Help[Opinions] Re: PNL stories

1. How many names are on your PNL?
2877. I have the maximum number of lists (15). There's dozens if not hundreds of duplicates, though. They're unorganized and unwieldy, so I don't really look at them anymore. There's 2 massive "main" (& "main extended") lists which are basically the default one (collectively they have 700) and a long one of user submitted names. I used them to keep track of my top tens per year for a while, so that's another few of them. The shortest one has 61 names and is titled "OOO sound names"...
2. Are there more girl or boy names?
Idk, probably girl names.
3. What’s the longest your list has ever been?
Now, I guess.
4. What are some names you’re surprised are on your list?
For this, I looked at a couple lists (creatively called "on my mind" and "now") and saw a few I don't immediately recognize: Eutychia, Charalampos, Animikii.
5. What are some names that used to be on your PNL that you’re embarrassed to think about?
If there were any, they're still there... Nicodeme, and I'm gonna assume Philadelphia is on one, so that's a couple at least. I remember thinking Cameo would be a cool name when I was a teenager, but that was before my BtN days.
6. What are your longest standing names?
Idk (do you mean which have been on the list longest? no idea). There's all sorts of names I heard when I was a kid? I've always liked a lot of biblical names (it's part of why I was interested in names as a kid), so, things like Miriam and Joseph (and Methuselah, Meshach, Vashti, Syntyche, etc)? The ones that reoccured the most in my oldest top 10 lists (at least from what I see on my top 10s PNLs) were Amadeo, Emeric, and Gwendolen, followed by Octavia, Veronica, Solomon, Gabriel, Damien, and Isidore; they're OK, but I don't like them as much as I did 7-8 years ago. My favorites from that list right now are Nimue, Jane, Maurice, and Timaeus.
