Ugh it's like... plug in the white-people name of your choice, and everyone on BTN will go gaga, as long as it fits the Formula Of Acceptability

The list is creepily Stepford Wife-ish in the way it's perfectly tailored to fit BtN current favourites, isn't it? This list reads like one of our "what would you name a baby right now" threads.
I think the thing that makes it the most crazy is how EVERY NAME is so picture-perfect. There's no weird siblings, no boring middles, no bewildering spelling variations. Caspar David Akinwunni Akinyemi is the most interesting one because it deviates juuust slightly from the forumla of poshness.
I guess it's nice to see something so flawless, but it also makes it a total snooze-fest.

haha yeah, formula of acceptability.
I dunno if they're all white-people names, so much as they Could Be White. They're hipsterish middle-classy names ... self-conscious about how The Resume will look, and striving to salute and meet established measures of respectability - but obviously still determined to avoid an impression of mediocrity or conformism. Some seem to be names sought out from from name books and lists and websites, and picked because they're "un-common, but Legit(TM)," or they're antique and evocative and haven't been seen on anyone living today, or otherwise they just hit the coolness target.
That's fine with me. I like many of them and I relate to the style (except stuff like Calypso and Coco and Hero, and sibs Saskia and Algernon for Hector and Sophia - lol, I could never do that). But I think it's kind of funny to describe the list as "WONDERFUL" and get all excited about it, as if this style of names really is obviously great in itself. I assume that is not what Catalina meant - she's expressing an opinion of course - but it came off as kind of funny to me.

Right, I don't have a problem with it either, but using adjectives like "WONDERFUL" and "AMAZING" and "FANTASTIC TASTE" is kind of like walking into a room full of people with white socks and going "OH MY GOD I LOVE THESE FREAKING WHITE SOCKS. THEY'RE SO TASTEFUL"

lol
Yeah, nice analogy! haha

Really?
I think quite alot of average people wouldn't like alot of these names as they are more formal sounding and some are a bit over the top for my liking...
what would you prefer? Mykenzee's and Duhkohtas?

What exactly do you mean by this? I am not asking this out of spite, just genuinely interested. Do you mean very European names? What do you define as the formula of acceptability? I like some of these names, sure, but not all of them. Not to mention, I'm not sure if the OP that posted this knows this, but BA's in the London Telegraph are not reflective of all classes-they only print "middle class" BA's. England's middle class is equivalent to America's upper class, and many of these names are from families that are upstarts and trying to social-climb.

These have made my day :)
I especially like Henrietta Daphne Mabel and the sibsets you mentioned. And a real Hero.
Capability is terrible but I must admit to sort of liking Henry Capability.
Bring on part two!
