Let me start by saying I love your naming style!

Sofia [name_u]Marie[/name_u]- This name is lovely for a girl. It is soft and feminine. I picture a quieter girl who is quite smart and can be more outgoing after you get to know her. She’s secretly really funny but you’d only know if you sat and talked with her.

Josephine [name_f]Lily[/name_f]- She seems very brave. I picture a girl who climbs to the top of trees and runs around without shoes. She’s outgoing and will talk to anyone.

Valerie [name_f]Aylin[/name_f]- I picture a very pretty, intelligent business woman with dark hair who loves to wear bright colors.

Alaina [name_f]Faye[/name_f]- [name_f]Faye[/name_f] always makes me think of tricksters so I picture a prankster. She’s more of a wild child with a kind heart.

Tessa [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]- This name feels wonderfully strong to me. She is a woman who can stand up for herself and others but the softness of [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] works on a little girl as well. It makes me think of [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_m]Thompson[/name_m] who plays empowering characters and I feel is a good namesake and [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_m]Wiley[/name_m] who doesn’t let people walk all over her.

Nathan [name_m]Troy[/name_m]- This one definitely feels like a football player to me. The kind type of football player. Sort of himbo like but not dumb.

Wesley [name_u]Noah[/name_u]- [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] reminds me of [name_m]Westley[/name_m] from the princess bride so I picture a smart yet goofy boy. Think AP class clown.

Andrew [name_u]Michael[/name_u]- Reminds me of [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_m]Hall[/name_m] so basically just the nerd from the Breakfast Club.

Theo [name_u]Hayes[/name_u]- [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]Hayes[/name_u] sounds like he would be fun to be around. I picture the life of the party or maybe an athlete.

Ashton [name_u]Everett[/name_u]- I feel like [name_u]Ashton[/name_u] could be a troublemaker. But at the same time I picture a sophisticated adult so maybe he grows up and matures.

William [name_m]Grant[/name_m]- This is a nice strong name. I feel like this boy would be smart and kind. [name_m]William[/name_m] can fit so many personalities but I only have good associations with [name_m]Williams[/name_m]. [name_m]Grant[/name_m] makes me think of a giving person and it is [name_m]Captain[/name_m] [name_u]America[/name_u]’s middle name So good, kind associations all around.

Lucas [name_u]Owen[/name_u]- This name is softer to me so I picture more of a shy boy. All the Lucases and [name_m]Owens[/name_m] I know are funny and coincidentally blonde so that also plays into what I see.

I hope this what you wanted. This was fun!!

My names if anyone wants to:
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] “[name_f]Gen[/name_f]”
[name_f]Octavia[/name_f] [name_u]Ren[/name_u]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Astoria[/name_f]

Ambrose [name_u]Dean[/name_u]
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m]
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] [name_m]Knight[/name_m]
[name_m]Draco[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
[name_m]Adonis[/name_m] [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]

Thank you! I loved all your answers, it was so cool to hear such different perspectives than what I usually think of! I also loved your reference to [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_m]Wiley[/name_m], never initially connected her to the name since I’ve admired it for years, but she’s such a cool gal I love it!

Your naming style is so dramatic in the best way possible and gives off a fantasy feel, I hope someone replies to your list! If not, I will!
Thanks again!!!

Genevieve [name_f]Arwen[/name_f]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] and [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] add a little spunk to the classic, and sophisticated name [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]. I just imagine of a girl loves fashion.
[name_f]Octavia[/name_f] [name_u]Ren[/name_u]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Octavia[/name_f] and [name_u]Ren[/name_u], but I do prefer the [name_u]Wren[/name_u] spelling. I just picture the actress [name_f]Octavia[/name_f], and I forget her last name
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Astoria[/name_f]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] both names. But not so much together. I imagine a girl who loves to read and write, but also loves to go on adventures.
[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] [name_u]Dean[/name_u]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] both names, especially [name_u]Dean[/name_u], but sadly not so much together. I imagine a rebel with a heart of gold who will fight for what’s right.
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] this combo! I picture a detective with this name.
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] [name_m]Knight[/name_m]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] the combo! I imagine a charm, young male going to law school like [name_m]Preston[/name_m] or [name_u]Yale[/name_u].
[name_m]Draco[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]- Not a fan of [name_m]Draco[/name_m], but love [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]! I picture a male who loves to help kids.
[name_m]Adonis[/name_m] [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] the name, especially [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]! I picture a popular boy, who grows up to be an actor

I love these names so much I had to reply!

