Help[Opinions] Re: What is your normal name style?
in reply to a message by KK
My name style is mostly a friendly North American boy-next-door/girl-next-door style from the 1980s or 1990s or 2000s, but sometimes I like names that are more modern, more European, or less common than my existing style. And I actually like giving names that are considered "dated" my characters. Because I feel something refreshing. And since this is a fictional character, there are no risks, unlike naming a real baby.
And I don't like old-fashioned names, mid-20th century names, names with a lot of frills, names that start with vowels and have no consonants other than L and R but it's okay to start with a vowel and have consonants other than L and R. And I think timeless names and old-fashioned names making comeback are overrated. But there are exceptions to these, I love the timeless names of Andrew, Anthony, Daniel. Beverly, Carol, Cheryl, Laurie, Sherry are in my guilty pleasure PNL. And although they are name categories I don't like, I don't think they are inherently terrible and ugly.
However, the reason I don't like old-fashioned names or mid-20th century names may be due to my age bias, and especially mid-20th century names tend not to get much love, either in real life or on this site, it may be influenced by herd mentality.
