[name_f]Glad[/name_f] to see people using the name experiment idea =)

Favourites:
•[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]
•[name_u]Dorian[/name_u]
•[name_u]Orion[/name_u]

•[name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
•[name_f]Eudora[/name_f]
•[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]

  • They’ve ALL been on my list at one point or another. In fact, [name_u]Dorian[/name_u], [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_f]Eudora[/name_f] and [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] still are on my list.

Least Favourites:
•[name_m]Boaz[/name_m] (Grew up with a boy named this. Never thought it was weird, but I never did like it for whatever reason)
•[name_m]Holden[/name_m] (Trendy surnames have never been my thing. Plus, it sounds like ‘holding’, e.g. - ‘I’m [name_m]Holden[/name_m] this ball’)
•[name_m]Knox[/name_m] (Again, trendy surnames. But [name_u]Lennox[/name_u] is far more pleasing and name like in comparison to [name_m]Knox[/name_m])

•[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] (It’s not pronounced the way most people think it is. It’s ‘Eh-LOH-en’, which is much less attractive than the incorrect ‘[name_f]El[/name_f]-low-win’)
•[name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] (I adore [name_m]Lucien[/name_m]/[name_m]Lucian[/name_m] for a boy. [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] is a feminisation, but less feminine in comparison to, say, [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] or [name_f]Luciana[/name_f])
•[name_f]Poppy[/name_f] (I know a girl with this name. At 18 years old, it already looks very immature)

  • Surprisingly enough, even though I have names that I dislike on your list, I don’t hate them. I don’t think they’re inappropriate or ill-advised to use, they’re just not to my personal tastes.

I think I’d go with [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] (although I vastly prefer [name_f]Adele[/name_f]), [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], and [name_f]Poppy[/name_f].
Least favorites: [name_f]Soleil[/name_f], [name_f]Eudora[/name_f], and [name_f]Fern[/name_f] (although [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] is up there, too).
