These are two very different qualities in a name. I agree with Sarah and Jane for boring, but unimposing is more like e.g. Sunshine, Princess, basically anything that works better as a pet name than a birth name or is embarrassing/childish. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. ...

Leonhart4 posted... Lynn Came in to post this. Unimposing names need soft sounds. Kate, for instance, is the exact opposite of unimposing and is used for a number of heroine characters in novels. But it also needs to be something that doesn't stand out as remarkable, like, say, Robin, which makes you think of the bird. And, of course, anything not super common is going to stand out as well. If you're just looking for someone to blend into the background, a name like Jennifer can work. Looking at a name frequency chart, some other ideas: Mary Susan (but not Mary Sue, lol) Betty Helen Donna Sharon Deborah Melissa Brenda Amy Martha --- Only the exceptions can be exceptional. ...

Susan isn't a boring name. I've known lots of people named that and most of them were pretty outgoing. (Also, Susan Ivanova from Babylon 5 is very imposing) Mary is pretty boring. (unless its with a second part like MaryAnn) --- Don't mess with a Bunny! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Emily It is the least imposing out of all the generic (boring) names, mostly because its popularity is still recentish, meaning most of the Emilys are still in their 30s or younger. --- Don't mind me. I'm just here for the contest. ... Copied to Clipboard!

oh yeah, that name has been around for a while. The poet Emily Dickinson from the 1800s comes to mind. But as you mentioned, it kind of went out and then came back in with a vengeance. It's actually going back out at the moment. Thus the cycle of names. --- Don't mind me. I'm just here for the contest. ... Copied to Clipboard!
