My name is Katherine! I also really like Scarlett and Helen is just beautiful. I also love Madeline. I would say I like some from each list.List 1. I like Caroline, Helen, Katherine, Rosemary, and Scarlett. I don’t like Evangeline, Geraldine, and Gwen. The others are fine
List 2. I like Adrienne, Brooke, Carly, Courtney, Erica, Julie, Lacey, Madeline, Paige, and Rose. I don’t like Holly, Patricia, Rhiannon, Vanessa and Wendy. The others are decentI think both lists are good, but I lean toward list 2. The ones I dislike on list two, I tend to dislike them more strongly. However I don’t like Patricia, but I like Trisha or Trish.

I really don't enjoy these ones: Evangeline, Gwen, Scarlett, Brooke, Carly, Chelsea, Courtney, Holly, Kelsey, Lacey, Paige.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Interesting! I love several of the names on your old list and dislike most of the names on your new list.

That’s interesting because I greatly prefer the new list, haha.
Thank you.
It looks like your taste become less classic/vintage and more 80s/90s. It also looks like you use to have a major preference for names that end with the N sound, but it’s less prevalent now.
Thank you. I think the reason for that is the influence of becoming an English name nerd and learning about USA culture and UK culture.
