Monster High names are a surprisingly stylish and wearable bunch. From Twyla to Toralei, Venus to Blue, here are some frightfully delightful possibilities.
Clare's insight:
These names are monstrously brilliant! And I do wonder about the question "Did the dolls you played with as a child inform the names you prefer as an adult?"

Darnit, this is when I wish I had a time machine: I'd travel into the future and find out the future of names. Fingers crossed for Egbert and Osric. And Newt.

Clare's insight:
Good suggestions as always, and I really like this bit of perspective:
"...if you took a national survey you might find tons of people who think it’s weird to name him something you don’t call him—but they will think it only for a moment, and after that it will leave their minds because it doesn’t really matter to them what someone else names a baby."

Stel, je bent NSB’er en je wilt je kind vernoemen naar Hitler, maar Adolf of Adolfina durf je niet aan. Dan kun je doen zoals een echtpaar in het Brabantse Mierlo.

Certainly inauspicious initials, but individually rather lovely names. Leopoldina does have a certain appeal.

You think some of today's baby names are out there? Check out the 20 least popular baby names in American history!
Clare's insight:
For your delectation: Dimple, Flem, Icy, Lemon, Sister, Wash, Tiny, Orange, Buelah, Son, Leafy, Toy, Wava, Squire, Classie, Mayo, Pinkey, Lawyer, Pearly, and Commodore. Can you see any of these making a false comeback? Hmm, I'd say maybe Squire and Commodore, distinguished titles both.

"The older generation still remembers the names and they do not seem strange to them. For example , the ending -pi in the Chuvash women's names goes back to the common Turkic word "bike" - 'lady'..."
Clare's insight:
New (to me) language alert! According to good old Wikipedia, Chuvash "is a Turkic language spoken in central Russia, primarily in the Chuvash Republic and adjacent areas. It is the only surviving member of the Oghur branch of Turkic languages." Every day's a schoolday.
