Fun Ratings Exercise
I have a bit of a fun exercise. Choose your top male and female name (first and middle) and look up their "ratings" tab under their name. Click "find names with similar ratings" at the bottom of the "ratings" screen and choose a new name based on the names provided there. For example, my top names are Amelia Josephine and Henry Robert. The new names would be Isabel Eleanor and Thales William.If your top name doesn't have ratings, move on to your second favorite and so on and so forth.

Too hard to pick favorites, but I'm going to go with:Graham Asher becomes Gareth Callum - a lovely and similar type of namesand Stella Madeleine (or Madeleine Stella) becomes Sofia Annelise (or Annelise Leona)That was fun! post it in the games room, too - people play similar games in there. :)

Mine would be
Arianna Ophelia to Katarina Arabella which I think is great, there were a lot of other great names similar to the rating. Boys its a lot harder to choose favourite name
Dorian Oliver would be Valentine Julian which is a fantastic name really nice. Good idea

So my favourites are Rosetta and August. My new favourites are... Evangeline and Silas. I'm really impressed with this new feature! A lot of the "similar ratings" on my favourite name were other names I really liked.

I limited my self to the smallest degree of variance. Iris Adele and Malcolm Alexander become Melanie Loretta and Simeon Edward. Not bad, but I really only like Loretta. Thales is neat!

while we're looking at ratings...does anyone have any idea why Steven has been rated 3000+ more times than any other name?
vote up1
It seems like there is someone named Steven who is very clever with computers and spammed the ratings for it.

haha yeah...

That's a good question...Apparently there are also "No names found having ratings similar to STEVEN." Weird.

I'm going to limit myself to names with the lowest percentage of variance Helena Esmée Seraphina -> Sylvia Amandine Alethea
Ashley Jacob Evander -> Kristen Joey Dominic (only female names are listed and I'd have to go very far down in variance to find a unisex name, so I went with the most masculine sounding one there)The only name I like here is Dominic. Sylvia is okay too. Parisa Persephone Ai -> Laurelle Geneviève Fae
Mordecai Zia Storm -> Azrael Morgan KekoaAll the names in the boy combo are on my list, so yay. Fae is cute; I wish I'd had more options than just Laurelle because I might have liked the combo if I did.

I like Kristen better on a boy. I think it actually sounds more masculine than Christian.

Fun!Xanthe Opal Esther becomes Safiya Laurel MaeveAugust Felix Matthias "Gus" becomes Isaiah Malik August "Ted"Fun fact- I actually got a variant of my own name listed for Xanthe!

Eowyn Grace > Avalon Claire
- Not bad, though I've honestly never considered Avalon as a name before.It was a bit harder for me to even decide what my current top male name combo even would be, but I guess this works:
Roland Gabriel > Douglas Simeon or Gaspar Elias
- I guess I like Douglas Simeon better, but it was kind of surprising how many names I really like were right at the top (just 9% variance) for both.

Ooh, fun!Micah Wesley would be Asher Mathias.Cassandra Verity (technically not my top, but Janica isn't in the DB) would be Isadora Amity (although Rupinder Annemarie would also be kickin').Thales William is really handsome!
