It’s funny how many IN_ _s there are here. I’m gonna start a poll in a new thread to see what personality type most people on this site are, to see if there’s any correlation between a fascination with names and personality type.
I’m an INTJ (woot woot, @hyacinthbucket!) and based on my typecasts of the berries (Here), I’m an uncommon-but-known-ist, transitional, botanist, traveller, and classic berry. I’m not very adventurous with first names (Well, I’d name a kid Adrasteia but I wouldn’t name them Abbielonie or something) but I am adventurous with middles (Like Wildrose).
However, I think that the personality type more affects the naming PROCESS and the way people look at names than the names they actually like. Whether people choose names based on their meaning, their sound, their significance in family, or whatever else can be affected. Also, one personality type might change their entire style several times a week, while others stay true to their favorites. One personality type might be going in one direction with their naming process and then suddenly turn it around multiple times while others might not even have a process, they just write down what sounds good.
I’ll continue this once I gather more thoughts on it!
