Names I Love

There have always been certain names that have always captured my imagination. Names that make me think, "Wow, that name has a certain ring to it."

Names like: Jhumpa Lahiri, Anjali Holstein, Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, Koyalee Chanda (Emmy award winning director of Blue's Clues) Jurgen Goth and Jian Gomeshi.

I'm not quite sure why some names just stick with me like old friends. Does anyone else have these same associations with names of people that you know of, but don't really know?

And the best name of all? Why, Tarah (Star) Noor (Light) Paryani!

Omg, Nadja! Saw a documentary (more than once I have sat voluntarily through it) on her and fell in love, so to speak. Love her passion, honesty and boldness. So cool that Nadja is. You are right, she does have a killer name.

I like the names Benjamin Franklin, Jimi Hendrix and John Jacob Astor. Women's names are harder...Reba McEntire, Condoleezza Rice and Isibella Rosselini.
