Full Lists...
I've been a name nerd for years.
If you're anything like I am, you have a list of names half a mile long.
I want to see full lists.
I think they give a great idea of people's tastes and allow for good conversations and perhaps we can all find a few new names we like on others' lists.So if your list is 12 names long or 12000 names long, post them!I'll post mine in a reply below.

2,234...This is my full list (names I love, names I like, GPs, character names, and alternate spellings that I like). What I term my full list is a list of every name I've encountered or come up with that I don't want to lose track of, though I do also have a much shorter list of favorites. This is going to be a long one...Female

Actually......I deleted my PNL a while ago.I just felt adding names and having people rate them and writing little comments and notes about them was too time-consuming. Names don't interest me the way they used to.So, my number is 0.

my pnlI think it pretty much has all my favorites on it. atleast my most favorites(:
http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/114008I don't just put names I like on it, that would be too long. also, there's a lot of names that I like that aren't on this site.I used to have a giant list on my computer but I kept deleting names off of it and cleaning it up ): so there's not much left of that after I started my pnl. and what really sucks is that I lost all my old favorite combos now.

Rune -fabulous
Sebastian -There's a character in a story of mine named Sebastian. Can't seem to make him fall in love with any character I put with him. *eyeroll*
