I have been gathering opinions on this forum for a while now and find it very difficult to understand which names are considered nice and lovely… would you please name three of your favorites?
Modern and not overused. Thank you

I'd say on the whole traditional names are favoured on here, but tastes will vary a lot.

I'll go for Felix, Tristan and Stefan. (Tristan is on someone's list on another thread today for names you'd never call your children! So it really is a matter of personal preference.) None of those are modern though.

Define what you consider modern. Most of MN favours classic, traditional names.

Those that sound modern without feeling old school…
