Let's Talk Favorites =]

I know there are several lists similar to these, but I can’t find them right now lol I just wanted to share my favorite names with you. What’re yours?

I couldn’t put these in order. It was just too difficult

Boys:

[name]Ethan[/name]
[name]Cameron[/name]
[name]August[/name] (I’m so in love with this name!)
[name]Jason[/name]

Girls:

[name]Autumn[/name] (my fav for the longest!)
[name]Esperanza[/name]
[name]Bella[/name] (don’t hate me. I know it’s super popular and usually a nn but I think it’s sooo beautiful!)
[name]Alexa[/name]

ps Please don’t take my !'s as me yelling. It just means I’m excited lol

That’s an attractive list!

It’s hard to narrow it down so it might end up being whichever favorites pop into my head first :slight_smile:

Girls:
[name]Nadia[/name]
[name]Eve[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name]
[name]Simone[/name]
[name]Alana[/name]
[name]Veronica[/name]
[name]Gabrielle[/name]
[name]Serena[/name]
[name]Keira[/name]
[name]Noemi[/name]

Boys:
[name]Miles[/name]
[name]Jude[/name]
[name]Sebastian[/name]
[name]Victor[/name]
[name]Elliot[/name]
[name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Daniel[/name]
[name]Andrew[/name]
[name]Kenneth[/name]
[name]Lars[/name]

My name taste is changing from going on Nameberry. I used to love [name]Anna[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Philip[/name], [name]William[/name], and [name]Thomas[/name] so much more than any other names, but I’m starting to really love a bunch of new names as well such as:

Boys:
[name]Lionel[/name] nn [name]Leo[/name]
[name]August[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name]
[name]Dashiell[/name]
[name]Magnus[/name]

Girls:
[name]Freya[/name]
[name]Iona[/name]
[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]

I also still adore the name [name]Veronica[/name] nn [name]Vera[/name]. If I had a baby girl, I’m sure that’s what we would name her because now my husband loves the name [name]Veronica[/name], too. I bet he wouldn’t like [name]Vera[/name]! I also love [name]Cecilia[/name]. I am amazed that there aren’t more Cecilias and Cecilys in the world. Beautiful names!
[name]Love[/name] [name]Henry[/name] so much! I know it’s really popular, but it’s just the best boy’s name right now. It’s the new [name]Andrew[/name]. Also love [name]Theodore[/name] nn [name]Ted[/name]. One day [name]Pam[/name] said she likes the name [name]Ted[/name] and suddenly I love it! Still love [name]Oliver[/name]. Also love [name]Chester[/name], [name]Kenneth[/name], and [name]Bernard[/name], all names from my family.
Of course my kids’ names are incredible: [name]Peter[/name] and [name]Laura[/name].

The best middle names:

Boys:
[name]Andrew[/name]
[name]James[/name]
[name]Philip[/name]
[name]Ross[/name]
[name]Duke[/name]
[name]Clive[/name]/[name]Clyde[/name]

The above names are all from my family except for [name]James[/name] and [name]Clive[/name]. I think that family names are the best!

Girls:
There are so many. I would avoid [name]Rose[/name] because it’s so popular. My fave middles for girls are [name]Jane[/name], [name]Anne[/name], [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Grace[/name] (even though it’s popular because I had an Aunt [name]Grace[/name]), [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Catherine[/name], [name]Ruth[/name], [name]Eve[/name], [name]Lily[/name] and so many more!

Whoa, how did [name]Oliver[/name] not make my short list? I’m fond of that one, too.

You really think my list is attractive? Aw, that really makes me feel special for some reason lol Another name I’ve also been secretly in love with is [name]Benjamin[/name], mainly just for [name]Ben[/name].

I have such a common first name ([name]Meghan[/name]). Growing up, I was always one of at least two other Megans, Meghans, (however else it’s spelled lol) in my class and I always got confused with other people.

Narrowing it down is so hard, but I’ll try!

Girls:
[name]Amelia[/name] (especially nn [name]Lia[/name] - I love this name so much right now!)
[name]Anna[/name] or [name]Annabella[/name] nn [name]Anna[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name] ([name]Bea[/name])
[name]Belle[/name]
[name]Cecily[/name]
[name]Clementine[/name] (nn [name]Emmy[/name])
[name]Elliott[/name] - I like this name better on boys but I do love it on girls and it has special meaning to me.
Esm”
[name]Honor[/name] - I love [name]Honor[/name] but I don’t know if I could use it as a first name.
[name]Imogen[/name]
[name]Isobel[/name] - It’s very popular, but this spelling isn’t as common as some others and I [name]LOVE[/name] it. NN would be [name]Belle[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Lucille[/name] nn [name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Maeve[/name] nn [name]Mae[/name]
[name]Marcie[/name] - I’ve loved [name]Marcie[/name] for a long time but I didn’t like any long forms of it, until I discovered [name]Marceline[/name]. I don’t know if I love that enough to use it though.
[name]Roseanna[/name] or [name]Rosemary[/name] nn [name]Rosie[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Zoey[/name]

Boys:
[name]Alexander[/name] - A family name that I love
[name]Caspian[/name] nn [name]Casper[/name] - I love it, but it’s very out there
[name]Cedric[/name] nn [name]Rich[/name] - I heard the name [name]Rich[/name] and loved it, but I don’t like [name]Richard[/name]. [name]Cedric[/name] is beautiful, though, and I think that [name]Rich[/name] as a nickname isn’t too far fetched?
[name]Dominic[/name]
[name]Elliott[/name] - A very special name, I love [name]Elly[/name] as a nickname but everyone else tells me that it would be horrible for a boy to be called [name]Elly[/name]!
[name]Enzo[/name]
[name]Franklin[/name] nn [name]Frankie[/name]
[name]George[/name]
[name]Hector[/name]
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]Horatio[/name] nn [name]Harry[/name]
Ignotus - another one I could probably never use
[name]Inigo[/name] - I [name]LOVE[/name] this name but it might be too unusual.
[name]Jacob[/name]
[name]James[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name]
[name]Leonardo[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Quinn[/name]
[name]Samson[/name]
[name]Sebastian[/name]
[name]Tobias[/name]

Wow, they’re still really long lists. I can’t bring myself to narrow them down anymore though!
