[Opinions] Monthly Interests - Feb.
We have a monthly top 10, what I want is a list of 3 to 10 names that have peaked your interest this month. :)

Replies

I know I already commented here, but I all of a sudden have an interest in Ursula/Ursella.
Ursella is a pretty spelling!
Georgette nn Georgie. I saw it in a book, and I’ve been obsessed ever since. Violet has also been on my mind.
I recently found myself to like shorter names
Gili
Mor
Stav
Liel
Ariadne
Alodia
Ardal
Nicander
Evridiki
Lulit - pearl in Amharic
Amna - mn - is not an ideal combination but it never fails to get my attention for some reason.
I had a friend named Amna! I always liked her name a lot. It's soft and earthy. I came across Lulit a while back and was intrigued by it's meaning as well, but I love plain old Pearl so much that the interest waned. Was also playing with Nicander lately. I like Nicodemos and good, solid, Nicholas / Nicolas too.

Nicolas, Nicolai has been on my top 10 for about a year or more! I like Nicodemos (Nicodème) too & also Nicanor.
Yes, Nicanor! I just looked at Nicodème and it really is handsome. :)
I've always liked Polina (and Paulina!). It's so pretty and swan-like.Oriana is so grandiose and lovely. Gwendolyn's also a love of mine (though not sure if I prefer Gwendolyn or Gwendoline). I also like similar names Gwyneth, Guinevere, Gwen, and Gwynn.
Martha entered my top 10 because I can't stop thinking about it. I love that it's starchy but also dainty. I wonder if it will return to its early heights of popularity...I've also been thinking about Cynthia. Cynthia! An ancient poetic name that became an overused staple here in the U.S.—fascinating! I think it's silken.Others on my mind are Hypatia, Mayuri, Hero (f), and Howard (because of Howard Hawks).
I do think Martha's catching wind lately. Personally, I still find it matronly and frumpy at this point in time! It also reminds me of the "marthas'" from The Handmaid's Tale. Cynthia is pretty! I do think of Angelica's doll though, from Rugrats lol. Gwyneth kins of gives me the same vibe as Cynthia for whatever reason though and I've been digging that again lately. It was a favorite when I was like 11, oddly enough.
Ia
Sherida
Ennigaldi / Ennigaldi-Nanna
Bryce / Bryke (not the surname, the ancient Greek name)
I really like Ia and am fascinated by Ennigaldi!
Sylvain is fun! It looks serious but sounds light.Is Lluviana welsh?Ambrose and Maximilian are handsome too.
No, Lluvianna is a contraction of the Spanish word lluvia (meaning "rain") and Anna, used in Hispanic American. It's pronounced joo-vee-AN-na or joo-BYA-na following the Spanish pronunciation.
Bernadetta is so cool. And I love Romaine!
Killian
Desmond
AlexanderMaisy
Alice
Joan
Lacey

I love Margaret. :)Rosabel and Oriana are darling.
I've been thinking of Austin too a bit!I always begin liking Lacey (and Stacey!) in theory, but then loathing it again whenever I come across it on an adult.
Thank you. Austin is my favorite boy's name these days. And actually, I like Stacy(I prefer this spelling) too.

Austin is handsome!I know some kids named Stacy / Stacey and think it's really sweet on them. But I also have a supervisor Stacy, a woman in her 50's and it just seems so saccharine and off-putting to me. I do like Anastasia, and I think Stasya is fun.
Thank you.
