Hello, berries! Iām coming to you all with a silly little musing and question today. Iāve had this idea rattling around in my mind for a long time, and Iāve finally decided itās time I make a topic about what Iāve titled āThe [name_f]Clare[/name_f] Phenomenon!ā[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
I feel like most of us have at least one name that weāve only ever had positive associations with [name_f][/name_f]ā names weāve encountered on kind, warm, wonderful people over and over again. For me, much like the title suggests, that name is [name_f]Clare[/name_f]! [name_f]Every[/name_f] [name_f]Clare[/name_f] Iāve met or known of has been lovely, crafty, kind, a little funky, nature-loving, creativeā¦very Miss [name_f]Honey[/name_f] vibes, and the name has taken on this cozy and warm glow in my mind because of it.
[name_f][/name_f]
These names feel like a gentle pat on the back, a cup of tea handed to you just when you need it most, or someone who laughs at all your jokes even when they arenāt funny. They might not even be our favorite names style-wise [name_f][/name_f]ā but the feeling[name_f][/name_f] they give us makes them feel extra special. Pillars of kindness and warmth that make them lovable and endearing.

If you have the free time to share, Iād be so curious to hear what your own [name_f]Clare[/name_f] name is. Letās make a cozy little list of nice names for nice people. Have a good day, my friends.
This is a fun question! I have a couple [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Heather[/name_f][name_f][/name_f]: This is a funny one as the movie (which I love) obviously made [name_f]Heather[/name_f] the ultimate mean girl name! But Iāve never met one irl who wasnāt angelic so it has that image for me. [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Jane[/name_f][name_f][/name_f]: Never, ever met a mean one. [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Helen[/name_f][name_f][/name_f]: Ditto. Good vibes from [name_f]Helena[/name_f] too, actually. [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Ruth[/name_f][name_f][/name_f]: All Ruths are angels. [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Philip[/name_m][name_f][/name_f]: This is the male [name_f]Clare[/name_f], the most wholesome male name out there!! Iād love to see him make a comeback.
[name_f]Georgie[/name_f], specifically [name_f][/name_f]- other [name_m]George[/name_m] names have been a mixed bag, but everyone whoās gone by nn [name_f]Georgie[/name_f] has been lovely.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Iāve only known 3, but theyāve been 3 of the most wonderful people Iāve ever met.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Iāve known probably more than a dozen Lydias, and theyāve all been sweet, usually on the quiet side (and the only one who wasnāt[name_f][/name_f] a quieter person was still quiet by theatre kid standards).
[name_f][/name_f]
Seconding [name_m]Philip[/name_m] as the male equivalent!!
Mine is [name_f]Emma[/name_f] & [name_m]Christopher[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Every[/name_f] [name_f]Emma[/name_f] has been such a lovely person and has been always a wonderful ray of sunshine within my life. The Emmaās I know are kind, dedicated to their families, solid friends packed with advice, smiley, motivated/motivating and fun to be around. As a result I really love [name_f]Emma[/name_f] sheās such a sweet, friendly name with the lovely meaning universal, literacy associations and the sweet nickname [name_f]Emmy[/name_f]. I really like [name_f]Emma[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m] is another name that I associate with lovely people. [name_f]My[/name_f] best friend was [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] he was a bookworm and had a passion for writing. I have met lots of Christopherās in my life who have all had an interesting hobby that theyāve invested in and therefore are interesting to talk too. Absolutely love being around a [name_m]Christopher[/name_m]!
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- literally have never met one I didnāt love immediately. They all seem to have āold soulsā too even when they were children when I met them. [name_m]Just[/name_m] so gentle, quietly fierce and genuine people.
[name_f]Jane[/name_f]: I wouldnāt call her ānice,ā but every [name_f]Jane[/name_f] Iāve met has been kind, funny, and great to hang around with.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Amaya[/name_f], [name_m]Amari[/name_m], Amoria: every student iāve had with a version of this name has been kind, generous, gentle, and a citizen.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Leon[/name_m]: [name_f][/name_f] there was only one for me and he was my hero, from high school up until his death of esophogeal cancer. [name_f][/name_f] Everything you would want a man to be, that was [name_m]Leon[/name_m]. [name_f][/name_f] A true mensch.
Haha, I had no idea anyone else experienced this!! [name_f]My[/name_f] phrase for this has always been āsweetheart namesā!! Names that give me the impression of a super sweet person. Iāve really only gotten this with male names, and with the most random names too, no clue why!! Only a few of these can be traced back to knowing actual people with the name
I think for me itās [name_f]Audrey[/name_f]. I have someone close in my family who I consider a sister who is named [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], one of my favorite person in the whole world. And I have quite a few friends of mine who are named [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] and they are all so genuine and one of the nicest people Iāve met.
For me itās [name_f]MarĆa[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- specifically this form, the Icelandic spelling. [name_f]Every[/name_f] [name_f]MarĆa[/name_f] Iāve met has been just lovely.
[name_f][/name_f]
And also:
[name_f][/name_f]
IndriĆ°i [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- I donāt live in an [name_f]English[/name_f] speaking country so I havenāt met a ton of them like some of you probably have, but every [name_m]Jack[/name_m] I came across so far has been very nice [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Hadassah[/name_f]
[name_m]Matthew[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- Iāve never met a [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] I didnāt like! (including famous people) [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Mette[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- name of my childhood best friend, all the other ones Iāve heard of also seem like nice people [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Ben[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- all Benās are nice for some reason (but somehow this hasnāt applied to Benjaminās [name_f][/name_f] ) [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- they all seem to be bubbly people
IMOGEN!!! [name_f]Every[/name_f] single one Iāve known has just been the most sweetest, kind-hearted and just the best people Iāve met and itās just made me absolutely adore [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
For boys, Iād have to say [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- all of the Elijahās Iāve met have been so sweet!
Mineās an old fashioned one, [name_f]Sheila[/name_f]. I had two aunts named this, both were lovely. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband has a colleague named Sheelagh and we are now friends with her and her partner and are attending their wedding in [name_f]June[/name_f]. I have also worked with two lovely Sheilas. One was in her early 20s and this made me see the name in a whole new light.
I feel like Iāve known really nice Katherines/Kates, but I canāt think of all too many. And some amazing Zoes (all with different spellings)! Oh and Olivias! Iāve known so many sweet Olivias. And Adriennes, theyāre always so so nice and lovely.
