what is your favorite girl's name?
I love the names: Michelle, Mellissa, jennifer and recently, I saw the name "Regina". That is a nice feminine name, I think it refers to the Queen of England. |

"Regina" is just Latin for queen. It's the name of a city in the Canadian prairies, but people who've never heard it before find it quite shocking.
Vanilla Ice was being interviewed by .Nardwar the Human Serviette, and delicately pronounced it "Regg-Gee-Na" when in fact it rhymes nicely with ... well... you know.
The other names you listed seemed to be quite popular in the early nineties, and so I expect them to be this generation's Barbara, Carol and Karen... that is, by the time a kid grows up, they will seem rather out of date.
I like names that are so far out of fashion that they might just come in again, like Hazel, Eve, Lily, etc. |

I'd feel very sorry for any schoolgirl called Regina.
I really like Meadhbh, Niamh, Heather, Meadhbh, Morag, Morna and Ros from around my friends and family; Rebecca, Rachel and Mary from the Bible; and Celeste for my own reasons. |

My favorite is Amy.
Every girl that I know called Amy has always been cute and sophisticated. |

Most women named Michelle I've ever met have indeed been beautiful. It could be the French heritage.

 Complicated is the nicest word I'd say! I recall four girls named "Amy" and each were peachy nice but with a broody pouting side hiding deep-seeded personal issues. Head cases the lot of them. But I won't generalize from such a small sample from a small part of Canada. Other girls named Amy may not be passively masking anger with simple smiles. |

Gosh!
Although all girls named Amy I have known have been Australian.
I went out with a girl called Rachel. Only the one time. As it turns out, her personality was very similar to what her name means in Hebrew.....'Sheep'. She liked to follow others blindly and didn't have an original though in her body! |

Once in love with Amy... Always in love with Amy, or so the song goes. In my experience, that's not the case.

Amy comes from the French word "aimee" (there should be an "accent aigue" over the first e) meaning "Beloved." In that sense, it's a terrific name.
I'm not Australian, I'm much more sunny than pouty, but I'll cop to being cute and sophisticated if you insist. I'll wouldn't call myself sl utty-- I like to use the term "generous." 
If you REALLY want to know what people are like based on their names, check out this site:

Here's what it has to say about Amy:
Amy - Devious, Likes being on top, never stays the night - Not to be trusted. Likes any man not wearing trousers |

My name's Amy! I don't know whether to be  or  or  or.... My mother wanted to name me "Brandy", but my father said it "wasn't a Christian name".  So 10 years later, she named our now dearly departed Airedale "Brandy". Mother doesn't drink, either...
One of my weirdest experiences ever was when I was hospitalized for kidney stones (blocked ureter- so not fun), and I woke-up from my morphine-induced slumber to a priest sitting next to my bed singing that 70's song:
Amy- what you gonna do
I think I could stay with you
For awhile
maybe longer if I do |

| I knew some girls named Fanny. I think in the 1800's it was a popular girl's name, however I doubt that you would ever meet a women named Fanny in the U.K. |

That reminds me of another song, by Damien Rice:
"Amie, come sit on my wall,
And read me the story of O.
Tell it like you still believe
That the end of the century
Is a change for you and for me." |

Names are amusing. My brother used to get lots of interesting looks on business trips to England. "Hello, I'm Randy."
>Kenneth - very, very...anything you want him to be.
Not sure what this means.
I've met lots of pleasant Amys. Most Jennifers I've met had attitudes. Every Jenny I've known was plain and uninteresting. Every Sarah I've known was a bird-brain. Margarets are snobs; Pegs are worse. Every Brenda I've known was crazy. Jeans are tomboys. Most Lynns I've known were kind and pleasant. Almost every Kate I've known had big cleavage! There are so many, many Michelles that they can mean anything.
Some of the name definitions are a little obvious. Whether girls call themselves Christina, Chris, Chrissy, or Tina says something about their personalities, I think. Andys are usually friendly, down to earth guys.. and Andrews are often pompous. People who insist on their full names usually are pretentious. (I prefer Ken.. besides, my Korean students don't pronounce Kenneth well.)
Ken:> |

Dude...that is so true it is almost scary! Except one Sarah. She was very down to Earth.
I am sure there are many exceptions to this, but in my own personal experience I have found this to be true.
