Does anyone else like to keep a list of names they like?
I don't devote much time to it or anything, but when I hear a name I like, I put in down in a draft I have. Sometimes I'll hear a name I love and file it away in my mind but forget about it later, so I like to record them for future reference. It's not just for possible names for my children either, when I got a dog I used it and also if I want to write something and need character names.
I figure that in 10 years or whenever I am starting to have kids, I will probably have different names, but some have stayed on there for a while.
Some of my favorites:
for girls:
Charlotte
Delia
Eleanor
Elsie
Ida - love this name this name, I named my favorite stuffed animal when I was younger Ida and still love it
Ragnild (ruh-kneeled)
Roslyn
for boys:
Alistair - I think this is common in other countries, but I've never heard it here
Gregor/Greg
Henry
Lloyd - I don't think I would ever name my kid this, but I still like it
Monroe
Oliver
I really like old fashioned names that aren't as common, so beautiful.
