I am not really leting one perons negative associations stop me from using a name more like seeing if a majority of people have the same thoughts on names. But this has showed me which names i carr about more than others. You have helped it has been hard trying to narrow this list down. It is very appreciated thank you.
Thank you for your opinions i think i like [name_f]Annabeth[/name_f] more than [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] however i think [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] was a compromise. Thank you for your help.
[name_f]Bernadette[/name_f]: It makes me thing clunky but still elegant–a sensible person, but she enjoys pretty things and sophisticated events. She’s intelligent and maybe a bit quirky.
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]: fun-loving, geeky, well-read and well-educated. Loves playing video games, especially Minecraft. Prefers nicknames to her full name.
[name_f]Alexandria[/name_f]: blonde, skinny, loves reading, science, kids, and horses. Works hard. Very smart
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]: small, with long, curly, light brown hair and big eyes. Friendly.
[name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f]: This makes me think of [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] [name_m]Fairchild[/name_m] from TMI. So, red-haired and willowy, an artist, stubborn, strong. A warrior who will do anything to protect the people she loves.
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]: silly, loves boys. [name_m]Brown[/name_m] hair and big brown eyes. Tall. Loves fancy clothes. Fond of wealth and privileges afforded by it. A good person at heart, but you might not see it immediately.
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]: speaks [name_m]French[/name_m] almost fluently. Straight, light brown hair that reaches past her waist. Petite. Incredibly intelligent.
[name_f]Bernadette[/name_f]: [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f] Peters or Cha Cha from “Grease”
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]: “Smile a [name_m]Little[/name_m] Smile for Me” by The Flying Machine, or the herb

[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]: Someone I went to school with, though she spelled it “[name_u]Vivian[/name_u]”
[name_f]Bernadette[/name_f] - I don’t know why but it makes me think of [name_f]Beretta[/name_f].
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] - Makes me think of the herb. I’d picture [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] as a very sweet person.
[name_f]Alexandria[/name_f] - I like this best of all [name_u]Alex[/name_u] names but, on the other hand, bad associations. Someone condescending and annoying who thinks she is very pretty.
[name_f]Thea[/name_f] - Makes me think of my character. I’d picture a very confident, smart and sexy woman.
[name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] - Makes me think of a person who know. A sweet girl who had her child young.

[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] - [name_u]Vivien[/name_u] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u].
[name_f]Bernadette[/name_f]: the colour red. A spunky little girl. a girl who will do her own thing no matter what other people think. She marhces to her own drum.
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]: I think of a warm and dry sunny day with an elegant garden. Perhaps a little girl chasing butterfilies in an English style garden.
[name_f]Alexandria[/name_f]: sandstone, dry weather. An earthy little girl playing in the sand on a hot dry day.
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]: I think of a lush green [name_m]Forrest[/name_m]. A little girl playing in the forest, splashing in puddles. This little girl loves all thing nature.
[name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f]: pink or red. A girly girl. A girl who is very lady like and polite, she is into dance and piano, and always wears a dress.
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]: another lady like name, is see pale purple, a girl picking lily of the valley (or similar blossoms) for someone special, tea parties, & dress up. This little girl is quiet.
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]: I have trouble with this name. [name_f]Spring[/name_f] time in [name_f]France[/name_f]. [name_f]Pink[/name_f] tulips on the table, crossionts and tea, a little girl in a fancy dress in a fancy restaurant having brunch with her mother.
