I took the blog quiz a couple of posts ago, but I think that we can create a better one together! I'm going to do it using the quibblo personality test maker thing. So, I think we should start out by getting suggestions. Also, if you have any better categories, please suggest those too. And tell me if you think a category is bad, I'm not sure about half of these.

So. Boys/Girls suggestions please, for

Classic names
Trendy names
Ecclectic names
Eccentric names
Straightforward names (the opposite of flowery, I mean. Blunt and to the point)
Fancy/Embellished/Flowery names
Names popular around the world
80's names
50's names
Up and coming names
Urban names
Suburban names
Rural names

How about 'natural' names? Like Luna, Lily and Jasmine?
Or color names?

What exactly do you mean by ecclectic names? I mean, I know what ecclectic means, I just don't understand what it means in the names-context ;)
I don't understand the straightforward either...would that be names like Anne, William & Elizabeth? Because I'd consider those classic.
Also...maybe instead of 50's, how about 'old fashioned'?

I'm all for creating our own name quiz by the way, the other categories seem good to me! =D

I agree with you on the old fashioned names.

Also, I would think of straightforward like Joe, Bob, Jane, etc. Short and to the point?

Maybe the distinction could be between popular (as in current top 10) and trendy (following trends like -ayden etc) ??
