Re: Survey (short)
in reply to a message by quigonjecca
What are your top 5 names for girls?: Millicent, Beatrix/Beatrice, Delilah, Cordelia, Winifred, Matilda (yes, that is six, seven depending on how you count)
What are your top 5 names for boys?: Henry, Charles, Augustus, Leopold, Edgar
What are your idea of "filler" names?: Usually middle names-names that are over used as mns, names that are easy to use as mn because they sound good with almost anything (the reason they became fall back names in the first place!) Elizabeth, Grace, Marie, Louise, Michael, James, Joseph, Brian
What is your least favorite name for each gender?: Jonathan, I can't explain why I hate this name. I think it is the only name I truly hate. At least the only one I've consistantly hated. I don't have a disliked girls name. OH! Miranda. I dislike that name.
What is your absoulute favorite name for each gender? Aside from Adelaide and George(my childrens names) Today it would be Millicent and Henry. Millie and Harry.
What is your usual naming style? Ummm, the name-raiding-the-old-folks-home style? Is that a style?
Do you use name generators? nope
If so, what are the web adresses for the generators you use?
Do you write stories? sometimes
If so, does your character naming style differ from what you would normally use? I use names that I wouldn't actually use for any future children. Still tend to shy away from super trendy and creative names. I try to find names that suit the characters(shocking, I know), and since I made up their personalities I have a little more leeway than real life, when I can only guess or hope as to who or what a child will someday be or become.
For pets do you prefer traditional "people" names or non-traditional "pet" names? Both, mostly people names
Example? I've had Dandy (nn for Dandelion, though I didn't name that one), Radar(didn't name him either), Kelly, Shelly, Bear, Melinda, Bengal, Smokey, Pepper, Buzz, Louis Adonis, Belly, Maya Eloise, Miguel Evan, Pippa
