something i've always been interested in since i can remember is names. i just love them. i love seeing people who are completely different suit the exact same name, or discover unusual names that just roll off the tongue. my favourite thing to do when i played on the sims was coming up with names for the members of the family, deciding which names complimented each other when naming offspring and matching up a couple's names so they fit just right.
one thing i've done for many years, is keep a list of names i really like simply because i like reading them. if i hear someone's named being called and like it, i'll add it to the list i keep on my phone. i like how they look. if it looks odd when it's written with the first letter capital, but looks really nice when it's written all lower case, i won't love it as much. sometimes i'll go to add a name and see a name i no longer like, so i'll delete it. i think they're pleasing to the eye and it's so interesting to see how tastes in names change.
i've always been good at remembering people's names, and i think that my interest in names in general really is the reason. i like to see how people make a name theirs, how someone who looks like a 'evan' at first glance, turns out to be a 'henry' but ends up suiting the name 'henry' way more than he ever would suit the name 'evan'.
do you have any odd interests?
