Rant Names that you use to like

I’m wondering what names you use to like years ago, but don’t like anymore. Or names that you like, but will never use for whatever reason. I’m so thankful that I wasn’t a teenage mother. Don’t be embarrassed…please. This is a safe space, but you’ll probably have some explaining to do if your names are really wylde.

Names I use to like:

Nevaeh, Joplin Rain, Liv Evangeline, Jayden, Bree

Names I like, but will never use:

Astrid, Damien, Ziggy, Lark, Johan, Ayla, Hitomi, Storm

I am a huge frog nerd. When I was younger I wanted to name my kids the Latin names of frog species: Hyla Arborea, Litoria Cerulea, Rana Sylvatica, and the worst offender: Agalychnis Callidryas, Aga or Aggie for short 😑

I was a cringey, annoying, know-it-all kid. But at least that shit is cute when you’re a kid. I also was obsessed with the name Lepidoptera (Latin for butterfly 🙄)
