How would you describe my taste in names?

Girl Names
1

After being on nameberry for a while, I have found how entertaining it is, eye=opening, and intriguing. I do my best at attempting to help people and objectively provide lists for them based on their taste.
COmpared to many other nameberries here, I seem to have odd taste in names. I like many unusual, quirky, some classic, or odd nickname choices compared to other folks here.
I don’t really see my odd taste as a negative, I am just curious as to how you might label my taste.
I notice many berries like frilly or old-fashioned and classic names. I have no clue how to categorize my style.
So my questions are:
[name_m]How[/name_m] would you describe your own taste in names?
What do you think of my list of girls names, and how would your categorize my style?

Country, natur-y, rodeo, farms, South, mountains… This is what I think of.

3

Whimsical nature. I think that’s what it is. :slight_smile:

4

I agree that they sound very whimsical… kind of elf-ish to me. Some of them sound very classic and upper-class, and others sound like the names of fairies.

5

You love names from many “style families” (classic, mythological, nature, vintage, unisex etc…) that your name style can be called “eclectic” like many Berries. :slight_smile:

6

I agree with above-whimsical nature, but with a lot of style families combined :slight_smile: Your taste is a little bit of everything :slight_smile:

7

I can not even describe my own taste in names very well. :wink: I would say you have a nature, eclectic taste.

8

Thank you everyone. This helps :slight_smile:

I would probably describe your taste as eclectic, though you seem to veer toward nature-inspired names. I’m guessing that for each name, you have a specific reason why you like it (whether because it evokes a particular image or brings to mind a time in your past… or perhaps of the sound or nickname). I noticed you grouped the names, probably for reasons that only you know. For whatever reason, they’re grouped for you. For that reason, I think, if you’re like me, if you can figure out the memories you want to evoke, you can ask for help getting there. Otherwise, it’s kind of hit or miss.
