Over the past few months I’ve gotten a few ideas of what some of my friends would name their children and I wanted to share with all you lovely berries to see what the average 17-18 yr old girl thinks up in Midwest Ohio.
[name]Friend[/name] 1:
[name]Eris[/name] [name]Nicole[/name]
Siren [name]Sparrow[/name]
Acheron [name]Alexander[/name]
[name]Lucian[/name]
[name]Friend[/name] 2:
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Remus[/name]
[name]Friend[/name] 3:
[name]Jacub[/name]
[name]Masen[/name]
[name]Apple[/name]
[name]Blue[/name] (g)
[name]Friend[/name] 4:
[name]Tylyr[/name] (g)
[name]Rossie[/name] (g)
[name]Alexis[/name] (g)
[name]Devynn[/name] (g)
[name]Shaine[/name] (g)
[name]Robert[/name]
[name]Matthew[/name]
[name]Ford[/name]
The first two have great tastes. The second two…not so much. I love [name]Eris[/name]!
Friends 3 and 4 should not be allowed to name anything. 1 and 2 have the taste I did at 17 – a mix of solid offbeat choices ([name]Lucian[/name], [name]Eris[/name]) with unexpectedly popular classics ([name]Violet[/name]) and unfortunate “whimsical” choices that will never actually get used ([name]Remus[/name], Acheron).
[name]Sparrow[/name] and [name]Alexander[/name] are nice, and so is [name]Violet[/name]… But as for the rest, not exactly my style.
I’ve bolded my faves from your friends’ lists.
[name]Friend[/name] 1:
[name]Eris[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - Sounds like [name]Nicole[/name] the Heiress.
Siren [name]Sparrow[/name] - one word per combo is my rule. This is too wordy.
Acheron [name]Alexander[/name] - [name]Alexander[/name] is a fine name.
[name]Lucian[/name] - [name]Lucian[/name] would make a great brother for [name]Alexander[/name].
[name]Friend[/name] 2:
[name]Violet[/name] - this is fine
[name]Remus[/name] - ok
[name]Friend[/name] 3 sounds like a celebrity wannabe. Bad spellings aren’t cool ([name]Jacub[/name] and [name]Masen[/name]) and [name]Mason[/name], [name]Apple[/name] and [name]Blue[/name] are well-known celebrity children
[name]Friend[/name] 4 has spellings that aren’t correct ([name]Tylyr[/name] and [name]Devynn[/name] are terrible and will only cause her girls grief all of their lives because they’ll have to spell them) and [name]Rossie[/name] and [name]Shaine[/name] are too boyish for my comfort level. [name]Alexis[/name] is “dated” to the Dynasty era. None of the boys names are my taste.
