Beautiful Names
 

In response to boxedIn's thread, and to help create a kinder, gentler OOT, here's a thread for you to post names you find really beautiful. You know, the kind that just roll off your tongue, or are pleasing to say, or get you a little fired up. Post yours here.

Some of mine:

Bianca - I always picture a Bianca as someone elegant yet sexy.

Holly and Molly - I'm not sure what it is, I just love the way they sound. Between this and my redhead thing it's obvious I need to find a good Irish girl.

Katherine and all its variants (Catherine with a C, Katie, Kate, etc.) - I just really like this name. As far as other traditional names I'm a fan of, I also like Elizabeth (and its variants), Emily, and Jennifer. And I like Michelle although I never see anyone with it anymore.

Laura, Julia - I think these are both really classic-sounding names and I've always associated them with classical beauty and strong, sharp personalities. The Julia thing may also have something to do with 1984.

Tara and Kara - I think these sound pretty (Though it doesn't hurt that all the ones I've known were pretty hot).

Jillian - Always liked this one though it may partially be because I knew an insanely hot girl in high school with this name. Smart, too. I also like Jill.

Okay, so I'm kind of easy when it comes to names, I suppose. What are your favorites?

I've always had a thing for the name Colleen. Apparently it's Gaelic for "girl".

Re: Beautiful Names
 

heather
catherine
aishwarya

Re: Beautiful Names
 

Jess, that's your beautiful name? Liz? Seriously?

Re: Beautiful Names
 

Torsten. Technically, I believe it's a Dutch man's name, but I first heard it for a British girl.

Scott

Re: Beautiful Names
 

Nath,

Bianca was the first name that popped into my head, good call.

I also like Sandra, and Chrissy.

Re: Beautiful Names
 

Any girl's name starting with a "V".
Veronica
Victoria
Vanessa
DUCY???

Re: Beautiful Names
 

Oooh, good call on Elise.

Vanessa is another good one. I also like Rachel but not as much as the ones I listed. Chrissy I do like as well but I never see it anymore. I'm also a fan on Lindsay and its variants, even though it was originally a guy's name. I guess I've just known a lot of cute ones.

Re: Beautiful Names
 

Rachel (wife's name)
Jennifer (first wife's name; do not tell current wife)
Angelina
Sophia

Re: Beautiful Names
 

A list of names my daughter(s) shall be called, in no particular order, provided I 1) find a wife and 2) don't get veto-ed.

* Elisabeth (possibly Elizabeth)
* Jennifer
* Charlotte
* Emily
* Kimberley
* Catherine

I like Elisabeth rather than Elizabeth because I don't like the nickname "Liz", but I really like "Beth".

I think they're all gorgeous names, and my heart nearly melts every time I hear them or meet one.

Re: Beautiful Names
 

I like the sound of Isabel.

Re: Beautiful Names
 

Sona

and for some reason i really like womens names that have Chris/Kris in them (im not a jesus freak)...

Christian, Kristine and the like...

Re: Beautiful Names
 

Obviously most judge names as being "ugly" or "pretty" based on who they have met with those names. That being said, I have never met an ugly Heather or Jessica.

Re: Beautiful Names
 

Jasmine
Nikita

Re: Beautiful Names
 

Opened the thread to say Vanessa.

Alisons (with one L) are invariably hot in my experience.

Re: Beautiful Names
 

Carla

Carm

Re: Beautiful Names
 

Nina

Re: Beautiful Names
 

If i ever have a daughter.....

Airy Elise Costello

Re: Beautiful Names
 

Elana/Allana/various other spellings.

Re: Beautiful Names
 

Thea.
Isabella Rossellini.

Re: Beautiful Names
 

Lisa, Laura. Simple, no hard consonants or grating vowels.
Teresa. Very fluid and sweet sounding to me.
Also always liked Nicole, but probably because I don't think I've ever met one who wasn't really beautiful.

Re: Beautiful Names
 

Margarita
Mariana

Do you pronounce these the same? The first one I'd say "eh-lon-ah" but the second "ah-lon-ah"

Re: Beautiful Names

I would pronounce them slightly differently, but not much. The whole "family" of names of this root are hot to me.

Except "Elaine". BO-RING.

Re: Beautiful Names
 

Sophia (or Sophie)
Grace

If i have two daughters, they will be named thusly. The wife will have to deal with it.

Melanie

The second one is how my name is pronounced; I think it's a lovely name. The long a is actually very sexual and much more appealing to men then the more nasal a of ah-lan-ah (lan rhyming with fan in this case; not really sure how to make that more phonetic).

It also rhymes with marijuana.

I like
Aubrey
Audrey
Brooke
Brielle
Elle
Adriana (long a, so adri - on - ah)

It doesn't matter since I intend to call my daughters Bunny and Coco.

Wait--your name is Allana?

Boing.

Ahem. In any event, yes like "lon" in the middle, not "lan", which you're right, is too nasal and sounds New Jerseyesque.

Re: Beautiful Names
 

The one name that's stood out to me as really sounding beautiful is Senay (pronounced shen-eye). It's Turkish and the only reason I know the name is from the movie "Dirty Pretty Things." It was Audrey Tautou's character in the movie. No idea what, if anything, Senay means.

Re: Beautiful Names
 

My favorite names tend to be girls I have dated. I doubt this is a coincidence.

Maria
Kaylie
Kelcey
Tara

Re: Beautiful Names
 

My middle name is Lana (pronounced like fluff's but without the first syllable) and I'm definitely going to name my daughter that.

Re: Beautiful Names
 

I have never heard of Aubrey - weird.

I also like Grace, a few posts above.
