Mine: [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_m]Alexei[/name_m] :slightly_smiling_face:

[name_m]Alexei[/name_m] still sparkles for me but not so much like before anymore.

Funnily enough, it is [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] for me as well! She was my first real, extreme name love, but I find her shine has dimmed over time and that I have found names with similar sounds that I adore much more than her. :slightly_smiling_face: Also sadly, and perhaps shockingly…Mellona. :face_with_hand_over_mouth: I love my username and its namesake to bits, and at one point I would have said without a doubt that she would be my first daughter’s name…but her name is so much less impressive to me than [name_f]Meliora[/name_f], Melusina, and the like. :sweat_smile: Finally, Mathilde/Matilda. She used to be so magical to me; I do not know what happened!

[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] is my first true and profound girl name love, and lasted for eight years and a half. I always said it with the pronunciation in Italian, ah-deh-LIE-deh.

But when I came on Nameberry and discovered that it was an [name_f]English[/name_f] (I always thought it was just in Italian lol) and [name_u]French[/name_u] name, and I heard the [name_f]English[/name_f] pronunciation, it kind of unappealed for me? Because it felt like a totally different name for me, for how different they sounded…

And now I lean more toward other type of names, more international

honestly, hundreds of them :sweat_smile: but it’s interesting to see how they’ve changed! for example, when i first joined NB over seven years ago, my favourite boy name was lukas, and now luka is one of my favourites! i also loved lionel nn lenny, and now leni is one of my favourites for a girl !

funnily enough, i also used to love adelaide! i think it was very popular when i first joined the site, so i almost “had” to like it, but in the end i found that just heidi is much more style

I have [name_f]Adela[/name_f] in my list now, also [name_f]Adelina[/name_f]

I actually used to love Adelaide too! I still think she’s super sweet, but has kind of lost her spark for me, and I wouldn’t put her on my list. Like Maya, I now much prefer Adelheid and Heidi!

[name_f]Jessica[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Dee[/name_f], [name_m]Fitz[/name_m], [name_u]Logan[/name_u], [name_u]Arthur[/name_u], [name_f]Lorilyn[/name_f] - I don’t dislike them now, but I wouldn’t consider them favourites.

[name_f]Cecile[/name_f] and [name_u]Maria[/name_u]!

I’m not a fan of [name_f]Cecile[/name_f] anymore. I would still use [name_u]Maria[/name_u] in a heartbeat for a middle name, just not as a first!

Definitely a lot of names. Mostly for boys. I look back on my girls list and am mostly satisfied. (That said, I did used to love [name_u]Skye[/name_u] for a girl, which is so far from my current style it’s almost funny.) For boys, I used to love [name_m]Ethan[/name_m], which is a nice name, but not anything special. About a year ago I went through an [name_m]Otis[/name_m] and [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] phase, both of which don’t work for me anymore.

So many! I was just thinking about this actually!

[name_u]Stevie[/name_u] is a big one! I was absolutely sure I would have a little [name_u]Stevie[/name_u] someday! [name_u]Solstice[/name_u] [name_u]Jude[/name_u] is another that I used to love :smiling_face:
