Help[Opinions] Strongest and weakest aspects of your name knowledge
There are lots of different things about names that interest me (and I’m sure most of the people here) such as: popularity, trends, combos, what influences popularity, themes, names over time, naming conventions around the world, pronunciation, meanings and many more. Lately I’ve been trying to identify which of these categories I enjoy the most, as well as the ones I’m strongest and weakest in.
So, what parts of naming and names do you find the most enjoyable and/or interesting? Which parts do you think you’re most knowledgeable about?
For me, I think I’m most interested in naming conventions around the world. This includes particular sounds that show up in names more frequently, as well as finding out about the typical way the full name is written (e.g first name, middle name, surname in Anglophone countries). I’ve gotten quite good at guessing where names I’ve never heard before are from based on the sound / spelling. I also find popularity and what influences it very interesting.
I think the category I’m most knowledgeable in is probably trends or popularity, or maybe naming conventions from around the world. I think the category I’m worst at is combos.
Sorry if this post didn’t make much sense, I’m just writing whatever comes to mind, haha
:)
Edit: list of example categories:
popularity
trends
combos
what influences popularity
themes
names over time
naming conventions around the world
pronunciation
meanings
name styles
sibsets
Any more you can think of!
