I realized something looking back at the names I like, many of them have a “th” and/or a long U [“oo”] sound to them.
Examples:
[name]Ruth[/name]
[name]Arthur[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Gareth[/name]
[name]Kenneth[/name]
[name]Lilith[/name]
[name]Lucille[/name]
[name]Judith[/name]
[name]Ethel[/name]
[name]Prudence[/name]
[name]Luna[/name]
[name]June[/name]
[name]Edith[/name]
[name]Tabitha[/name]
[name]Alethea[/name]
[name]Katherine[/name]
So my question is, what kinds of sounds do you like in names?
And is there anyone else out there that likes names with the “th” sound? It doesn’t seem to be in style these days as far as I can tell.
I looked at my lists of names, and realized I love long “o” sounds. [name]Rosamund[/name], [name]Hugo[/name], [name]Eloise[/name], [name]Fiona[/name], [name]Margot[/name], [name]Opal[/name], [name]Owen[/name], [name]Snow[/name], [name]Elodie[/name], [name]Louie[/name] and [name]Viola[/name] are all names I like.
I definitely seem to lean towards names with “L” sounds - [name]Nella[/name], [name]Elsa[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Emily[/name], [name]Helena[/name], [name]Louis[/name], [name]Alastair[/name], [name]Julian[/name].
I’m also a big fan of boys’ names ending in an “ee” sound - [name]Louis[/name], [name]Harvey[/name], [name]Ashley[/name], [name]Darcey[/name], [name]Quincy[/name], [name]Henry[/name].
And also girls’ names with only short vowel sounds - [name]Helena[/name], [name]Lydia[/name], [name]Sylvia[/name], [name]Imogen[/name], [name]Aurelia[/name].
