Favorite Name

I want to know what your favorite name is. Choose a guy name, then tell me why, then choose a girl name and tell me why. Is there a story behind why this is your favorite name? What's the name meaning behind this?

=====================

My favorite name for a girl is Melanie. Why you ask? Because when I read Gone With the Wind for the first time, she was my favorite character, and still is. And this name sounds so sweet and innocent. It also has this little ring to it making it sound like poetry. One worded poetry.
Melanie means-black and dark

My favorite guy name is Shawn. Why you ask? Because that is the name of my best guy friend and he is wonderful!
Shawn means-is gracious

What's your favorite name?

Penelope. love the intonation!

Well for a guy it's Chase: It sounds so kind (to me) yet mysterious and adventurous.

For a girl it's Dakota: It's a sweet and innocent, but it also sounds like the girl could be rugged.

For a guy I like Nathan.
For a girl I absolutely love: Caitlyn and Johanna.
I like Caitlyn because it was my favorite character on the collection Pedras Mágicas by Sandra Carvalho, but the others it's just because i like them.
