My usual style is vintage but I do tend to fall for nature or mythology names randomly -
[name_u]Sky[/name_u] (boy)
[name_u]Ash[/name_u] (boy)
[name_m]Thor[/name_m] / [name_m]Thorin[/name_m]
[name_u]Linden[/name_u]
[name_u]Halcyon[/name_u]
[name_u]Artemis[/name_u]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f]
[name_f]Honey[/name_f] (m/n)
[name_f]Birdie[/name_f]
[name_f]Emerald[/name_f]
Hecate
I don’t think I even have much of a naming style- their all other the place, especially my girls list which contains: [name_f]Clover[/name_f], [name_f]Esther[/name_f], [name_f]Joy[/name_f], [name_u]Waverly[/name_u], [name_f]Serenity[/name_f], [name_f]Marceline[/name_f], [name_f]Alba[/name_f], [name_f]Anouk[/name_f], [name_f]Celia[/name_f], [name_f]Fern[/name_f], [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f], [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] and [name_u]Fable[/name_u]. My boys list is a little more clear but still with [name_m]Abel[/name_m], [name_u]Everest[/name_u], [name_u]Linden[/name_u], [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m], [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m], [name_m]Walden[/name_m], [name_m]Oswin[/name_m], [name_m]George[/name_m], [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] and Theobold there isn’t much that would stand out.
Girls: [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f]/[name_f]Gracelyn[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
Boys: [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m], [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_m]Julian[/name_m], [name_m]Dominick[/name_m], [name_u]Dylan[/name_u]
I probably wouldn’t pick any of these names, but I do like them. I usually don’t go for “ordinary” names, but do like these.
Most of my favourite boy names are classic and traditional (see bottom list if you like) but my absolute favourite is [name_m]Jaxon[/name_m]. I’m still on the fence about adding it because it would so odd among [name_m]Ulysses[/name_m], [name_m]Sylvester[/name_m], [name_m]Alfred[/name_m] and [name_m]Timothy[/name_m]. But i love it.
I like so few boys’ names that the ones I do like are all over the map, but my girls’ names style tends to be either extremely bold ([name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_f]Ismay[/name_f], [name_f]Mazarine[/name_f]) or flowery and apocryphal ([name_f]Iphigenia[/name_f], [name_f]Sybella[/name_f], [name_f]Amoret[/name_f].) So when I like normal, classic top 100ish names, they tend to be the outliers. Ones like [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_f]Isabel[/name_f], [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]. Also, there are exactly two unisex names on my endless list: [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_u]Adair[/name_u].
My style, especially for girls’ names, is sort of all over the place, but to give you a taste…
I like names like [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Susanna[/name_f], [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f], and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]…
But then I also like [name_f]Nahla[/name_f] and [name_f]Zora[/name_f] and [name_f]Nola[/name_f] and [name_f]Zara[/name_f] and [name_f]Zosia[/name_f], and [name_f]Wednesday[/name_f] and [name_f]Tuesday[/name_f] and [name_u]Winter[/name_u] and [name_u]January[/name_u]…
Then there’s the unisex/tomboy… [name_u]Scout[/name_u], [name_u]Rory[/name_u], [name_u]Quincy[/name_u], [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_f]Lil[/name_f], [name_u]Jo[/name_u]
For boys I’m pretty consistent: I like [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], [name_m]Ronan[/name_m], [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_m]Levi[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_u]Gale[/name_u], [name_u]Owen[/name_u], etc. But there are a few outliers, but I wouldn’t necessarily consider using these: [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m], Huckabee/[name_m]Huckleberry[/name_m], [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u], [name_m]Ferris[/name_m].
I can’t really decide on what my style really is. What’s for sure is that I H-A-T-E gender neutral name and names that seem invented (eg. [name_u]Cerulean[/name_u]) as well as named derived from words (like [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]). For some reasons I don’t really know, I love some names from the mentioned categories and I would really like to use them for my children. These names are :
[name_u]Morgan[/name_u]
[name_f]Eira[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
I usually like more unusual names, but I like [name_f]Grace[/name_f] and [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] - I wouldn’t use them though.
Also, I don’t usually like overly feminine names - so the fact that I have [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] in my only girl combo is a bit weird.
Names that I like but aren’t my style/I wouldn’t use would be,
For boys, [name_m]Jack[/name_m], [name_m]Joah[/name_m], [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m], and [name_m]Henry[/name_m].
For girls, [name_u]Avery[/name_u], [name_f]Eve[/name_f], Gracyn, and [name_u]Rory[/name_u].
For some reason I’m loving the name [name_f]Peaches[/name_f] right now. It’s so darn cute. :o
