My favorite names
2023-08-27
Names are such an interesting concept. Using words to address people. When we say a name, we really only think of the person that we're referring to, but the name itself has so much meaning. The intent between those who chose it, the massive backlog of those who had carried that name before, the etymology and actual meaning of the name, there's just so much behind it.
Anyways, with that said; these names are nice.
- Abigail - Not in this name, but in most names ending with il or el, that part means god.
- Ada - The name was honored by the first programmer.
- Ariadne - Thee, thee, O sister, wherever amidst the starry heavens thou shinest, I call to aid for a cause like to thine own
- Andrei - Andrew is nice as well.
- Arwin - All this name seems to be known for is LOTR, but it's a great name on its own. Arwyn is another nice spelling of it.
- Eric - It looks a bit ugly in my opinion, but I love the way it sounds.
- Evelyn
- Erza - I originally meant to write Ezra, but I think I prefer Erza.
- Gwendolyn
- Heva - It's a variant spelling of Eve.
- Kyle - One of my role models is Kyle MacLachlan.
- Leah
- Marlowe
- Millicent - It sounds so tiny. I suppose that makes sense
(pardon the pun) considering it sounds like it'd mean a thousandth of a cent(it doesn't, it comes from Melisende) . - Mikhail - Russian form of Michael. Isn't the /x/ sound nice?
- Reinn - I prefer this name as an alternate spelling of Rain
- Ronnette - One of the few names that doesn't sound pretentious with -ette.
- Stella - Its meaning of star is pretty obvious, but farther back it comes from the proto-indo-european word for ember
(according to this book) . - Slyvia
- Tahira - It's the feminine version of Tahir, but I don't think that name has the same ring.
- Wyatt
- Yishmael - It's a slightly different form of Ishmael.
