Aaaaaaa!!! They are so cheesy! I love this list ;)
I feel like Oak and Oaken aren't surprising.
Oaklyn,
Oaklynn and
Oakley, Oakleigh, Oaklee are so trendy right now. I didn't like them at first, but I don't mind them anymore. Oaken's a smidge nerdier because of The Hobbit but whatever. Alder seems vaguely the same style: sounds a bit like a surname (
Alden for example) plus a tree.
Grey is also trendy (
Grayson,
Greyson "
Grey").
Sparrrow?! Vessel?! Written?! Belay?! lol
Stori, Valleigh, and Crimsyn...I hate them on some level, but at the same time, I am so fascinated by trendily misspelled word names that are charting lately (like
Sevyn,
Stormi,
Birdie). They do sound namey to me, at least.
I prefer
Promise to Oath.
I prefer
Eartha and
Terra and
Neptune to Earth.
Nature is surprisingly common as far as rare word names go. I think it was used something like 80-90 times in 2021. I don't like it, but I don't feel like it's terrible.
Current reminds me of Cardi B naming her kids Kulture and Wave plus the footballer named Fashion. I think of an electric current. Again, I don't like it, but I've seen worse.
Ngl, I've had a name crush on Theory lately. And similarly, I like Reason as a GP...that one's actually sweeter than
Treasure in a way. I'd also like Knowledge.
Talon - I think of ripped fabric or of someone who would wear a claw necklace. I don't like it, but I don't think it's worse than
Tawny or
Fallon or
Tanner.
I like
Merrick. That one's so ordinary. It reminds me of
Maverick,
Derek, and
Merry, though, for good or ill.
I feel like somehow
Windsor is the most embarrassing. I might rather be
Royal, but it's a close one.
