I remember writing names down that I loved at that age! Ha-ha, I've always been a name geek
For a GIRL I thought Riley Danielle was cool
- I would no longer use Danielle, and hubby didn't like Riley when we first talked about names before getting married.
For a BOY I loved the names Jacob "Jake" and Sage (due to Redskin's QB Sage Rosenthal at the time)
- I probably wouldn't use either of these anymore. I don't hate them, but I have stronger preferences for other names now. (plus, they don't really go with our last name)
Deanna Lynn. I loved that name so much, and was totally creeped out when a family friend adopted a little girl from China and used it (they didn't know my love for it).
Mom to J (10), L (4), and baby #3 arriving in July of 2015
I remember liking place names like India, ireland, Montana, Dakota, Indiana. Safe to say I've changed my mind a bit!
I went to boarding school with a girl named Germany. Her dad was a German diplomat. When I left boarding school, I went to another school with a girl named Ireland and one named Asia.
Still love these names, but DH is the 2nd youngest of 5 and they were already taken when I met him. Also, my style now leans toward the more uncommon names.
This was my name list and ideal birth order in HS:
DS1: Adam Benjamin Caleb (the first 3 names from my favorite movie 7 Brides for 7 Brothers)
DD: Alison Victoria Anne (a variant on my BFF's name, my favorite time period, my favorite literary character)
DS2: Aaron Cary 'Father fill in name here" (My favorite uncle, part of my maiden name, and a generous gift to let my future H pick the 2nd MN of the third child.)
For the longest time I was in love with the American girl names. Felicity was still one of my top names for a girl, but DH didn't like it. Both of my kids have names that I loved from that age, DD's I heard in a movie I think, and DS has a family name.
I did go through one phase when I liked a boy whose name started with a C, and my first name starts with a C. I thought it would be the best thing ever if we got married and all of our kids had names that started with a C too.
That's an easy one seeing as how I still have it written down!
Boy: Darrian Elijah, Micha Benjamin and Josiah Timothy
Girl: Gabriel and yes I know it's a boy's name but I liked it for a girl! Ruthie and Abigail
Darrian is still at the top of my list as it is the name of a dear friend who was killed in an accident when I was 10 and he was 8. My DH doesn't like it though so I can't use it and it breaks my heart as I promised Darrian at his grave that I would.
Re: What would your 14 Y O self....
I was really into Julia, Jocelyn and Roslyn. For boy I liked Jacob and Ethan.
I still love all those names.

Girl : Summer
Deanna Lynn. I loved that name so much, and was totally creeped out when a family friend adopted a little girl from China and used it (they didn't know my love for it).
For girls I liked Autumn and girl names that could be shorted to a boy nickname - Jo (Josephine) and Sam (Samantha)
I don't remember any of the boy names.
For a girl, Sophia, Rosalind, or Sabine.
Never really thought about a boy! Later, Pietr was considered. Pronounced Peter. But with that spelling.
Recently went to my college reunion...my friends confessed much relief that I did not name my son Pietr.
I went to boarding school with a girl named Germany. Her dad was a German diplomat. When I left boarding school, I went to another school with a girl named Ireland and one named Asia.
I loved Kayleigh and Eve. I still like Eve.
I never imagined Id have a boy.
Girl: Sandy or Roxanne
Boy: Bryce
Wow.
Girl: Emma
Still love these names, but DH is the 2nd youngest of 5 and they were already taken when I met him. Also, my style now leans toward the more uncommon names.
I knew since I was a teenager that I wanted to name a boy after my Dad- Duncan.
Girl: Brittany, Kimber, and Cassandra are 3 I can remember. The first 2 were after cartoon characters.
I would not use any of these girl names now.
A girl would have been Gemma.
Boy would have been Jakob or Lukas or some other "normal" name with a K in the middle.
Ya - I'm glad I've moved on from that.
Girl: Clairissa...spelled this more than awful way because I wanted it pronounced ClaireRissa not ClaRissa :S
I like to think my tastes are more refined now ;
Yup, I'm only 19 now but that was pretty much my plan with a different name choice. :P

I can't remember if I had names when I was 14-- but I know when I was about 16 I had these, mostly I always wanted a girl...
Boys

Girls
Chantel
Azalea

Madison
Names I considered as a 27 year old?
Charlotte, Caroline, Amelia and Emmerson for a girl
Jackson for a boy
Amy or Audrey.
When I was 18 or so I was very much into Amelia and Tristan.
I still like those names, although they've become much more popular.
