@babylemonade

especially Nyssa

No way! LOL! [name]Nyssa[/name] is a name that I would seriously consider for a girl based on Dr Who and if I had a list it would be on there. I also like the actress’s name too that played [name]Nyssa[/name] - [name]Sarah[/name] [name]Sutton[/name].

From Dr Who Universe, I quite like [name]Amelia[/name] / [name]Amy[/name] too now.

I do like [name]Amelia[/name] a lot more than I did, but [name]Amy[/name] was super trendy in my generation, so I guess it feels tired. Which is weird, because I would think [name]Donna[/name] would feel even more tired, but [name]Donna[/name] > almost everything. It’s amazing how a person, even fictional, can change your perspective! (This happened with [name]Romana[/name] too, which is not really my style, but [name]Romana[/name] is so awesome that I even have a vague fondness for [name]Lalla[/name] now too, which is just silly!) [name]Sarah[/name] [name]Sutton[/name] is a great name, and I borrow her surname frequently when I need a pseudonym for something.
