Using these lists

Grouping names this way is a shortcut, not a rule. A themed list narrows thousands of options down to a set that already feels appropriate, which is far easier than scrolling an undifferentiated wall of names.

What does not change between groups is what makes a name work: one or two syllables, a clear opening sound, and no overlap with the words you use for commands. Pick the group that feels personal, then apply those tests to whatever you shortlist.
