I love a lot of ASIAN girl's names like:
Mei Ling (Cantonese and means very beautiful)
I love Japanese girl's names and several of the Korean ones are nice like
Siu Mi. Sometimes I think their Korean names are better than the English names they give themselves |

You like the stuck-up aristocratic type, eh? 
I have students with those English nicknames because of what locals call princess disease, which of course, is an ailment Korean men like to see. |

None of the Carolines or Elizabeths I've known have been stuck up. Okay, maybe one, but she was hot and French, so what would you expect?
I'd say I like the names mostly because of how they sound. |

I like the name Olga Margaret. But every guy I've ever gone out with has said, "No, no, and more no." They seem to think that it can only mean one thing: GIANT RUSSIAN WOMAN. I think it's cute, reminds me of that pixie little Romanian gymnast from a long time ago.
I also like the names Shannon, Madeleine, Morgan, Maren, and Irina. When I lived in Switzerland, I worked in the afternoons as a nanny for a norwegian girl named Gunnhild. It's a Norse name that means "battle maiden." And damn, was she ever fierce. I've never met a more independent, strong-willed little girl in my life. I think girl names should be both feminine and strong, not cheap and trendy.
If I were black, I'd name my daughter Chianti. There's nothing better than a late evening candlelight dinner with a bottle of chianti at a fine italian restaurant. |

I knew a family that named all their pets after wines. The dogs I remember were Chardonnay and Chablis, and the cat was Wino. |
