Seriously, when I have a daughter, I'm 100% naming her Elena
Does this name have any special linguistic properties?

I dont know but I also like it a lot. I like most names with l or r like alice or katerina
Eva is the best female name.
Anya and Alexandra are also god tier names. I've never seen an Anya that wasn't at least 8/10
I like Margaret.
Your son will be gay
Margaret is literally grandma name
Those are good tranny names
How do names acquire character? Is it merely in the sound and appearance, or something more to that? Shakespeare used the most beautiful names, for example. Is this due to the name-properties themselves, or partially because we associate them with such beautiful writing like Shakespeares? Can names change their essence over time? Could today's beautiful name become an ugly one tomorrow?
Why is Gertrude an "old" person name? Only because old people have it, or became associated with it? Or is it something intrinsic to the name itself?
I find this stuff really interesting. Help me, bros
A traditional Ukrainian name is a tranny name?
Serious poster here.
Elena means "the greek". Which is cool and Yea Forums approved.
But you should call her "Anonine".
Tranny name now, kiddo
>Alexandra
>Ukrainian
Lmao
Yep, or a prostitute or a tranny prostitute
yeah maybe that way she wouldnt turn out to be dirty degenerate whore
For me, it's:
>Audrey
>Sophia
>Monica
>Daphne
Knew an anya and she was ugly as fuck. She had a MASSIVE schnoz that made her voice nasallyo
Audrey and Daphne are best in thread so far
Esther
I prefer Estella
Kalliope
Ariadne
Arrietty
Eleuthera
Pieta
Isa
Eunike
The Isle of Lesbos
>Kalliope
sounds like the homoerotic green-haired NPC from some generic JRPG
>Ariadne
nice
>Arrietty
terrible. anglo/hick tier.
>Eleuthera
sounds like a veneral disease
>Pieta
sounds like the slang word for dick in some romance tongue
>Isa
minimalist but without personality
>Eunike
sounds like your polish/german uncle's real name before being anglicized into Henry or something
Just remember that when she gets to middle-school all the kids will start calling her Enema.
Ukrainians are all used hookers or trannies anyways
>like the names elise and naomi
>both jew names
Ebba is my favorite female name
Kalliope is the muse of epic poetry
Arrietty I believe is made up. Nice Studio Ghibli film
Isa is minimalist for Isabel
Eunike is on earth of the Nereids. Greek mythology
On earth=one of
yeah that's their meaning alright, but I was merely describing my visceral reactions to them. nothing personnel kid
>teleports behind you
>stabs
No offense taken
Kalliope and Eleuthera are terrible. Apply yourself.
I'm naming mine Penelope. Rolls off the tongue well, can call her Penny for short, or Sweet Pea for endearment. I like Persephone as well, beautiful name, and the mythical version brings life with her wherever she goes, which is a beautiful concept
She’ll get blacked before you know it
For me
>Giulia
>Natalia
>Juliette
>Alejandra
>Sofía/Sophia
>Kassandra
>Deni
Forma me, Its Sophia
Perhaps you're pronouncing it wrong.
Kal-ee-oh-pee
El-ee-u-þair-a
They're beautiful names
>obsessed with black dicks
you're gay, son
Cassandra > Kassandra. As a rule, names with a C look better than Ks. Like Catherine.
Nope. Still ugly.
>Persephone
>brings life
Is this irony?
Also lovey DCD song attached to it
youtube.com
Oh but "C" is pronounced "ch"
Apply yourself
No, when she emerges in Spring, she brings the world back to life
Chloe is quite nice.
Danielle is great for being a less popular feminine version of a vastly more popular male name.
Chloe is awful. I've known like 15 chloes.
By making her momma happy
Both are good pornstar names
Anna and Katie for me.
I like Helen because my name is Helen, named after Helen of Troy that is.
Nice
I have met a lot of Elenas and none of them I would call a nice person. I would name my daughter Tamara or Kateryna.
Sound like nigress names
These names are popular in Slavic countries.
I'll make your momma happy
I know a Tamar and an Ekatarina
Muh elephantiasis
You mad jelly of these bigass balls, sonny? U mad brah? U irate? Yeah, you mad
Armine
The Armenia version of Harmony
>all these high price escort names
Just name your kid Tatyanna and let her be a mockery for life.
Astoria or Dolores.
Camille (not kuh-MEEL)
If I had a daughter I would name her Vivian.
Anyone...
Victoria is a stacy tier name
Every Victoria I've met has been a stuck-up bitch.

>murican naming traditions
So fucking trashy. Picking names from other cultures is bad. Picking names from popular culture is worse. But making names up is even worse.
no
Idk, but Forgetting Elena by Edmund White is an excellent a book and a favorite of Nabokov's
What do you expect from a half-Jewish/half-negro culture?
Olesya
Ioanna>>>Elena
for me, it's Agatha
Aggy rehabilitates it somewhat for me
Chloe is very nice, user
>Tamara
pls lord no
>Kateryna
I can understand this if you're Slavic or something, but to the rest of the world it looks trashy
All names are made up and influenced from other (popular) cultures...
For me, it's Shamela
It's Sophia
Anya, Eva, Sophia, Alice are special to me.
If you aren't naming your daughter Erika you aren't white
My favorite girl name is Boogloshovaska.
Dunno
Problem is as a brit i feel like people will associate it with thatcher
What do you guys think of the name Elias?
I find it interesting too but dont have anything to contribute sorry
>Elena
ah, man of culture
Light of my life, fire of my loins
What is it about Greek names, especially female, that makes them so good?

