I thought this was going to be, like, the Wheel of Nameberry Faves, right? Well, let’s just say it was more… interesting than that.
[name_f][/name_f]So I decided to break it down. See what sorts of names were actually[name_f][/name_f] on the wheel. And how Berry-worthy it really is.
[name_f][/name_f]The results (aka a bunch of name-related brain vomit):
[name_f][/name_f]*also I’ve roughly broken these down into masc/femme names for my own convenience but it doesn’t really matter
[name_f][/name_f]1. [name_f]Berry[/name_f] Faves
[name_f][/name_f]As the title suggests.
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Atlas[/name_m], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Brynn[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Maren[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f], [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]
2. [name_m]Long[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f]Extravagant enough for the taste of a [name_f]Berry[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f](some of these may actually be [name_f]Berry[/name_f] faves themselves but I didn’t want to put them in that category unless I was absolutely sure)

Comments:
[name_f][/name_f]- [name_f][/name_f]
- Honestly, this wheel was more in line with [name_f]Berry[/name_f] tastes than I thought it would be. Other than 3.3, the ones in 6 and 7 that were more on the nose, and 9 and 10 for those who are bothered about popularity, these are all names that Berries (in general) would like (if not love), and the ones that were ‘not ok’ aren’t, like, hellishly bad either. Kudos to whoever made this
- On that note, the ‘uncategorized’ are far from bad-I really just have nowhere to put them (I also wanted to further break down category 2 but it ended up just being by ending sounds sooo) [name_f][/name_f]
- I know we’ve been talking about surname names, but I didn’t expect there to be so many the wheel, especially ones I wasn’t familiar with! I was also kinda expecting more femme options (the wheel only has [name_f]Sheridan[/name_f] and maybe Hale) along the lines of [name_f]Hilary[/name_f] Duff’s girls but it’s probably just me
- (puts on bulletproof fireproof lightningproof vest again) People who agree with the title of category 9 need to chill out [name_f][/name_f]
- Poor [name_m]Wally[/name_m]. His name has been eternally tainted and we still have no idea where he is. [name_f][/name_f]
So… Thoughts? I have a feeling I’m actually going to get roasted for this one so feel free to do so:) What are your favourites? Mine are [name_m]Atlas[/name_m], [name_f]Brynn[/name_f], [name_m]Lorcan[/name_m], [name_m]Roman[/name_m] and [name_f]Snow[/name_f]! (yes I know I’m boring lol)
