Realistic name choices...

Long time no..see?

So at work I have to ask people their names for their orders. 50 Saras, 30 Michelles, 60 Christinas or Chrissys or Christies. (those numbers are totally inaccurate but thats how it seems). Chris is probably the most popular guys name as well. Chris, Steve/Stephen or Jeff.

Then I met an Edward. I hadn't gotten an Edward! It got me thinking about names I actually like on people. I actually really like Edward on people. I really like Arthur too. I met a boy, he was maybe 10 named Kellan.

I guess it was just a funny realization. On people I probably wouldn't use Fox or Clover. But I would use Edward.

Any comments or name suggestions. how many of your "names list" names would you actually use? Like REALLY. ACTUALLY. USE!

i really like edward, arthur, and kellan -- they're all nice names and none of them are too common, or too out there.

i have three lists -- names i would definitely use, maybes, and guilty pleasures.

margaret/meg
anne/annie
eleanor/ellie
norah
catherine/cate
eliza
miles
colin
evan
samuel/sam
elijah/eli
caleb
charles/charlie

these are the ones i would definitely use, unless my partner had a huge problem with them. there are others that i would love to add to this list, like ruby, lily, harriet, thatcher, asa, silas, and forrest, but the truth is, i'm not so sure i'd use them, even though i LOVE them.
