Re: Favorite kinds of names
in reply to a message by batsqueak
Some of my PNLs are called:
1. "ooo" sound names
2. "or" sound names
3. botanical
4. American
5. French + Scandinavian
Examples of names on the American list: Plutina, Thornetta, Katrell, Quana, Artelia, Gravity...
These are some names I almost posted for the top 10 in March (but didn't because I couldn't decide on 10):
Christabel
Walida
Jocosa
Knowledge
Miriam
Bryony
Marguerite
Georgiana
Richard
Roger
Balthazar
Baptiste
Raphael
Tariel
Laurentin
Bluebird
They're not my all-time favorites (although I consistently like Raphael and Miriam), but I do like them lately. My fondness for Richard was recent and unexpected; I started liking Arthur a lot more than usual at the same time. Baptiste is one I hate/love.
I tend to like *el names. I have one myself.
I tend to like holiday names (Candelaria, Praskovya, Loveday, Epiphany, that kind of thing).
Sometimes I feel like trendy names in the style of Halo, Harmoni, and Sevyn are charming.
I think Caribbean names tend to be interesting (Merline, Marytilde, and Edwidge come to mind, off the top of my head).
I tend to like archaic medieval names.
I like names that remind me of green.
