Just an assortment of names I have collected over the years that hopefully in the future I will be able to pull from when I have my own bundle of joy. Some of the names are just for fun and because I like how they sound, I wouldn't actually name my child that. For example: Alucard, Dracula spelled backwards, while fun it is much more suited for a pets name. I believe in saving the quirky and funky word names for a middle name or for your pets but never a first name.
