Favorite Names Changing

General Name Discussion
1

I haven’t posted in yonks, but I was thinking recently how fun it would be to discuss how everyone’s favorite names had changed when they first started noticing/liking names to now.

The names that I used to like and really don’t now except for maybe one were very trendy and/or popular

[name_u]Brayden[/name_u] is the only name I used to like for boys. I might have liked others but I have such a horrible memory that I can’t remember any others that really stick out that I loved when I was younger. I even named one of those electronic babies that for a family studies class I had in high school.

Actually I also liked [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] for a boy. So yeah, [name_u]Brayden[/name_u] and [name_m]Ethan[/name_m]. Very trendy and popular.

For girls I loved [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and honestly I still do. I wish my name was [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and there was a point where I was considering changing my name to [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] but I didn’t want to upset my mother so I am just boring old [name_f]Brittany[/name_f], which I hate.

The other name I used to love for girls was [name_f]Alyssa[/name_f]. Mostly because of the [name_f]Mary[/name_f]-[name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] [name_m]Olsen[/name_m] movie, It Takes Two. I was a bit obsessed with their movies when I was a kid.

I cant remember anymore names that I used to like although Im sure there were plenty that were trendy and awful.

Now I love [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] for girls. [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] is definitely my favorite girl name and if I ever have a daughter that will probably be her name.

For boys I love [name_m]Callum[/name_m], [name_u]Dexter[/name_u], [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], [name_m]Dalton[/name_m] (I adore this name especially with the middle name [name_u]James[/name_u] but everyone I tell it to says it reminds them of [name_f]Dulce[/name_f] which is a seaweed snack popular in Atlantic [name_f]Canada[/name_f]), [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m], and [name_m]Declan[/name_m]. I like boys names now more girls names.

I remember that the only name I really loved when I was younger was [name_f]Emily[/name_f]. I didn’t think much about boy names. I also remember I had an obsession with unissex names (which I still have a bit), like [name_u]Dylan[/name_u], [name_u]Jordan[/name_u] or [name_u]Tyler[/name_u].

[name_f]My[/name_f] name taste hasn’t changed much. I still love more classic and vintage names. [name_f]My[/name_f] favourites now are [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] and [name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f]. I also like [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], but it’s getting so popular that I’m starting to unlike it.

For boys my favourites are [name_m]Matthew[/name_m], [name_m]David[/name_m] and [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], and, for me, [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is the perfect middle name. I actually like the pair @sellons presented, [name_m]Dalton[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]. I also love the name [name_u]James[/name_u] and I think it goes very well with [name_m]Dalton[/name_m].

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite unissex names right now are [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u], [name_u]Avery[/name_u] and [name_u]Tyler[/name_u], though I think the first two fit better a girl than a boy, specially [name_u]Avery[/name_u].
