I was going through my Google Docs and found one with the names in my signature from [name_f]May[/name_f] 2016. It’s so interesting to see the difference in my taste and combo-making skills from then to now. I was for sure more adventurous in some ways! Some of them are definitely not the best flow-wise, but others I was pleasantly surprised by.
I actually think the flow of all of those is fine. Maybe I’m crazy, but they also seem very similar style wise as your names today, especially in your crushes list. It is definitely weird to look back though! I have lists from way back in 2013, and some of those are very cringey to me now!
[name_f]Kaelyn[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f] [name_u]Skye[/name_u]
[name_m]Kyler[/name_m] [name_m]Jacob[/name_m]
[name_m]Cason[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
You get the point
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Plum[/name_f] is so cute and [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is so glamorous! [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Mayve[/name_f], [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] are cute too!!
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m] is dreamy, and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_m]Graham[/name_m] is sturdy and cool! I like [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] too
I unfortunately don’t have any of them saved, but I remember a couple! [name_f]Alessia[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f], [name_m]Lukas[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]. Out of all these there the only one I’d still use is [name_f]Snow[/name_f], and maybe [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] so it’s pretty crazy to see how much my taste’s changed!
Those are fab! If I had to pick one boy and one girl from your 2016 list, I’d have to go with [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] (I see [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]’s still a favourite!) and [name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m], which is just stunning.
I haven’t got mine saved anywhere, unfortunately, but some I remember are…
Wish I’d saved some of mine. The impermanence of the signature function has always bothered me a little (I’ve been on this website for about a decade at this point, good god) but it’s kinda impractical to save entire signatures at a time. I know I have in the past but not in a place that’s super accessible.
HOWEVER I was looking over some old threads I made a long time ago and really it surprised me how similar my style is. [name_m]Even[/name_m] some names that feel ‘’new’’ on my list (ones me and SO are genuinely considering for real kids) I had been mulling over years prior and forgotten about. I mean… like I said it’s been a long long time I’ve been here and even longer I’ve had an interest in names. But the past 7 or so years have really just been fine tuning in terms of style, nothing incredibly different.
I’ll see if I can find some of my older combos though!
