Help[Opinions] Re: When naming your children or characters, what names do you tend to avoid?
in reply to a message by Francisinfp5w4
For the romance stories I wrote I preferred more melodic names because they sound more romantic they had latin roots which is also the mother of all the romantic languages so think names like Lorenzo, Vincent and for girls names like Elise, Catarina...
Now for children the rules are different:
1. I like names with no natural nicknames because I want to be able to choose what my child will be called instead of having nicknames
2. For boys I like strong and sharp sounding names with fewer vowels so for my son Grant was the ideal choice
3. Names that aren't popular but at the same time aren't unheard of hence why Grant felt so right being around #200 on the ranks
4. Classic, timeless feel because I have a hard time enjoying trendy/made up names that most likely only survive for a decade or so
5. For middle names I would be more adventurous and could use names that have nicknames just because nobody shortens middle names
