Recently, I decided to completely redo how I organize my favorite names. Among the lists of my overall PNL is a short one dedicated to names that I've decided are unusable for me in real life - and I used to exclude those from my Top 10 entirely. No longer.

---

Since I'm now incorporating into my Top 10 names that I wouldn't be able to use in real life (for whatever reason), I've also decided to no longer do combos in these lists. A separate post about combos, or (more likely) taking it to the polls, will suffice for me in terms of feedback. :-)

Anyway, here are my Top 10:

---

Nicholas
Wesley
Finn
Adrian
Tobias
Donovan
Malcolm
Jackson*
Richard
Dominic
&
Sabrina
Arielle
Miriam
Margot
Deirdre
Edana
Ruby*
Elena*
Zoe
Cassandra*

---

Adrian, Jackson*, Richard, Deirdre, Edana, Ruby*, and Zoe replaced Caleb, Derek*, Devon*, Daria, Elaine*, Naomi*, and Tamsin. Honorable mentions go to Lucan, Asa, Marguerite, Alice, Guinevere, and Philomena, which were all on my list in the interim (I reworked this list a few times in April).

---

Jackson, Ruby, Elena, and Cassandra are all still "unusable" for me (they're either my cousins, their kids, or friends' kids); but I've decided to move Margot into my regular list. The previous bearer is no longer in my life, and I won't let her ruin the name for me. Vive Margot!

Edit: ten years ago (May 2014), these were my Top 10 names:

---

Elliott
Dominic
Malcolm
Nicholas
Edmund
James
Scott
Wesley
Richard
Cameron
&
Clarice
Juliet
Ursula
Olivia
Scarlett
Diana
Cecily
Brigit
Guinevere
Sabrina

---

It's around this time, I think, that a lot of my permanent favorites began to be cemented.
