[name_u]Hazel[/name_u], I suppose! I’ve always loved my name. I think it’s really nice.
I also love [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] and [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] a lot!

[name_f]Ava[/name_f] is, and always has been one of my favourite names! I’ve only ever met kind people with the name.
Regardless of what origin/name meaning you choose to acknowledge, all of them are beautiful. The most common being “birdlike” - how sweet!
I suppose my name, [name_f]Stella[/name_f], is also quite “boring and popular” these days. I love it anyway - the sound, meaning, and flow!
I was surprise how popular the names I have liked for a while have become in recent years since I always considered them unique!
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] - moon
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] - aurora borealis
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] - star
All these names share the same theme as you can see.

There are so many names I would happily use if they weren’t so popular (I wouldn’t consider them boring necessarily). I still might! I’d love to choose something unique, but sometimes things are popular for a reason
