in reply to a message by peregrine
Are you sure this is the one from when you were 11? Cuz some of these are pretty unusual for an 11 year old to be aware of. When I was 11 the only names in my first lists were names I came in contact with IRL or on TV/ in the movies. Still a relatively small pool.Please rate my "Names I would Use" list & "Backup Favorites" list. Feel free to rate some of my other lists too if you have the time.

I joined this website when I was 9 and was quickly obsessed with browsing names, so anything's possible. I don't actually remember my first PNL, though. I wish I did.

Right. Well and you are younger. I'm in my late 20s I didn't have much internet access besides at school until I was maybe 15/16. But if Peregrine were any older than like 21 it just seems sus to me 😆 especially because most of the exact same names repeat on their current lists on their profile. I don't think most 11 year olds even interested in names would like some of those choices though.

Are you kidding? Once I got ahold of a decent baby name book, I was circling things like Rukmini and Tullia. Those books had some fantastical stuff in them, and that was in the 90s! I can't even imagine how wild my first name lists would have been if I was born after the year 2000.

Just look at their PNL, the exact same names repeat. But they said it was an "old notebook"?

They could have added them recently after rediscovering this list? That's what I would assume anyway.

Well you're more generous than me. I just don't like false pretense

Okay let me clarify then: I do think it is possible, but I do think they are fibbing.

I’m pretty sure I would’ve been eleven based on some of the other things in the notebook, yes. I’d probably just found this website at the time so was beginning to broaden my taste, but a lot of these are names of people I knew at the time too. I don’t want to say my age but I am under 18, so yes my favourites generally haven’t changed drastically in a matter of years, though that being said I counted and only 15 of the 148 names written here (+ maybe 4 that were spelled differently) are the same as ones on my PNL, so it’s not true that ‘most of the exact same names repeat on my current lists on my profile’.
I’m sorry you think I’m fibbing, I’m not sure if there’s anything I can do to disprove that. It was a few years ago, I had access to this website (probably the main contributor), I read a lot and I loved names- so I understand that maybe the list would’ve been beyond most eleven year olds, but it is genuinely just what I found. Even I was surprised by a few of the names on it!

Sorry honey, I still don't believe you 😅😆 even if you had internet access, these don't feel like an 11 year old's taste in names, and too many of the names repeat for me to find this believable. As well as a few other things not adding up. Happy naming though.
