Names have been an obsession of mine since childhood. My quest beginning with this post is to list every name there is (personal name, not surname, pet name, etc). Not every spelling, mind you, just every name. I don't mean to list Ann and Anne.
So, beginning with A (and add any you see that I have missed)
(there's irregular spacing between some of the names - no names are missing this blog editor is just weird that way)

Robert Frost's poem "A Cliff Dwelling" reminds me of the people who must have lived here "Oh years ago--ten thousand years" and enjoyed the beauty and safety of a cliff. A place "to rest from his besetting fears". Welcome to mine.
In 2014 I featured a series of blog posts introducing you to 2,014 names. For the most part they were names that were brand new to me as well. Some names may be more familiar but I found the meaning or origin or some other aspect of the name made it worthy of inclusion here. You may love some of the names, you may hate some, but hopefully you enjoy learning about all of them.
