I always think it is funny when someone says a name looks “made up” because at one time all names were made up.
I don’t know, I love old names, new names, all names…
LOL I had to laugh when I read your thread; I always say this about names! [name]Even[/name] though I think you’re right - all names were “made up” at one time or another. I dunno…I’m not really a fan of “combined” names, I guess, like “[name]Kailynn[/name]” or “[name]Kiana[/name]” or “[name]Brianna[/name]” and stuff like that. I also feel stuff like “Breaujene” and “[name]Shaniqua[/name]” look made-up.
Hard to define, easy to spot.
I know what you are saying but some really great names have come about that way and some really not so great names…I just think saying that squashes all creativity and kind puts down anything that is new.
