I'm sure this is really self explanatory, but what names do you love? It could be because of the meaning, significance in your life [A family member, famous person], or just because you like it! I'd love to see people's lists!My favorite girl names [At the moment ;)]:
-Saskia
-Sedona
-Catherine
-Katariina [Literally just the Finnish variant of Catherine]
-Jane
-Ingrid
-Mary
-Elizabeth
-Genevieve
-Leah
-Lilja
-Alexandra
-Laura [I find myself saying Laura a lot lately, I don't know, I just love how it sounds!]
[You can probably see a common theme here, I really enjoy the good old basic classics!]Boys:
-Lauri
-Elias
-Andres
-Alexander [Aleksandr]
[I suck at boys names, but I try to pick ones that I see in books or just people in general that make me think 'that sounds nice']Feel free to criticize my choices and share your own!

I get that! For some reason boys names are really hard for me! I love the name Clara though!

You can never go wrong with Alice! I think Maria goes with anything, it's such a timeless classic.

Tristan reminds me of Tristan and Isolde, which is one of my absolute favorite stories of all time! Jade is adorable
