HelpNames I've removed from my PNL
My PNL has always looked quite daunting, being 400 names long and all. Today, I decided to organize them by gender. I now have Character Names (M), (F), and (X). On top of that, they're all able to be rated! I decided that I really shouldn't care what other people think about the names I like.
Organizing my list has also made me evaluate every name on it more intently, and as such, I've dropped a lot of them. In no particular order, here are all the ones I've decided I don't like anymore, and have since removed:
Carmen
Lark
Holly
Indira
Guiomar
Diamond
Flannery
Stormy
Lake
Desdemona
Kit
Grier
Flavia
Janet
Lilith

Carmen - I like it but almost never think about it. Good for a character in a contemporary setting.
Lark - I like this, I'd use it as a middle name or for a cat.
Holly - Also like this but for a contemporary character (a bit too dated for a baby).
Indira - Love this, very pretty and dramatic. Could be a character in a wider variety of settings since it sounds a bit fantastical.
Guiomar - I never hear this! It sounds cool. I didn't know it was unisex, I thought it sounded all masculine.
Diamond - Too cheesy. I'm not sure why considering I like Emerald, Pearl, Jade, Ruby, Onyx, and even Obsidian as names, but that's how it is for me!
Flannery - Good as a middle name if there's a namesake behind it.
Stormy - Cheesy, but good for a gray cat. Even then I would use Storm nn Stormy, bot just Stormy.
Lake - I like sticking this in as a middle name for longer boys names where nothing else fits and the imagery of a lake seems to fit.
Desdemona - Love this name but it is barely usable since it has one big association (who dies) and not much else.
Kit - I've known one Kit, I think it was short for Katherine. It's cute and a little retro but not really my style.
Grier - Just a random surname, doesn't even sound remotely like a first name
Flavia - I like this. "Fla" isn't my favorite sound but it can be nice in the right combo.
Janet - I've known a lot of nice Janets but I don't care about the name at all. I like Jane and Joan.
Lilith - Has a reputation for being edgy but I like it, it has a nice mix of soft and serious sounds.

Indira is gorgeous. It is one of the most beautiful names. Because I'm not connected to India, I rarely include it on lists of my favorites.
Holly sounds loveable.
Grier is interesting, but autocorrect keeps wanting to change it to grief.
Flavia has a special spot in my heart because of Flavia de Luce.
Carmen Sandiego. Was she ever found?

I'm always so curious about why people feel the need to cleanse their lists. Is it because the lists are curated for a specific reason, like for a future child or pet?
Guiomar is fun, I like that. And Desdemona, always badass!
Janet is adorable for a little kid, I've decided. It's finally happening: I'm old enough to start appreciating Boomer classics on babies.

The purpose of my lists is to easily choose names for characters. If there's a name I don't like, I won't use it, so there's no point keeping it on the list anymore. To me, they're just clutter.
I like Carmen, Flavia, and Lilith.
