I’m not sure if there’s already a thread out there but I love reading the replied to things like this, so… what are your top 10 (single) names for both genders?

Mine are…

  1. [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] & [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
  2. [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] & [name_f]Erin[/name_f]
  3. [name_u]Jay[/name_u] & [name_f]Hallie[/name_f]
  4. [name_m]Will[/name_m] & [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
  5. [name_u]Parker[/name_u] & [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
  6. [name_m]Connor[/name_m] & [name_f]Natalie[/name_f]

The order changes around literally every day but this is it roughly. My top five are pretty solid but the rest trade in and out (they’re mostly middles for the top five, actually).

Mine is all over the place at the moment. Being pregnant and having my SO veto my absolute favourite names has left me a bit uninspired and out of love with names at the moment, unfortunately. The ones with an asterisk are SO approved and the ones with a hash symbol are ones I can’t use for some reason (either SO or popularity).

It’s hard for me to decide on favorite first names when they’re not paired with a middle! Combos and nicknames are easier so I’m not even sure about my favorite stand-alone firsts but it’s probably something like this:

  1. [name_m]Prosper[/name_m] ([name_f]Ro[/name_f]/[name_u]Peri[/name_u]) & [name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f] ([name_f]Lila[/name_f])
  2. [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] (Nai) & [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] (Prim)
  3. [name_m]Oswin[/name_m] ([name_m]Ozzie[/name_m]) & [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
  4. [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] & Mirrin ([name_f]Miri[/name_f])
  5. [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] & [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]
  6. [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] & [name_f]Celestia[/name_f]
  7. Knightley ([name_u]Kit[/name_u]) & [name_f]Evelia[/name_f] ([name_f]Eila[/name_f]/[name_f]Liv[/name_f])
  8. [name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m] ([name_m]Thorne[/name_m]) & [name_u]Winter[/name_u]
  9. [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] & [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]
  10. [name_u]River[/name_u] & [name_f]Leonie[/name_f]
  11. [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] ([name_m]Cas[/name_m]) & [name_f]Alethea[/name_f]

Probably not exact but something along those lines, though there are quite a few I’d probably never really use for one reason or another!

11
  1. [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] & [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]
  2. [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] & [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]

  4. [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] & [name_m]Horatio[/name_m]
  5. [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] & [name_m]Nikolai[/name_m]
  6. [name_f]Demelza[/name_f] & [name_m]Artemus[/name_m]
  7. [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] & [name_u]Indigo[/name_u]
  8. [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] & [name_u]August[/name_u]
  9. [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] & [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m]
  10. [name_f]Anna[/name_f] & [name_m]Prosper[/name_m]
