I'm In Heaven

Eeek, just found this group on spotlight, and I'm excited!

Hi, I'm Mercy, and I've pretty much been obsessed with names since the tender age of 5 when my mom's baby naming book and I were attached at the hip. I flipped through it every so days for years, until the pages started falling out. I still have it, actually, like 11 years later. So yeah, I love names!

Do any of you ever look back on names you absolutely loved and think "god, what was I thinking?!" I think mine must've been Aloha, Nebula, and  Clu.

Current faves:
Emmeline                   Keiran
Evanna                        Soren
Mikaela                        Mikah (My-kuh)

My favorite names when I was a kid were Kammi, Pammy, Kimmi, Sally and Lacey-Jade. I don't like any of them anymore.
Although I did end up using my favorite boys name (Damien) when I had my son.
I did name my childhood animals the girls names. I had a dog named Pammy from The Shirttales. I also had a cat named Sally, it was a boy, but I insisted on naming it Sally.
Kieran is a tie for my second favorite boys name. =)

I've got an aunt named Mikah, only she says it Mee-kah.

And no, you're not alone on embarrassment over past names. Up till fifth grade I wanted twin girls, and I planned on naming them Denim and Lace.

Keiran is a lovely name :) My fiance is called Kieran (I've got used to that spelling, so everything else looks weird to me! ;))
