Hey everyone!
I am starting to finalize my list of names and I would appreciate it if you could vote on them. To make it easier I made a list on a different baby name website at the link below (copy and paste it, for some reason the hyperlink isn’t working) That way you don’t have to rewrite all the names plus it’s easier to keep track of the replies.
There’s only 24 (boys and girls together) and it’s a simple thumbs up or thumbs down, no other feedback needed. (Thumbs up meaning you like it and/or think it’s usable. Thumbs down means you don’t like it and/or don’t think it’s usable)
If any of these name combos come across as guilty pleasures can you please let me know in the comments below. I can have very eccentric taste and sometimes I think it’s ok to useon a real kid but in reality it should be in the GP list.
Thank you for reading all this and if you could please vote I would really appreciate it!
[name_f]Emma[/name_f]
For the girls, I would say Valkyrie, [name_f]Olwyn[/name_f], and [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] seem more like guilty pleasures to me. [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] is a little much, and I’d personally confine it to a middle spot…but I suppose it could work. The others are usable, I would say. Though I’m not sure about [name_f]Hermione[/name_f]… I think it’s fine, but only if you don’t mind it being pretty much inseparable from Hogwarts.
From the boys’ list, I definitely think [name_m]Jupiter[/name_m] and [name_m]Archimedes[/name_m] are a bit over-the-top and may be better as guilty pleasures.
I think you’re right about [name_f]Hermione[/name_f]. It’s hard to get away from the character in [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] unfortunately.
I was hoping the nicknames [name_u]Jem[/name_u] and [name_m]Archie[/name_m] would make [name_m]Jupiter[/name_m] and [name_m]Archimedes[/name_m] more useable but I guess not really. I do like [name_u]Jem[/name_u] and [name_m]Archie[/name_m] as stand alone names so maybe I’ll switch them to that.
I really like [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] “[name_f]Ruthie[/name_f]”. I quite like [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_u]Frost[/name_u] and [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Tobiah[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] as well.
Most of the other combos aren’t really my style, though I really like some of the names individually such as [name_m]Silas[/name_m] and [name_f]Elowen[/name_f]. I guess it’s the mix of unusual historical/mythological names with very modern-sounding word names. To me they sound a bit over-the-top together. However, this is just my personal opinion.
I think having multiple word/nature names made some of the combos more GP than useable.
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Calla[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Fern[/name_f] though! [name_f]Calla[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] is actually on my list too
