what do you like?

I know most people on here have different styles and I read a lot of posts where all the names in question are not liked. So I am asking what do you like? We are all over the place with names and I am just looking for new ideas and I am curious on what people like. Thanks!

I tend to like simple, classic names.  And I'm not a fan of unisex.  DH is similar to me, but a little more open to other styles.  Feel free to vote on our name list in my siggy and maybe get some suggestions

I think this happens to me sometimes too!  I think for girls, I like names that sound pretty and feminine, so I'm more likely to stray from my "style" for an appealing sound.

For girls I typically like very feminine names (Lucinda, Estella, Miranda), but there are a few "unisex" names that I love too (Finley, Quinn, Sydney). I also love flower and color names: Ruby, Iris, Violet, Ivy, Daisy, Magnolia, and Marigold.

For boys I like strong, masculine names whether they be old man sounding (Gus, Felix, Hank), Biblical (Gabriel/Gabe, Jude, Ezra), or typically a surname (Maddox, Salinger, Beckett). I also love Irish/Scottish/Welsh names: Donovan, Finnegan (Finn), Magnus, Griffith, and Angus.

I feel like my style is all over the place! For girls, I love uber feminine names, but they range from the super popular Sophia to the super uncommon Felicity. For boys, I think I am a little conservative. I like masculine names that everyone has heard of, but they range in styles- some more trendy (Landon), some super classic (Charles), some popular (Evan), some a little under the radar (Nathaniel).

If you want some ideas from my list, here are some of my very favorites:

Girls: Clara, Audrey, Adrianne, Juliet/Julia, Bridget, Sophia, Madeline, Claire, Anna, Elena, Lilah, Emily, Scarlett, Victoria, Eloise, Adele

Boys: Nathaniel, Evan, Eric, Nicholas, Oliver, William, Seth, Henry, Elliott, Reid, Alexander, Sebastian
