Aww I’ve loved walking down memory lane with you all! I wish I could remember all the names that were super popular at one point! I feel like I’m missing so many but it was really hard to get to actual posts from like 2011 lol.
Yes! [name_f]Capella[/name_f] is so fun. I love her too.
I think there was a St. [name_m]Junipero[/name_m] or something that several berries mentioned years ago - it always stuck with me! It is very interesting. It’s so weird to think of names like [name_m]Jolyon[/name_m] not being known at all because they were EVERYWHERE when I got here all those years ago!
Yes, just [name_f]Anne[/name_f] + [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]! I feel like Annelotte or [name_f]Annegret[/name_f] or something also used to be pretty popular.
tbh I should’ve been more clear in my OP - some of these were popular on the baby name site I was on before Nameberry - [name_f]Joliet[/name_f] and [name_f]Aubrey[/name_f] for a boy I first came across on a name website run by Nickolodeon back when I was in college, but I love that I’ve seen [name_f]Aubrey[/name_f] quite a bit here too! [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] I’m wondering if I need to add to my own list, I always liked him and love the nn [name_m]Dash[/name_m], but he was just everywhere lol. Now that he’s not… he’s looking real attractive lol.
And yes! [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] and [name_f]Story[/name_f] did have her moment, didn’t she? I tried asking my best friends that used to be on NB but aren’t really anymore and they were just like… “I don’t know what’s still popular on nameberry” lol
I love how excited you are for some of these! But yes, there were lots of babyberries named [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] I think! I remember one berry in particular who had a [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] [name_m]David[/name_m] and then used Flynn… maybe [name_m]Flynn[/name_m] [name_m]Elliot[/name_m]? I always thought [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] and [name_m]Flynn[/name_m] were perfect together! There was another berry who had an [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] “Rory”, [name_m]Conrad[/name_m] “Rad”, and either [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] “Bash” or [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] “Dash” (can’t remember which, but I’m leaning toward Sebastian…), and that was a great sibset too! What HAPPENED to [name_m]Jolyon[/name_m] and [name_f]Joliet[/name_f] and [name_m]Jock[/name_m], they were everywhere back in the day lol. [name_m]Just[/name_m] been randomly thinking about these names that were EVERYWHERE and it would be so cool if they came back.
Oooh someone liked Lisieux! tbh someone asked about this one once and then it spread like wildfire, everyone loved Lisieux! I think it was a place name of a [name_f]French[/name_f] saint, [name_f]Therese[/name_f]? I’m not Catholic so I’m not too familiar with it but it seemed so fun. [name_f]Aurembiaix[/name_f] was another -x ending girls’ name that was EVERYWHERE at one point. I think there’s still a berry with this on her list (maybe @GreenEyes375?), it always makes me think of vintage Nameberry hahaha. There was another berry with [name_f]Maeva[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] and [name_m]Amias[/name_m] [name_m]Jove[/name_m] as her top two picks (I wish I could remember her username, she just came back recently!), and I always admired those!
There used to be a berry who had two boys (I don’t remember their names) but her daughter was [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Rosamel[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f] and that combo lives rent free in my brain forever. I don’t even like [name_f]Rose[/name_f] names in general and don’t think I’d use [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], but [name_f]Rosamel[/name_f] is amazing! There’s another berry who had kiddos named [name_f]Darby[/name_f] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], [name_f]Vale[/name_f] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m], [name_m]Flynn[/name_m] [name_m]Elliot[/name_m], and [name_f]Maud[/name_f] [name_f]Jessica[/name_f], and that also lives rent-free in my brain, I always loved her style even though [name_f]Maud[/name_f] really isn’t my thing. [name_f]Love[/name_f] how excited you are for these hahahaha. I feel like I see [name_m]Zephyr[/name_m] sometimes but I feel like [name_m]Zephyr[/name_m] and [name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f] were on literally 75% of berries lists! It was crazy how popular he was.
[name_f]Io[/name_f] and [name_m]Hector[/name_m]! [name_f]Io[/name_f] is such a cool name, and it was amazing how many [name_f]British[/name_f] berries loved Hector; they talked often about how it didn’t feel like a Latino name over there. I was always fascinated by that!
