Crooked Bangs and Chunky Sweaters: The Clunky and Eclectic! 🌈

[readingreverie]

Hello, friends!

In my recent journey to find a description that sums up my naming style (particularly my girls list, although my boys fit some parts of this), I’ve somehow managed to come up with the overarching description of “crooked bangs and chunky sweaters.” phrasing that I believe manages to capture the clunky and eclectic nature of my list, if only in a more glorious way!

Fully, the description of what vibes my names give off says this: crooked bangs cut by safety scissors, chunky knit sweaters, tortoiseshell glasses, missing teeth, muddy feet, a stack of books tucked under an arm, corduroy overalls, art projects, silly faces, wide grins, belly laughter, a big backyard to play knights and fairies in, a wanderer’s spirit, animal lovers, mismatched outfits, and a big warm hug.

So, with that being said, I want to hear what names you think fit this vibe! Either as a suggestion for me or just in general! The clunkier the better (I mean, I can literally hear the clatter of a busy purse filled with toys and art supplies as I write this), and the more eclectic, the more fun.

And if you’re curious, the name that inspired this vibe is my lovely and dear, [name_f]Agnes[/name_f].

There is a cartoon character in a show called [name_f]Gravity[/name_f] Falls named [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] who wears a chunky sweater in every episode, and her signature one has a rainbow on it She is also very quirky but lovable! Oh, and she has bangs.
