Thoughts On My Signature~

General Name Discussion
1

So, I completely revamped my signature last night (as well as changing the format I was using a littke) and I wanted to know opinions/ratings/likes/dislikes/etc of the names on it.

I have also separated the names on my signature that I like for reasons other than “It sounds cute” out in four categories (family names, special connection, childhood name crush, and top favourite) for those of you who feel like knowing my reasoning for each name will improve your rating~ Other than that

*: special connection (because of literature, mythology, etc)

** childhood name crush

*** Top favourites

****family name (this one only applies to [name_u]Reed[/name_u])

Some of these may have a double/triple like * ** *** or ** ***. That means it’s (ex) both * and **

[name_f]Aeliana[/name_f] [name_f]Valerie[/name_f][name_f]Fawn[/name_f]
Anaxandra* *** [name_f]Melody[/name_f]* [name_u]Pepper[/name_u]*

I’ll rate the names down below, however, as for the look of your signature; I’d put in spaces, dashes, dots, etc. (something to seperate the combos) as it makes everything look a lot cleaner, gives the names space to shine and stand out and gives the signature a more mature look.
Also, you migth want to center the signature as (at least on my screen) it looks a bit cluttered with a flush left look with the lines being so long.

As for the names:

[name_f]Aeliana[/name_f] [name_f]Valerie[/name_f] [name_f]Fawn[/name_f] - I don’t like the look of the first name, however the sound and the combo are both nice
Anaxandra [name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_u]Pepper[/name_u] - I like Anaxandra [name_f]Melody[/name_f] or Anaxandra [name_u]Pepper[/name_u] but [name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_u]Pepper[/name_u] is a bit too wordy for me
[name_f]Annabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Onyx[/name_u] [name_f]Demetria[/name_f] - this feels like a lot of name, not a bad combo, just a lot of name
[name_u]Artemis[/name_u] [name_f]Adabella[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] - not a huge fan of [name_f]Adabella[/name_f] but I like [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_u]Reed[/name_u] - [name_u]Reed[/name_u] stands out a lot here, it’s so very different to the rest, I find it takes away fromt the combo
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Xanthene[/name_f] - I really only like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] but the flow and the sound are nice here
[name_u]Ellington[/name_u] [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - [name_u]Ellington[/name_u] is too masculine for me, especially with [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] it feels out of place and very different to the rest of your combos; it does work with [name_u]Reed[/name_u], though
[name_f]El[/name_f]żbieta [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] [name_f]Antigone[/name_f] - in an English speaking country the first name would create major spelling an prn. problems; I do like [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] [name_f]Antigone[/name_f], however
[name_f]Erika[/name_f] Arsinoë [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] - [name_f]Erika[/name_f] feels extremly dated, I like Arsinoe [name_f]Blythe[/name_f], though
[name_f]Gianna[/name_f] [name_f]Mallory[/name_f] [name_f]Pallas[/name_f] - [name_f]Gianna[/name_f] [name_f]Mallory[/name_f] works nicely together; not sure what I think about [name_f]Pallas[/name_f], it doesn’t quite feel like a name to me
[name_f]Josslyn[/name_f] [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] - not a fan of [name_f]Josslyn[/name_f] but I like [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Minerva[/name_f]
[name_f]Serafina[/name_f] Nightshade [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] - not a fan of Nightshade but all in all not a bad combo

[name_m]Alec[/name_m] [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] - this is nice
[name_m]Alfred[/name_m] [name_m]Alois[/name_m] [name_m]Foster[/name_m] - [name_m]Foster[/name_m] feels more like a LN here as it’s so stylistically different but not bad
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_m]Adrian[/name_m] [name_m]Pollux[/name_m] - [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_m]Adrian[/name_m] is handsome, [name_m]Pollux[/name_m] looks more like a brand, a weird body part of an illness than a name to me
[name_f]Ciel[/name_f] [name_m]Prosper[/name_m] [name_m]Ivan[/name_m] - nice names but the flow is bit choppy
[name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] [name_u]Nico[/name_u] [name_m]Demetri[/name_m] - I’d prefer this as [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] [name_m]Demetri[/name_m] [name_u]Nico[/name_u]
Lovino [name_m]Garrison[/name_m] [name_u]Blaize[/name_u] - neither is my style and Lovino does feel quite different, a lot more romantic - than the rest of the combo
[name_m]Perseus[/name_m] [name_m]Romano[/name_m] [name_u]Seth[/name_u] - [name_u]Seth[/name_u] is very out of place here
[name_m]Scipio[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Klaus[/name_m] - I love [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], [name_m]Scipio[/name_m] is okay but [name_m]Klaus[/name_m], to me, is just so old and unattractive

[name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f] - not a bad name, a bit heavy for me but still nice
[name_f]Sunniva[/name_f] - not my style but a lovely, sunny name
[name_f]Drucilla[/name_f] - this could work well in one of your combos, though it feels a bit heavy as a first name; still I think [name_f]Drucilla[/name_f] Arsinoë [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] would fit in better with your other girls than [name_f]Erika[/name_f]
Polyxena - looks very much like a sci-fi game character
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - love this one
Runa - not for me but a nice name

[name_u]Daryl[/name_u] - not my style but not bad
Farid - as above
[name_m]Ajax[/name_m] - makes me think of the football club [name_m]Ajax[/name_m] [name_m]Amsterdam[/name_m]
[name_m]Achilles[/name_m] - heel; is all I think

I agree with you about that. It would look a bit nicer. I used to have it like that. Then I got tired of having the choose which names made it on there so I tried to optimise space. I may go back to spacing it again.

I love the sound of [name_u]Ellington[/name_u] name [name_u]Reed[/name_u], but in regards to [name_u]Ellington[/name_u] not fitting with [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] I very much prefer unisex name frilly middle

Thanks for your input (:
