Help[Opinions] Big time purge: names removed from my PNL
Recently, I performed a humungous purge on my PNL (which I'd felt had grown too large), removing over 160 names. Even before shopping the list over on the polls to see others' opinions, I took off names that did not "spark joy." All in all, these were the names I removed:
Alaric Aravind Asad Avinash Azad
Bertrand
Cain Cedric Corbin Cormac
Damodar Devraj Dinesh Durai
Edwin Emeric Enzo
Farid Fenrir Forest
Haris Hasan Hereward
Isidro
Javed Jeffrey Julian
Kenzo
Leland Levi Lewin
Malachi Michael
Nadim Nasim Navid Nazir Niall Niles Nirav
Qasim
Rahul Rajiv Rakesh Raman Raoul Raul Ronan Ross
Sawyer Sayid Sean
Tiernan Tobin Trent
Vasant
Wenceslas Wulfhere
Zahid Zamir Zebulon
&
Acacia Adeline Alejandra Allegra Amaranta Angelique Annamarie Annelle Anoushka Aveza Aviana
Bernicia Blanche Brienne
Cassiopeia Ceres Cerys Chiara Cleo Clio Corinthia Cressida
Devana
Dawn Demetria Desiree Dominique
Eden Elise Eliza Ellavieve Elodie Eloise Emmeline
Fern Fernanda Fiona Francine Frida
Gabriella Gagandipika Ginevra Guadalupe
Herleva Hira
Imogen Inaya Inez Invidia Iseul Iseult Isidra
Jasminder Jocelyn
Keturah
Larissa Lavender Léa Leona Letitia Liora
Maia Maryam Mauve Merriam Miraflor Mirefleur Mridula
Nasrin Nilima Noura Nur
Olive Olwen Ovidia
Parvana
Queralt
Rhona Rupinder Ružena
Sadia Salvatrix Sandhya Saxa Siddiqa Sidonia Sidra Steliana Stiorra
Vale Valeria Velia Vernelle Véronique Virna
Wulfflæd
Xena
Zhenya Zoelle Zorya
&
Arrow (the only unisex name I removed)
Some of these were new placements on the list, whereas there were others who'd been on my PNL for some time. I did away with the "Ancient Names" sub-list entirely, and moved the vast majority of the survivors to my Guilty Pleasures list (with one name going to "Different Cultures" instead).
Not all of the poorly-received names on the polls were removed from my list, though I still used them for additional trimming. I've noticed that Indian, Arabic, and Persian names often don't get very good feedback on the polls.
Anyway, are there any names on the list that you like?

Regarding Julian: I don't know why, I just got tired of him. Idk, maybe he'll wind up back on the list again in the future. Levi is staying off, though, I've suddenly been turned off of the "vie" at the end.
I like names similar to Ronan (Rowan, Roman, Owen), but the repetitious N is giving me problems - similar to what I get with Aurora.
Didn't expect to see such a strong reaction to Eloise, though! But I prefer Eloisa (and Louisa to Louise).

These ones spark joy for me:

Desiree, Eloise, Fiona, Imogen, Jocelyn

I love Vale, Lavender, Liora, Eden, Cleo, and Forest but prefer Forrest atm.
I really like Emmeline, Demetria, Malachi, Tiernan and Trent.
I like Steliana, Mauve, Maia, Arrow, Leona, Fiona, Francine, Eloise, Cain, Cedric, Eliza, Eloise, Levi, Jeffrey, Adeline, Amaranta, Zebulon, Leland, Micheal, Sean, Tobin and Haris but much prefer Harris.
Great list, but I understand the need for clearing it. I wiped mine all the way so I could start from scratch!
