Thomas/Tommy
Nicholas/Nick
Julia
Matteo
Gabriel/Gaby
Oakley
Jack
Thomas/Tommy: Thomas gives me a feeling of a semi-serious person, and seeing them smile is the most amazing thing. It makes you happy as they are. Tommy gives me more of a childhood friend vibe. Tommy seems like that kid who was always smiling and as a teen/adult, Tommy gives me the air of someone confident.
Nicholas/Nick: Nicholas gives me the vibe of someone with cold eyes and hardly smiles. I get a serious, strict vibe from the name, but it's not really someone who lacks a personality. When I hear Nicholas I generally imagine someone whose crunchy(for lack of a better term) on the outside and soft on the inside. If you can get there. Shortened to Nick, I get a kinda different vibe. I get a confident vibe, but still a semi-cold one. It gives me the vibe of someone who isn't quite as icy as Nicholas, but still not really reckless.
Julia: Julia gives me a bright and bubbly vibe. Kinda a soft, warm feeling that I'd get on a cool summer day. It gives me the feeling of happiness, constant smiles, and memories that I'll look back on with nostalgia.
Matteo: Matteo makes me think of a very strong-willed person and a leader. It gives me the feel of someone who isn't afraid to share their opinion and will protect the ones they love even if it costs them a lot. I don't really see a smile when thinking of this name, but I feel like this person is probably very loyal and trustworthy.
Gabriel/Gaby: Gabriel. Hmm. This actually gives me the sense of a very fun-loving and kind person, but someone who gets hurt easily. They are typically found annoying and obnoxious, but they really just want to be seen and usually have their kindness taken for granted. Gaby is a nickname I don't commonly see for Gabriel, so I found it quite interesting. It makes me think of someone who is kinda unique and unconventional. I envision a sly smile and slightly furrowed eyebrows thinking of this. It gives me an air of a slight light-hearted person.
Oakley: When I think of Oakley, I get a feeling as if someone it's someone I've known for my whole life, even if I've just met them. They feel like the friend I could just sit in a tree with to watch the sunset. The name gives me the feel of a really chill person that you could tell anything to and they'd almost always still have your back.
Jack: When I hear Jack, I generally think of someone really joking and kind, but smarter than they tend to let on. They give me the feeling that they'd be the butt of almost every joke within they're friend group because they're kind of the joker, but they always have an equally funny comeback to each joke and doesn't really take any of them to heart.
