I have a piece of paper that has a list of names my dad thought about giving me. Here's the list, along with comments I have--
Aimee/Amy (too popular a name)
Alicia (I like!)
Amalia (What's an Amalia??)
Amelia (It's... okay.)
Anita (Eh.... too old-lady-ish.)
Christiana, Christine (Hmmmmmm... no.)
Elena (NO.)
Francesca (I like! Sounds Italian.)
Hannah (Waaaaaay too plain.)
Elise, Ilise, Ilyse (What's up with these wacky spellings? I don't even like that name.)
Juliana, Julianne (I like! I like Juliana better than Julianne, though.)
Karen (NO. WAY.)
Linita (What? No! Sounds like some sort of washing machine soap!)
Lucette (Waaaaaay too 1800's.)
Nancy (No. Just... no.)
Natalie (Ehhhhhhh...)
Oriana (What?? Sounds like a whale constillation...)
Tanya (I like it, but it's really old sounding.)
Tiffany (I like! But it sounds really Asian.)
Viviana (Ohhhh no.)
And for names that Ch1k3n was almost named--
Abel (Reminds me of Cain and Abel...)
Allen (Well... this is a family name, so...)
Ariel (I think this was supposed to be on my side...)
Arthur (Can't stop imagining an aardvark.)
Christian (I've never liked the name.)
Daniel (It's okay... really popular name, though.)
Dominic (I like this one!)
Grant (I like this one, too!)
Jonathan (Ummmmmmm... it's okay, I guess?)
Mason (I like this one.)
Matthew (Too regular.)
Michael (It fits Ch1k3n... he looks like he could be a Michael.)
Nathaniel (Pretty close...)
Oliver (I like it, but it's so not Ch1k3n.)
Owen (NO WAY.)
Prentice (Haha! I like it! Sounds like 'apprentice.' Skandie, you should use this name in your books.)
Reuben (No. No. No.)
Terry/Terrence (Uh... yeah, no.)
Vincent (NO WAY.)
So, there you go, that's the end... and I will say goodbye for the night!
