Francesca's Personal Name List

Name M/F Remark Rating
Zimri m
Zheng m
Yves m
Xerxes m
Wulfric m
Wolfgang m  Without a German ethnic-background and surname (neither of which I possess), "Wolfgang" should never be put to use. 
Winoc m
Willard m
Warren m  I have always struggled in a love/hate relationship with this name. Paired with certain surnames, it is fantastic; paired with certain surnames, it is an atrocity. 
Walter m  Definitely an 'old man's name'... but it would be entirely refreshing and handsome on a young man. 
Vulcan m
Volkan m
Vladimir m
Vittorio m  "Tor(e)" would be an interesting nickname. 
Vitale m
Virgil m
Vincenzo m  "Vinny" or "Vinnie." 
Viggo m
Vasil m
Valko m
Valère m
Valentino m
Valentine 1 m
Valentin m
Umberto m  It runs numerous risks in English-speaking countries, sadly. My ardor will live on, though. 
Ugo m
Turin m
Tuor m
Torleif m
Torgils m
Torcuil m
Tin m  "Tin" has definite potential as a diminutive for numerous names. 
Tiberius m  Any Trekkies out there?

Thomas m  Besides this being a splendid name itself, I have known many a "Tom"/"Tommy"/"Thomas" bearers who give it a respectable reputation. 
Thiago m
Theodore m
Thanatos m
Tasgall m
Taliesin m
Tabassum m & f
Sylvester m  "Sylvester" accompanies and nurtures such remarkable potential. The Italian "Silvestro" stands equally. 
Stylianos m
Stefano m
Spartacus m  One of the single most pretentious names available. I love it, nonetheless. 
Solon m
Slade m  There is something slimy and deceiful about "Slade" that is very imprisoning. 
Sjra m
Sirius m
Sinclair m  The reason for "Sinclair"'s presence on my list is a mystery. I think has potential as a character name, and obviously as a surname. 
Silvestro m
Sheldon m  While I would never use it, it is very oddly alluring... and growing in questionable popularity. 
Shane m  I have traditionally always possessed a strong hate for this name... but since I have become a fan of The Walking Dead, civility and appreciation has developed for "Shane." 
Shalev m & f
Severus m  The same as "Severo." Truly enchanting. 
Severo m  A hands-down favorite! Professional, mysterious, utterly amazing. 
Séafra m
Scotty m  I keep screaming for you to beam me up! Why aren't you listening, Scotty? - A charming nickname. 
Saveliy m
Savaş m
Saul m
Santo m  While I personally see it as phenomenal, I highly doubt that children would be able to resist "Santa Claus" jabs. 
Santiago m
Salvatore m  Need I fabricate a reason? It is a splendid, strong name to bear.

Salathiel m
Sal m  Nickname to "Salvatore."

Ryder m & f
Ryan m
Rutger m
Rufus m

Rocky m  Likely as a nickname for "Robert(o)." 
Riccardo m  Nickname "Ricky." 
Rhett m
Ren m  "Ren" has long been a name of fidelity to me. Rewind into my childhood, I had a character that I used to sketch with this name. 
Rémy m
Remus m  Even though I am a fan of the Harry Potter books, it is not the sole reason of my liking for "Remus." 
Redmund m
Redmond m
Reagan m & f  Ah, Mr. Ronald Reagan... where have you gone? The world needs you dearly. 
Raymond m
Ransu m
Raniero m  Nickname "Nero"... although it is very controversial. 
Ralph m  I've always wanted to meet a "Ralph" and call him "Ralphie-Boy." Hah. 
Raimondo m
Radek m  Very contemporary, very odd... never would I have imagined my liking for it, but I do. I suppose the occurrence can be credited to it appearing rather 'alien'; potentially Vulcan. 
Prosper m
Porfirio m
Pippin 2 m
Perseus m
Peregrine m
Paulie m  Used as a nickname. 
Paul m
Patrick m  Perhaps a bit 'common'... but it is timeless and free of tarnishes.

Orhan m
Onesiphorus m
Omri m
Odovacar m
Odin m

Neal m
Narek m
Mstislav m
Mortimer m
Morgan 1 m
Mordecai m
Moran m
Monet f & m
Milton m
Miklós m
Miervaldis m
Michelangelo m  Terribly pretentious... but I am drawn to it, and to it's many potential nicknames.

Merlin m
Melker m
Melchiorre m  Used with the intention of nickname'ing "Mel" or "Mick(ey)." 
Melchior m
Maverick m
Marius m
Marilyn f & m  This name raptures my being! ...particularly on the male gender, which I understand will not be the vast view. 
Marco m  It is great, but I feel that it is a bit expected of Italian-American parents, nowadays. 
Marcello m
Manolo m  I first encountered the name while watching the film "There Be Dragons," and consequently began a rapid love of it. 
Malachi m
Magnus m
Lux m & f
Luke m  I am constantly altering my opinion of "Luke." Certain days it makes me want to vomit; certain days it makes me want to grin in positivity. 
Luciano m  "Luca" would be a fantastic diminutive. 
Lucan m
Louis m  Pronounced "Loo-Ihs." 
Louie m  Marvelous nickname, usable from many first names.

