So I feel as though I have a list… albeit a very long one! I would love any feedback you have the time to give. In particular, you can tell me what you love/ hate and why (I wont be offended by any harsh criticism, there are a few I’m still not entirely sure of myself), what names you would group together as usable as siblings (I know there are a few different styles going around in there) and finally of there are any names you would like to suggest that I might like. Thank you… and here is the list as it stands:
Boys
Alexander
Arlo
Asher
August
Aurelien
Beau
Beckett
Charles
Dane
Darcy
Emerson
Evander
Harold
Hugo
Isaac
Jasper
Joel
Lachlan
Miles
Nash
Samuel
Samson
Shepherd
Soren
Spencer
Walter
William
Xavier
Zane
[name]Enid[/name] (oooh, I forgot how much I like this name!)
[name]Florence[/name]
[name]Freya[/name]
[name]Lenore[/name]
[name]Minerva[/name]
[name]Nora[/name]
[name]Pearl[/name]
I love your girls list! At the bottom for me are [name]Marigold[/name], [name]Florence[/name] and [name]Helena[/name], but that’s just personal preference. I don’t have anything particularly bad to say about them.
Boys list I’m more like 50/50 on… my favorites are [name]Jasper[/name], [name]Soren[/name], [name]Samson[/name], [name]Xavier[/name] and [name]Nash[/name].
I will go ahead and rank my top 5 from your girl and boy lists!
Girls
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Francesca[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name]
[name]Nora[/name]
Boys (6 instead of 5)
[name]Lachlan[/name]
[name]Beau[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name]
[name]Walter[/name]
[name]Isaac[/name]
[name]Spencer[/name]
OOH, and I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Darcy[/name] for a boy, I wish people would stop naming their girls that! It is definitely a name that needs to be reclaimed by the boys!
I love these:
[name]Abigail[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Francesca[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name]
[name]Iris[/name]
[name]Lenora[/name]
[name]Rose[/name]
I dislike these:
[name]Beatrix[/name]- I just like [name]Beatrice[/name] SO much better. The x is trying too hard.
[name]Daisy[/name]- I don’t hate it, I just think it’s too nicknamey for a full.
[name]Pearl[/name], [name]Enid[/name]- awkward and clunky sounding
[name]Marigold[/name]
[name]Minerva[/name]- too [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name]
[name]Lila[/name]
[name]Lola[/name]
[name]Eulalie[/name]- I just feel dumb when I say it. It’s nice when other people say it, but I always feel like I’m pronouncing it wrong and it makes me feel like an idiot.
Boys
I really like:
[name]August[/name]
[name]Aurelien[/name]
[name]Beckett[/name]
[name]Soren[/name]
[name]Isaac[/name]
[name]Joel[/name]- Doesn’t get the love I think it deserves!
[name]Lachlan[/name]
I like, but a bit nickname-y:
[name]Beau[/name]
[name]Nash[/name]
I dislike:
[name]Dane[/name]- Dated
[name]Darcy[/name]
[name]Walter[/name], [name]Harold[/name]- the catch-22 of you have to be very cool to be able to wear these names, but I can’t imagine anyone named [name]Walter[/name] or [name]Harold[/name] being cool. They’re nerdy names to me.
[name]Jasper[/name]- Nameberry loves this name, but I just don’t get it. It’s all [name]Casper[/name] the friendly ghost to me, and it also reminds me of “Jeepers”
[name]Shepherd[/name]- a bit too wordy for me
[name]Spencer[/name]
[name]Zane[/name]
[name]Alexander[/name], [name]Samuel[/name] and [name]Helena[/name]
[name]Aurelien[/name], [name]Marguerite[/name] and [name]Xavier[/name]
[name]Hugo[/name], [name]Jasper[/name] and [name]Cecily[/name]
[name]August[/name], [name]Iris[/name] and [name]Florence[/name]
