Re: WDYT about the nameberry tops tens?
Imogen- I like Imogen. I think it's still unexpected in the real world, and I like that she can be an Immy or a Ginny.
Charlotte- I used to like it a lot more than I do now. It just kind of falls flat for me, but I wouldn't mind meeting one.
Isla- When I first joined BtN I loved Isla. Now I think it's dull and over-discussed.
Cora- I like longer forms better, like Cordelia nicknamed Cora, but Cora on its own is nice too. It has a homey, old-fashioned feeling to me.
Penelope- I like it. It's quirky and fun.
Violet- Well, obviously I like it, as it's my username. It used to be a top three name for me, now not so much. I'd still consider using it for my own daughter, though. I feel like it has substance, which some of the floral names lack.
Amelia- I still like Amelia and its bookish feeling. It's a humble name.
Eleanor- I like this one as well. I had a big Eleanor phase about six months ago, but it's passed. I still think it's lovely, though.
Harper- I think most here at BtN will agree that this is a big "nope!"
Claire- I used to really like it, but I have met so many little Claires and Claras lately (I work at a day care) that I feel like it's up and coming- destined for over-use.Asher- I kind of like it, but it does seem a tad trendy.
Declan- One of my college professors used this just as the name became more popular, and became one of those "I swear it wasn't popular when I chose it but now it's everywhere" people. Anyway, the name itself is nice, I just think it's getting too popular.
Atticus- I'm not one for naming children after specific characters because that association will always be there. I can't separate this name from Atticus Finch.
Finn- I like elaborations like Finnegan or Finnian better, with Finn as a nickname. Just Finn seems like it's missing something.
Oliver- This is actually my number one for a boy right now. I adore it. It's so cute and kind of nerdy.
Henry- This one rose fast for me. I used to dislike it, but now I really appreciate it and would consider it for my own son.
Silas- Used to like it more. Now I think it's okay, but I wouldn't use it myself.
Jasper- I like it. It has always reminded me of an old Southern gentleman.
Milo- I want to like it, but it doesn't quite get there. I think it sounds too juvenile for me.
Jude- I like it but wouldn't use it myself.
