Nothing is more homely than a good brew, snapped by me in Covent Garden.
Not content with having a gazillion different blogs to read new posts on a regular basis, I’ve recently taken a delve into vlogs as well.
One video that really caught my eye was by littlelunaful, who is a northern lass a few years younger than me. She talked about what she described as homestyle names, defining them as being comforting, familiar, informal and simple. I must say I found myself really liking some of the names she placed in this category. The names she selected for her list included:
Girls:
Bonnie
Celia
Cora
Effie
Kitty
Lottie
Nina
Tilly
Vera
Willa
Boys:
Cal
Clay
Cy
Cyrus
Eli
Grady/Gradie
Leo
Admittedly, I found the male names a more eclectic list than the female one, but it’s a good collection of names nevertheless. Of course, I couldn’t resist coming up with my own ideas of names which one could consider homestyle:
Alice
Connie
Hattie
Molly
Petal
Poppy
Susie
Freddie
George
James/Jamie – Jimmy?
Jools/Jules
Rupert
Sid
Anyone care to suggest others?
