[name]Hi[/name]! I am not expected, but I would love to see what you have to say about my favorite names. I would actually consider giving these to a child.
Girls:
[name]Calista[/name] (nn would be [name]Calla[/name], not [name]Callie[/name]. It might be impossible to avoid [name]Callie[/name], but I can dream.)
[name]Aurora[/name] ([name]Rory[/name])
[name]Esme[/name]
[name]Willow[/name]
[name]Isidora[/name] (I would pair this with a V middle, such as [name]Violet[/name], to get nn [name]Ivy[/name])
[name]Coraline[/name] ([name]Cora[/name])
[name]Quinn[/name]
Boys:
[name]Jasper[/name] (not a Twilight fan, even though [name]Esme[/name] also appears on this list)
[name]Cole[/name]
[name]Ezra[/name]
[name]Archer[/name]
[name]Leo[/name]
[name]Finn[/name]
[name]Tristan[/name]
[name]Calista[/name] - [name]Calista[/name] is really nice and will age beautifully. It reminds me of [name]Calista[/name] Flockhart. I’m not a fan of nicknames at all so altogether, I would avoid them especially on a name as lovely as [name]Calista[/name]. But since you seem to like them, [name]Calla[/name] is a much classier and sophisticated nickname than [name]Callie[/name]. I don’t think people will call her [name]Callie[/name] as long as you don’t call her that.
[name]Aurora[/name] - [name]Aurora[/name] is a mouthful! I don’t like it at all.
[name]Esme[/name] - Not a fan.
[name]Willow[/name] - Same as above. Sounds harsh and too rough on a little girl, [name]IMO[/name].
[name]Isidora[/name] - Very, very old-fashioned but it has a nice ring to it.
[name]Coraline[/name] - Again, extremely old-fashioned. I’m not really a fan of this one.
[name]Quinn[/name] - I adore the name [name]Quinn[/name], but I don’t love it. I immediately think of Glee (which I’m a huge fan of anyway, so…).
[name]Jasper[/name] - I think it works better for a dog/cat than a person.
[name]Cole[/name] - Cute, simple, handsome, but almost too plain for my taste.
[name]Ezra[/name] - Sounds girly, [name]IMO[/name].
[name]Archer[/name] - I like it, but don’t love it.
[name]Leo[/name] - Not a fan.
[name]Finn[/name] - Again, I think of Glee… and fish!
[name]Tristan[/name] - My brother’s name. I like it.
