Names like [name_m]Luka[/name_m], [name_m]Archie[/name_m], [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_u]Kai[/name_u], [name_u]Noah[/name_u], [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] for boys, and [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Evie[/name_f], [name_f]Lola[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], Freyja, [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], & [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] for girls, which are just too popular for me.
Then there are the too ‘out there’ or too much baggage ones: [name_m]Sherlock[/name_m], [name_m]Icarus[/name_m], [name_f]Alchemy[/name_f], & Mordred; Arsinoë, [name_f]Medeia[/name_f]/[name_f]Medea[/name_f], Etsy, Belladonna, Evangelise, & Cadmium.
And finally the ‘crush’ names (i.e. the people I love but can never have): [name_m]Benedict[/name_m], [name_u]Evan[/name_u], & [name_m]Matthew[/name_m]/[name_m]Matt[/name_m], but technically I only have [name_m]Benedict[/name_m] on my list, but I’m liking [name_u]Evan[/name_u] at the moment.
Also Phoenix! It’s my second favourite boys’ name. I really dislike it for a girl, and although it’s still more popular for a boy, it seems to be growing in popularity for girls, and I’m worried about its usage as a symbol for femininity in some East Asian countries. Obviously I don’t know what will happen in the future, but I wouldn’t want to accidentally make my future son a laughing stock because of his name, just in case he does go to or even live in China for example. I wish I could use it, but I don’t think I’ll be able to unfortunately :(.
