I made a list...

[krosp.livejournal.com]

I've been interested in names for at least 10 years, and over the years I've made lots of little lists. I recently dug them up and put them all together to make the ultimate list of "every name I've ever liked". I'm sure there are others that never made the lists though.

So I thought I'd put them up for opinions. In particular, I'm going to bold my current favourites and cross out the ones I no longer like. Some are probably more like guilty pleasures - so I'll only bold ones I'd actually consider using. Would appreciate any comments, but especially on my bold ones :)
