I mean, basically all my names are GP! I love so many, but realistically would only use a handful on an actual person (at least as a first.)
The biggest categories I can think of are:
Greek mythology names: I love so many of them, and think they are incredibly cool.
Names
Klytemnestra
[name_f]Electra[/name_f]
[name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f]
[name_f]Iphigenia[/name_f]

Hipollyta
Leukippe
Melisto
[name_f]Circe[/name_f]
[name_u]Artemis[/name_u]
Chrysothemis
[name_f]Clotho[/name_f]
There is then extremely fantastical names (mainly LOTR, elvish, or obscure literature.)
Names
[name_f]Tinuviel[/name_f]
[name_f]Morgaine[/name_f]
[name_f]Luthien[/name_f]
[name_f]Galadriel[/name_f]
Gwenhwyfar

[name_f]Aravis[/name_f]
[name_u]Jadis[/name_u]
[name_f]Avalon[/name_f]
and the like.
I really consider anything a GP that I like but probably wouldn’t use, and realistically I would only use a name that I loved AND was a honour/family name. So any name that I “just like” is a GP.
[name_f]My[/name_f] top 2 GP names are:
-
[name_f]Laelia[/name_f]
Soo beautiful! But, unfortunately is a sound away from being the same word as a female body part and I couldn’t put that on a child. -
[name_f]Meadow[/name_f]
[name_u]Love[/name_u] this alot, but I am just not brave enough to use it as it doesn’t entirely fit into my style that well. I have considered using it as a middle name, but it still just seems to stick out oddly next to the other names I love.
[name_f]My[/name_f] fave gp for girls include:
[name_u]Firefly[/name_u]
Gleam
[name_u]Glow[/name_u]
Stargazer
[name_f]Swanhild[/name_f]
[name_f]Nayara[/name_f]
[name_u]Alcott[/name_u] ‘Lottie’
[name_f]Ottoline[/name_f]
[name_u]Zosime[/name_u]
[name_f]Betsabe[/name_f]
[name_f]Willodean[/name_f]
[name_u]Pasha[/name_u]
Samphire
[name_u]Hero[/name_u]
[name_u]Harvest[/name_u]
Carisbrooke
Delacey
Mithian
[name_f]Cherish[/name_f]
[name_u]Forest[/name_u]
[name_u]Willoughby[/name_u]
[name_f]Queenie[/name_f]
[name_u]Mack[/name_u]
[name_f]Jette[/name_f]
[name_u]Breeze[/name_u]
I’d use them to make combos, but if I was to have a real child, I don’t think I would

Names I really like but wouldn’t use because of pronunciation problems, backstory problems, or just too out there:
[name_f]Anais[/name_f] [name_f]Clothilde[/name_f]
[name_u]Phaedra[/name_u] [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Camellia[/name_f] (love this but hate Cammy)
[name_f]Minerva[/name_f] [name_f]Talitha[/name_f]
These were supposed to be two columns. Not firsts and middles.
What does GP stand for?
