all my favorite baby names

 Hi! I've been working on this list of baby names I like for years, adding to it as I think of new ones. I thought it might be fun to share - I know I'm always interested in people's favorite baby names. For example, I really loved Elsie Larson's list -- in fact, we have similar taste, so you'll find some overlap. 'Elsie' is even the first name on my list - lol. 

These are in no particular order, and some are ones I think are pretty but will likely never use - Holiday, for example, is so vintage inspired and fun, but I imagine people might use the nickname Holly, which I don't love. 

Here they are, go wild:
