Normal people: [name_u]Sky[/name_u], [name_u]Ash[/name_u], [name_f]Amber[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], and [name_f]Joy[/name_f] are my favorite word names!
Berries: [name_f]Arabesque[/name_f], [name_u]Bravery[/name_u], [name_u]Love[/name_u], [name_u]Ember[/name_u], [name_u]Onyx[/name_u], and [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u] are my favorite word names!!
Me trying to organize my name list is a meme in itself- on my 29 page doc, I have a ‘master list’, ‘full list’, ‘culled list’, ‘semi-favorites’, ‘long favorites’, ‘favorites’ and ‘absolute favorites’. All of those for single names, and then all of those for combos. I also have a list OF lists, categorizing my names; Some of my categories are also in my master list, but some of my categories are not also in my master list. I have names that I have deemed ‘eclectic’ even though something individual can’t be eclectic; just ones that seem that way to me. I have a full page of combinations with [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]; and when I find an interesting thread I’ll copy and paste a list from it into my doc. When I find new names, I put it into google keep (like a notes thing) and then later transfer it to my doc. The problem was, at one point I put my google doc list in alphabetical order but didn’t do that to my google keep list, so I could never tell if something on google keep had been added to my google doc. I devised a new system, but the pain remains. And if I find a new name I really like, I have to add it to the master list, the full list, the culled list, the semi-favorites, etc. All the way up! So I usually just take time every so often to do a mass rearrangement of the doc. It’s very very painful.
Okay, I just had to bring this to the bottom of the thread, my stomach hurts from laughing so much!!! :[name_f]Joy[/name_f]:
([name_f]Mulan[/name_f], anyone?)
hah I may have changed it on the wrong day, but we at the least have birthdays a day apart!

@YoullneverseemeagainafterInamemychild: Hey all, I am new here. I am pregnant with my first child, a girl, and am looking for a name. I love the name [name_u]Rainy[/name_u], but our friend’s second cousin has that name. I also like the names [name_f]Pixie[/name_f], [name_f]Faye[/name_f], and [name_u]Willow[/name_u], any suggestions along those lines? I don’t want any names longer than two syllables or vintage/old fashioned names.
@the_grumpy_killjoy: I hate [name_u]Rainy[/name_u]. [name_f]Pixie[/name_f] too. They sound gross and made up. [name_f]My[/name_f] suggestions are [name_f]Geraldine[/name_f], [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f], [name_f]Millicent[/name_f], and Wilhemina.
@YoullneverseemeagainafterInamemychild: Thanks for the support @the_grumpy_killjoy!! I love [name_f]Geraldine[/name_f]!!
@theIndecisiveCupCakeCutie: [name_f]Pixie[/name_f] ♀ is soooo sweet!!! I LOVE [name_f]Faye[/name_f] as well and [name_u]Willow[/name_u] is super adorable. Whichever one you choose will be great!!!
@thepickypumpkin: I like [name_f]Faye[/name_f] but spelled Phayieee if you don’t spell it like that I hate it
@TheActuallyHelpfulAxolotl: OMG You have my style exactly!!! I suggest [name_f]Cherry[/name_f], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], and [name_f]Alina[/name_f]. I love [name_u]Willow[/name_u], but [name_f]Pixie[/name_f] is one of my guilty pleasures. I would suggest using it as a middle because it might not age well. [name_f]Faye[/name_f] is super cute, but [name_u]Willow[/name_u] is still my fave.
@IthinkIhavethewrongthread: Thanks, [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] is the one I’m leaning towards, as it reminds me of my days at the camp. I think it would be sooo cute and I can imagine calling that little fuzzball [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] and him barking back!
@YoullneverseemeagainafterInamemychild: Thanks guys for all you support! I decided on [name_f]Ava[/name_f]!
Me making my signature when I first joined (after trying for days to figure out how to create it):
Okay, well, I like this name, and I like this name… I guess they go together! Bam! Okay, and… I don’t really like either of these names but they flow really well! I’ll add them!
Me making my user card now:
Pain. So much pain. [name_u]Read[/name_u] above for my name list organization, and envision that being squeezed and condensed into just a few names for my user card.
Also:
One day, I see [name_f]Meera[/name_f].
Thoughts- Hmmm, I’m indifferent to that. [name_m]Don[/name_m]’t really notice it.
3 weeks later, I see [name_f]Meara[/name_f]-
Ew, reminds me of smear
3 weeks after that, I see [name_f]Mira[/name_f]-
Oooooh! So pretty!
I completely agree about [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]!
(sorry, this is unnecessary and unwarranted and I really didn’t need to state my opinion, just so excited to have found someone who shares my opinion!)
There are few things sadder (@dogs_books last post is one of them) than when you get tons of positive comments about a name you were unsure about and you start to love it, then that one person just HAS to say it’s horrible and a grandma name or sounds bad or something.
