Answer 1

Geeeezzzzz. . . . Whatever happened to normal names? Electra? That poor, poor girl!! And please don't name your child after an herb. . . .

Answer 2

Ten being best ...

Holden Cruz Bond
9 *** Holden is wonderful, and while I wouldn't use Cruz without some serious Spanish heritage, it's great here (since I'll just assume that is the case)

Basil Leander Bond
5 *** On its own, I'd adore Basil, but Basil Bond is just a bit B heavy for my taste. I don't care for alliterative names to begin with, but certain sounds -- like the B in this case -- tend to come across as even more comical than others, so I wouldn't do it. Leander is very nice, however! ;)

Trigger Josiah Bond
1 *** Unless he's a horse, not the way to go here. Enough said.

Maiken Emery Bond
1 *** I'm guessing from the spacing this and the rest are intended for girls? I can't say I care for "Maiken" ... basically a misspelling of the actual word "making?" Seems odd and quite insubstantial, not to mention quite comical with your last name. Sounds like she just made bail. LOL I have nothing against masculine names for girls, but much prefer Emery for a boy, given the trendiness of Em- names for girls in general (Emily, Emma, Emerson, etc.).

Elston Zona Bond
4 *** This could grow on me if a family name or in some other way significant (since it's a place name, possibly the town you grew up, for example). But if it's just some random name you thought you made up, I'm not into it. Zona is intriguing, although I've never found the meaning all that appealing (not a negative, but if meaning is a consideration for you, not a positive either).

Electra Glorianne Bond
5 *** Like Basil, I'd have rated this much higher if I actually liked the combo, in full. Electra is wonderful! I really don't care for Glorianne, however, unless it's very meaningful for you, personally. You might also like Allegra, by the way. ;)

Faruza Faye Bond
8 *** Not a spelling I'm familiar with, but I'm assuming this a form of Firuza/Fairuza? I quite like the name, though I'd assume the child was Iranian (just an obviously-ethnic choice, so something to consider), but I'd stick with the more familiar spellings. I don't care for the alliteration with the middle name Faye, for what it's worth, though I do like them separately.

Starlette Evangelyn Bond
1 *** I don't even remotely like this. I love Scarlett, if it's the sound you like, but "Starlette" just brings to mind a spoiled little brat being preened for the spotlight since birth by an overbearing stage mother. Not at all appealing ... and quite a bit of pressure on a child, don't you think? Evangeline is a gorgeous name, but the Evangelyn misspelling and mispronunciation is just completely unattractive to me. In other words, while I don't care for this particular combo at all, the very-similar Scarlett Evangeline I'd have rated a 10.

Hope that helps.

Edited to add: Regarding some previous comments, Basil is a fairly common name in the UK, but it should be said BAZ-ul (short A sound), not BAY-zul. ;) Electra is also a traditional name from Greek mythology. Hardly worthy of ridicule. It's one thing to dislike obviously created names, and quite another to toss the whole lot in -- valid names and all -- and call them horrible.

Answer 3

I know you probably worked long and hard coming up with these names but some of these are just off the wall and I would never name another human being some of these names.


Holden Cruz Bond ----- OK but not favorite
Basil Leander Bond ------- best out of the boys names
Trigger Josiah Bond -- My Gawd ! You would name your child after a horse? The whole name is terrible , sorry.

Maiken Emery Bond --Makin Emery board --that's what this name sounds like

Elston Zona Bond - Are these really names?
Electra Glorianne Bond ---What? Why?
Faruza Faye Bond --UCK!
Starlette Evangelyn Bond ---- porn queen wanna be

Answer 4

Holden is very nice, as for Trigger and Basil...One is a horse's name the other is an herb (spice).
What about Holden Josiah? They sound good together.

As for your choices in girls names, all I can say is I sincerely hope you have a boy. Sorry... There was not one single name listed there in either the first or middle names that I would, in good conscience, bestow upon a baby girl.

Perhaps you can get some good help thru this web site:

I am currently expecting and needed help with baby names and there are Baby Name Advisors in the forum there that can offer some help. It's free.....
Best of Luck

Answer 5

If you are greek, how about Alethea?

I'm going on record as hating every last name. I hate these two the least: Holden & Maiken.

Answer 6

A friend of mine is named Basil. He is one of the most genuine people to ever come in contact with. That gets my male vote. Maiken Emery for the girl.

Answer 7

Does none count??? Those are some FUNKY names. You do know that Trigger was the name of a horse. Basil is a flavoring. In all honesty I think you are trying to find too "hip" of a name. Who am I to say, my first born was named Eden which isn't exactly normal. I don't have one that I even remotely like on your list but I am gonna let you know something! Whatever you decide is great! Thats the great thing about being a mom! YOU get to pick it out. To hell what everyone else thinks. good luck.

Answer 8

I'm a bit traditional, but to help, I would pick Startlette and Maiken - or put them together - Starlette Maiken Bond!

Answer 9

Basil is a GP i like.
like holden
Leander Cruz Bond, Nn Lee ?

again Maiken is good with the nickname Mae

Elston is good too nn El (L)
prn ( L-ston) ? (Ls-ton) ?

is there another way to spell Elston ? I am tryin to find its meaning and stuff, I think its a good name, if you knew any sites that have it let me know ! thanks

Answer 10

Holden Cruz Bond...don't know where you got it, but cool!!
Trigger Josiah Bond comes in a close second.

You really need to look hard for some more girl names...None of these click!! Where did you find Faruza..sounds like a vacuumn cleaner! and Elston is a male name no doubt...

Starlette and Electra might be OK with a different middle name, but I don't know even then.

Hope you have a boy!!

Answer 11

The Only one I like is Basil Leander.
Honey, the rest are SO way out that the poor child will spend his whole life EVER time he gives his name he weill have to repeat himself 100 times and spell it at least twice. Please, think of the child.
