Does anyone else have names that they like on some days and aren’t a fan of on others? [name_u]Or[/name_u] just names you can’t decide how to feel about? The biggest one on my mind lately has been [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - there are times when I’ll vote for [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] in polls, etc. and others where I’m like [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]? I don’t know her…
Definitely! That’s how I feel about Catherine… some days it’s a realistic choice for a future child and other days I won’t even vote for it in polls. Same with [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], I used to love it and now I go back and forth by the day
I feel that way about [name_f]Clover[/name_f]. It was our top choice for awhile but I waver all the time. I have been liking it a lot again recently but…
Sooo much. [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] fits this for me, the whole reason I started using Nameberry was to sound out my love for [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] but now I’m like about it - some days the thought of my husband saying it aloud makes me super broody and some days I think it’s boring af (and I was surprised to hear it coming out of my mouth when a friend was asking for baby name ideas - obviously I can’t be that keen if I would willingly give it away )
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] as well. Sometimes it sounds perfect, sometimes too prissy. Also [name_m]Bertram[/name_m], [name_f]Selena[/name_f], [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m].
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] for me. I love the look and many of the associations, but I have been so oversaturated with Ellies over the years. Sometimes I vote for it, and sometimes I don’t.
yes! names that are this way for me are charlotte, lois, and foster. some days the feel perfect and other days they just don’t feel right!
charlotte reminds me of a bad teacher, lois can feel way too old lady/superman one day but seems ready to be revived the next day, and i adore the name foster but the connection to foster care makes me unsure how usable it is
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] and [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]
Some days I like [name_f]Verity[/name_f] and want to put it on my list. Other days I can’t stand the sight of it. I think it’s because I can’t find a nickname I like.
Some days I think [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] is right up my alley. Other days I can’t separate it from my association with the show Monk. Maybe another association will take its place someday.
My main one is Alice! Some days it’s lovely, others it’s just a bit lacking. Some days the spelling is perfect and balanced, others all I can see is “a lice.”
There’s a lot of names I’ve convinced myself I love (but don’t actually), like August and Hugo. I’m warming up to them now but for a while it was obsession one day and dislike the next!
Yes! I have lists of them that some days I feel like the names are perfect and other days I wonder why do I even like that name. It happens more for girls names for me I feel, a lot of them have days where they seem fresh and new and cute while other days they’re frumpy or I think of a bad association and I fall out on them
[name_m]Linus[/name_m] - sometimes it’s the cutest and sometimes I don’t like how it sounds very much.
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] - sometimes I find it pretty and I love the meaning, sometimes I have an inexplicable aversion to it!
[name_f]Mable[/name_f] - one I came to love because I looked after a lovely child with this name. But sometimes I revert to my previous feelings (that it doesn’t sound very much like a name).
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] - I’ll adore this one minute and find it too ‘lispy’ the next.
