When naming our daughter my husband prefered more popular, feminine names (his favorites being [name_u]Reese[/name_u] and [name_f]Paige[/name_f]). I liked harsher names with less commonly used sounds and was heartbroken when [name_f]Carla[/name_f] and [name_f]Veronica[/name_f] didn’t make the cut. What I’m wondering is if this situation was true for you or was it vice versa? I also found that the names I liked for my first girl in Maryland are decidely different than the ones I’m considering for baby #2 in Michigan.
[name_f]My[/name_f] husband likes very frilly names for girls- [name_f]Esmerelda[/name_f], [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f], [name_f]Josephina[/name_f], that kind of thing. I tend to like slightly less ornate names. I prefer [name_f]Esme[/name_f] to [name_f]Esmerelda[/name_f], for instead. And I don’t think everything needs an “a” on the end. He likes softer more ornate names for boys as well- he loves [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_m]Silas[/name_m] for example.
I think my style for girls would be be classified as classic old fashioned names. I tend to favor longer names that will age well and are distinctly feminine, but not overly so.
Classic, old fashioned, “old lady” names. Husband and I like the same style and mostly the same names.
[name_f]My[/name_f] naming style is a bit everywhere, but at the moment, it seems to be leaning towards long and old fashioned names. But I’ve also got a lot of Greek and Latin, mostly from Greek or [name_m]Roman[/name_m] mythology. And my collection of Welsh, Scottish and Irish names is starting to build now. 
Only thing that’s certain is no or very few popular names; at least not ones popular here in [name_f]England[/name_f].
I tend to go for more classical and more feminine names. They are generally two syllables or over (I only have one 1 syllable name on a list of fifty), and have a tendency to end in ‘a’.
I prefer vintage names with a bit of spunk (Which are in style now-but that is what I like)-hubby likes old fashioned names. (So names that were cool when we were at school but are totally not in style).
British, classic, old-fashioned, old lady, vintage…
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites are in my signature
I’m basically the same, but a bit less classic/old-fashioned. Definitely British though! I have well over half of the [name_f]England[/name_f] and [name_m]Wales[/name_m] top 100 on my girls list :S
I think I’m all over the place, name-wise. I go for an overall vibe from a name, and it it fits what i could picture my child being like, i like the name. So far, my list is a mashup of vintage, British-inspired, hippie-ish, steampunk, daydreamy, and hipster names.
Like many others on here, I like mostly old lady / vintage names ([name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], etc). It’s hard to determine my husband’s style since his suggestions are so few and far between! He likes [name_f]Lila[/name_f] and [name_f]Lux[/name_f], and likes girls’ names with boy nicknames, like [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] for [name_f]Frances[/name_f]. So maybe his style could be called spunky names?
I like unusual but not made up names, mythology inspired names, classical names that have a musical, upbeat sound, names with a bit of spunk and almost whimsy, nature-inspired names. Apparently they all seem really British as well, so there’s that.
[name_f]My[/name_f] style is pretty eclectic. I mostly tend to lean towards the classical, mythological/literary, and frilly-with-an-edge. Looking at them all together, my favorites feel vaguely steampunk-ish.
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites tend to be on the quirkier and whimsical side of things. I love names entrenched in mythology, that have both a musicality and strength to them, that are not at all common, yet have a slight modern/contemporary feel.
I like frilly and long or short and spunky. But I am a fan of literature, mythology and using names related to my heritage/family. I am not impartial to names that others may see as just too religious like [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]. I am a huge fan of the time period between the 1880s and 1912. This particular era has always fascinated me in terms of fashion, hairstyling etc. But yeah, I kind of like to pair this names with more unexpected middle names, I just have to be mindful of popularity in Australia.
I like a lot of different styles of names. I love names that are strong, gorgeous, and striking; [name_f]Isis[/name_f], [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f], [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f], [name_f]Gwen[/name_f]. None of the names I like are too popular. I also like names of goddesses; [name_f]Athena[/name_f], [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f], [name_f]Isis[/name_f], etc. I do have a soft spot for classic names, though, such as [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], etc. - names that will never go out of style. A lot of the names I like are from many different origins - [name_f]Nadia[/name_f], [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f], [name_f]Gianna[/name_f], etc.
[name_f]My[/name_f] style is incredibly mixed, I appreciate names from almost all cultures, I think names are just generally beautiful.
But I plan on naming my own children names with very heavy English/Scottish/Irish or otherwise Celtic origins/usage. I love rare gems like [name_f]Fenella[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] etc. and hard-to-spell Gaelic names like [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] and [name_u]Ailbhe[/name_u]. I just feel lucky to be born onto an island with such a distinct history and culture, I’d like it to be apparent in my children’s names.
But a lot of my long list is exotic beauties like [name_f]Io[/name_f], [name_f]Naiara[/name_f], [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f], [name_f]Titania[/name_f], [name_f]Petra[/name_f]… naturey names like [name_f]Saffron[/name_f], [name_f]Bluebell[/name_f], [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] or old-Hollywood glamour types like [name_f]Lana[/name_f], [name_f]Eva[/name_f], [name_f]Greta[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f], [name_f]Marlene[/name_f], [name_f]Magda[/name_f], [name_f]Cece[/name_f].
[name_f]My[/name_f] style is all over the place. lol. I love ultra feminine and somewhat frilly names, but also short and spunky names. I don’t like most old lady names and I don’t like most unisex names (with the exception of a few like [name_u]Micah[/name_u]). I also love a lot of uncommon names.
Examples:
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeline[/name_f]/[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_u]Piper[/name_u]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f]
[name_f]Leonie[/name_f]
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f]
I like long frilly names usually ending in a for girls. [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f], [name_f]Miranda[/name_f], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_f]Callista[/name_f], [name_f]Luciana[/name_f], [name_f]Katerina[/name_f]
Like many, I’m a mixed bag, but I’ve noticed I can be very drawn to spunky names that I find to be a bit country-chic. Names that sound like sunshine, dresses and dirty knees: [name_f]Calla[/name_f], [name_f]Luella[/name_f], [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]. I also like names that bring to mind strength such as [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f], [name_f]Athena[/name_f], [name_f]Galilea[/name_f]. Feminine but not too frilly.
