HelpHow would you compare your taste in names to fashion?
If I were to compare my tastes to fashion, I compare it to a t-shirt or jeans, which is urban, casual and has a low barrier to entry.

I like anything vintage, retro, funky, archaic, or rare. It doesn't mean that I am going to wear it but I am going to keep it.
(doesn't necessarily have to be Jewish but more simple)
My taste in names can look like a Jewish maiden from a lonely shtetel, not anything too fancy, but has a well-kept style and attracts everyone's attention, (Aya, Amalya, Zusa, Gittel, Beila, Tesharna, Yutke Leni, Leibe, Irma, Herta, Hemma,
(I was unable to upload the picture)
(doesn't necessarily have to be German)or a humble German noblewoman who is dressed up in 19th-century gowns and isn't too picky with her clothes but has a unique style. (Berta, Brunhilde, Adalheid, Heidemarie, Gerta, Dorothea, Seraphima, Judea, Martha, Dinah, Adah, Shiffa, Sabiha, Majida, Atarah, Alma, Rita, Pandora, Maigret, Henna, Iris, Adara, Ataliah)
(When it comes to male names I have a similar taste:
the first category: Yudke, Yehudah, Eli, Chaim, Moishe, Mendel, Ali, Mirko,
the second: Isadore, Israel, Gavriel, Adone, Ovediah, Edward, Adalbert, Adaiah, Atallah)

It would be a wide array of styles, but it would have vintage appeal, for the most part.
Rococo style dress.
Comfort over formality, almost every time. My style depends on my mood, though. Something frilly or shiny might be comfortable one day and then the next day, something with holes and purposely mismatched colors are more comfortable. So even though I like common names like Emma, Joy, Allen or Morgan, I also enjoy names that many people may not like, because they seem too outrageous to give to children. My guilty pleasures include Verity, Dream, Lolita and Tranter. I've been called out by the fashion police so many times for thinking that my ugly outfits were beautiful. I guess you could say that the name police might be ticked off, too.
Great question!
What comes to mind for me in the Dior Fall 2022 Couture show... https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/fall-2022-couture/christian-dior
Classic and/or traditional with understated embellishment, and a couple more punchy numbers :)

Oh, very interesting. Most of the names I love would wear fancy dress - I can't imagine a Sophronia or a Cassiopeia in a t-shirt and jeans. They'd wear this dress. Which I would kill for, but in real life, I dress like a librarian haha. Though I can sometimes me found in shimmering floor-length skirts and frilly Victorian blouses.
I love this dress!
Fascinating question!
I wear feminine but tough clothes (a feminine shirt with a black leather skirt or a bright coloured minimalist dress with a bare back) so perhaps a mix of urban and edgy? I think it can correspond with my naming style (Cricket, Lawrence “Law”, Boone, Sage) although maybe does are more ‘country & western’?

If I may ask, is Cricket the game or the insect?
I presume the sport in the UK and the insect in the USA? But to me it’s just a nickname I love for Christina. I once read a book where a character was named Cricket and I’ve loved it since.
Traditional. My girls names wear simple cotton dresses and hair ribbons. My boys names wear calico shirts. Pretty much my fashion taste anyway!
I'd say most of my names wear suits and hats. I like old fashioned biblical names (though their biblical namesakes wore man-gowns) and English surnames turned first names (Wellesley, Lowthian, Trevelyan, Washington, etc.)
