When my berryversary rolls around, I love to celebrate the names I currently love! I feel that my style grows so much each year, and if I keep this tradition up, these posts will hopefully become lovely little time capsules. This year I made the same “what is your worldwide name” game as last year but with my current loves, and I also have request that I don’t think I’ve ever made for as long as I’ve been on Nameberry!
what is your worldwide name? 
for the first names, use the first letter of your irl or nb name
for the middles, use the first letter of your favorite name for that gender!

I’d be fasana hayati 
or hafiz kafi 
I’d love to hear what you get! 
and for my unusual request… I’m looking for inspiration! I’d appreciate suggestions for names you think I might like from your own language and beyond. I’ll post 30 names that I love for each gender. If anyone wants to have fun and give it a shot I’d be so happy!

[name_m]The[/name_m] quickest way I can describe my style is “groovy global.” All of the names I love either have great personal significance in my life or otherwise have a meaning that I connect with greatly. I’m quick to connect with names that relate to music, dance, poetry, storytelling, nature, and religion. [name_m]The[/name_m] wider variety of languages on my name list the better, though my favorites will almost always end up coming from Sanskrit or Arabic. I tend to prefer softer, shorter sounds for boys and harder, more complicated sounds for girls. I also love a good classic hippie name

It would take forever to type up pronunciations for every name on here, but if anyone has specific questions, please ask!
phew, 6 years! [name_m]Even[/name_m] more grateful to be a part of this community than ever before. [name_m]You[/name_m] often don’t realize the value of something until you’re faced with the possibility of losing it lots of love to this wonderful community filled with creative people!

[name_m]You[/name_m] might like [name_f]Iskra[/name_f] for a girl, it’s one of my recent crushes. It means “spark”.
