I figure there must be a thread like this somewhere but I couldn’t find it, so if there is I apologize.
What are some names that you have found or that have grown on you recently? Where did you hear them?
For me:
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u]- [name_m]Zac[/name_m] [name_m]Efron[/name_m]’s character in neighbors
Beck- People talking about Victorious (never seen it) and [name_u]Quentin[/name_u] [name_u]Beck[/name_u] from Spider-[name_m]Man[/name_m] far from home
Newt- [name_m]Scamander[/name_m] (HP) and Maze Runner
Cecelia ‘[name_f]Cece[/name_f]’ - I started watching [name_u]New[/name_u] Girl and there’s a character with the name. I certainly knew about it before, but hadn’t ever thought about it, I guess.
Iris - I’ve always seen it around NB but only recently have I started seeing it in a new light. I’m not sure what sparked the change.
Aine - I always found it pretty (and I’ve loved [name_f]Anya[/name_f] for ages) but I watched This [name_m]Way[/name_m] Up (it’s the main character’s name) and hearing it said so often made me like it more and more.
Étienne - Another character in This [name_m]Way[/name_m] Up, the sweetest young boy who made the name seem so kind!
I adore [name_u]Teddy[/name_u], [name_u]Beck[/name_u], [name_u]Vale[/name_u], [name_u]Blair[/name_u] (prefer on a girl, but I do like it on a boy), & [name_u]Hale[/name_u] (this spelling)
I’ve been having a hard time with finding new name crushes lately
I stumbled across [name_m]Evander[/name_m] and I wish I had named my [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Evander[/name_m]. It’s so handsome and not as common.
Endelion I think it has such a regal quality to it.
I recently discovered [name_f]Iva[/name_f] and I really like it. It’s short and spunky, has the cool -v sound, and kind of reminds me of popular [name_f]Isla[/name_f]. So I feel it has a lot going for it!
Mariketa - this as well as new love Kaderin and rediscovered loves [name_f]Valkyrie[/name_f] and Nïx / [name_f]Nyx[/name_f] I found in the Immortals After Dark series by Kresley [name_m]Cole[/name_m].
Tedric - I liked this name well enough when I first started Soman Chainani’s School for Good and Evil series years ago, but upon a recent reread when the final book came out, I am crushing hard again.
Ecclesia - I found this here on Nameberry a bit ago (I can’t remember who was posting about it?) and now I can’t get it out of my head! It is to die for!
Elia - I’ve always had a soft spot for [name_m]Elio[/name_m], but I actually just jumped on the Game of Thrones bandwagon the beginning of this year (and I’m not sure what all the hype was about? The books were meh as well for me) and this name (especially said by [name_m]Pedro[/name_m] [name_m]Pascal[/name_m]) is just so striking and lovely to me.
