Name Game/ Survey

[sweatydog.livejournal.com]

I've noticed that sometimes when commenting on names some users will say things like "Too trendy" "Too dated" "Too old fashioned". Which to everyone means something different. So I was wondering what these name labels mean to YOU.


Give two names for each label one boy and one girl.

Filler names:

B:
G: - I don't really think there is such a thing. A common name does not equal a filler name. They are just names that sound nice with basically anything, and I see nothing wrong with that.

Best names you've ever heard whether you'd use them or not?

B: Names I've mentioned...Michael, Oliver, Cameron, Connor, George - I will probably use a few of them, unless my tastes change. Cameron is a family name though, so it's almost 100% likely I would use it, Finley.
G: Heidi, Annie, Claire [yeah I admit it, I love my own name!] Olivia [popular yes but still], Catherine, Margaret, Amelia.

Worst names you've ever heard?
