What helps me love a name is associating it with a well liked celebrity or movie character. I’m more of a visual person so when I know a movie character named that name, I picture them and if I like them, I tend to fall in love with the name.
What are some hot/strong male character names you can think of? Some examples are [name]Jack[/name] from Titanic, [name]Noah[/name] from the Notebook, etc.
I named my first son [name]Harrison[/name] cause I loved the name, but thinking of [name]Harrison[/name] [name]Ford[/name] made me love it even more because of how successful he is.
I think [name]Ripley[/name], from the Alien movies, is arguably the strongest female character in all of fiction AND/BUT I think the name works better for a male.
When I was little I adored the name [name]Luke[/name] because of [name]Mark[/name] [name]Hamilton[/name] in [name]Star[/name] Wars. I still like it now, but not necessarily for that reason alone.
