Entry tags:*meme, character: angela moon, character: bridgette travers, character: fatima cornfoot, character: fred weasley, character: james potter, character: llewellyn wynne, character: morag macdougal, character: parvati patil, character: rhodri cadwallader, character: sophie capper, character: ted tonks, me



James: This elegant classic is a perennial favorite with a long and regal history. James is a name that always seems age-appropriate, from sweet baby Jamie, to teen rebel Jimmy Dean, to full-grown King James.

Ted: A leftover from the 1950s, Ted is worth another look. The solid one-syllable name is highly versatile: Teddy is an adorable little baby bear, but grown-up Ted has the gravitas and polish of a news anchor or media mogul.

Fred: Fred is the kind of old-fashioned name that comes with a friendly wink, and younger actors such as Fred Savage and Freddie Highmore are giving it a fresh feel for the 21st century.

Morag: Not there :(

Parvati: Parvati is the alluring name of a Hindu goddess, and a fetching choice for an Indian girl.

Angela: A good-natured name, Angela now seems rather retro compared with the trendier Angelicas and Angelinas.

Rhodri: not there :(

Bridgette: Bridgette is a variation of Bridget. Bridget -
Say the name Bridget, and you immediately picture a redheaded girl in a plaid parochial school uniform. The models Bridget Hall and Bridget Moynahan have recently given the name a lustrous new sheen.

Sophie: Parents looking for a comfy, old-fashioned name have been flocking to Sophie recently, which is as warm and inviting as the smell of homemade banana bread.

Fatima: A popular name for Muslim families, Fatima represents one of the four perfect women in the Koran. Hope your little girl can live up to those high standards!

Llewellyn: The double "l" does have a style all its own, but this name is too unwieldy to make a real go of it. And though it looks masculine on paper, it sounds to the ear like LuEllen.

Bronte: The family name of authors Emily, Anne, and Charlotte Brontë, this is an upper-crust name for a girl who always has her nose buried in a novel. Fans of romantic movies will remember it as the name of Andie Macdowell's character in Green Card.

I have to ask! How do you pronounce your name? Is it Bron-tay like the authors or Bron-tee like the suburb?!

Tee like the suburb. I know someone called Bronte pronounced like Brontay though.

You have finally ended the Becca and Niyki "how do we pronounce Bronte's name" debate. Thank you! It was getting pretty epic, but unfortunately, we settled for the Brontay pronunciation. So if you ever meet us, we're sorry in advance.

No problem, I answer to either, really, because when the Brontay went to my school the teachers always called us the wrong ones so I'm used to it.

Well, if it helps, most people can't seem to understand that "Niyki" is pronounced like "Nikki". They seem to go for "Nigh-icky" which doesn't amuse me so much.

(and awwwwwwwwwwww LITTLE MO!)
