What are your top 5 names for girls?: umm.. these tend to change. At the moment they are Evadne, Annora, Susanna, Celia and Miranda
What are your top 5 names for boys?: well these change to. At the moment they are Caspian, David, Esmond, Nathaniel, and Laurence
What are your idea of "filler" names?: names that were chosen because they "sound good" or were chosen just because they needed a name. For example, if they couldn't come up with a name they'd just plonk Rose in there because it sounds pretty, with no family or inspirational reason whatsoever.
What is your least favorite name for each gender?: Caleb (not because of the meaning, because I can't stand the sound I make when I say it) and Madison.
What is your absoulute favorite name for each gender? well I don't do absolute fave names. I love names, my PL is very long. I suppose my longest favourite is Anisa (best friends name) and David, but my favourites change.
What is your usual naming style? My "usual" is whatever I like, I don't have a reason for liking a name. I like names that are not overused, have meaning to me and/or I like the sound of. I also like names that I can picture on a person of any age.
Do you use name generators? Not really, just the one on Btn when bored
If so, what are the web adresses for the generators you use?
Do you write stories? Yes, that is why I came here. Then I got hooked on names and I've been dwindling off the writing board recently.. must try and get back to posting there... but anyway
If so, does your character naming style differ from what you would normally use? Of course. The characters are named by their parents of guardians, so if their style is bibilical or creative for whatever reason then that's what their name shall be like. I'd never call a child Janelle, but one of my characters was.
For pets do you prefer traditional "people" names or non-traditional "pet" names? Since I've only ever had one pet, and I didn't name him, I wouldn't know. Probably whatever name struck me at the time and suited the animal.
Example? my dog was called Ben. It just suited him. My cousin had two guinea pigs, one called Charlie and another called Pops. It just sort of worked out that way.
