hmm, I’d say I like the sound less than I like the look of these:
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f]
[name_m]Lysander[/name_m]
[name_f]Pomeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Elysia[/name_f], [name_f]Aislinn[/name_f].
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!
[name_f]Astraea[/name_f]! It looks so pretty but as @LeafTree said recently it just sounds like ‘straya as in Australia 
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f]
[name_f]Iolanthe[/name_f]
[name_f]Flavia[/name_f]
[name_f]Isaure[/name_f]
[name_f]Iseult[/name_f]
[name_u]Alix[/name_u]
[name_f]Hebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Thisbe[/name_f]

[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Artem[/name_m]
[name_m]Donnacha[/name_m]
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.
I want love it, but I always think ‘ash tray’. I’ve always enjoyed the look of ‘ae’ for some reason.
My husband said the exact same! 
Aurora! I don’t find it difficult to pronounce, I just don’t love how it sounds 
Also Isolde. It’s so pretty written out but I can’t love it because of the sounds.
[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)
[name_m]Matthias[/name_m]
[name_f]Jeanette[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_u]Courtney[/name_u]
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f]
[name_f]Eunice[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f]

100% [name_f]Portia[/name_f]

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.
[name_m]Abraham[/name_m], [name_f]Sienna[/name_f] and [name_f]Freya[/name_f] for me
EU names! I love how they look but not how they sound. E.g [name_m]Eugene[/name_m], [name_f]Euphemia[/name_f], [name_f]Eudora[/name_f].
