QuoteMy boys list feels so much more stylistically consistent than my girls.
I've found this to be true for me as well, in particular that my taste in masculine names has remained more static throughout the years than my taste in the feminine.From your list, I like:Elizabeth

Miranda Juliet
Sabrina LilyThere were several changes to this list from last month's (also, I noticed I actually put Kathryn in last month instead of Katherine, but it's an error that's too late to correct), particularly in the feminine names. Alaric, Tobias, Alice (formerly a middle), Edith (formerly a middle), Francine, Harriet, Marie, and Mildred replaced Dante, Stefan, Anneliese (now a middle), Caroline, Gabriella, Mara, Rochelle, and Winter. Honorable mentions go to Asa, Alexandra (now a middle), Felicity, and Rosamund (now a middle) since they were in the Top 10 in the interim.I also played more this month with triple-name combos, which I usually consider excessive (unless all the names are short). And I allowed some similarities between middles (Anneliese, Elise, Eloise), which isn't something I usually do.In addition, in the last couple months I've considered names - particularly feminine names - that I never would've considered earlier: Katherine (usually opted for Katarina or Katrina, or even Katrinel); Francine (Frances is an older favorite, and I've always considered Francesca before Francine previously); Edith (haha, just look at this post I made two years ago: https://www.behindthename.com/bb/all/5298883); Harriet, Marie, and Mildred (I like Dreda more than Millie as a nickname). And Alice was a name I would've dismissed as overly gothic and melancholic less than a year ago. How have my tastes become so... traditional?These were my Top 10 names/combos 10 years ago:Malcolm Cameron

Derek Adrian
Heath Everett
