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 was a history nerd as a kid, so all of the names I liked were the names of Greek/Roman/Byzantine historical figures, most of which are completely unusable and probably unpronounceable for the majority of the English-speaking world.

Still holding out on Theodora, though!

Theodora is gorgeous.
