HelpWhat are your favorite letters/sounds in names?
In girl names, mine are the letter L (especially the -elle sound), the ph sound (usually within a name and not at the start), and the letter C (both sounds). I also love names that end with A.
In boy names, I like the letter B, the letter T (especially at the end) and the letter N (especially at the end again, but also really good within names).

I love Ls and Ms. Ks usually over Cs.
I also love Ms, by the way! I considered including that in my original post, but I didn't want to list too many things.

I tend to prefer Cs in most cases, but there are a few exceptions. In particular, I think K can make an old-fashioned name like Catherine and Caroline look modern. In fact, I love Karoline, but hate Caroline, even though they're the same name.
V ending is fascinating! That's not very common.
Yep, so I'm sort of collecting them. They remind me of fantasy characters, especially girl names.
In girl names: the letter A, the letter E, the letter L and the letter M.
In boy names: the letter N, the letter K, the letter L and the letter S.

Y sounding endings
Interesting! I have mixed feelings about those. I think modern Y endings are horrible, but they were very pretty prior to the 2000s.
I only like the classic onea
In my case, I like names that start with K/hard C (ex. Kelsey), S/soft C (ex. Simone) and J (ex. Jason). And for endings, I like names that end in n/ne regardless of gender, (My three favorite names for each gender right now are Austin, Caitlin, and Shannon. And these all end in n) And I like girls names that end in -elle and -ca. (ex. Giselle/Monica). And I think I like names with “sh” or “br” in them. (ex. Ashley/Gabrirlle)

Interesting! I think I prefer the "sh" sound when it's in names rather than at the beginning. I only like names that end with N on boys; I dislike them on girls. I also love names that end with -ca! I was thinking about that recently. :)
Thank you. And what do you think about girl names ending with r and ce/s/se?

I think girl names that end with R can be gorgeous or awful depending on the other sounds of the name. I love Blair, Skylar, Summer, Taylor, Winter, and Juniper; but I hate Harper, Piper, Palmer, Sawyer, and Greer.
I only like names that end with the S sound if it sounds like "ees", as in Anais, Denise, and Charisse. I hate names like Alice, Doris, and Frances.
