To be honest, I’ve always had an interest in names.I was one of those girls who was 10 & planning their family! Also, I have always made stories, so I constantly needed names.Even when I don’t write the stories, I generally always have a story in my head & need names lol. Also, names are apart of my core interests or are interlinked with them.History,culture, literature,words,children & family are all parts of names or names are crucial parts in them.So, my interests are interlinked

I first joined YA for school purposes, as I often answers that I needed on here & couldn’t comment as I wasn’t a member. I then ambled my way through the different sections, when I settled on baby names, as it is was one of the few things a person can do that was ‘pure’ if that makes sense.It’s innocent & fun.You can’t cause harm & you learn a lot. Also, I enjoy learning about names & the cultures.Overall, I like helping people & trying to help them find their perfect fit

Good question!

I really don’t know why I love names as much as I do, but they interest me so much. Y!A has helped me pick out names for my children actually, and I think it’s pretty cool if I can help others. I’m also trying to work on not being so opinionated in my answers lol. Not everyone has the same opinion or taste in names that I do.

Well, I just love names in general. I like to try to come up with great combos and sibling sets.

I also like the social aspect of it. I like knowing what the general consensus is about certain names, and I like knowing why people like or dislike names, what associations people have with names…

I think it is interesting to see different cultures and what they do with names and you can discover beautiful meanings. Also for the young users- they have an idea what to name their kids when their time comes- But mainly I love to help people.

EDIT: But mainly the same reason as "ԼƖƔƖ ԼƲ ღ кιѕѕє∂ ву α яσѕє " it’s just interesting and fun to help people out with a decison that can influence their childs life e.t.c- and it is also fun to see what they end up going with- especially when they choose the name you suggested- i suggested a few names that people have gone with some of them was Sophie Adele and Brayden Jackson- I choose the middle names. I was sooo happy.

I'm interested in the etymology of names, the meanings and history of them. I love names that have a story to them. Names with a history.

Your name is your identity, it sets the mood for your entire life, and just by changing one letter in a name it is possible to totally alter an identity. The endless possibilites are fascinating.

Good question.
I don’t think I have an answer.
Haha (:

At first it was just because I was bored, and also trying to be helpful. But then I started getting curious about names, where they come from, what they mean, how they sound to different people. I realized that, like many other things in life, I have more opinions on the subject than I realized. I never thought of names as having a particular "style" but by looking at more and more of others’ preferences, I started recognizing my own "taste" and developed a particular interest towards certain names. I’ve always loved languages and reading, writing and talking are some of my favorite things to do lol, so I guess names fall under that category?
Now the reason I like it is because I like to share what I like, to learn what others like and to offer as much help as I can. (:

I just really like names in general. I love to meet people with interesting names from different backgrounds and cultures. I love to hear the stories behind their names. I love to discuss names with almost anyone. I'm always asking people questions about their names and the names they like. All I know is that I really love names. And I love talking about them.
