@the_common_fool Your 1980s name is william âbillyâ david.
explanation
My first thought when reading your interests was that I really wanted you to have a traditional name with a fun nickname. I liked alex as one possibility but then I thought of billy. One of my favourite rock bands of the 80s is Guns NâRoses and after some digging, I found that william was actually axl roseâs (lead vocalist) given name. billy is an obvious choice as a nickname for william which was in the Top 100 and I kind of imagined billy as a bit of a rock music fan! So I went with william âbillyâ as it tied in well with your love of classic rock music. I wanted your middle to incorporate your other interests that all had a similar upright vibe (reading, history and antiquing), and also your love of the fantasy genre. david is a historical name and one that has been consistently popular for decades. He was the 6th century Welsh bishop who became st. david, patron saint of Wales. Green (although admittedly not olive green) is one of the three colours of the Welsh flag so that is a subtle nod to your favourite colour whilst still being related to the name david! The film âLabyrinthâ came out in 1986 and starred david bowie so I liked that reference to the fantasy genre.
@elanorelle Your 1940s name is denise jacqueline.
explanation
I didnât want a name that sounded very âdatedâ because you are in your early 20s, but I wanted a name that still said 1940s. You said you enjoy reading classic literature and travelling to places with lots of history which gave me a very European vibe. I also wanted to incorporate your passion of ballet. I did think of monica, sylvia or veronica as they gave me the vibe I wanted but they sounded slightly older than what I was going for. In the end I went with my first instinct of denise. She is young and dainty and was in the Top 100 in England & Wales in 1940 but in the Top 5 in France. Your middle was jacqueline because sheâs chic, classic and obviously European. She is also one of my favourite French names which ties in with your love of ballet.
@Randomdude555 Your 1910s name is lionel edward clarence.
explanation
I was so glad you requested a 1910s name because you sound like such a gentleman! I wanted to give you a name that wouldnât have sounded out of place in the drawing room of an English Earlâs estate. A name that nowadays, people might raise an eye or smirk if they heard it. Initially, I really wanted basil. I think you could really pull off being a basil. But there were so many great names! cecil, gilbert, hugh & ivor were all possibilities for you and in the end I went with lionel. It means young lion and the lion is the symbol of England. England has a huge royal history and I really liked how well it gelled with your description.
Your writing is clearly very important to you and I really wanted to incorporate it into your name. E. M. Forster first published âHowardâs Endâ in 1910 and your description really made me think of it. So I gave you edward for your first middle as a way to honour a favourite author of mine from that decade. I really wanted to give you two middles because I thought you would suit them. For your second middle, history and fencing made me think of the adjectives grand, lordly and stately. I liked clarence because it had that elegance we associate with the Edwardian era, but it also had a subtle British royal reference to clarence house. So it tied in nicely with your interests.
@leafygreens Your 1900s name is mildred maud.
explanation
Your description really interested me. I really didnât want a very girly name and I was reminded of one of my favourite TV shows when I was little. I loved âThe Worst Witchâ which was based on the novels by jill murphy. The protagonist is a girl called mildred hubble and she is exactly as the title says. She attends miss cackleâs academy for witches and is clumsy and chaotic which often leads her into disastrous situations. She has four pet bats and her best friend is a girl called maud moonshine. I went with mildred maud for your name because it sounded spunky and friendly. mildred tied in to your chaotic academia aesthetic and I imagined maud to love reading, watching movies and music. Basically, anything that involves imagination and both names were in the Top 100 of the 1900s!
@wintersnowflake03 I couldnât decide so I gave you two 
Your 1970s names are debra âdebbieâ sharon & kim leanne.
explanation
You are clearly extremely active and it made me think that you must be on the go all the time! So I wanted a short and fun sounding first name for you. I really liked tanya & kelly but ended up going with my first instinct of debra with the nickname debbie. I love the name deborah but I thought it looked too clunky for the vibe I was going for. debra was an equally popular choice of spelling and of course I could use debbie as the nickname which I really liked for you. Itâs fun, upbeat and young sounding but I didnât want to give you a nickname as a first name. So I used the debra spelling which still gave me the short bubbly vibe that I wanted. I also wanted something water related so your middle name was inspired by a swimmer called sharron davies who was selected at the age of 13 to represent Great Britain at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. I thought it was a nice link to the fact that your age now is very close to her age then. You got the bonus name of kim leanne because I really saw you as a kim but I struggled to find a middle name that flowed and was still meaningful to you. I love leanne and it went nicely with kim so I thought why not!
@regionlatbest Your 1900s-1930s name is rachel diana.
explanation
You clearly are a friendly and kind person and I wanted that to come through in your name. I wanted your name to feel warm and approachable but also reliable which is what I think you have to be when you work with children. You have a wonderful array of interests so I wanted your name to be more than just the warm, traditional classics of amelia, charlotte & eleanor; all of which I considered. I liked bridget, helen, laura & sylvia because they went with the vibe I was trying to go for. But once again, I went with my first choice of rachel. I adore the name rachel! It was popular in the 1900s but then didnât resurface until the 1960s in England & Wales and Iâve always considered it more vintage than people give it credit for. I always think of rachel cazalet in elizabeth jane howardâs âThe Cazalet Chronicles.â She is the unmarried aunt, but so so kind hearted and selfless and thatâs how I imagine rachel to be. Because I took a name from the 1900s for your first, I wanted to use a 1930s for your middle. diana seemed perfect because it is the latin name for the Roman goddess associated with the moon and was popular during the 1930s. The moon is related to the stars and during the night, the sky is pitch black so I thought that diana connected well to your description.
