Help[Opinions] Re: American word names of 2020, part 1 (long)
in reply to a message by Manipura
I noticed (in addition to the violent, competitive/power, happy/blessed, and obviously religious ones) a truth/steady/justice theme and an idyllic/everlasting theme. Sincere, Sincerity, Trust, Truth, True, Truce, Verity, Justice, Honesty, Honest, Honor, Real, Reality, Loyal, Loyalty, Constance, Constant, Patience, Peace, Pace, Temperance, Reason, Theory, Knowledge, Wisdom, Clarity, Promise; Forever, Eternity, Paradise, Halcyon, Elysian, Heaven, Eden, Zion, Everly, Epic, Legend, Legendary, Legacy, Celestial, Divine, Saga, Fable.
Also Free, Freedom, Liberty, Wander, Wonder, Marvel, Indie, Sojourner, Quest, Journey, Chance, Chase, Rebel, Maverick, Maven, Hero, Knight, Spirit, Story, Novel, Novella, Mystic, Scout, Lucky, Blaze, Dash, Ace, Trace, Essence, Brave, Bravery, Courage, Valor, Walker, Ranger, Rogue have vaguely similar vibes to me.
My favorites are Prosper, Epiphany, Knowledge, Temperance, Valentine, Hope. 2nd tier: Clarity, Sojourner, Truce, Symphony, Jubilee, Harmony, Eden, Bode, Vesper, Sovereign, Wonder, Sonder, Sincerity, Joy, Courage, Bright, Bridge, Paradise, Honor, Justice, Prudence, Remedy, Lucky, Kindred, Providence, Patience, Promise, Sterling, Meridian, Treasure, Dream, Mercy, Clement, Phoenix, June.
I like a lot of them in an 'I would like to meet someone named that' kind of way. I've met Charity, Patience, Temperance, Constance, Sterling, April, Joy, Brandy, Sherry, Chip, Thane, Pixie, Candy, Honor, Cashmere, Walker, Grant, Trinity, Rusty, Dusty, Sojourn, Worth, Trip, Carol.
I wouldn't have guessed Kit, Rowdy, Symphony, Denim, Legacy, Chosen, Knowledge, Sincere, Halo, Decker, Baker are as popular as they are. I was also surprised Innocent was used at all.
These stand out as unlikable to me:
Money, Gentry, Free, Rich, Favor
Church, Amen, Righteous
Monday, Wednesday
Shy, Coy, Charming, Innocent, Chosen, Precious
Sparkle, Velvet, Siren, Allure, Lacy
Legacy, Legend, Legendary, Epic, Titan, Champ
Tucker, Randy
Alpha, Omega
Echo, Gypsy, Affinity
Prince, Princess, Duke, Duchess, Dutch
Emperor, Boss, Master, Diva, Dock, Sire
Copper, Ward, Dodger
Reign, Royalty, Royale
Bishop, Priest
Gunner, Striker, Boomer, Buster, Decker, Trigger, Ender
Cannon, Arrow, Brick, Axe, Pike, Beretta
Blade, Dirk, Dagger
Rage, Haze, Daze, Edge, Pierce, Race, Rip, Bash
Power, Danger, Rowdy, Riot, Revel, Wild, Wilder
Crew, Cruise, Cross
Cane, Case, Tray, Satchel, Cage, Acre
Parker, Rider, Trip, Hopper, Solo, Race, Diesel
Zion, Eureka, Marvel