Sage [name_f]Amethyst[/name_f]- I absolutely love [name_f]Amethyst[/name_f] and the combo of [name_u]Sage[/name_u] [name_f]Amethyst[/name_f] is perfect! I imagine a free spirited young girl who lives life to the beat of her own drum! She is admired by those around her and lights up any room she walks into! She loves dressing up and turning any day into a special occasion. Although she means well at times she can come off as pretentious but at the end of the day makes everything right with those she loves.

Gia [name_u]Camille[/name_u]- Personally not my favourites but I like [name_f]Gia[/name_f] and think it goes quite well with [name_u]Camille[/name_u]! I think of a studious young girl who is more shy than anything but once you get to know her she can be quite rambunctious! She has her sights set on a prestigious school such as [name_m]Harvard[/name_m] or [name_u]Yale[/name_u] where she will study to become a lawyer and help others. Has a heart of gold and a beautiful smile!

Delilah [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]- I love these names so much and they go together beautifully! I picture a little girl who loves the outdoors and picking flowers. She never turns down a moment to socialize but also loves time to herself when she can write her own adventure stories or read past her bedtime hiding under her blankets hoping no one will notice she’s awake. She’s her Mom’s best friend and loves spending time with her baking in the kitchen making lifelong memories she will always hold close to her heart.

Nora [name_f]Belle[/name_f]- Such sweet names and they work amazing together. I think of a younger girl who’s mature far beyond her years. She loves to spend time with her parents and hear stories from those older than her and loves to educate her peers in all topics! I picture her to grow up and run her own flower shop where she knows anything and everything about what’s in her shop and loves to bring the beauty of nature to everyone she meets!

Willow [name_f]Raine[/name_f]- I love [name_u]Willow[/name_u] and adding [name_f]Raine[/name_f] gives it such a nice touch! I imagine a girl who loves rainy days (no pun intended) and overall finds the beauty in everything, even the bad. As optimistic as she can be, she can still be quite sensitive and aware of her feelings which allows her to sympathize with others and create deep lifelong connections with those around her! She loves music and definitely uses it to create a soundtrack to her life. I’m thinking Bon [name_m]Iver[/name_m] and [name_m]Sufjan[/name_m] Stevens vibes but also the softer sounds of [name_f]Norah[/name_f] [name_m]Jones[/name_m] to amplify the high times in her life.

Hudson [name_u]Grey[/name_u]- I am seeing an athlete for sure. However, he’s not like most athletes in his school. He’s caring and is a bit of a book nerd and more of an introvert than anything else. He loves the simple and small things in life and never takes a day for granted. His favourite thing is to go fishing with his dad and share stories around a campfire throwing a ball because at the end of the day he is an athlete and loves the game!

Maddox [name_u]Wilder[/name_u]- I am conflicted with this name, I love both but each each one gives me a different feeling! I think [name_u]Maddox[/name_u] [name_u]Wilder[/name_u] would be the perfect good bad boy… if that makes sense. He would be a bit of a trouble maker and has a reputation but those who are close to him know he’s a sweetheart who finds joys in the simple things like reading, writing and having conversations of any degree. He’s more of a vigilante than anything! I think of someone very much like [name_u]Jess[/name_u] from [name_m]Gilmore[/name_m] Girls.

Tristan [name_u]Storm[/name_u]- He comes from a small town but that doesn’t decide where he goes in his future. I see a strong young man who is bound for the big screen! His love for film and acting make him quite the outgoing boy who will hold a conversation with anyone willing to listen and he’ll babble on about truly anything. He will go above and beyond for those close to him but can find himself in many predicaments due to his call of fame. He always tries his best to work things out and make things right and at the end of the day is still learning but always manages to put a smile on everyone’s face.

Logan [name_u]Miles[/name_u]- He’s a total bad boy. He loves the attention his reputation gets him and although his actions aren’t driven by bad motives, he can’t seem to correct his ways. He’s charismatic and adores cracking jokes at others. He’s very much a ladies man and has a big group of friends for what’s more like morale and social status than the quality of friendship. I see him changing ever so slightly and always being a ladies man but eventually learns to switch out the bad boy attitude for a more forgiving one. I see him working in an auto body shop where he crafts his passion for cars and restoring older vintage vehicles.

Since I already posted my list, next poster use this same list!
