About

A list of words that sound like girls' names. Inspired by a character named Anathema Device, who appears in one of my favorite books, Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.

Thanks, p & P! And palooka, I can't help but imagine your daughters as wan little girls wearing 19th-century party dresses...

Nice list.
I once worked with a girl named Tierany (like tyranny). Haha! :)

As much as I love this list, I can't seem to find a good title for it. Currently it's called "Alternative Names for Baby Girls", which, while descriptive, is hopelessly bland.
Any suggestions, guys?

I don't have a name suggestion, unless you wanted to use your inspiration name as a title (Anathema Device)--I do that a lot but I'm partial to titles with colons.
I did want to provide a link on this list to this other list, however. Which isn't the same but perhaps belongs in the same family. I think Anathema Device would approve. :)

Wow, I looked at this list yesterday and could have sworn I saw "tympany" on it. Weird.

Nice list. I'm expecting and if she's a she, I'll be consulting this list in a few months time.

Wow, ptero! I'm delighted and humbled at your adoption. I don't believe there was a Little Miss Different in the Little Miss series, but it sounds as if there ought to have been. Anyway if there wasn't, for me, it reflects the delightful edge that this list employs.
