I’ve been obsessed with names since I was a little kid. Growing up in the 80s/90s, I named my Cabbage Patch Kids, and then my trolls (first and middle names for 80+ of them), characters in stories, and plenty of other things I made up. Choosing names was always an exciting, almost magical, experience. I’ve been keeping lists of my favorite names since then.I read through every name on this site, in alphabetical order, around 2009/2010.In 2016 I discovered that naming an actual baby is pretty different than naming trolls or thinking of names in an abstract way.The obsession continues into my 40s, and has shifted from names that I might use for a child someday to just… names that I like.
