Out of curiousity, what is your style when it comes to names? for eg. classic names, popular trendy names, etc

Also what are your guilty pleasure names, that you ♥LOVE♥ but would never name a child? Mine are Luna, Misty, Cordelia, River, Hadrian, Lyrica, and Callia.

Now I keep seeing posts about if you had sextuplets tomorrow what would you name them? now I am going to make it a bit more fun, pick your favourite letter for names and only use that for the names and also you can't hav? if your confused here's an eg. suppose you like 'A' names just pick all 'A' names for them and also it has to be different for each gender you love all 'a' names for girls and 'b' names for boys you'd just do that. Sorry, I can be confusing when it comes to questions.

Sextuplets names:

Leila Rose
Lily Jade
Leah Grace

Shayden Christopher
Simon James
Spencer Daniel

I love January and July (both for girls) but probably wouldn't use them for children. Other than that, I'd use anything on my list given the right situation and agreeance with my mate, etc.

Two of my favorite letters for names are J and K... Though I do enjoy L's. :)

Juliet Lenore
Joanna Lynette
Jacey Lorraine

Kale Christopher
Kane Matthew
Kevin Michael

Boys:
Adrian Daniel (currently in my belly, ha)
Avery Lucas
Asher Lawrence

Girls:
Scarlet Jean
Sophia Claire


These are the names I actually plan on using for my real kids, much to the dismay of people who hate parents naming a bunch of kids with the same letters, I'm sure. I didn't actually mean for them to all end up starting the same way, they're just the names I like.

Interestingly, I like a lot of names with the same letter for boys but not girls...

for example,
Joseph, Jeremy, Jarod, James, Joel, John, Jonathan......

but-
Anna, Laura, Kate, Miranda, Natalie, Rebecca...

Although this doesn't answer your question :p

Amelia Juliet
Anabelle Quinn
Aurora Soleil

Lucas Elijah
Leo Sebastian
Louis Alexander (loo-ee)

I'd say I was classic untrendy names. I do like Sophia, Grace, Isabelle, Olivia, Caitlin etc but they're classic popular now. I'd use names in that style that havent peaked yet (and hopefuly wouldnt) some might say Amelia is in that classic popular, annoying.

Guilty pleasure names...
Ophelia (hehe i might use this, id have a hard time persuading daddy though)
Winter

Holden
Caden
Sirius
Syrus
Kairan

My favorite boys' names tend to be very traditional names, and I have a soft spot for Hebrew boys' names (ex: Jake, Sam, Ben, Elijah, Asher, etc.), who knows why, haha. And I've lately been very into the boys' names with one syllbale nicknames (ex: Jake, Sam, Luke, Ben, etc.) For middle names, I go with family names or names that mean something to me (ex: Michael after my brother; Atticus from TKAM, etc.)

For girls ... I don't know that I really have a style. I like traditional sounding names, I guess - definitely not "trendy", although a lot of mine are popular and in the top 100, 20, or even 10 (My absolute favorite happens to match everyone else in the US, apparently: Emily). And for middle names, I want names of strong females. I want my girls to grow up to be strong, independent, successful people, so I want to name them accordingly (ex: Eleanor after Eleanor Roosevelt; Margaret after my grandmother; Grace after my great-great-aunt who was a Suffragist; Lillian after my best friend, etc.)

Guilty pleasure names? Ummmm...I don't know that I have any. Well, kind of, but I don't really feel guilty for liking them, they just aren't really what I want to name my kids. I like last names for boys -- Walker, Brennan, etc. and I have a soft spot for the name Orion, I don't even know why. I used to want to use it, but I'm over it, now, haha. For girls, my guilty pleasure name is Jordan, which I absolutely LOVE. I just normally hate all boys-as-girls-names or even just unisex names (ex: Casey, etc.) so it doesn't mix well with my other girls' names and I'd therefore never use it.

Emily Margaret
Eliza Lillian
Eleanor Grace

Jacob Michael
Joshua Atticus
Joel Timothy

* it worked well with my girls' names, because I love all three of them, but it didn't work so well with the boys' because the only J name I absolutely love is Jake. The others I just sort of like, but my other top 3 names for boys are Sam and Luke and I can't find any other boys' names I like starting with S or L.

Some of these names are the same as the other one I did without limiting myself. :)

Edith Catrione
Eulalia Chella

David Kristopher
Daniel Kailin
Dalen Kieran

And Eulalia is my like I probably won't use because I don't like the American/English pronunciation of it.

I like traditional and also British names that sound sophisicated.

Oh and my guilty pleasure name that I would never actually use for a child is Nicodemous, so i used it on a pet instead.

For girls I like cute sounding names or names that evoke some kind of warm, soft thought. I also like traditional names and preffer those to others (except Leelou) and for boys I am 100% traditional but not boring names.

My list of guilty pleasures is: Leia, Vesper, Velkoria, Sekina, Prue, Rahne (pronounced Rain), Darkora, Hellina (nn Hell), Neryssah (nn Nery) and I think that's it.

I named my sextuplets in another post =D
