[Opinions] Re: Utopia
in reply to a message by Darkest
I would knock all my favorites out of the Top 20, and replace them with similar names that are nice to hear, but won't overlap with my favorites - that way they'll still be special! ;) Plus, I'll replace all the really terrible names with suitable alternatives.
1. Emily
2. Isabel (changed from Isabella)
3. Emma
4. Ava
5. Madeleine (changed from Madison)
6. Sophia
7. Lydia (changed from Olivia)
8. Hannah (changed from Abigail)
9. Annabel (changed from Hannah)
10. Elisabeth (changed from Elizabeth - I love it, but wouldn't use it, so it's staying)
11. Addison (again - I like it, but wouldn't use it)
12. Samantha
13. Ashley (see Addison)
14. Alyssa
15. Amelia (changed from Mia)
16. Carmen (changed from Chloe)
17. Nanette (changed from Natalie)
18. Sarai (changed from Sarah)
19. Alexandrine (changed from Alexis)
20. Gracia (changed from Grace)
1. Jonas (changed from Jacob)
2. Michael
3. Ethan
4. Jerome (changed from Joshua)
5. Daniel
6. Christopher
7. Andre (changed from Anthony)
8. Wyatt (changed from William)
9. Matthew
10. Andrew
11. Lysander (changed from Alexander)
12. David
13. Jonathan (changed from Joseph)
14. Nolan (changed from Noah)
15. James (I love it, but I'll keep it in the Top 20 because I would use it as MN only)
16. Ryan
17. Lachlan (changed from Logan)
18. Hayden (changed from Jayden)
19. Jude (changed from John)
20. Nicolas (changed from Nicholas)
I managed to salvage my favorites from the Top 20. ;) Even though I prefer Emilia to Emily,
I kept it as Emily because I could see myself using Emilia and would hate to have it be so popular. (There are other similar names I've done this with.)
