Exactly what the title says! I found a notebook from when I was 9 and found it interesting to see how my taste has changed! [name_m]Feel[/name_m] free to give your thoughts on 9 year old Martha’s names

Nine-year-old you had much better taste than nine-year-old me! I love [name_m]George[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m] and [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f].

Really interested by [name_m]Stanley[/name_m] and [name_m]Harold[/name_m], they seem to stand out against the classics and Nameberry fairy tale style names (Matilda, [name_f]Winifred[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], Alice). Are they honour names for you or did 9-year-old you just enjoy them.
[name_f][/name_f]
Also [name_f]Fifi[/name_f] for [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] is really cute.

9 year old you had some pretty good taste for a 9 year old! Definitely much better than mine! When I was 9 I wanted to name my future daughter [name_f]Grace[/name_f] and I still love that name but I wanted her last name to be my maiden name (my maiden name is Case) I wanted to have a daughter named [name_f]Grace[/name_f] Case😭

First of all, what a treasure that you found this!
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Pretty[/name_f] “mature” style for a 9 year old I’d say. At that age I still thought [name_m]Martin[/name_m], [name_f]Martina[/name_f] & [name_m]Martino[/name_m] were a good sibling set 
[name_f][/name_f]
I especially love [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] [name_f]Rubi[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] (the audacity!)
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Stanley[/name_m] [name_m]Robert[/name_m] and [name_m]Logan[/name_m] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] also have my fullest approval.

Damn, nine-year-old you had good taste! Evidently, you held a preference for the classics, creating a pleasant and familiar list of combos. Among your masculine selection, I favor [name_m]Logan[/name_m] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], [name_m]George[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m], [name_m]Harold[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]James[/name_m], [name_m]Dylan[/name_m] [name_m]Rhys[/name_m], and [name_m]Edward[/name_m] [name_m]James[/name_m]. Among your feminine selection, I favor [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f], and [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f].

I feel like all of these would make suitable options for children in the future, if you intend to have any.

I think 9-year-old [name_f]Martha[/name_f] had taste far superior to 19-year-old [name_m]Ashley[/name_m] even

[name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_m]Adam[/name_m] and [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]! I wish I had my own journals from that age, but I remember [name_f]Vivia[/name_f] and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] on my list lol.

[name_m]Logan[/name_m] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] → fairly sure [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_m]Logan[/name_m] was on my list at one point in the past 
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]George[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m] → very classic/royal family vibes
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Harold[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Harry[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] → clunky and distinctive, must admit I don’t love [name_m]Harold[/name_m] or [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_m]Adam[/name_m] → classic with a touch of the 2000s
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_m]Michael[/name_m] → sort of timeless/classic [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] is cool
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Stanley[/name_m] [name_m]Robert[/name_m] → old man vibes with a hint of [name_f]British[/name_f] style
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Charlie[/name_m] [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- solid, sort of always in style kind of name
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]James[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Will[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] → these are two of my least fave names in one combo 
[name_f][/name_f] (sorry!)
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Dylan[/name_m] [name_m]Rhys[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- strong, Welsh vibes [name_f][/name_f]- pretty charming
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Edward[/name_m] [name_m]James[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- classic, royal feeling
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] → sweet, simple and stylish
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Ettie[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] → charming and [name_f]Ettie[/name_f] is lovely
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] → pretty and strong
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] → cosy and vintage
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Fifi[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] → I like [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] and [name_f]Fifi[/name_f] is unexpected
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Bianca[/name_f] [name_f]Rubi[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Bee[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] → zippy and fun.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Winifred[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Winnie[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] → flows well and feels very berry
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Jenny[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] → 70s vibes
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Clara[/name_f] → light and sweet
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] → a bit matchy for me but potential for Lylou or [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] is cool

That’s adorable, I’d love a little sibset [name_m]Charlie[/name_m], [name_f]Willow[/name_f] & [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]. [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] & [name_f]Winnifred[/name_f] too! I feel like I love these names now but didn’t see the charm or cute nn potential as a kid, so I’m impressed with 9 year old you!! I think when I was 9 I was just obsessed with the name [name_f]Crystal[/name_f]. It’s no longer a name I’d keep on my baby name radar at all lol.

9-year-old you had surprisingly varied taste; at that age I was only obsessed with the name [name_f]Lily[/name_f], thanks to [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m].
[name_f][/name_f]
The boys’ names especially are great; I’m quite taken with [name_m]Edward[/name_m] [name_m]James[/name_m]. And [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] (shouldn’t work, but it does).
you had wonderful taste at nine! i wanted to name my daughter december fern when i was nine years old
