Also, unrelated…
Your username is beautiful. 
I’m not sure if it’s meant to reference the line in “gold rush” (I’ve just wracked my brain thinking of that song title, yikes), but if it is, I looove that song. Still if not, what a beautiful phrase! And then, I highly recommend the song.

I can really only think of one, and that’s [name_f]Susan[/name_f]. Used to absolutely hate it, but now I love it
You caught me, I’m a huge Swiftie! And my name is [name_f]Rose[/name_f] so I thought the username was fitting. [name_f]Beautiful[/name_f] song with beautiful lyricism…had to borrow the line!
And thanks for the compliments on the title…gave me a good laugh so I’m glad other people like it hehe!

[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] come to mind. I only disliked them because of negative associates when I was a kid, and they’ve faded to the point I would use either one if they weren’t so popular.
Others:
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoey[/name_f]
[name_u]Gabriel[/name_u]
[name_m]Anthony[/name_m]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
[name_m]Josiah[/name_m]
gold rush is golden (like daylight)
luella
scout
olivia
ulysses
shepherd (this was a big one!! one of my top boys names now!!)
addison
I love the title!! Very creative and cute
Girls:
[name_f]Luella[/name_f] - never got the hype for her but she’s totally grown on me! I do prefer her clunkier sister, [name_f]Louella[/name_f], though
[name_f]Twila[/name_f] - I thought it was a weird made up name. Now I realize how pretty it is!
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] - I used to think this name was so ugly but I have no idea why! She’s currently one of my top girls names
Boys:
[name_m]Javi[/name_m] - I’m not a fan of J names but this one is different! I think it’s because it’s pronounced with a hah- sound instead of a jah- sound
[name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] - I thought this name was ugly and weird, but his charm has grown on me! He has a handsome, old fashioned vibe
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] - I used to hate the nickname [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] and [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] reminded me of too tight shirt collars and old men’s cologne. Now he’s vintage-sweet!
I always forget these when I’m trying to think of them for a thread but here are a few:
[name_u]Flannery[/name_u]
[name_u]Emrys[/name_u]
[name_f]Artemisia[/name_f]
[name_m]Elwyn[/name_m]
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] is my main one!
Also [name_f]Zelda[/name_f], [name_f]Una[/name_f], [name_u]Romilly[/name_u], [name_f]Gigi[/name_f], [name_f]Maxine[/name_f], [name_u]Holland[/name_u], Greer… 
For boys, I think my tastes have changed less over the years. Maybe names like [name_u]Avery[/name_u], [name_u]Amory[/name_u], [name_u]Ellery[/name_u], [name_u]Auden[/name_u].
That’s a great title 
[name_f]Kaia[/name_f] and [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] are two that come to mind - though perhaps [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] would count too
Same!
Also Flora, Gaia, Wanda, Fiona, Kaspian, Marius, Andreas, and Niko, as well as my own name.

[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] for a boy for sure! Met a little boy with the name and fell in love!
other boy names: [name_u]Henry[/name_u], [name_u]Michael[/name_u], [name_u]Charles[/name_u], [name_u]William[/name_u] or just [name_u]Liam[/name_u], [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m], [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u], [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u], & [name_u]Jordan[/name_u]
[name_f]Eve[/name_f] for a girl! Also met a little girl with the name and it’s grown on me!
other girl names: [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_u]Florence[/name_u], [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] or [name_f]Elena[/name_f], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], & [name_f]Rachel[/name_f]
Probably others, but those are the main ones!
Ohhh, so many! Most notably: [name_u]Henry[/name_u], [name_u]Arthur[/name_u], [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_m]Albert[/name_m], Alfred… popular classics used to be unappealing to me. As I’ve matured I’ve come to appreciate them in and of themselves and see the reasons they are so popular/have been used forever. [name_u]Henry[/name_u] has probably undergone the most extreme transformation for me - from not knowing why anyone would like it, to it being what I’d probably name a boy these days!
Ooh, so many!
Off the top of my head, [name_f]Augusta[/name_f], [name_f]Opal[/name_f], & [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]!
For me it’s [name_u]Max[/name_u], [name_u]Pip[/name_u] and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u].
[name_f]Nancy[/name_f], Lily/Lucy, [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_f]Nina[/name_f], [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f], & [name_f]Daisy[/name_f].
[name_u]Luka[/name_u] (negative association originally that faded).
I’m surprised you used to dislike Peter, he feels so you!

I know right?! I feel like I’ve loved him forever! I don’t know if I actively disliked [name_m]Peter[/name_m] (there are very few names that I actively dislike), but I was definitely very indifferent towards him. [name_m]Just[/name_m] didn’t care for him much at all. But now… oh my word, the best name!

[name_u]Arlo[/name_u], [name_f]Elodie[/name_f], and Esme… Idk why fought liking them for so long but I have added [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] and [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] to my top 10! They definitely match my other names really well, I think I was worried about how often they are mentioned on here… But I still haven’t met any kiddos with any of these names!
