General Name Discussion
1

What are your top names that you like right now in 2023? You can post your top 5, your top 10, or however many you want!
If you know your top names of 2022, what has changed? I wanted to make this post to be able to look back on in 2024, so we can see how our name tastes have changed over the year!

I’ll post my own below!

(p.s. if I don’t respond it’s because I get anxious, I love seeing all the responses and will try my best to respond though!)

  4. wrenley
  5. haven

boys :ear_of_rice:
