Do any of you have names that you like that are totally not your normal style, or that you don’t know why you like them?
(Edit because I forgot to add my own)
I have several that I feel are outliers, several of which are place names.
[name_f]Alaska[/name_f]
[name_u]Albany[/name_u] (g)
[name_f]Abilene[/name_f]
[name_u]Denver[/name_u] (b)
[name_f]Shasta[/name_f]
[name_f]Bijoux[/name_f]
[name_u]Dana[/name_u] (g)
[name_f]Evelyn[/name_f]
[name_u]Harlow[/name_u] (g)
[name_f]Hadley[/name_f]
[name_u]Loren[/name_u] (b)
[name_f]Melody[/name_f]
[name_f]Nadine[/name_f]
[name_f]Temperance[/name_f]
[name_m]Zeppelin[/name_m]
[name_m]Elio[/name_m] Stargazer and [name_u]Asa[/name_u] [name_u]Hummingbird[/name_u] are too out there for my style but I love them! I’d probably say [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] too
[name_f]Emiliana[/name_f]
I don’t usually like overly frilly names so this one isn’t my normal style.
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m], [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_u]Miles[/name_u]
Not because of style, but because of their popularity. I normally wouldn’t go anywhere near names in the top 100, but I like so few boys names that I’ve had to relax my rules to have any kind of long list to discuss with my partner when the time comes.
I have a few that deviate from what’s become my “norm”:
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] - this has always been a guilty pleasure of-sorts that doesn’t match anything else I love.
[name_f]Farah[/name_f] / Farah-Leigh - it’s an honour name (and a name I really love) but it doesn’t go with my other names.
[name_u]Hayden[/name_u] - I just really like this name, but it does NOT match anything else I love.
[name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] - it’s a very sweet classic, but its the only one of its kind on my list.
Answering my own question because I have a new one.
It’s not actually on my list but I just like it, Ella May.
I don’t like double barrel firsts, and I don’t like Ella or May, but I like Ella May.
