Aunica Vesper Evolet is intriguing, but I would have preferred Annika Vesper Evelyn…
I’m happy to see Farrah!! I always loved her and thought she was way under-appreciated by most… Lucia is also nice, but I’m worried she’s going to climb a LOT higher on the list in the coming couple of years..
Marlene and Wilhelmina are also delightful! Full of old school charm!
My favourites for boys happen to come right after another on the list!
Cordell Adrian, Crawford Fox and Emmanuel Reese are all lovely, although I would prefer Hadrian and Rhys over Adrian and Reese…
Nutmeg has to be the best pet name I’ve seen in a long time! Love it!
Trouble, Rooster and Webster are also lovely. I think pets should get proper names rather than Fluffy or Sweetie, but I also think they should get names you wouldn’t give your own child, so Augustus and Olive saddens me… Nutmeg and Webster are perfect because they have meaning and history but you would get some weird looks if you used it for a child! Perfect for the household pet!
This is really interesting, I love seeing Wilhelmina.
Dearest- I love your view of names- so thoughtful! I think you’re dead-on about Lucia- that’s very likely to climb the charts in the coming years.
I thought the pet names were adorable, too. I had to include them! Such good ideas for people who are looking for a little inspiration.
I thought the names were interesting, too (obviously, otherwise I wouldn’t have posted them!). It’s great to see the variety of names out there– classic, offbeat, popular– so fun to see what names people are choosing!
