Win

Also, 5 people named their children tequila last year. That's um, strange..


Thoughts? New or strange names you've heard before?

Oh, Novalee reminds me of Where the Heart Is; I also like the name Americus from that movie, but I don't think I'd ever use it.
Amabel and Elspeth are pretty. They sound really delicate and feminine. I like Newlyn, but I think more on a girl?

I've heard a lot of these :)

Novalie I've just seen around the boards, its kinda pretty though NMS

Amabel is a old, old vintage ladies name. I really like it <3

Elspeth is the scottish version of Elizabeth. I also really like it <3

Finola I saw on a Nameberry list. Its Irish I remember.. only okay to me though. I love Fin on a boy, and Nola as a name just doesn't appeal to me personally :( Its alright, just not my style <3

Cashlie - I don't love it, sorry! I do love Cash / Cassius (cash-us) on a boy though! :)

Roxybelle - would be a very pretty nick name. Roxanne Isabel "Roxybelle"?

Win - its nice, I love it on a girl as a nick name for Winona, Winter, Winslet, etc. Though Winter could also be used on a boy, nick name Win :)

Styles - I've known a few people with this surname, wouldn't surprise me to see it on babies though.

Arlen - I've known for a while. No idea when I first heard it, but just oddly familiar :)

Newlyn - not my style, sorry!!

Brenner - Almost like Brennan but with a stylish -er ending. Kinda nice!

Draylin - I'm not a fan, sorry! I kinda like Daylin, but for whatever reason I personally don't love the R in there :/

Brecken is a phonetic version of the Irish Breccan. I am a fan of Breccan, though its sort of a harsh name with all the ck sound in it. I love the idea of nick name Brec! <3

Novalie-I kind of prefer just Nova myself, though it is a radio station where I live :3
Amabel- Looove it!!
Elspeth- I also love this one :)
Finola nn Fin or Nola- I knew a girl with this name, but she went by Heidi :/ Though, I do love Finn on a girl as a little bit of a GP.
Cashlie- Not my style
Roxybelle- Again not my style
Milanta- Ditto to the two above, lol. It sounds kind of like a city name?

Win- I love this as a nickname for Winifred because of the book Tuck Everlasting, where the main character's name is Winnie :)
Styles- Reminds me of One Direction, haha
Arlen- I don't mind this one that much
Newlyn- Not my style
Brenner- Isn't as bad as the others. I kind of like it, though it is a bit too trendy for my taste :)
Draylin- Not my style
Brecken- I don't mind this one either. I think it's the last name of one of my friends though, so that ruins the appeal!

My favourite of the bunch would have to be Amabel :wub:
