Bee to the blossom, moth to the flame;
Each to [their] passion; what’s in a name?

Lifelong lover of names, with a goal of appreciating more of them and ridding myself of knee-jerk generational/cultural distaste. I like finding reasons to like names! It helps me like people — and life.
I love name elements, statistics, history, and speculation on demographic usage.
A great proponent of parents giving names with personal meaning over what is currently popular — but then, I love many popular names too. :)
Currently I particularly love Ancient Germanic, Spanish, Greek, and Tibetan names. I also get excited to see obscure French and Irish names and adore Marian names.
