I absolutely love Shinobu, I have no idea why but it's always sounded so cute to me

I feel like Mami doesn't get used a lot lately but I'm oddly drawn to how cutesy it sounds

I've begun to like Yō thanks to Love Live (and I'm not even a fan)

These lists are really fun. I've heard that Fumi is sometimes considered old fashion and Tomomi sounds a little dated somehow, but they could be coming back in style for all I know. I like...
