Today is a rare day off for me and I decided to write out different names and naming aesthetics, as one does;) I realized that my ideas of the [name_u]Golden[/name_u]-Hour-Lemonade-Stand sibset or the Coastal-Town-with-an-[name_u]Ice[/name_u]-Cream-Shop sibset aren’t actually all that different. So I combined a bunch of dreamy ideas and mental images into one Ultimate aesthetic of an over-idealized childhood.
I was wondering what names spring to mind when you read out the description, I am easily swayed so no names are off-limits.
Typing out a post makes me feel some type of way but I always get the best responses that totally fill my bucket, so just thank you so much in advance I am grateful for this community
The Aesthetic in Question
sitting on a porch swing at golden hour, little girls wearing princess dresses to go to the ballet, dimpled chins and rosy cheeks, we don’t even call them wellies in the US but… wellies 
, Spanish moss, going to your favorite hole-in-the-wall brunch place on a [name_m]Saturday[/name_m] morning, dewy grass, feeding the neighborhood cats when you know you aren’t supposed to and now they just wait at your door, holding hands, family road trips, hand-knit sweaters that are imperfect but you know so much love was put into it, community gardens, hot chocolate after ice skating, just so much peace and happiness I am going to tear up I already know it

@novembermom [name_f]Tansy[/name_f]!! I love all of these boy names and can totally see them, also [name_f]Mitzi[/name_f]?? Yes?? So sweet why hasn’t she been on my radar?
@planetnames These are It, absolutely amazing. I was thinking of your [name_m]Howie[/name_m] the other day and so I typed [name_m]Hewie[/name_m] in the search trying to remember it - but [name_m]Huey[/name_m] takes it to a whole new level
@anon35922409
Living for any name that can be described this way. Soft retro is definitely a perfect way to describe what I’m going for - I can’t thank you enough these names are awesome
