Names I like:

[shipinabathtub.livejournal.com]

Ahh, I've just spotted this community and I love it already!

My name is Jaclyn Beth, and I do like it now (but only if my first name (which is pronounced the same as "Jacqueline") is kept whole or shorted into Jack.  I really do not like Jackie), but for years I didn't.  I was named after my father's close friend John Bernard who died shortly before I was born.  While my name is nice, I've been toying with the idea of changing my middle name to Elizabeth, because as my last name starts with a W, and then my initials would be "J.E.W." (and I am one, so I thought it would be kind of funny).  I don't think I'll actually do it though.  My dad would kill me.

Anyway, my favorite names are:

Girls:
Belle
Blythe
Clara
Claire
Dagny
Irene (my grandmother's name)
Valancy

.. and that's all I can think of right now!  I like more old-fashioned names with a twist. I think they're beautiful.

Boys:
Eric
David
James
Marc

Good old, fashioned names for boys I guess.
