HelpRe: Favorite kinds of names
in reply to a message by batsqueak
I like names from everywhere, but I have a soft spot for names that wouldn't work well in my language (English), maybe the spelling is too close to a certain type of word or it sounds close to something, but they're beautiful names.
I also like hearing clips of names from videos that I haven't heard before or from a group or region that is hard to find name sources on (at least sources in English as I'm terrible at languages). (I also watch subtitled tv shows/movies for the story and the potential new names that catch my eye/ear).
I like reading articles and seeing a name I haven't seen before.
I like longer names in general though.
I guess I like the discovery aspect of it, and those new names will be my favorites for a bit and be jotted down into my name notebook.

I like to keep lists too! I have a whole list in my notes app of interesting surnames I see at work. But for first names off the top of my head I think Leocadia sounded really interesting
