Are you a name satisficer or maximizer?

Maximizer, definitely.

I haven’t got any kids, nor do I have a definite list of names for future children. I just have a bunch of names & name combo’s I like.

I do however have a whole bunch of fur/feather babies. And my critter family is ever growing, so I’m near constantly agonizing over names. Right now alone, I have 6 furbabies that need naming. And each one’s name has to be perfect. It has to be The One. As a result, it usually takes me weeks, or even months to name them. Occasionally, I’ll have an animal that a name will just instantly pop into my head when I look at them, and it’s the perfect fit, but that’s a once in a blue moon occurrence.
I’ve resorted to giving each species a name theme, in hopes of making it a bit easier. For example, all the girl guinea pigs have greek mythology names. It hasn’t made it any easier.

Back to my signature, I have several favourite names that I just cannot find the perfect middle for. [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] & [name_u]Blaise[/name_u] being the main two. [name_m]Even[/name_m] if I never get to use these, it still have to be perfect.

Satisficer. My connection with a name is instantaneous, and when making combos, I know pretty much as soon as I put the “right” names together. There are a few instances when I wobble, but in general once I know, I know. I think the only problem is that, by the time I have kids, I’ll have so many combos picked out that I love equally, I won’t be able to decide, lol. I guess that’s when the last name and SO’s opinions come into play.
