[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.
Here are my thoughts-
Girls:
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] Ann-I love love love [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. It’s smart & feminine & strong & classic & adventurous. I also find the nn [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] to be adorable. [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f] feels like a nice combo. Although I think that I like [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] even more.
[name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] Jane-I’m not sure why, but I can’t get into this name. I just don’t like how the ‘X’ looks. There’s nothing wrong w/it.
Imogen-I like this. It’s sleek & smart but kind of quiet. I especially like it for the nn [name_f]Idgie[/name_f].
Cara-I don’t care for this much, as it kind of feels a little dated. Somehow [name_f]Cora[/name_f] feels fresher. I do prefer this to [name_f]Kara[/name_f] though. The ‘C’ is prettier in my opinion.
Clodagh-Is it Clo-duh? I generally really appreciate unique Gaelic-y names, but I can’t get into this one. At least it’s different & interesting though.
Catherine-That’s nice enough. Not super exciting, but a good solid classic name.
Boys:
[name_u]Alfie[/name_u] Ivan-That’s so adorable.
Patrick-I love [name_m]Patrick[/name_m]. It’s strong & handsome & sporty & friendly.
Claude-This is a neat name. Feels smart & kind. And the nn [name_f]Claudie[/name_f] is adorable. It’s simple but hardly ever done.
Arlo-That’s fun & a little quirky. I like it. And I love the nn [name_u]Ari[/name_u].
Arthur-That’s cute too. Old fashioned & lovable.
James-A good solid classic. Not terribly exciting, but a nice name none the less.
George-Same as above.
Vaughn-Other Berries seem to like this, but I can’t get on board. I just don’t like the look or sound for some reason.
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps.
