Does it ever happen to you?
A name that had never had any special appeal whatsoever, suddenly seems to light up and shine before your eyes? It's like someone with a polishing cloth just came over and gave it a good scrub.
Or names that just never stood out from a crowd, are now just a pleasure to look at and combine?
No? Yeah, me neither.
Lol, just kidding.
Maybe it's a phase, maybe tastes are changing.
I just find myself coming back to names I'd never even consider a while back. There are not loads of them, but I find a new one or two every once in a while.
And I thought I needed a place to post my "Naming Lovelies" of the moment
I'd like to know what you think, sincerely.

Serafina (most of the time I use Seraphina), Piper, and Leona are on my list, too. Romilly made my GP list recently. Aurelia is a newcomer on my regular list. Gretchen, Talitha, Clare, and Verity are nms.
Miles, Tobias, and Simon are on my list as loves, and Gideon is a GP. The rest are nms.
The sudden strike of passion for a name happens to me a lot. Names I remember suddenly jumping to the top of my list from nowhere include: Lenore, Seren, Amoret, Arthur, Sullivan, Kaede, Sabrina, Clementine, Sebastian, Jessamine, Lilith. All made the top 20 (and stayed) as soon as I put them on my list. They really didn't have much appeal before, then something just happened to change that. I specifically remember disliking a few when I saw them on a list a few months ago. Guess my tastes have changeed, too. My other favorite names are more of a Miracle Gro sort than a lightning bolt, but I love them nonetheless.

That happens to me a lot. There are a lot of names that I never even considered, but now I absolutely love them. Like for boys: Milo, Casey, Caius, Paris and Silas. For girls: Madeleine, Matilda, Ariel, Camille, Cassidy, Piper, Phoebe, Stella and Lucia.
From your names, I really like these:
Piper - I've loved this name ever since I first saw the show Charmed. I actually like all of those names: Prue, Phoebe, Paige and Melinda.
Aurelia - Very beatiful and uncommon.
The rest aren't bad, but they're not my style. I never liked Gretchen, to me it sounds too harsh. Talitha looks too made up for my taste, but Tabitha is nice. I've never heard of Romilly, but it's not bad. I love the nickname Romy though. I've never really been a fan of word names, like Verity, Destiny, Faith, and so on. The only exceptions would be Justice for either a boy or girl, and Chance for a boy.
From the boys, I like these:
Silas - I absolutely love this one. It's my favorite boy name at the moment. So handsome and strong
Miles - I like this, but I would prefer Milo. But I've heard Milo as a nickname for Miles, so I like it
Gideon - I like this because it's different, but not too out there. I've liked it since I heard it on tv, but I think I'm too scared to put it on my list.
Tobias - I love this name so much. I love names like this. Other names that seem like they fit the style that I love are these: Cassius, Caspian, Josiah, Leo, Elias, Jeremiah, Jonah, Matthias, Nikolai, Zachariah and Mikai (mu-kai).
Justice - I have loved this name for as long as I could remember. When I was about 10, I knew a little 5 year old boy with this name and he was the most handsome little child that I had ever seen. So I've loved the name ever since. I think it's so unique, without being weird and made-up. And so handsome.
Simon - I like this name, as well as Simeon, but I'm not sure about them yet. Samson is another name that I love

Seraphina and Miles are two names I thought I'd never like, but the more I see them and say them, I like them.
I went to school with two Shelby's and never really thought much about the name, until I got pregnant and now we're naming our daughter Shelby and I absolutely love it!(:

Serafina -- I like this name in theory, but for some reason I dont think it would work (for me) in everyday use, it is just a bit too flowery for my taste and it doesnt have a cute nn other than Sera which doesnt really do it for me. Lovely name though.
Piper -- I've liked this name ever since Charmed...but it also has a bit of a tryndy feel to it and again, in everyday use doesnt work for me.
Romilly -- I think the nn Romy is adorable...Romilly is nice though not one I'd choose.
Leona -- Leona is actually the main character's name in my novel-in-progress. I think the name is very underused and classically beautiful. Love it!
Clare -- Claire is a family name on my mother's side...We have a Lena Claire (my aunt), Claire Nicole (my cousin) and Madeline Claire (my sister). I think the name is a great middle name, though I think for a first name I prefer Clara.
Gretchen -- I had a dog named Gretchen . To me this name is a bit out there for a girl (at least in the US)...it always brings to mind Hanzel & Gretal...Its a nice name, just not very pretty, IMO.
Talitha -- Never heard this one before, reminds me of Tabitha but with a more exotic twist. Pretty.
Aurelia -- When you look at it, it is a very pretty name. But saying it out loud leaves something to be desired. Am I pron it correctly? UR ril EE ah ??
Verity -- LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
Chase -- I like this name, though it is hard to pair with a first or middle name.
Silas -- LOVE! I also like the idea of Sly as a middle name
Miles -- LOVE! I think Milo is great too.
Gideon -- Okay. I know of a Gideon. Its a nice name but like Serafina, is a bit too much for everyday use and doesnt have any great nns.
Tobias [toby] -- I think Tobias is a great name, not a big fan of Toby for a nn though...too much like a dogs name (I had several dogs named Toby) I think it makes a GREAT middle name though.
Justice -- Okay, not a fan.
Jarvis -- Not really my style.
Simon -- LOVE!!
Piper -- I've liked this name ever since Charmed...but it also has a bit of a tryndy feel to it and again, in everyday use doesnt work for me.
Romilly -- I think the nn Romy is adorable...Romilly is nice though not one I'd choose.
Leona -- Leona is actually the main character's name in my novel-in-progress. I think the name is very underused and classically beautiful. Love it!
Clare -- Claire is a family name on my mother's side...We have a Lena Claire (my aunt), Claire Nicole (my cousin) and Madeline Claire (my sister). I think the name is a great middle name, though I think for a first name I prefer Clara.

Verity -- LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
Chase -- I like this name, though it is hard to pair with a first or middle name.
Silas -- LOVE! I also like the idea of Sly as a middle name
Miles -- LOVE! I think Milo is great too.
Gideon -- Okay. I know of a Gideon. Its a nice name but like Serafina, is a bit too much for everyday use and doesnt have any great nns.

Justice -- Okay, not a fan.
Jarvis -- Not really my style.
Simon -- LOVE!!
