A whole lotta names

[qtshorty1625.livejournal.com]

Stemming from this post, Duggar-style (10 boys, 9 girls) for every letter. And, like depeche810 did in her post, I'm just putting the first names to come to mind (or poking around if my mind blanks), and starring the ones I like.

Edited to add: The names I didn't star doesn't mean I dislike the names; it's more of a neutrality, or a fondness due to association. I tried to avoid names that I find to be cringe worthy.

You accidentally put your "B" inside a bold tag (or forgot your B</b> at the end)

::facepalm:: Thanks! That's what I get for attempting to do this starting at 10:00pm after I worked all day. It should be fixed now. :)

OMG, I love how you snuck Sodapop in there. Lol!

Hang on, I'll go try it with my own names.

[penguiny7.livejournal.com]

Oh wait, nevermind the asterisks part. I totally didn't read that last sentence for some reason because I also thought this was all with names you liked. I still want to do this, but only with names I like. :P Maybe I'll make a seperate post because it will be epic.

[penguiny7.livejournal.com]

And also maybe I'll spell separate correctly.

[qtshorty1625.livejournal.com]

My name and my sister's made your list ;). (and my middle name). LOL.

I'd say about 99% (a complete estimate, of course) of the names on the list I do like to some extent; I tried to stay away from posting any name I truly cringe at. There are a bunch that I associate with celebrities (e.g. Garth for Garth Brooks, Guy for Guy Hebert/Lafleur/[insert all other French hockey players here], etc. and because I like the people associated with the name, I like the name). I more was asteriking the ones that I like well enough to possibly consider using. So, I like French names, for example, on other people (especially when they are French), but in so many ways for me, it's like, "Oh yeah, that's so-and-so's name", and not so much about the name itself because I can't get my brain to disassociate it long enough to actually form an opinion on the name.

And wow, I'm rambling. Sorry!

Haha, I do think your post would be epic.

Don't worry, I still have a hard time with "separate"; I know how to spell it right, but I'll misspell it without thinking.

haha, yeah, I couldn't resist getting Soda's name in there. It's been one of my favorite books for. . .10 years now.

[qtshorty1625.livejournal.com]

I thought of only doing names I liked, but I also wanted to hit the 10/9 limits. Even by using babynames, I couldn't hit all of the limits because the names were looking. . .for lack of a better/nicer word, weird to me, and I wanted to avoid filler names.
