I have a thing for names. I'm serious, like dude it's not even funny. I have notebooks full of names that I found. I write down every single name from a book I have ever read. I look up name meanings for fun. I take names out of word problems! I seriously love names. It's not a illogical thing, I mean names make me happy! If you give me a super pretty name I'm like, "Wow!" I wanted to share my favorite names with all you people. In this list, I have my favorite names, along with their origins, meanings, and maybe some celebrities with those names. Thanks For Reading.
