My names

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

I posted a while ago, but I've updated the list and such things!

I'm also interested in the meanings - if I've got these wrong please correct me!

My name - Kate - 'pure'
BF's name - Gary - 'spear rule'

Girls
Imogen Daire - 'innocent maiden', 'fruitful'
Alex Elizabeth - 'defender of men', 'God is my oath'
Sara - 'princess'

I really want Imogen Elizabeth, but I though it was a bit of a mouthful...

Boys
Dylan - 'Born from the Ocean'
Finn - 'fair'
Kester - 'Bearer of Christ'
James - 'Supplanter'
Tristan - 'Tumult'
Julian - 'Downy youth'
Jack - 'God is gracious'
Caspian - From the Chronicles of Narnia.

Not decided middle names yet! I love all of them as first names too much!

Ok, is Caspian going too far? Most of my names are 'normal', but I just love this name!
Also, James is my half brothers name, but I've never been very close to him and we only saw each other a few times a year, and even less now! It's one of my favourite names, but is it too close for me to use?

Comments? Thoughts?

I'd say Caspian's not too far out there. If anyone questioned it, you could point to the Caspian Sea as an example, if you felt strange explaining about the book. I like the name, too, although I don't know what nicknames might be derived from it.

this is actually nothing to do with your name list, but i LOVE the name kate :D always wanted to call my first-born daughter that name :)

I don't think Imogen Elizabeth is too much of a mouthful. Yes, its long, but they're easy to spell, common and beautiful names. and they flow together well I think.

I don't much like Caspian. I wouldn't say its going too far, I just don't much like it.. what would you kill him for short? caspy?!

If you like James, you should use it.

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Ah yeah - didn't think about the sea :)
I wouldn't want a nn, I like the name too much!

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

YAY! Hardly anyone mentions my name on here, and I love it :)

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

:) cheers.

Elizabeth is also a family name - my middle name, nanna's middle name and nanna's mum's first name!

As abouve - I wouldn't use a nn!

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I probably would be, I think I might just use it as a middle name - I quite Dylan James M...!

Cas is alright nn, if I was going to shorten it I suppose!!

Unusual names are IN right now. Go for Caspian if that's what you like!

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

I adore Caspian!

[unbakedbrownie.livejournal.com]

Caspian is cute!

My sister is Alexandria Maria Elizabeth (lastname).

I really like Finn and Tristan I think I might snag those for my list...:p

If the baby I'm carrying right now is a girl, she's totally going to be an Imogen! Also, I think Caspian is adorable. So yeah, good taste!

[vase-of-acid.livejournal.com]

I adore Caspian! And if you/your son ever thought it was "too weird" or something, he could just go by "Cas(s)."

I really like the name Kate, too. Alas... "Cate" is my fiance's last name, so no dice. :(

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

:) My best friends name is Imogen, and she can't understand why I love it! She thinks its awful!

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Finn is my all time favourite name along with Dylan!

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Thats really pretty!
I like Alexandria, but I prefer Alex!

All I need to do is convince the boyfriend!
...and have a baby!
Heh!

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Yeah, although I don't like shortening names much! But the options there!
[and I'd give him a snesible middle name he could use!!]
