The Quick Poll Thread! (Part 2)

Same! That was such a drastic change!

3 Likes

I discovered Nameberry around 2017 (really enjoyed browsing the forums especially) and finally joined last year! To be honest, the switch over to the new forum made this place seem more approachable to me & made me want to join. :slightly_smiling_face: I liked the old forum too, but the style made it came across more clique-ish to me - like l was intruding on private conversations, somehow.

me too! I was mainly concerned because I thought I couldn’t finish a project I had been working on for a year at that point, but also I’ll admit I just hate change :grimacing:

I like it now though

Rose, [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] as a sibset?

If you clicked Meh or lower ~ Click all that apply
  • Rose doesn’t belong
  • Lucy doesn’t belong
  • Alice doesn’t belong
  • Flora doesn’t belong
  • Mabel doesn’t belong
  • It’s too floral
  • It’s weird that [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Flora[/name_f] are the only floral names
  • Why do [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] only have 4 letters?
  • Why does [name_f]Alice[/name_f] start with a vowel?
  • Why doesn’t [name_f]Rose[/name_f] contain an L?
  • Why is [name_f]Rose[/name_f] one syllable?
  • It’s perfectly fine

I like [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] together, it’s perfect! I do like [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] as a name but I don’t like it in that set.

same as @teddybearclub I love all the names but [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], it just feels a little insubstantial next to the other names.

If [name_u]James[/name_u] can be [name_m]Jim[/name_m], I don’t see why it can’t be [name_u]Jem[/name_u]. At least there’s an ā€œeā€ in the name, unlike ā€œiā€.

Two [name_m]Lloyd[/name_m] polls:

  • Harrison [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Locke[/name_m]
  • Harrison [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Lloyd[/name_m]

And:

  • Thaddeus [name_m]Lloyd[/name_m] Crowley
  • Thaddeus Peregine Crowley

0 voters

I prefer [name_u]Peregrine[/name_u] as a name but with [name_u]Thaddeus[/name_u] I think it’s too many syllables and messes up the flow

If Crowley is a middle name, I would prefer [name_u]Thaddeus[/name_u] Crowley [name_u]Peregrine[/name_u]

I think they are absolutely beautiful together! :heart_eyes: If it were for real sisters, I’d probably limit the floral first names to one or two. [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] together would be just a little too much for a real sibset imo.

In [name_m]German[/name_m] I would say it more like [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] but in [name_f]English[/name_f] I’d go for sess-see-lee, so a more pronounced ee sound in the second syllable than [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] but with the lee ending. There’s also [name_f]Cecile[/name_f], the [name_u]French[/name_u] version of the name, which I pronounce suh-seel.

I seem to be in the minority but at first glance I’d assume it was like ā€œseh-SEE-leeā€

it would depend where I was, in Denmark I would say suh-seel-yuh, in [name_f]France[/name_f] I would say seh-sih-lee and in [name_f]England[/name_f] I would say [name_f]Cecily[/name_f]

Preference between these feminine names with unisex nicknames?
(You can choose both)

  • [name_f]Emily[/name_f] ā€œ[name_u]Lee[/name_u]ā€
  • [name_f]Grace[/name_f] ā€œ[name_u]Grey[/name_u]ā€
0 voters

I know Grace ā€œ[name_u]Gray[/name_u]ā€ makes more sense, but I prefer the grey spelling
