Favorites Survey

[jame1881]

I have a lot of different categories of names that I like, and I like making/taking surveys. So, this is a survey on my favorite types of names. Please choose ONE name for each question; if you hate all in the category, please pick the least worst. Two are acceptable if you are really stuck. It is okay to use a name more than once.

What is your favorite... (boys or girls)

1. French name?
2. Irish? (Bonus: how do you feel about Gaelic spellings?)
3. Name from a TV show? (from which show?)
4. Name from a book? (from which book?)
5. Name with "anna" in it?
6. Name with "rose" or meaning rose?
7. Ending in -wen?
8. Ending in -een or that sound?
9. Ending in -line?
10. Ending in -ette?
11. Ending in -iah or -ah?
12. Old people name? (for actual use or not)
13. Ending in -rick?
14. Ending in -tt?
15. Place name?
16. Flower name?
17. Gem name?
