This is a bit of a tall order, so please don’t feel obligated to take part if you don’t want to! 💓 S/O and I are sort of steering away from strictly 80s names after finding that most of them do still have some negativity attached to them for one another (ie: he went on a date with a Kristen who wasn’t pleasant, I went to school with a Danielle who was obnoxious, etc.) and so, we’ve decided to move more towards midcentury (1940s-1970s) and classic names, which sort of bridges everything we like together. While we’re still in the collecting stage right now (ie; not yet expecting), I’d love to see if there’s any names for either gender that I haven’t thought of as of yet, or maybe that I didn’t know about? I’ve collected a few _artifacts_ if you will, to highlight the sunshiney, bubbly, light, happy feel that the names I like seem to have, feel free to use the drop down arrows below to check them out! 🙂 > **moodboard** > > ![image](https://d3e4s07haqhh9y.cloudfront.net/original/3X/3/7/375cb1fb49cc207e4de1b1ade0d6c9b0b999c69f.jpeg) > **colour palette** > > ![image](https://d3e4s07haqhh9y.cloudfront.net/original/3X/d/a/da7186b2fcbb74dfffa8d4f52e0b1ff6ead00a08.png) > **"playlists”** > > [listography: error](https://listography.com/haleyalannah/music/favourite_50s_60s_songs) > > [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0Qo6iRj9Lpme6WSiL9Adnq?si=bfn8LamYSGa3btNBoqkDxQ&dl\_branch=1](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0Qo6iRj9Lpme6WSiL9Adnq?si=bfn8LamYSGa3btNBoqkDxQ&dl_branch=1) > **imagery** > > sunny beaches, surfing, palm trees, Volkswagen vans, old Cadillacs, jukeboxes, root beer floats, Elvis Presley, drive-in movie theatres > > if I summarize it in emojis: 🌈☀🌼🌴👙🛼 🏄🏻‍♂️ 🏄🏻‍♀️ 🏖 What names do _you_ feel fit this vibe?

I don’t know why but the aesthetic board reminded me of the movie [name\_f]Gidget[/name\_f], and the movie takes place in the 50’s.
