[Opinions] Passions
Here are character names from "Passions", another soap, and probably the craziest one. Typical plotlines for "Passions" involved witchcraft, dolls coming to life, Princess Diana acting as a guardian angel, and magical trees warning people about tsunamis.ANYWAY, onto the names...
Theresa
Ethan
Timmy
Sheridan (f)
Gwen
Alistair
Pilar
Fox
Kay
Fancy
Julian
Jessica
Ivy
Reese
Pretty
Simone
Hank
Endora
Jared
Whitney
Spike
Esme
Edna
Charity
Rae
Irma
Paloma
Norma **After supposedly dying on January 30, 2007 after eating tainted pancakes, she returned several times as an angel and was revealed to be alive on May 17, 2011. )**

I remember that was Spike's (from Buffy the VS) favorite show. I didn't know the plotlines, but that seems appropriate considering his girlfriend talked to dolls.And there's a character named Spike?! Ok, one of the Buffy writers must have loved Passions or vice versa; this can't be a coincidence.I'd love to meet a couple named Fox and Fancy.Gwen, Theresa, Julian, Jessica, Ivy, Esme, Whitney, Simone, Rae all seem normal/likeable.I also like Charity, Paloma, Irma, Edna, Norma, Pilar, though they stick out as slightly more distinctive to me than the other group.Pretty's weird, not in a way I like.

Awww yiss, this show was so wild. I was 15 or 16 when it first aired and I loved it. My god, that Princess Di plotline, lmao, how could I ever forget that?! So tasteless.Passions made me love the name Charity, and I thought "Pilar" was the most devastatingly elegant thing ever thanks to this show. I also remember liking Grace, once upon a time (and wanting to try Tomato Soup Cake) because of Passions. This soap had a great "haunted New England" thing going on that I was VERY into. Now that I really think about it, this show was probably a pretty big influence on shifting my name taste, which pre-Passions was more "kreatyve word" stuff. Passions turned me onto more classic names.Other names I loved because of this show:Ivy
Alistair
Julian
Esme
Gwen
Sheridan
Simone
(I still like all of these names, too)Looking at this list now, I also like:Paloma
Irma
Edna!
Endora
Norma

Huh. I just watched a YouTube video about making Tomato Soup Cake. Weird that someone mentioned it elsewhere, lol.

Passions was completely, utterly, 100% bonkers. But they had some very interesting names!This show was actually the first place where I saw / heard Sheridan & Alistair as names. I still really enjoy both (with Sheridan as a feminine name - I actually can't imagine it on a man).Others I like:Theresa
Gwen
Pilar
Jessica
Ivy
Simone
Endora (be honest, this is pretty awesome)
Whitney
Esme (though I prefer Esmée)
&
Fox
Julian
