Stuck in my box…

General Name Discussion

…and I need help thinking outside of it. I was thinking about my main and alternative names (in signature) and was wondering what other names I could possibly add to my list. I was about to view my name list and then it hit me… I sent my computer in for repair and they factory reset my computer; which, of course is the only place I kept my names—and I forgot to save them to my USB drive.

So, I suppose this is now as good a time as any. I was going to ask anyway, because it seems that as of late, my main list only contains names with seven-letters. [name]Every[/name] time I see a name that I find interesting enough to add to my list, it only has seven-letters. [name]Even[/name] if they don’t have seven-letters, I will try to figure out a legitimate way of making it fit. {I.e. [name]Oberon[/name] & [name]Auberon[/name]} I just need help breaking away from this pattern, because I think it will eventually limit my ability to like/love other names. If I do like a name that does not fit the criteria, I will eventually delete them. This may seem silly to most of you, but I am seriously asking for opinions/inspirations on the matter.

Not pregnant or TTC, but I enjoy having my name list in order. In the past, I have been surprised a couple of times by someone asking for names.

Thank you,

Thank you ottilie (love how you encourage me to continue my seven-letters cheesiness, instead of deter me from it), shieldsc, and lexiem. I appreciate the time you took to respond. I will take my time reviewing the names given and take them in consideration. Some of the names listed, I have only recently warmed up to, maybe because of Berries opinions on them brought them to a new light.

Also, recently, I was chatting with a person close to me about my names, and she replied, “You know you are black, right?” At first, I was completely dumbfounded at her sly remarks about the names I am interested in. I know some names are tied more to their culture and others can be used in diverse ethnicity. Are my name preferences really that horrible?

Any more takers, please?

Oh no, that’s terrible! You can name your children whatever you want. Ugh, things like that annoy me. By the way, one of my black friends has two kids called [name]Edgar[/name] & [name]Martha[/name] :wink:
