i’ve been meaning to make another one of these posts for a while now but i’ve finally got my (not so) shortlist of useable names down for future baby birds~
i would describe my naming style as vibrant, playful, artistic, and earthy with a bit of vintage flair
(in no particular order)
(m)
robin otto edmund “ed/ned” milo rufus oscar “ozzy” cedric casper sylvester “sy” louie “lou” henry “hank” jasper sonny
(f)
juniper “juno” alma cecily juno joan indie cicely agnes bridget “birdie” sylvie wednesday “wendy/winnie” sybil “sybbie” pearl
:
rufus, casper, henry, sonny - i need you to understand how much i love these
indie, bridget, sybil, pearl
:
otto, edmund, jasper, cedric, oscar - but extra love for otto, edmund and jasper
alma, juniper, cecily, sylvie
:
robin, milo, louie - just not my vibe
juno, joan, agnes, wednesday - i mean, there’s definitely a theme. to me, robin, milo, louie, juno and joan are a similar set. maybe i have a think with the letter o
robin - 9 otto - 10 edmund “ed/ned” - 5 milo - 7 rufus - 8 oscar “ozzy” - 7.5 cedric - 7 casper - 7.5 sylvester “sy” - 6 louie “lou” - 7 henry “hank” - 6 (okay, admittedly just [name_u]Henry[/name_u] would score higher) jasper - 7.5 sonny - 7

This was HARD, I love all the names on your lists. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps!
your comment was so sweet, thank you so much! admittedly, rufus is a new love for me, but at this point in time (besides long time loves such robin, otto, and edmund) it’s probably my number one boy name for now <3
also your comment on the name wednesday made my day! wednesday was added to my list after meeting the sweetest little ballerina named wednesday “winnie” irl who just helped me to fall in love with the name
thank you so much for your comment and especially for the sonny appreciation <3 it gives me the perfect 60s/70s hippie vibe, and i wish it got as much love as sunny as a feminine name did
