HelpThe not so easy partner congrats - SIGN UP (closed for now)
I've been thinking of this idea for a while and I finally came around to do it. :)
I love the typical partner congrats - but I think it can get pretty boring if your partner agrees to everything and both of you like the same kind of names. Life isn't like that, and there's a big chance that your IRL partner won't like all your suggestions.
So, I decided to do a "not so easy partner congrats". If you want to play, just fill in the form below and I'll do the rest. For round 1, I will assign you a partner whose naming style isn't exactly like yours. There might be some naming rules in this congrats,or not, I haven't decided yet.
SIGN UP FORM:
1. Is popularity a big issue for you?
2. How would you describe your naming style? (just a sentence or something, it doesn't have to be long)
3. Is the meaning of a name important to you?
4. Please list 3 names of each gender that you love

1. Is popularity a big issue for you?
Yes and no. I mostly like more unusual names, but I do like some popular names as well. I think combos with only very common names are somewhat boring and if I was to use a popular fn I'd choose a more unusual mn (or vice versa).
2. How would you describe your naming style? (just a sentence or something, it doesn't have to be long)
Somewhat diverse. I don't like or dislike names just because they are trendy, classic, biblical, made-up, unisex or something. I tend to stay away from word names spelled wrong, very creative spellings, overly religious combos, filler middle names, and boring unimaginative combos.
3. Is the meaning of a name important to you?
Negative meaning wouldn't stop me using a name I otherwise love. Positive meaning wouldn't make me use a name I otherwise hate, but it could make me use a name I that I think is okay but don't exactly love. I don't see overly religious meanings as positive.

1. Is popularity a big issue for you? No, but I'd prefer something that is not very popular.
2. How would you describe your naming style? I like Biblical names, as well as names that sound fairly British, maybe with a hint of French, too. Oh, and Shakespearean names are on my list, as are Saint names.
3. Is the meaning of a name important to you? They can be. If I find a name that has a meaning that I like, I'll probably start liking the name, too.

1. It's an issue, but not really a big issue. Trendy names turn me off, and unless I really love a name (e.g. William), I will probably shy away from something extremely popular (e.g. Sophia, which I would otherwise love). But I wouldn't be entirely opposed to it either.
2. Anything but modern. I usually go for traditional names but I also prefer them to be unique, as long as they're not ridiculously complex or difficult to pronounce. I would prefer names that work well in the English-speaking world since that's where I am. I like names with an old, historic, romantic sort of quality to them. And I have an inclination toward names that end in S or N, especially for boys.
3. Not really.
4. Cecily, Mercedes, Glenice; William, Tristan, Julian.
Also, I haven't signed up for one of these before, so if there's anything I should know please don't hesitate to explain! I've browsed other threads on this board and just get confused. (:

1. Is popularity a big issue for you? It is somewhat. I like some popular names but I would most likely not use them if they were too popular.
2. How would you describe your naming style? (just a sentence or something, it doesn't have to be long) My naming style is very diverse. I like a lot of biblical and classic names, but also some more modern names as well.
3. Is the meaning of a name important to you? If a name has a nice meaning it's a plus but it doesn't determine the name I choose.

Sounds fun!
1. Not really, at least for boys. I love Michael, Daniel, and Anthony, for example.
2. I love just about every name...seriously. But my personal taste leans toward clunky, old-fashioned names, with a strong emphasis on saints' names, in English, French, Spanish, and Italian.
3. Yes, but it's generally not the most important thing, unless the name is also a word (i.e. Frank).
4. Chester, Frank, and Saul ... Augustine, Lou, Jean.

Nice idea!
1. Is popularity a big issue for you?
Not really. I'd use a very popular name if I liked it but I would avoid very popular / filler middle names.
2. How would you describe your naming style?
I like classic and modern names from all/most languages. I dislike creative spellings and most made up names but there are exeptions.
3. Is the meaning of a name important to you?
Yes, but it's not a deal-braker.
4. Please list 3 names of each gender that you love.
Aurora, Phaedra, Helena & Henry, Alexander, Sebastian.

1. Is popularity a big issue for you? Not really...Maybe if its trendy, but if it's a classic like Grace, its not a big deal to me
2. How would you describe your naming style? I would say I really love classic names and nothing too "out there".

2. How would you describe your naming style? Unusual, but not eccentric. Mostly uncommon names, but people still can pronounce them. Mostly.
3. Is the meaning of a name important to you? Not that much.
