What's New?

[ljandrl]

Hi guys,

I'm sure there are a few of you who, like me, get a little bored of your same favourite names every now and again and need some inspiration outside of the usual Berry names we hear every day. Or maybe even just a name that you haven't paid much attention to before!

My own list is feeling a little stale right now, and half the names on it can't be used together, so I really want to fall in love with some new names.

I thought we could share our "lists" - I know most of us have them! The ones you have used, the ones you'll definitely use, the ones you may use, the guilty pleasures, the ones you want to use but can't, the ones you'll use in the middle, the ones you've newly discovered yourself? So what do you have? Here's mine:

Claudie, Penelope, Aria, Ivy, Adeline, Harriet, Phoebe, Matilda, Jessamine, Cecily, Rosaline, Rosanna, Rosalia, Anneliese, Maeve, Angelica, Tabitha, Milena, Thea, Genevieve, Cordelia, Alma, Alice, Brienne, Clementine, Wren, Ariana, Calla, Cassia, Cleo, Enid, Dahlia, Indigo, Jane, Hadley, Martha, Evenie, Hania, Josephine, Molly, Lyra, Leonie, Mirabelle, Sanne, Mira, Lelia, Zaria, Tessa, Sidonie, Quinn, Cosette, Lark, Holland, Lilac, Nola, Greta, Marlo, Louisa, Giselle, Primrose, Lucina, Serena, Clemency, Kerensa, Isaline, Linnea, Rosemarie, Talullah, Savina, Valentina.

Can't wait to hear your lists!

Lachlan Alexander, Evander Alcott, Theron Xavier, and in that order.

Corisande Hermione, Odessa Jane, Althea Caro, also in that order.

Isabelle "Belle/Bella"
Arianne "Ari"
Olivia "Liv/Olive"
Charlotte "Lola"
Violet
Rachel
Anais "Annie"
Annika "Annie"
Annabel "Annie"
Anneliese "Annie"

The first six are my fairly set short list (I'm pretty sure those six have been my favorite for a year, maybe even two, for most of those names... Violet's the most recent addition but I don't see her going anywhere...), others are just the rest I'm considering for my list or recent crushes...