Jethro m
Jesper m
Jean 1 m
Jared m
Janus m
Jack m  I cannot begin to explain how I adore "John"'s many diminutives!

Ivan m  Among other things, "Ivan" seems extremely masculine to me. It is phenomenal. 
Ildefonso m
Igor m
Ian m  "Ian" has always been a name that I did not despise, but at the same time, never truly liked. It has since grown on me, minimally. 
Humphrey m
Hugo m  I cannot shake how smitten I am with this name! Under-appreciated, it is. 
Hugh m
Howard m
Hikaru m
Hershel m
Hercule m
Henry m  If you asked me why I have such an adoration for "Henry," you would soon find that I am unable to answer. Certain names just possess an unexplainable calling to you... this is one, personally. 
Hélder m
Heber 1 m
Hayden m  I would never use it. As a character, it's fine. 
Harald m
Hannibal m  I like it, oddly. Never would use it, regardless. 
Hank m  A nickname of "Henry." While I understand the culturally and contemporary distaste, my view will not falter.

Glenn m
Giovanni m  A definite favorite. 
Gilroy m

Ferenc m
Ferapont m
Felix m
Falk m  Fantastic! "Falk," "Falk!" 
Evaristus m

Errol m
Erramun m
Ernesto m  A name with multiple family-ties. 
Enoch m  I would use the nickname "Nucky." It seems to have a classic air; very strong and calm. 
Émeric m
Elwood m  It is so horrible it's... perfect. 
Elrond m
Elkan m
Eliseo m  A positively undeniable favorite. It is fantastic! "Eli" could easily function as a nickname, particularly because I live in an English-speaking country (the United States.) 
Eligio m
Eli 1 m  A nickname for either "Eliseo" or "Eligio." 
Eiríkr m
Egon m
Edward m

Edmond m
Edgar m  It is such a splendidly classic name. Not to mention, the first name of an outstanding writer: Edgar Allan Poe. 
Eddie m & f
Ebenezer m
Eachann m
Durante m  Presumably with the nickname of "Dante." 
Dubravko m
Draven m
Dov m  It would be a difficult nickname to successfully pull off... unless the boy is of a certain character, it would appear weak and effeminate.

Dimitri m  There is treasure in this name to be found! Lovely, but unusable unless certain details have been dealt with upon the dubbing of a child. 
Dimitar m
Didacus m
Devereux m
Denholm m
Deforrest m
Decebal m
Dean m
Davis m
David m
Daryl m
Dalibor m
Daisuke m
Cyril m  I despise the name... "cereal," anyone? But even I must admit that it would make a good character-- despite it gaining popularity in the writing-world. 
Cristoforo m  While there is nothing particularly wrong with "Christoper," "Cristoforo" tickles my taste-buds a bit more. 
Cristiano m
Costantino m
Conrad m
Connor m  Such a wonderful name-- but I doubt I'd ever use it. 
Clovis m
Christopher m  A timeless name. I am a bit more fond of "Cristoforo," though. 
Christian m
Cheyenne f
Charlie m  Adorable diminutive.

Charlemagne m  A pool of pretentiousness, it is. "Charlemagne" is still charming, though. 
Cephas m

Cassander m
Caspian m  Magnificent-- but best be left to C.S. Lewis. 
Carsten m

Barnaby m
Barnabas m
Aurelio m  Certainly a favorite. But with revolting regret, it (and variants) is a name that has been attracting a strange amount of attention.

Archibald m
Aramis m
Aragorn m  The Tolkien'ite within tells me to adore this name. 
Apostolos m  Gorgeous! Though unusable if you do not bear a Greek surname, sadly. 
Antonio m  Grandfather's namesake. 
Anselm m
Angelo m  What a classic, handsome name. A bit stereotypical, though.

Andor 1 m  Unfortunately I am not Norwegian-- this will be a wonderful character name. 
Amilcare m  Pronunciation: Ah- MEEL-Cah-Reyh

Aled m
Albus m  I would certainly consider this name for future usage. It is magnificent, completely. 
Albert m  Such old-world charm... and the middle name of old Blue Eyes himself: Francis Albert Sinatra.

Adriano m  The same as above for "Adrian." I feel that certain attributes are necessary for justice to be done to this name. 
Adrian m  "Adrian" is a name that a boy must grow into... he must be a man. There are only a handful of people who I believe could admirably pull it off. 
Absalom m  "Absalom" has grown to be one of my favorite names. It is unusual, strange, but very strong.
