What do you think of my current favorite names?

Question

I like uncommon but established names, and I'm especially attracted to Greek and Roman names. I'm guessing that a lot of these names won't be to some of your tastes, but if you find something wrong with them, I'm curious to know what it is. Also, I'd appreciate it if no one offered alternative suggestions along the lines of "Isabella," "Abigail," and "Ashlyn" (popular and trendy names are so not my thing). That said, I really appreciate your opinions. :)

These are the names that I like from your list...

Linnea (a family name), Lyra, Phoebe. Rowan (though I like it better as a boys names) Violet, Isla (that's a family name), Karina, Eliana, Emmeline, Cicily and Bridget.  Theodore, Phineas (though not the nickname Finny) Morgan, Miles, Micah, Liam (family name) Callum (another family name) and Blaise!

I really found your names interesting! :)

Boy:  Blaise or Raphael

Girl:  Willow, Violet, and Cassia

Answer 15

Answer 16

I like Miles, Willow, and Lyra.

Nadia can be pronounced "nah-DJA" or "nah-DEE-a"

Which were you thinking?

Answer 17

all of those are very very long names...think of this tiny kid with their tiny little hands cramping in Kindergarten because it takes them 43 minutes just to write their name on their paper!!!

Answer 18

Helena Rowan and Liam Kale

:D

Answer 19

Those are some great names! Its good to see someone wanting a name other than the popular/common ones.

Like in my family,my uncle,his son,and then his son,are all named David :/

Answer 20

Blaise is my favorite in the boy's list of names and I like Cecily, Emmeline and Nadia as favorite girl's names.   I always loved Lavinia and Willow, too.  You have some lovely combinations, as well.  I really like Linnea Juliet and Blaise Augustus.

Quentin

Raphael "Raf" or "Rafi"

Theodore

I don't really care for.

But all the other names are beautiful! :D

Answer 25

they are adorable names

Answer 26

This is a thoughtful list.  You have lots of really nice names on here, and its refreshing to see they aren't the trendy or made up ones. You combos are good too.  I don't personally prefer any one over the other except Quentin has always been a favorite of mine (could be called Q for a nic name.)  Also  Aemilia could be a little problematic for spelling.  Nice list!

Answer 27

for the boys i really like elliot and jude. for the girls rowan, eliana and aemilia.

Answer 28

Not my favorites but hey, at least you have a unique taste in names!

Answer 29

I think its okey! they're nice!

Answer 30

I like Liam and Theodore the best out of your boy names and Juliet and Violet the best for the girl names.

I also like the names Charlotte, Elizabeth and Juliana which are similar to your names listed already :)

Answer 31

I have your exact same taste- uncommon but established. I also love Greek names! I think a really cute girls name could be Aphrodite (goddess of love), although I don't think no one is ever named that. I think this it's cute. I was going to pick the ones out of the list I like, but I like almost all of them!
