I swear these are real names worn by some of my classmates in eleventh grade.
What do you think of them? Which ones would you like best/consider most usable?
[name_u]Robin[/name_u] (for a girl)
Vilymel (nn [name_u]Billie[/name_u])
Mhelaine (nn Mhels)
[name_f]Gabriela[/name_f]
Blessie
[name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Mariel[/name_f]
Xanthie (goes by her middle name [name_f]Gayle[/name_f])
[name_f]Tamara[/name_f]
[name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]
[name_m]Ronald[/name_m] (there are two of them in our class)
[name_m]Angelo[/name_m] (also two of them)
[name_m]Kean[/name_m]
[name_m]Sean[/name_m]
[name_m]Jayson[/name_m]
Yvohn (pronounced [name_m]Ivan[/name_m])
Merick
I like [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] a lot, but largely because I think the nickname [name_u]Joss[/name_u] is super cool. (I also like [name_u]Joss[/name_u] for a boy.)
[name_f]Mariel[/name_f] is nice, though I’d prefer [name_f]Marielle[/name_f] - a friend just named his baby that. Not really a fan of the others - [name_f]Tamara[/name_f] and [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] seem so dated!
Yes, I’m aware that some of the names seem quite dated, at least to those who live in [name_u]America[/name_u]. That’s why they caught my attention in the first place. It seems that if a name is out of style over there, it will still get a little bit of use over here. But I can’t know for sure. We don’t have an equivalent of the SSA name list, so I’m trying to find out our name trends on my own.
