hello everybody!

this is inspired by @EleanorVintage’s lovely post.

i’m going to leave my boy’s list, and i’d love for you to pick ten favorites and ten least favorites. (or any number less than ten is alright too!)

I feel for me the ten favorites were the easiest to narrow down. I read your list and was then able to recall them easily. With the other list [name_u]Kit[/name_u] stood out the most and stayed in my head…. The rest I had to keep looking back but then when my list was filled i realized Inthink it’s just the word names that just bug me—- I’m not anti-word names just those particular ones come across as more like a word in a dictionary then a name in database

hannahwren · August 4, 2021, 3:57am

Thank you for responding! I’ve never thought of the spelling [name_u]Freddy[/name_u], how sweet!

hannahwren · August 4, 2021, 3:58am

thank you [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]

the names just seem dreamier when you list them for some reason!

hannahwren · August 4, 2021, 3:59am

I’m delightfully surprised, because I didn’t expect Barnaby to be a favorite!

Thanks for your help!

hannahwren · August 4, 2021, 4:00am

Thank you

and YES someone listed [name_m]Jago[/name_m] as a favorite ~
