[Opinions] Re: Top Ten for February
in reply to a message by Rachel Shaina
No specific order, just what I'm liking at this given moment:
Carmen
Saskia
Briseis / Daphne
Meredith
Philomene
Astrid / Amedea
Leocadia
Perdita / Desdemona
Gwendoline
Rosalind / Rosamund
Also: Apollonia, Azalea, Metrodora, Sophronia, Temperance, Zenobia and Victoire. I still love Iris and Ivy, but they're a little simple (or, I dunno...) compared to my current tastes and they're falling out of my top names quite rapidly.
Oscar
Balthazar
Ignatius
Leonard / Leopold
Bartholomew
Jasper / Casper and its ilk
Ludwig / Wolfgang
Roland
Gideon
Zoticus
Also: Sigmund, Reuben, Ptolemy, Nikola, Malachi, Archibald, Edmund and Cornelius.
I know, I know... too many names! But for every name I love, there's three others I think "but I like that just as much!", hence my long list of 'honourable mentions'.
There are names I still really like: Iris, Ivy, Florence, Beatrice, Isabelle, Samuel, Theodore... etc... which were once top-ten contenders and are now plummeting out of my top twenty, top thirty. I don't know why. Maybe they're a bit safe and trendy?
