*waves* Newbie, Here!

[mickey-sixx.livejournal.com]

Came via the LJ Spotlight. Like many others that have posted here, I'm no where near close to having kids yet, but names have always been a fascination with me. Usually, I get inspiration from characters in books or TV, but some of these I've always liked. I was named after a song by a British 60's band called The Hollies. I was named for their 1967 hit Carrie Anne, but my Mum wanted to change the spelling so it ended up as being Karianne. I have yet to see anyone else have the same spelling, so I guess I'm unique. :P

Anyway, on to my names:

Unisex
Jamie (I've always wanted to use this for a girl, but for a boy is good too)
Jay (Same reason as above)
Jordan

Girls
Rai (I saw this in a book as a shortened version of Rachel, but I'm not too keen on Rachel, so I chose the shortened version)
Morgan
Rashel
Kimberly
Calleigh

Boys
Jason (Blame Power Rangers for this *rolls eyes* Sad, I know)
Zachary/Zachery
Darcy
Danny (Not Daniel, just Danny)
Hunter (Book again. Actually, a British character in an American Based book.)
Ash
Quinn

Aaaaand that's all I can think off at the moment. This comm is quite handy for me, because I'm a writer, and I need a good list of names to pick for characters. :D

I really like Kimberly, Jason and Zachary, very nice names!

What book did you see the name Rai in? It's my friend's name and I'm sure she'd be interested as it's so unusual.

[mickey-sixx.livejournal.com]

I actually can't remember. It was a while ago now...but if I can find the title, I'll let you know. :( Sorry I couldn't help more.

I really like Quinn. In fact, it's one of our top picks, either for a boy or a girl, for our baby due in October. :)

[mickey-sixx.livejournal.com]

Aww, congrats on the baby!

I've never thought about Quinn as a girls name before. It works, and I quite like it :D

[mistresslane.livejournal.com]

I've heard that as a really popular boys name recently and just had two friends name their babies out of (either sex) so yeah it's really nice to me too :)

What series did you find the name Hunter in? I think I've read it...

[mickey-sixx.livejournal.com]

Well, depending on where you are in the world, the series was called Sweep. Here in the UK it was called Wicca. :D

[madeeha.livejournal.com]

Hehe, I was just thinking, "I wonder if he (she?) got that name from the Wicca series... but yea, it's a damn hot name ^_^

[mickey-sixx.livejournal.com]

I wonder if he (she?)

*grins* I'm a she :D It's a great name!

[just-a-label.livejournal.com]

I was going to ask the same thing (Except here its called Sweep...)

[sisterite.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Incredibly good series. ^_^ I was wondering if that's where you found it.

[rivers-child.livejournal.com]

yup! that was it. Thanks.

[ace-hart.livejournal.com]

I feel the same way about the names Kimberly, Zachary and Jason for the same reason as you. Go Power Rangers Go!

That show also endeared me to Billy and Adam... though I loathe the name Tommy for some reason...

[marnielouise.livejournal.com]

I like Quinn and Darcy the best :)

P.S - I like your name song :)

[ignitethedawn.livejournal.com]

My name is Rachel, and I've shortened it to Rae with an e instead of an i.

it works :)

[mickey-sixx.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I like that it that way too! :D

[oneworldvision.livejournal.com]

Not to rain on your parade, but I know two Kariannes. ;)

I don't like unisex names as a rule, but I do love Jamie for a boy. Only as a nickname for James, though. Jamie wouldn't seem right on an old man.

The only girls' name on your list that I like is Kimberly. I like Morgan for a boy, but again with the unisex thing.

I like most of your boys' names.

[mickey-sixx.livejournal.com]

Spelt the same way? *pouts* Aww...I quite liked being unique. :)

Morgan for a boy is good too :D

My sister's name is Rachel Angelene, but everyone calls her Rach except for me. Rach bugs the hell outta me, so Ray it is.

[silverstarss.livejournal.com]

My sister just named my niece " quinn " but she spelt it. " quinne "
I think the E makes it more feminine.
