[name_f]My[/name_f] style of names are definitely considered “boring”. The most ‘unique’ name on my list is [name_f]Zara[/name_f]
I love the old fashioned names, the ones that others consider plain or, alternatively, too popular nowadays. The Harry’s, the Jack’s, the Isla’s and the Mia’s. I also adore names like [name_u]Hazel[/name_u], [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], [name_u]Owen[/name_u] & [name_u]James[/name_u] for example.
So what are your names that you adore that others might find too old fashioned or too popular?

Also ones that are boring and normal where I live but probably not in the US (I haven’t checked)

[name_f]Anna[/name_f] is probably the one that fits this bill most. I just think it is so pretty and sleek, but a perfect name for any age.
I also love [name_f]Alyssa[/name_f]. [name_f]My[/name_f] favourite boy names don’t really fit this
I like [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_u]Arthur[/name_u], [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] and Maximiian!
I also like [name_f]Greta[/name_f] and [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m], which are kinda basic in my country.
For me its definitely:
This would be most of the boy names on my list! [name_f]My[/name_f] girls names are more varied!
[name_f]Georgina[/name_f]
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m]
Most names on my list are pretty uncommon, but I do love some more common ones. I’d never actually use these though.
[name_u]Noah[/name_u]
[name_f]Elísabet[/name_f] - currently around nr 10 in [name_f]Iceland[/name_f], so very common there
Oh, basically every single one.
I like, among others,
[name_f]Mildred[/name_f]
i love…

[name_f]My[/name_f] whole list, for the most part
[name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_u]Marie[/name_u], [name_u]Rose[/name_u], [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m], [name_u]Timothy[/name_u], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], [name_u]Jack[/name_u], [name_m]Christopher[/name_m]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_u]Henry[/name_u]
[name_f]Ava[/name_f]
[name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] and [name_u]Edward[/name_u] are the two that immediately came to mind. I love them!
[name_f]Emma[/name_f]! Such a sweet lovely name. I used to find it too trendy and boring but after reading Madame Bovary it feels more classic to me.
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] as well.
honestly i am a very boring name lover!!

I think most of my boys names are either “too popular” or “too old-fashioned”
[name_u]Clifford[/name_u]
[name_f]My[/name_f] girls list isn’t as popular in terms of actual US rankings, but there are a few, some others may be considered too old fashioned
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]

Personally, I think popular names aren’t boring, and sometimes you’re better off with a more popular name than one your child will forever have to spell out or explain.
[name_u]Alex[/name_u]

These are the ones I like that rank in the current UK Top 100:
Summary
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
And as a comparison, these are the ones I like from the UK list from the year I was born (excluding the ones from above):
Summary
[name_f]Megan[/name_f]
[name_u]Callum[/name_u]
It was definitely easier to pick from the current top 100, perhaps because I didn’t ‘grow up’ surrounded by those names?
