Most of the names I selected are either beautiful, vintage classics or names I consider “modern classics”. These are definitely my style of names. I’ll also list the names I don’t care for at all. Any others just aren’t really my style.
Names I just cannot like (and the reasons):
[name]Bevin[/name]-- It has a nice meaning, and I like it in theory, but it sounds and looks like [name]Kevin[/name]. It’s just not an attractive name to me.
[name]Brooke[/name]-- I think of all the horrible girls in high school with this name. I would really love to meet a pleasant [name]Brooke[/name], but until I do the name is tainted.
[name]Camdyn[/name]-- This is quite the trendy name, and it looks really out of place with most of the other names on your list.
[name]Cheyenne[/name]-- I don’t feel like this name works on anyone. It’s very much perceived as a “white trash” name in my region.
[name]Desiree[/name]-- I’ve known two Desirees and both left much to be desired. This has always felt very stripper-y to me.
[name]Penelope[/name]-- While I love [name]Penny[/name], [name]Penelope[/name] just reminds me of penile.
[name]Phoebe[/name]-- I feel ridiculous when I say this name out loud. It’s just very silly sounding to me.
[name]Scarlett[/name]-- Perhaps one of my least favorite names, only heightened by the fact that everyone else seems to love it. I really dislike its associations (The [name]Scarlet[/name] Letter, [name]Scarlet[/name] Fever, and especially [name]Scarlett[/name] O’hara)
[name]Veronica[/name]-- This name sounds really harsh to me. I dislike the way it feels when I say it. Also I really dislike the nn [name]Ronnie[/name].
My favourite from your list are: [name]Adelaide[/name] ([name]Addie[/name]), [name]Beatrice[/name], [name]Celeste[/name], [name]Clara[/name], [name]Clementine[/name], [name]Cleo[/name], [name]Cordelia[/name], Desirée, [name]Evelyn[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name], [name]Giselle[/name], [name]Iris[/name], [name]Ivy[/name], [name]June[/name], [name]Lorelai[/name], [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Margot[/name], [name]Olive[/name], [name]Phoebe[/name], [name]Ramona[/name], [name]Violet[/name], [name]Vivienne[/name], [name]Wren[/name]. I think that sort of old but still sweet style is nice.
