HelpAmong the names you like, which ones are different from your usual name categories your like?
In my case, the name “aesthetics” that I “usually” like is close to the North American “Boy/Girl next door” aesthetic of the 1980s or 1990s or 2000s. But some of my favorite names are more European (Anneliese, Camille, Giselle, Simone) or more modern (Avery, Autumn, Eden, Indigo, Naomi, Quinn, Reese, Sage, Winter), or less common (Adele, Adrienne, Darcy, Estelle, Heath, Phoebe, Rhiannon).

Lately, I've been suddenly liking a lot of names that either never caught my eye before or that I even really disliked in the past.
I've been liking a lot of "dated" names but definitely not comeback-ready dated names like Denise, Erin, Gina, Brenda, Christa, Lindsey, and Jeffrey.
And a lot of trendy and/or odd/wild most on this board would definitely gag at like Bunny, Channing, Dream, Harlow, Jancey, Melody (a bit more acceptable for BtN), Rooney, Sapphire, Nova, Serenity (not as bad I don't think?), Paris (f), Liberty (but I do hate the ultra-patriotic connotations), Carrington, Jaiden (not currently any of the things I listed but definitely a pretty collective board "ick"), Jensen, and Xander (again, not as bad). Of course these are all subjective, I don't intent to speak for all of BtN, just from my experience.
I also like Skyler for both genders. Maybe Schuyler? I've gone back & forth for years. Definitely Skyler > Skylar though.
I also like Quinn (f) a lot as of late! Other names that differ from my general style: Keanu, Odysseus, Orion.
*Of course these are all names I just like and not what I'd actually call a child.
A handful of my favorites I think showcase my general style are Amara,

I tend to like word names and nature names. I am picky with old fashioned or old-sounding names, so it is surprising that I enjoy:

Thank you.
Ingrid is the odd one out on my PNL. I have no idea why I like it; it has elements I normally hate.
Thank you.
I tend to like traditional names and 80s-2000s names. However, I’m not sure if people would call Scarlett a traditional name. I wouldn’t call it traditional, but I wouldn’t call it trendy either. I do like Anneliese a lot. Some that might not fight my general style.
1. Scarlett
2. Elana
3. Eliana
4. Mavis
5. Chiara
Honestly, the boy names all fight my general style.

My name taste is sort of all over the place. Generally, my opinion is based on the meaning.
Thank you.
