Sorting through some old things I found a handwritten list of names. Judging by other mementos found with the list, I wrote this when I was about eighteen, so roughly 8 years ago. Some of the names I still love today. Others I am almost embarrassed to mention!
What do you think? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you remember the names you liked five to ten years ago?
NAMES I STILL [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] TODAY…
GIRLS:
[name_f]Trudy[/name_f] (back then it was low down my list, but now it’s my number one girls choice)
[name_f]Brenna[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] (except now I would definitely lose the hyphen!)
[name_f]Wednesday[/name_f] (GP, but I love the [name_m]Adams[/name_m] Family gothy vibe the name has)
[name_f]Freda[/name_f] (one of my all time favourites)
BOYS:
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] (I remember liking this as a very young child, maybe because [name_m]Little[/name_m] Mermaid was my favourite movie!)
[name_m]Lucius[/name_m] (I REALLY don’t remember liking this name when I was 18, I thought it was a new addition to my list! This really threw me!)
WOULDN’T USE TODAY, BUT OK…
GIRLS: [name_f]April[/name_f], [name_f]Nala[/name_f], [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_f]Bree[/name_f], [name_f]Tuesday[/name_f], [name_u]Brady[/name_u], [name_f]October[/name_f], Faerie (though only as a reeeally GP middle name!)
BOYS: [name_m]Jack[/name_m], [name_m]Jake[/name_m], [name_m]Jacoby[/name_m], [name_u]Darren[/name_u] (prefer [name_u]Darian[/name_u] now)

No offence intended to anyone who likes these names, they’re just not my style anymore!
