Here are some of the names that my partner likes. I haven’t quite made up my mind on them, except two that are hard no’s - bonus points if you can guess them. I would like to hear your thoughts about these in general, and which ones are your favourites.
Girl:
Heather
Emba
Nova
Iona
Vanda
Winona
Harriet
Boy:
Jarvis
Heath
Dante
Chester
Arto
Donnie
Rudy
I love [name_u]Nova[/name_u] and [name_m]Dante[/name_m] 
[name_f]My[/name_f] favs are [name_u]Nova[/name_u], [name_f]Iona[/name_f], [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], [name_f]Winona[/name_f], and [name_m]Dante[/name_m]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] 
I love [name_m]Dante[/name_m] and [name_u]Rudy[/name_u]!
[name_u]Love[/name_u] seeing [name_f]Winona[/name_f] and [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]! They are both so underrated, imo.
[name_f]My[/name_f] absolute no’s are [name_u]Rudy[/name_u] and [name_m]Donnie[/name_m], because of Giuliani and T***p. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though I like the name [name_f]Vanda[/name_f], it was the name of a terrorising neighbor on the street where I grew up, so that’s my other no. For the rest I’m open minded.

Girl:
Heather : It’s dated, but I think it’s a really pretty name
Emba: I’ve never herad this name in my life. It sounds scientific to me.
Nova: This always makes me think of Nova Salmon. I really like Nola (short for Magnolia) though!
Iona: It’s not my taste, but I can hear how some might like it
Vanda: I don’t like this.
Winona: I love the nickname Winnie, and if this was a way that you could get to that then I’d say I like it
Harriet: It’s strong, but not my style.
Boy:
Jarvis: That’s cool and different.
Heath: I always think of a Heath bar 
Dante: Sounds strong
Chester: Makes me think of a chest. sorry!
Arto: This is different! I actual know someone named Arno.
Donnie: I know pleanty of people nicknamed Doni, Donny, etc. short for Daniel
Rudy: No, not since Giuliani…

[name_m]Favorite[/name_m] for girls: [name_u]Nova[/name_u], [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] (only with the nn Hattie), and [name_f]Winona[/name_f].
[name_m]Favorite[/name_m] for boys: [name_u]Rudy[/name_u], [name_m]Dante[/name_m], and [name_m]Jarvis[/name_m].
I love [name_f]Winona[/name_f] & [name_f]Iona[/name_f] for girl and [name_m]Dante[/name_m], [name_u]Rudy[/name_u] & [name_m]Heath[/name_m] for boy!
[name_u]Nova[/name_u], [name_f]Winona[/name_f], [name_m]Heath[/name_m], and [name_m]Dante[/name_m], I LOVE.
I really like [name_f]Winona[/name_f] & [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] and [name_m]Jarvis[/name_m], [name_m]Heath[/name_m] & [name_m]Chester[/name_m]!
Of the girl names, I love [name_f]Iona[/name_f] and I like [name_f]Harriet[/name_f].
Of the boy names I love [name_m]Chester[/name_m] and I like [name_m]Jarvis[/name_m].
I don’t know your taste to know which you would like.
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] and [name_m]Heath[/name_m].
To be honest I don’t like most of the boy names, except for [name_m]Arto[/name_m] and [name_m]Dante[/name_m]. For girls I like non-frilly names, strong but unusual.
Of the girls, I like [name_f]Iona[/name_f], [name_f]Winona[/name_f] and [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] the most.
[name_f]Heather[/name_f] I do like, just not as much as the top 3.
I know [name_u]Nova[/name_u] is a strong fave on Nameberry but I first heard it on dogs and have never quite escaped the dog name association.
Emba I’d spell [name_u]Ember[/name_u] for ease if I were using it.
[name_f]Vanda[/name_f] I struggle to say without reverting back to [name_f]Wanda[/name_f], as I’ve just never heard it before. Sounds nice enough.
Of the boys, not really ones I’d put on my list necessarily but [name_u]Rudy[/name_u] and [name_m]Chester[/name_m] are probably my favourites.
Nothing bad or of note about the others, just not ones on my list.
[name_m]Dante[/name_m] immediately casts visions of ‘inferno’ in my mind.
I love [name_f]Heather[/name_f], [name_u]Nova[/name_u], [name_f]Winona[/name_f], [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] & Heath!!
