HelpRe: How would you describe my taste in girl names based on this random sample of names I like?
in reply to a message by Rainya
Too many names there to characterize it in any specific way, for me ... to me it just looks like a list of names that might be fashionable in the Anglosphere circa 1980-2050.
The presence of names that have been popular since the 70s/80s and are more typically seen on adults now, plus the absence of anything really unusual, dated, or creative, and the seemingly curated variety of correctly spelled foreign names that I think seem fashionable in English, makes it seem somewhat conservative - if it's taken to be a list of potential names for a child not yet born.

A good description
Ahh, yeah, I like to think my taste in names is more creative/unusual than it actually is.
Well, I like most of the names. It's a good list!
If you broke it down into sibsets, or names considered for a character, styles might stand out more.
