An few theme of names I love are rare names, names with beautiful meanings and or history behind it. Also love unisex names, and names with letters that aren’t frequently used as often.

What are some of your favourite themes of names?

I love mythology names, celestial names, literary names, and almost anything with a -th or -ph! (not sure why, it’s probably soothing to the old synaesthesia)

I like names that are variants of more familiar names, literary names and slightly-wordy-naturey-type names

For girls, I tend to lean more toward timeless classics, with a few “old lady” names sprinkled in there. For boys, it is flipped with mostly dated, yet charming names.

Hm … mostly mythological names, Scandinavian names, obscure nature names, a few “old lady” names such as [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] or [name_f]Mathilda[/name_f], names ending in -line or -lina, and names ending in -ia. I also enjoy Arabic names a great deal, and names with poetic meanings, à la Alsu ("rose-colored water). :slight_smile: This is such an interesting thread to read !

I love names that are airy, energetic, and vowel-heavy. At the same time, I like a name with a powerful or strong meaning, something that says, “I’m perfect and wonderfully made, and no one can tell me otherwise.”

Mythology names and nature names are perennial favorites of mine. I tend to favor names that are either consonant heavy or have an equal number of consonants and vowels. Two and three syllable names dominate my list, with obvious exceptions.

I love nature names, mythological names and names connected to the earth in any way. I don’t usually like names starting with G or K, it’s a Synesthesia thing. I like names with meaningful and beautiful meanings.

I have a ton of names I like with -ie nicknames including a whole list of -y full names that have -ie nicknames. [name_f]Celestial[/name_f] names. Also names that have matching amounts of letters or similar elemants like all have a double letter or more obvious themes like all bird names or all flowers in the middle.

I have a great appreciate for mythology names, celestial names, biblical, and really anything. But that’s just what my taste is. I also don’t mind a good classic or something more unusual.

I love Icelandic nature and word names, and also Greek mythology names, rare virtue names, Hebrew names, and short and spunky names for girls.

I like mythology names, celestial names, nature names, and “old fashioned” names! I like names that are flowy and approachable, that seem familiar but are not too popular, two-three syllables with many nickname options, and usually have more consonants than vowels
