CATEGORY 1: YOUR LIST

What is your favorite girl’s name?
I’m really liking [name_f]Styx[/name_f] right now. It might change later.
What is your favorite boy’s name?
I’m liking a lot of [name_m]Ed[/name_m]- or -mund names, and [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] is the perfect combination of both.

What is the longest name/combo on your list?

What is the shortest name/combo on your list?
[name_f]Io[/name_f] is the shortest name and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_u]Lux[/name_u] is the shortest combo (as of now).

Tell me the story behind a favorite name of yours.
I’m really indecisive so I have a bunch of favourites. But right now, a name that has caught my eye is [name_f]Wednesday[/name_f]. It is special to me because I was born on that day. It also feels really witchy, which is also the vibe I look for in my names. Nonetheless, there are a variety of reasons I wouldn’t use this name.

What is the newest name/combo on your list?

CATEGORY 4: TAG A BERRY

Before starting, I’d like to make it known that even though I’m a new member, I have been lurking around the forums for quite a while. That’s where most of this information comes from :joy:

[name_m]Tag[/name_m] a [name_u]Berry[/name_u] with names of a very similar style to you
@rosepip

[name_m]Tag[/name_m] a [name_u]Berry[/name_u] with OPPOSITE style to you, but whose names you love anyway
I like a bit of everyone’s names but maybe @futuremama and @planetnames?

[name_m]Tag[/name_m] a [name_u]Berry[/name_u] whose names you admire from afar, but rarely speak to
I haven’t spoken to anyone on this forum :joy: @cactusgram, @VivienaLunelle123

[name_m]Tag[/name_m] a [name_u]Berry[/name_u] who helped you discover a love for a new name
@EllieWilbury brought [name_m]Draco[/name_m] to my attention. I saw one of their posts.

[name_m]Tag[/name_m] a [name_u]Berry[/name_u] whose names you’re always on the lookout for + [name_m]Tag[/name_m] a [name_u]Berry[/name_u] who influenced your naming style
@rosepip

CATEGORY 5: OPINIONS

What’s a name everyone seems to love, but you’re not a fan of?
[name_u]Kai[/name_u] or [name_u]Wolf[/name_u]

What’s a name everyone seems to dislike, but you love?
[name_m]Thorfinn[/name_m]

What do you think of alliterative names? What’s your favorite alliterative name? (e.g. [name_u]Alaska[/name_u] [name_f]Anouk[/name_f], [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] Mae)
Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. I don’t have an opinion on them. [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] comes to mind.

[name_f]Do[/name_f] name meanings matter to you?
Not much.

What’s your opinion on traditionally masculine names for girls, and traditionally feminine names for boys?
I don’t actually have any traditionally male names for girls on my list, but others do and they love it, so why not? There are a few limitations, say [name_m]Richard[/name_m] or [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] on a girl, but otherwise works just fine. As for traditionally female names on boys, I’m liking [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a middle name lately so I’m not really against that either. Again, there are a few things to keep in mind. I wouldn’t personally like [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] or [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] on a boy. I’m not one to dictate what names people should like and dislike.

Does name popularity influence your name decisions?
A lot. I usually try to avoid Top 50 names.

How much do other [name_u]Berry[/name_u] opinions influence your name decisions?
If the Berries are alerting me of a name’s pros and cons, then yes. Personal opinions are good to know and I don’t really mind them, in fact I welcome them. However they don’t have an impact on me. I often look out for certain terms that Berries may use to describe their feelings about a name but not more than that.

What’s your opinion on using long, (but beautiful), easily mispronounced non-English names in an English-speaking country?
I don’t have names like that on my list. One thing I know for sure is that I wouldn’t necessarily use a name that may be mispronounced/misspelt. I know the struggles that come with a difficult name.

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you follow naming trends?
Depends. I can’t say much about that.

CATEGORY 6: MISC

What was the FIRST name you can remember loving? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you still like/love it now?
[name_f]Topaz[/name_f] I guess. I don’t like it anymore, although I love other gemstone names.

Cutest matching names for twins?
[name_u]Artemis[/name_u] and [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] (too cheesy? lol)
• [name_f]Esme[/name_f] & [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (g/g)
• [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] & [name_m]Louis[/name_m] (b/b)
• [name_m]Louis[/name_m] & [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (b/g)

If you had to give your kid a family name, what name would you pick?
If variations are allowed then [name_f]Lilith[/name_f].

What’s the best name in your family tree?
I prefer not to disclose that information here :slight_smile:

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you prefer the ‘Hot Takes’ thread or the ‘Quick Poll’ thread? Why?
The Quick [name_u]Poll[/name_u] thread! I haven’t replied there or voted, but I have scrolled through it. As the name suggests, it is ‘quick’ and is easier to get done with.

Show me some ‘aesthetic’ pictures that you feel match the vibe of your names.
