A thread to share the names you never, ever see on NB and wish you did more often! Not just the uncommon ones, like [name_u]Addison[/name_u], but the ones we truly never see.
For me, it’s
[name_u]Roy[/name_u]
[name_m]Wayne[/name_m]
[name_m]Huckleberry[/name_m]
[name_m]Gregor[/name_m]
[name_m]Lloyd[/name_m]
[name_u]Rue[/name_u]
[name_u]Seth[/name_u] (I don’t know why this isn’t more popular!)
[name_f]Carla[/name_f]
I wish [name_u]Rue[/name_u] & [name_f]Carla[/name_f] were more commonly discussed here. [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] names, especially [name_u]Rue[/name_u]!
Obviously, there are some very peculiar names that haven’t seen the light of day in centuries, but I’ll share some names I’m genuinely surprised I never see.
One I’ve never seen mentioned here before at all is [name_f]Cataline[/name_f], which is honestly kinda surprising to me. [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] and all her variants are very popular here, so it’s a wonder this hasn’t ever come up.
Armand is never mentioned, regardless of being a handsome name and (in my opinion) fitting in well with the general Nameberry style. Also others I like and wish they were discussed more often:
Gustav
[name_m]Henrik[/name_m]
[name_m]Ludovic[/name_m]
[name_m]Alaric[/name_m]
[name_m]Amadeo[/name_m]
[name_f]Serafina[/name_f]
Peter (Surprisingly, thought it would be quite popular)
[name_m]Alaric[/name_m]
[name_m]Graeme[/name_m]
[name_u]Billy[/name_u] (boys, [name_u]Billie[/name_u] for girls is definitely around)
[name_u]Sorrell[/name_u]
[name_f]India[/name_f]
[name_f]Nadine[/name_f] (saw this in a post recently and very surprised its so underused)
[name_u]Nicola[/name_u] (again, I know loads in real life but don’t recall it on here? Very surprising)
I haven’t seen people talking about [name_f]Luz[/name_f], which i find odd especially considering how popular [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] is! I’ve seen other Spanish names like [name_f]Valentina[/name_f], [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], [name_f]Inez[/name_f] and [name_f]Luisa[/name_f] around, but never [name_f]Luz[/name_f]
