I always liked the name Victoria...


But I've never liked the nickname "Vicki"; it sounds like a name for exotic dancers & truck stop waitresses...

Favorite female names: I've always liked the name "Jenny".  "Leticia", "Alexis", and "Ruby" are also very nice.

Least favorite female names: I've always hated "Amanda"  :P.  Other names that sound distasteful to me are "Dorcas," "Hortense," and "Mildred".  "Suki" always sounded odd to me too.

Favorite male names: "Nathan," "Gregory," (oddly enough I despised both characters.)  "Aristede," "Jason," and "Justin"

Least favorite male names: "Jeremiah" always sounded too pretentious to me and "Jeb" sounds like a hillbilly.

ALtho I am a new fan of DS and am not familiar with all the characters,   I think my favorite female name would be Victoria (and I even like Vicki as a nickname because I have a sister named Vicki)  and my favorite male name would be Richard because of personal reasons as well (hi pokie)... and my least favorites are Millicent and Garth (which I only know of this name from reading it on the board)

"Jeb" sounds like a hillbilly.


Come & listen to my story of a man named Jeb,
The grown Leviathan Child
And the guy who Carolyn wed.

He was dogged by a shadow
And went to Widow's Hill.
That's when Sky sent him for an awful spill.

Hmm. My 'lease' favorite is Joshua Collins, as his is the only name I can think of that would actually be on that titular document, which I assume refers to the ownership of Collinwood? ;D ;)

Thanks for the great laugh, scout75!  ;D

My favorite female name would have to be Elizabeth.  I go for more the classic names.  I wanted to name my daughter Elizabeth but the hubby wouldn't give in.  We have a niece with that name, even though the age difference was huge he couldn't see it.  His brother's daughter so they have the same last name.

My favorite male names would have to Joseph and Michael.  The levitian kids names.  Of course those being my favorite has nothing to do with DS.  Joseph is my oldest sons name.  He was named after my father and a very special Uncle.

Least favorite female name would have to be  Julia.  Don't hate me Grayson fans.  It goes back to a person named Julia who was nasty to me as a child.  Those things just stick to a name.  No matter how many great people you meet later on with the name those ones as a child color your opinon.

A lot of ugly male names, Ezra, Jeb,

Hey, they worked for the show that is what is important.

Favorite Male Name: I have always like the names Joshua and Gabriel.

Least Favorite Male Name: Bruno, it sounds like a name for a dog. And Mordecai (Spelling?)-it just sounds wierd.

Favorite Female Name: Angelique, it is unique and sounds pretty. Also, I really like the name Miranda.

Least Favorite Female Name: Pansy and Dorcas

Dark Shadows has a lot of great names for their characters but even before becoming embroiled in the show last year. . JULIA has always been my favorite name.  I also like Miranda and Angelique.

For the dudes.. ..hmmm....I do like Quentinn Gabriel, and of course, Jamison (those of you who *know* me know why. ..)

Least favorites. . for females, Millicent has got to go!  As does Edith.

for the guys. .  Roger .. i just don't like that name although i enjoy the character immensely

I love how the names Victoria Winters, Barnabas Collins, Samantha Collins sound...Also think Dr. Julia Hoffman sounds good, and Angelique. I did not like Lady Hamsphire's name/nickname, "Kitty." Ditto for Dorcas.

Ralph, Alice, Ed, and Trixie are my favorite character names.

You know, those distant relatives that stayed in the less-expensive wing that overlooked the run-down courtyard....

I think they all spring from Dorcas Trillings's branch of the Collinsport clan.
