What are your top 5 names for girls?: This is difficult and kind of arbitrary. First names: Charlotte, Adele, Judith, Maria, Alice. But I wouldn't use Charlotte or Maria.
What are your top 5 names for boys?: Simon, Ivan, Milo, Ferdinand, Henry, Theodore, Gideon, Hugo. Wouldn't use Henry.
What are your idea of "filler" names?: On girls (all I can think of): Elizabeth, Anne or Ann, Nicole, Rose, Leigh or Lee, Lynn, Marie. Boys are usually Alexander or William, though I like these much more than the girls'. Umm I think they're a complete waste of the mn slot. I wish these parents would let me name their kids.
What is your least favorite name for each gender?: Hard, but I'd say Kristen or Kayla, and Braxton or Blake. (Not counting creative spellings and that kind of thing.)
What is your absolute favorite name for each gender? Charlotte, Simon.
What is your usual naming style? Recognizable/normal/traditional but distinctive first names (why I wouldn't use Charlotte or Henry), fun/ridiculous middle names.
Do you use name generators? No
Do you write stories? Yes
If so, does your character naming style differ from what you would normally use? Yes, it varies from story to story. I like using names I don't like very much because I wouldn't use them otherwise. (That doesn't make a lot of sense, I know.) Even my imaginary friends have names I don't like very much. There was a story I wrote where all the characters had word names (main characters Extra, Concept, Dimenuendo "Fade," Cadence before it was popular, Incident, Twig), and I love making up science fiction names. And then ordinary people stories are usually ordinary but slightly off-beat names.
For pets do you prefer traditional "people" names or non-traditional "pet" names? Uhh, I don't know. I like ridiculous names for pets. I'd never name one, say, Chloe or Max - how boring! I guess I like people names, or else really evocative word names, or something. I'm not impressed when people name their dog Horse or Cat or something, it's not very creative.
Example? My dogs are Fidel and Che, which fits them well. Can't think of any more. Robespierre would be a good dog name. So would Deathrock Lavacorpse. Or, I don't know, Mercury.
