Redcalf. I get the appeal to using a surname but this is kind of a lot.
Lily-James, a Harry Potter fan.
Snit. Apparently of Eritrean origin, but maybe a bit of a headache in Alberta. (Also remember The Zone in the 90s, that TV screen covered in purple gum hanging out with PJ Fresh Phil?! SNIT!!! Ah, good times.)
Vannity. Not only have we named you after a human vice, we’re gonna make you spell it your whole life. We love you.
Kaydance. A caveman trying to spell Cadence.
Simplicia, your name has a disambiguation page. Are you named after the defunct French automobile manufacturer, the moth genus or the grass?
Strong mythical showing on the girls side too. Not that I necessarily think these are BAD names, it’s just fun to round them up. Actually ya know what… because it is easily nicknamed, Cassiopeia is pretty sweet.
Andromeda
Artemis
Atlantis
Avalon
Cassiopeia
Persephone
To be honest there were no total breakaway winners for the girls this year, which is probably for the best. So I guess I’ll choose Brheylyn because it checks multiple horrible boxes for me, such as,
– yly
– unnecessary h
– the sound BRAY evokes donkeys and paired with lyn; I just don’t love it
– overall the spelling looks like a belch
Ahh. Until next year ♡
