Hey new members! I figured I'd repost my fave names (The names I plan to name my 4 children) and a couple others that I plan to use if I end up adopting out of the fost-adopt programme and I get a small child. Feel free to critique, but I warn you, I'm not nice when you attack my names! lol.

Boys (my known children I will adopt from Russia)

Twins:
Aleksei Zachary (nn:Lexxi)
Aubrey Ezekiel

Single:
Kaelin James

Girl (known I willa dopt from Russia)

Elisabeth Katherine (nn: Izzy)

Other names (I am joining the fost-adopt programme hopefully by August, so these names may come into play sooner rather than later):

Boys:
Joseph Nicholas (named after me and my brother)
Anthony Michael (named for my brother) (nn:Tony)
Edward ______ (named for my father (blah) but I have no middle name for Edward)
Nathaniel Brady (totally stolen from a kid I baby sit for, but that name is so perfect!)

Girls:
Carol Jean (Named for my aunt and my mother/grandmother/great-grandmother/etc...)
Leila Mildred (Probably won't use, but like a lot)

I think Aleksei is an awesome name - if the boy can pull it off. I think it's a very 'sexy' name on an adult.

aleksei is not horrible - it's the russian spelling. lexxi is a very feminine name though - i think alex or alek would be more masculine and more american-friendly as well.

but kudos for adopting from russia - my boyfriend is russian and i would like to incorporate a russian name or middle name into our future children's names :)

*laughs* yes, Lexxie is a "female" nickname, but where was all this when some chick on here wanted to name her sons Sandy and Whitney? It was no where.

Regardless, Lexi is merely a nickname, which will probably be shortened to Lex. I despise Alex and Alek, I would rather my sons be called Aleksei and Alexander then have those nicks...

ahh well, it was just a suggestion ;) lex is nice, much more masculine.
