Somewhere to share my indulgence!

This community is fantastic! I'm not planning to have kids for ages yet, but I'm obsessed with choosing names. In fact, I think I should have a job naming people's babies/pets/houseplants...

After years of vetoing each other's choices (he wanted Lazarus!) my husband and I have decided on Willoughby Jonathan for a boy (Jonathan is my little brother's name). Naming girls can be much more imaginative! I currently love:

Kaliadne (kal-ee-add-nee, a greek name)
Bethlehem (I'm not religious, but it's so pretty)
Meredith
Willow

I love reading everyone else's choices/ideas!

Kaliadne is beautiful. I looked it up after seeing your post. The Greek name for a naiad-daughter of Neilos, the Greek personification of the river Nile. Such a pretty name. I'm adding it to my list of favorites.

Yeah, I went through a Greek phase at uni. I had a whole list, but only Kaliadne has stuck with me.

Ah, Willoughby - Jane Austen fan? I love it.
Meredith is one of my top names as well.

Indeedy!

[ladydiddymus.livejournal.com]

you could also consider Bethany, it sounds similar but is a little more common. ironically its also religious - its the town outside of Jerusalem where Lazarus was baptized! haha

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

It's hard to avoid religious names - a lot of things seems to trace back to it.

Ooo, Kaliadne! I've never heard that before, but it's really cool!

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[seksimaggie.livejournal.com]

With Kaliadne, which syllable gets the emphasis?

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

Kal-i-AD-ne, I think.

I love Willow..One of my absolute faves.

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

'Tis gorgeous, though I would worry that people thought I stole it from Buffy...

[morphinae.livejournal.com]

To give you fair warning, if I saw a a sib set "Willoughby" and "Bethlehem", I'd snark it in a heart beat. I do love Will or William, and Meredith is gorgeous, Willow is cute.

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

Snark it? What does that mean?

[morphinae.livejournal.com]

Noun:
Combination of "snide" and "remark". Sarcastic comment(s). Biting, cruel humor or wit, commonly used to verbally attack someone or something.

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

Great word! Though mean usage - don't snark my hypothetical children! :P

My husband has vetoed Bethlehem, so it won't happen anyways.

[morphinae.livejournal.com]

lol, I've had this community going for..I think 3 years? If I didn't snark, I'd go nuts and start lobbying for sterilization based on the sheer crap I've seen people burden their children with.

Snarking is good. Point to husband ;)
