hey everyone! it’s a new month, so i’ll give a little refresher on what’s happening here <3
last december in the quick poll thread, i polled all of my notd’s until hazel and rowan became our “names of the year!” however, it took me wayyy too long to do, and it was so disorganized because of my late start. so i’ve decided to start early! this year, i’ve been collecting the name meanings of my notd’s! i’m not choosing based on the meaning, but you will!
the past winners!!
these names have all won based on their meanings!
January:
Iyla, Sunniva, Estelle
Truman, Nikolai, Constantin
February:
Charlotte, Amy, Celia / Celine
Valentin, Charles, Nathaniel
March:
Beatrice, Winnie, Sunny
Arledge, Lennox, Colin
April:
Marilla, Lucy, Clara / Clare
Anatole, Samson, Alex
today we’ll be doing may and june, since i missed a bit of may and june is very short <3
I tend to not poll names if a variant has already won in a different month, so I won’t be polling names like Bee or Alexandra!
