[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]. Hated it because I was bullied by one but I feel there’s enough time between me and that [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] to appreciate its charm now!

[name_f]Mary[/name_f]! I went to school with a very unpleasant [name_f]Mary[/name_f], but it’s been so long since I’ve seen her, so I adore the name now! 🫶🏼

[name_f]Violet[/name_f]! I hated it for the longest time. (the sound used to remind me of that one time I ate poison berries for some strange reason :thinking: and I was three, we don’t need to judge me :sweat_smile: ) but I think it’s quite sweet now!

[name_m]Eugene[/name_m]! Used to absolutely hate it, now it’s one of my favorite boy names!

I used to hate the name [name_f]Dina[/name_f] but now I like it so I will go with that. If it were to be a boy name, I used to hate [name_u]Austin[/name_u] due to my synesthesia, but I really like it now so I’d use that!
I don’t think I would use [name_f]Dina[/name_f] and [name_u]Austin[/name_u] as a sibset, though

[name_f]Brynn[/name_f], a very toxic and abusive friendship I had from 2nd grade to 7th grade

9

[name_u]Celeste[/name_u]! I used to hate the sound, but now I just think of stars and the animal crossing character :joy:.

10

[name_u]Henry[/name_u] - I used to strongly dislike it, but now it’s one of my favourite boy names!

[name_f]Freya[/name_f] + [name_m]Peter[/name_m]

I was badly bullied by both [name_f]Freya[/name_f] + [name_m]Peter[/name_m] I can appreciate them now!

12

[name_f]Vicky[/name_f], still not my absolute favorite but now I see it as clunky in a kinda fun way rather that irredeemably bad

13

[name_f]Eve[/name_f] -

I hated it because of a very annoying elementary school classmate but it’s been so long now I actually love the name.

14

I utterly hated [name_f]Ofelia[/name_f] (mostly because of a villain character named that) but now I love [name_f]Ofelia[/name_f]! So guess what name haha

15

i used to despise aurelia, but now i think it’s just lovely !! alternately, i’m pretty sure i hated agatha, but i can’t remember specifically, and now it’s one of my favourites !!

16

I used to dislike [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] a lot, but I have come to love her so I’d probably name my daughter that. For a son, I suppose [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]?

[name_u]Maria[/name_u]. I even left bad comments about it on another name website lol (something I never do! Don’t think I did it for any other name) Now I think it’s a beautiful timeless name.

[name_f]Ursula[/name_f] or [name_f]Morgana[/name_f]

Both [name_f]Disney[/name_f] villains and obviously I really disliked them. I was team [name_u]Ariel[/name_u]. I still love the name [name_u]Ariel[/name_u] tho. But yeah, I straight up found these names ugly and now I straight up find these names awesome and epic. Not sure if I would use them tho. I think old [name_f]Disney[/name_f] movies are classic and kids would watch them in the future as well. Don’t want them to feel ugly or evil in any way.

[name_f]Ursula[/name_f] - I think a gorgeous strong Nordic woman
[name_f]Morgana[/name_f] - I think beautiful, powerful, smart and witchy
