My Name List - The Pre Nameberry Years

Girl Names

So, the other day I came across a list of girls names I liked before Nameberry (ages 9/10-16 I think?). I cringed at quite a few of these myself, so brace yourselves.

[name_u]Ainsley[/name_u]
[name_f]Serenity[/name_f]
[name_f]Kaylea[/name_f]/Kaeleigh/[name_f]Kayleigh[/name_f]

[name_m]Just[/name_m] thought I’d share the evolution of my style with you all, it made me chuckle :wink:

You actually have some really nice ones on there (mixed in with the Kalleighs and Kayleighs, admittedly.) I really like [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f], [name_f]Gemma[/name_f], and a few of the others. And I’m impressed that you’d heard of/could spell [name_f]Aisling[/name_f] and [name_f]Catriona[/name_f].

Before nameberry, my taste tended to be (ironically) berry favorites. I never kept an actual list, but I remember loving [name_f]Helen[/name_f]/[name_f]Helena[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]… and then even earlier in my life I’d gone through a [name_f]Claudia[/name_f], [name_f]Inez[/name_f] and [name_f]Annika[/name_f] phase. Since joining NB I think my taste has diversified a lot.

I was older with [name_f]Aisling[/name_f] and [name_f]Catriona[/name_f] :stuck_out_tongue: I think I was 15 with those. I had a big Irish phase haha. I admit some I still like, but others I’m like 'o.O how did I even like that?!" I think [name_u]Aspen[/name_u]'s one of the biggest shocks to me.
