For most of these names, I`ve received lots of feedback saying “That name will cause him/her to be made fun of! Please don’t do that do your kid! Your kid will hate you!” etc.
So what do you think?
You don’t need to explain them all, just a few and say why.
Thanks!
Adelaide – sounds like an old lady
Artemis – too Greek myth
Calliope – too out there
Eloise – too fictional/sounds like an old lady
Niamh – unless you live in Ireland, no one will ever pronounce this correctly
Rosalie – old lady
Sierra – can we say “tryndee”?
Ciaran – again, you must live in Ireland to use this one
Duncan – nerdy
Elias – old man
George – old man
Hugh – old man
Jasper – sounds like a pet’s name, too girly sounding
Milo – just an ugly name
Seamus – see previous comments about Ireland
I think there were more names on here that are good than bad. I think you have a great selection to choose from.
Good luck!
ETA:
I’m laughing at how many people compared Calliope to a cantaloupe. Calliope is pronounced ca-LIE-oh-pee. Seeing how maybe people mispronounce it, maybe you should take it off your list. Good luck with the name!