Felicity
Eilis
Violette
Cecilia

Nothing short of Clitemnestra would do (Clitty, for daddy).

What are some Anglo/Christian traditional names that are also uncommon or interesting?
u sound liek a fag
I wish I had a child so I could beat the shit out of it.
Georgina is CUTE
i'm naming my daughter sara
I have had a thing for Vasilisa since I was very little and saw Vasilisa The Beautiful, all I remember from it is the name, really stuck with me.
What is wrong with you people? Most of these names are trying si hard, such bad taste.
>Mary
Today it's an uncommon name. And it's a beautiful and simple name.
Honourable mention to my dead grandmother named Gvozdenka/Гвoздeнкa, it's a Serbian name. A female version of the name Gvozden, derived from the word for iron, gvožđe/гвoжђe. My grandmothers name literally translated into English would be Ironwoman. It's very rare nowadays, such names were kind of frequent up to about one hundred years ago; giving your daughter such a tough name would ensure she survives the winter. It's a stereotypical grandma name.
>Today it's an uncommon name
There are 6 Marys in the building I work at, about 100 people in the building, my neighbor is a Mary, I have regular contact with at least 3 other Marys, how is that an uncommon name?
Ok, to be fair a few of them are Maryannes, but they all go by Mary.
Mилицa
So your made up story proves nobody is named Mary - GENIUS
Never understood anglos. Why would a female name end with a consonant?
^brainlet post
Your meme arrow looks broken.
Not at all made up, Mary is a very common name in these parts.
Any name that starts with an E and has 3 syllables is beautiful for a woman. But this might be because I'm still in love with an Emily
Claire
What about names for males?
Damn, what a sad boy.
Classics:
>Peter
>John
I also like:
>Maximillian
But people tell me it's megalomaniac, and it kind of is. I like it though.
Héloïse
Vos vieux prénoms font pas le poids
Faust
Layla is such a gorgeous name, it falls off the tongue so easily. Why'd it have to be Arabic?
Aoife is a nice name
Best in thread
I like Lydia and Lauren also
Helena is better.
I personally like Acácia
I prefer short names like Olga, Eva, Ilha, Isla, Abe, Maria, Maitê
But i also like Paraguaçú(u), Orlando, Gabriel(a)
I also like names that comes with diacritics (they're present in my mother thong)
We named our daughter Cellardoor. It's the most beautiful word, so it's the most beautiful name.
also Francisco, Jesuíta, Eloá, Arcádio
Biblical names are nice, not because they're biblical, just because they're classic in my country
also Juno, Júlia, Agnes, Clarice, Flor, Marcelo, Mariano, Teresa, Zélia
Heloísa is a great name (translation to my language)

Men don't need pretty names, they need functional names that don't outcast him or make him look ridiculous.
>On a side note, names like "Brodie" are stupid and shortsighted. What kind of 85 y/o man is called "Brody"? He'd have to be called Broderick to save the shame of having a quintessentially childish name. Parents who name their children with 'kiddy' names should have serious reflections on whether that name would still be appropriate for their child once it is an old man/woman.

ancient greek names are american now retard?
More like Helena you nigger
I like Carmen, naming my daughter Carmen
If you aren't Russian this name literally means nothing for you.
Ragnhild and Siv are queen tier names.
yes, its greek
If I ever had a daughter I would name her Minea from Waltari’s the Egyptian. Kino character, kino book, kino name.
i believe he means its an american tradition to arbitrarily pick random names from (in this case) greek myths. ancient greek tradition would be to name the kid after some circumstance of her birth
*hits pipe*
Most names become popular for a certain amount of time. Beautifully-sounding or not these names become 'of an era': Gertrude, Aethelraed, Valerie etc. I think some names are just more future-proof than others. Oliver is always popular in England and still doesn't sound outdated.
A quick look at a generic "most popular baby names 2019" article will give you an insight into a lot of names that won't stand the test of time and will become "old-sounding" in 60 years.
Dax, Xavier, Axel, Briar, Campbell, Finley, Journey, Justice, Laken, Revel, Royal, and Story
a lot of these names sound stupid right now to me though.
Fucking Story? Jesus.
To wrap up my pointless and surface-level post, when it comes to names: VOWELS GOOD; GERTRUDE BAD
it's entirely cultural. my aunt had a baby gertrude and these days i see it as a little girl name.
& the american accent makes it sound a lot worse
Eva and Beaver doesn't even make sense desu ne wa ching chong
Nothing beats Biblical names. The theophory is especially cool.
>Rachel
>Gabriel
>Ramiel
>Samuel
Natasha
Lily
Tamara
Eva
These sound the most beautiful to me.
Anna, Maria, Teresa, Eleonora, Lucrezia, Artemisia
Tyrone
Not till the Brits give County Tyrone back.
