I’ve been thinking about this for the past days, and it’s really got me curious. There seems to be a lot of posts of “5 little girls/boys”, what’s your top 5, what would you name five kids, etc., but nobody really asks about the bottom five.
So out of your top 10, what are the bottom five? Those names you really love too much to let go and you love enough for it to be top 10 material, but it just doesn’t make the top 5 spot, that would likely get used? Not sure what I’m expecting to find here, I just thought it would be interesting to see everyone’s responses.
Mine are:
[name]Liliana[/name] “[name]Lily[/name]”
[name]Charlotte[/name] “[name]Lola[/name]”
[name]Eleni[/name] “[name]Leni[/name]” (or possibly [name]Helena[/name], nn [name]Leni[/name]/[name]Lena[/name] instead, but I’ve always been partial to [name]Eleni[/name])
[name]Hannah[/name] (maybe nn [name]Annie[/name])
[name]Eve[/name] “[name]Evie[/name]”/[name]Eva[/name] “[name]Evie[/name]”/[name]Genevieve[/name] “[name]Evie[/name]/[name]Niamh[/name]/[name]Ginny[/name]”/[name]Elisabeth[/name] “[name]Lily[/name]/[name]Elisa[/name]/[name]Lilibet[/name]/[name]Libby[/name]”/[name]Josephine[/name] “[name]Posy[/name]” (obviously, very torn on this last slot)
It almost feels like cheating to put some of these down, though, as I love [name]Liliana[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Hannah[/name], [name]Avery[/name], [name]Bailey[/name], and [name]Spencer[/name] enough for them to be top 5 material, I just can’t fit 8 names in a top 5. What about everyone else?
Oh, I thought this was going somewhere different. I think it would also be fun to see everyone’s least favorite names (as in the names they would never use no matter how many children they have!)
Your way is fun too though. My names that don’t quite make the top 5:
[name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Frances[/name]
[name]Flora[/name]
[name]Vera[/name]
And, just for fun, the bottom 5 names I would never use:
[name]Ophelia[/name]
[name]Nevaeh[/name]
[name]Madison[/name], or any variation
[name]Haley[/name], or any variation
[name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]Mason[/name]
[name]Hayden[/name], or any variation
[name]Jackson[/name]
[name]Cooper[/name]
[name]Chase[/name]
[name]Luke[/name] - I like [name]Leo[/name] and [name]Levi[/name] better
[name]Silas[/name] - don’t like the nn [name]Si[/name]
[name]Felix[/name] - not sure if I love the sound
[name]Hale[/name] - love it but might be too out there for me, probably more of a mn
[name]Finn[/name] - same as [name]Hale[/name], love it, but might be too far for a first
I think my top 5 are
[name]Eve[/name]
[name]Livia[/name]
[name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Noelle[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name]
My bottom 5 would have to be a stand off with these:
[name]Alice[/name] -this and the next two are really my top 8, hard to really eliminate any
[name]Gwendolyn[/name] - not sure this would work well with our last name
[name]Coralie[/name] - same as [name]Gwendolyn[/name], love it though!
[name]Lucy[/name] - I know someone with this name who’s given it a rather bad impression for me
[name]Abigail[/name] - love this one but someone I dislike named her daughter this
[name]Laurel[/name] - I love this one, but it’s a bit too mushy
[name]Geneva[/name] - I don’t like the nn [name]Gen[/name], so probably not
I know because of my love for [name]Matilda[/name] I would never get to use [name]Ottilie[/name] but I can’t let it go just yet. I’m not loving [name]Tabitha[/name], [name]Harriet[/name] and [name]Daphne[/name] as much but there so me and my style that I don’t want to lose them. [name]Imogen[/name] and [name]Eloise[/name] are the ones that are creeping up my girls list.
It’s a bit more difficult with my boy’s names because adore so many of them and would love them all to be in my top 5 lol!! I think [name]River[/name] [name]Elijah[/name] [name]Cole[/name], [name]Tobias[/name] [name]William[/name] [name]Oscar[/name], [name]Shiloh[/name] [name]Everett[/name] [name]James[/name], [name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Adam[/name] [name]Spencer[/name] and [name]Caleb[/name] [name]Zachary[/name] [name]Joel[/name] make up my top 10. I have so many boy’s names on my extended list and my favourites of those are [name]August[/name], [name]Aubrey[/name], [name]Atticus[/name], [name]Bennett[/name], [name]Chase[/name], [name]Declan[/name], [name]Ezekiel[/name], [name]Finlay[/name], [name]Henry[/name], [name]Jenson[/name], [name]Lachlan[/name], [name]Malachi[/name], [name]Noah[/name], [name]Oscar[/name], [name]Preston[/name], [name]Quinlan[/name], [name]Rocco[/name], [name]Reuben[/name], [name]Rafferty[/name], [name]Reed[/name], [name]Roman[/name], [name]Silas[/name], [name]Solomon[/name], [name]Xander[/name] and [name]Xavier[/name]… so yeah, so many that I love!
[name]Demetrius[/name]- middle is iffy since I’m in the process of changing it. Right now [name]Demetrius[/name] [name]Bram[/name] is my favorite but that’s probably going to change especially since I kept deleting and putting another name there haha!
[name]Aubrey[/name] [name]December[/name]
Kàel [name]Ambrose[/name]
[name]Otis[/name] [name]Patton[/name]
[name]Eden[/name] [name]Trust[/name]- I had to put this in there! It might climb my list though I’m pretty stubborn about my boys.
For girls I have so far, [name]Gia[/name], [name]Seraphina[/name], probably [name]Lila[/name].
Boys are [name]Finn[/name], [name]Cato[/name], [name]Asa[/name], [name]Philip[/name].
What about everyone else?
