Naming Footprint

I think that creating a ‘naming footprint’ might be quite good for each of the Berries. I would describe it as your naming base list created from names that you like even if you would never use them. This would be helpful when asking for naming help so that the people replying can see your style because words like ‘preppy’ or ‘modern’ mean different things to different people.

The easiest way to do this is to go to the pages for boys names, girls names and unisex names on Nameberry [that contain a wide variety of names] and go through each letter of the alphabet, writing down each name that you even just slightly like. It might take a while but it gives a good idea of your style.

Once you have found your ‘naming footprint’, you can copy it into your threads which will allow posters to get a more accurate list of suggestions. As everyone has picked from the same variety of names, it will give a more accurate comparison.

Please just tell me if this is a rubbish idea.

I think it’s a good idea. It gives me a better view over what kind of names I actually like.

I should have thought of this myself. It’s a brilliant idea and I most definitely will be trying this in the near future

Thanks for the feedback. Shall I compile a shorter but varied list of names so it doesn’t take so long to do and so your end list is not too long?

Seems like a sound idea! x
