New People... New Names :)

Girl Names
1

This isn’t going to be long (I am so exhausted atm), but basically, I’ve been doing this activity with lots of other young people (about 60) for the past couple of weeks, and I’ve been meaning to share a few of the names I noticed/liked. They’re mostly girls, so I put it in the girls names forum, but there’s a bit at the end on the boys.
[name_u]Lyric[/name_u]
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] (which I like way more now I can imagine it on an actual person)
[name_f]Bertha[/name_f]
[name_f]Molly[/name_f]-[name_f]Anne[/name_f] (who goes by [name_f]Molly[/name_f]. She’s the first [name_f]Molly[/name_f] I’ve met, and [name_f]Molly[/name_f] has a [name_m]Sherlock[/name_m] and [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] reference, so I was kind of excited :P)
[name_f]Gloria[/name_f] (again, so great to be able to imagine this on a real person; I didn’t even think of Madagascar until now)
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] (who has lessened the kind of bad association I had with this name)
[name_f]Sonya[/name_f] (for some reason I kept thinking nn [name_u]Sonny[/name_u] would suit her so well too)
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f] (okay, she’s the third [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] I know around my age, but she’s too awesome to leave out, and a great Ukelele player)

I was quite surprised that there was only one [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] (full name [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]-[name_u]Leigh[/name_u]), one [name_f]Emma[/name_f], and no [name_f]Emily[/name_f]'s among us, although one of the mentors was called [name_f]Emily[/name_f]. And there was also Simran (who’s so nice), who insists on just being called [name_m]Sim[/name_m], because three letters is apparently easier to remember, and less confusing.

The boys’ names were pretty normal ([name_m]Paul[/name_m], [name_m]George[/name_m], [name_u]Kieran[/name_u], 2 Liams etc.), except [name_m]Hannibal[/name_m], who did not get endless cannibal comments or anything; his name suited him really well, and it wasn’t weird at all. Perfect example of how most of the time the name will suit the person.

WDYT of some of these names?

[name_m]Hannibal[/name_m]?! Ha, I think there was a troll round here a few weeks ago who was ‘considering’ this :smiley:

I like [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] and [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] a lot. [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] is just gorgeous (I have a family friend called [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], she’s a few years younger than me and I don’t see her often but she’s probably the reason I love it). I quite like [name_f]Molly[/name_f] but I must know hundreds haha!I also know a [name_u]Lyric[/name_u] my age… I don’t really like it but she pulls it off. [name_f]Bertha[/name_f] is a bit strange, it’s one of those names that just seems so clunky it’s hard comprehend it especially on a teenager (my friend [name_f]Hilda[/name_f]'s name gets a similar reaction from some people but she suits it perfectly).

I’m always quite interested in teenager’s names… I guess because it’s just a different generation to the statistics we see/use now. By the way, is it NCS you’re doing? I know a couple of people who’ve been involved this summer and loved it.

[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] have always been one of my favorite names and I would love to use it on a future child. It’s too bad my current bf dislikes it. I like [name_f]Molly[/name_f] as well, but one of my best friends is already planning on using it.

[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] looks pretty but when I say it, it almost comes as " I feel ya"
[name_f]Bertha[/name_f] is just…no. Can’t do this one at all.
I know 2 people with the name [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] so I’ve never had an issue imagining this name on a person. Not a favorite of mine but nothing wrong with it.
The other names aren’t on my list of likes but I know people of all ages who have the names. With the exception of [name_m]Hannibal[/name_m]. It’s a town close but to me but I’d fear the child would be to easily bullied.

@oliviasarah, yeah it’s the NCS Challenge. It’s great, but really tiring too; I’m not sure if my posts will make much sense today. :stuck_out_tongue:
