Re: "fresh" vs. familiar

Okay.
August - 0 irl, 1 character
Micah - 1 irl, 1 character
Leo- 2 irl
Riley- about 5 irl (boys), 1 charcter springs to mind
Archer- 1 irl
Lilia- 0 irl
Willow- 0 irl but I know of a few
Aurora- 2 irl, 1 charcter
Sasha- 1 irl
River- 1 irl, 2 characters
So mostly names that I've either never met anyone with or very few people with. I think a name can lose its charm if you meet someone/ too many people with it, but sometimes it can bring it to life. For instance, I loved meeting a female River, but actually quite liked the name Zoe until I met so many. Zoe is one name where the 'personality' of it has changed for me.
