[name_f]Elle[/name_f]
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f]
Vivian
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]

Thanks!

Anyone? Anyone? :slight_smile:

[name_f]Elle[/name_f] - [name_f]Elle[/name_f] Woods. Motivated, intelligent. Probably very pretty, with blonde hair and blue eyes.

[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] - Makes me picture a sweet, shy, and kind blonde with big brown eyes. A genuinely good person, a little introverted.

Vivan - Never heard of Vivan, is it a [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] typo? Vivan (spelt that way) would make me picture a brunette with messy hair and green eyes. [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] is basically the same. Both would be very outgoing and a bit showoff-ish in my mind.

[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] - [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] makes me picture a very ordinary, but sweet, woman who tends to blend in. She’d have dirty blonde or light brown hair and very dark brown eyes.

[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] - A very athletic, tall blonde girl with a big grin and greenish blue eyes. Would probably play soccer or maybe basketball. Quite outgoing, lots of friends, very independent.

[name_f]Elle[/name_f]–Ditto on the [name_f]Elle[/name_f] Woods.
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f]–I know many Sarahs, all different, so it’s hard to pin this one down! I don’t know any blond Sarahs though–all brunettes and one redhead. I guess all have a creative streak, a practical streak, and are caring, helpful friends.
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u]–Hollywood starlet or prostitute (Pretty Woman!), but generally vivacious!
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]–[name_f]Serene[/name_f].
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]–Blond, spunky, pig tails, lots of friends.

[name_f]Elle[/name_f] - [name_f]Elle[/name_f] Woods (Legally Blond)
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] - girl next door look (like young [name_f]Sandra[/name_f] Bullock)
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] - I had a friend named [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]: she was very short, a little chubby, quick to anger (she looked like a tomate) and was/is a nice person. She is also super smart and went to military [high] school, because she wanted a better education (not her parents, but herself).
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] - [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] [name_u]Harper[/name_u] (Two and Half Men). Though, I know an [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] who is super nice (and a massagist).
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] - “blond friend of the most popular girl in school” - not a bad person, but is easily influenced by her friends.

[name_f]Elle[/name_f] - It’s always seemed incomplete to me. My first thought is the magazine.
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] - Boring and way too common.
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] - I think of [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] from Legally Blonde, but that might be because you also have [name_f]Elle[/name_f] on this list. The name itself feels flowery and perfumey in a glamorous sort of way.
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] - I really like this name! My first thought is a girl I used to go to school with. I think it’s a lovely name.
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] - I think of a book I read once with a character named [name_f]Bridget[/name_f]. Not my favorite, but still a great name.

[name_f]Elle[/name_f] – [name_f]Elle[/name_f] Woods
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] – a sketchy high school student
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] – [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_m]Kensington[/name_m]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] – an elderly lady
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] – spunky, cute, freckled

[name_f]Elle[/name_f]- into fashion, sweet and friendly, very girly, nice but not real smart.
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] - warm, thoughtful, bookish, intelligent, strong in a quiet way, tends to blend in.
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] - outgoing, lively, confident.
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] - wishy washy, blends into the crowd, mousy.
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] - warm, kind, quiet, strong, independent.

[name_f]Elle[/name_f] - chic

[name_f]Sarah[/name_f]- non descript

[name_u]Vivian[/name_u]- the more common spelling until recently. I think it may make a comeback. I find it sophisticated without being pretentious.

[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] - retro

[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]- spunky, sweet, outgoing

Curious I checked and [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] (#95)is used more than [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] (#233). I thought [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] had taken over.

[name_f]Elle[/name_f] - preppy
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] - intelligent and friendly
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] - adventurous
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] - bookworm
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] - supportive, a good friend

[name_f]Elle[/name_f] - sweet, spunky, a bit mischievous as a child, sophisticated adult
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] - shy, rule-follower, old-fashioned
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] - lots of personality, likes attention…also reminds me of the mom on Fresh [name_m]Prince[/name_m] :slight_smile:
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] - smart, bookworm, motherly, quiet
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] - unique, loves to travel, independent…also makes me think of my great-grandmother’s poodle who had the same name, but no one else will have this association, of course! :wink:

I’m a teacher, so some of these associations are based on students I’ve had in the past…I’m sure that swayed my opinion a bit!
