Verb Names

General Name Discussion

I got this idea courtesy of @moonkai
Most of the word names we talk about on here are nouns. What are some verb word names?

Names like:
[name_u]Chase[/name_u]
[name_u]Dash[/name_u]
[name_u]Dream[/name_u]
[name_u]Echo[/name_u]
[name_u]Free[/name_u]
[name_f]Glimmer[/name_f]
[name_u]Marvel[/name_u]
[name_m]Meander[/name_m]
[name_m]Pierce[/name_m]
[name_f]Praise[/name_f]
[name_m]Prosper[/name_m]
Shimmer
[name_u]Wade[/name_u]
[name_u]Win[/name_u]

I just realized there are quite afew word names that are both nouns and verbs.

Loving Gallivant! Very reminiscent of [name_m]Gulliver[/name_m] but with added lamb-like skip in their step!

Great picks!

Every single one of these is so brilliant! Evanesce! It’s got that lovely Ev- beginning while being so creative. Seek is also an awesome idea I have never considered. I love the sleek sound.

Waltz is phenomenal. It sounds so namey, and the meaning is so spunky. Love Shine, Gleam and Glow as well. I love so many names that relate to light. Muse is another fantastic one I’ve been seeing mentioned on nameberry recently!

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone mention [name_u]Kick[/name_u] or [name_f]Flick[/name_f] yet!

[name_u]Rue[/name_u] is my favorite :yellow_heart:
