just wondering what your naming styles are. mine are what mood I am and age. I found a list of names I would never use now because they were so horrible!!lol
“saintly surprises” for me-- underused Byzantine, Semitic and Celtic [name]Christian[/name] names
According to name nerds "Classic Unusual ~ You prefer names that have a history. These are fashionable classics that have come back into use after several generations of quiet slumber. "
Yup, I’d say that was spot on.
I find that quiz about as useful as the quizzes that tell you which political candidate you align with… lol…
I always end up with my highest percentage being around 25%. The only section I didn’t score in was Modern Unusual. So I guess that means I’m up for anything as long as you don’t smush names together, make them up or forget how to spell.
Yeah, actually looking at the lists of names that they suggest after the quiz… I have to take back my earlier statement, I think the Classic Eccentric fits better.
I like to call my style “eclectic”. I like a little of “everything”.Some of the names are more versatile and can belong to two or more categories (eg. [name]Violet[/name] can be described as a “vintage, colour and nature” name).
1 traditional and timeless - Biblical or not (eg. [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Margaret[/name], [name]Alexander[/name], [name]Audrey[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]James[/name], [name]Isaac[/name], [name]Ethan[/name], [name]Timothy[/name])
2 Classic Greek or [name]Roman[/name] - mythological or otherwise (eg. [name]Persephone[/name], [name]Apollo[/name], [name]Theodore[/name], [name]Cassius[/name], [name]Daphne[/name])
3 Vintage names (eg. [name]Mabel[/name], [name]Millicent[/name], [name]Agatha[/name], [name]Edith[/name], [name]Oscar[/name], [name]Dorothy[/name], [name]Maude[/name], [name]Franklin[/name], [name]Edmund[/name], [name]Matilda[/name])
4 Word or virtue names (eg. Solace, Lovejoy, Makepeace, [name]January[/name], [name]Remember[/name], [name]Verity[/name])
5 Nature names (eg. [name]Violet[/name], [name]Cedar[/name], [name]Iris[/name], [name]Ivy[/name], [name]Calla[/name], [name]Juniper[/name], [name]Wren[/name], [name]Lilac[/name], [name]Clover[/name], [name]Laurel[/name])
6 Colour names (eg. [name]Sienna[/name], [name]Saffron[/name], [name]Ruby[/name], [name]Indigo[/name], [name]Cyan[/name] )
7 Names from Other Cultures (eg. [name]Genevieve[/name], [name]Lucia[/name], [name]Meredith[/name], [name]Griffin[/name], [name]Greta[/name], [name]Fraser[/name], [name]Elowen[/name], [name]Leilani[/name], [name]Saskia[/name], [name]Eleni[/name])
8 Place Names (eg. [name]Geneva[/name], [name]Florence[/name], [name]Georgia[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name])
9 Nicknames as First Names (eg. [name]Charlie[/name], [name]Jack[/name], [name]Verlie[/name], [name]Romy[/name], [name]Molly[/name]/[name]Polly[/name], [name]Dulcie[/name], [name]Tess[/name], [name]Hattie[/name], [name]Mamie[/name], [name]Sadie[/name])
10 Unisex or Surnames ([name]Morgan[/name], [name]Avery[/name], [name]Leighton[/name], [name]Hollis[/name], [name]Spencer[/name], [name]Harrison[/name], [name]Page[/name]/[name]Paige[/name])
For girls, I lean toward what I would refer to as grandma names: [name]Mary[/name], [name]Edith[/name], [name]Louisa[/name], [name]Betsy[/name], [name]Georgiana[/name], [name]Mabel[/name], [name]Daisy[/name]
For boys, names that give me a Southern Gentleman vibe: [name]Cyrus[/name], [name]William[/name], [name]Everett[/name], [name]Emmett[/name], [name]Jackson[/name], [name]Raleigh[/name], [name]Robert[/name]
According to that quiz my naming style is classic conservative (but it’s only 25%) with Classic Eccentric being next at 20%.
For girls I like: Deliliah, [name]Lilith[/name], [name]Cecily[/name], [name]Elodie[/name] and [name]Camilla[/name]. And there’s also the totally random Siofra. So I’d say it’s more Biblical Bad Girl and [name]Kinda[/name] Cute.
For boys I like: [name]Isaac[/name], [name]Simon[/name], [name]Camden[/name] and [name]Roman[/name]. So again there’s Biblical and Modern But Serious.
Unless anyone else can come up with a better description, because I have no idea what to call my style. Especially when I have to incorporate my fiance’s taste.
I would say French, eclectic, classic. These are my answers from the name nerd quiz

I kind of agree. I guess I’m like @mischa. My taste is fairly classic but a little eclectic, because I like established classics, vintage names, nature names,place names,nickname names,and some unisex names.
But for the most part, I’d describe my taste as classic and vintage but a little quirky.
