Names

[ohpandabear.livejournal.com]

Hi =)
I thought I'd share my favorite names for both genders (: I've stolen a few from lists in this community, so if you see something familiar...eek!

Boys:
Noah, Tyson, Jonas, Forrest, Milo, Kale, Ron, Wesley, Liam, Jude, Ray, Owen, Hugh, Vincent

(I discovered Noah from the movie "The Notebook". Tyson, Jonas and Forrest are all names of lead singers in some of my favorite bands. I really do love the names, though (: Hugh is a reference to Hugh Laurie, and I know of a Liam.)

Girls:
Larissa, Anne, Maggie, Margot, Rory, Jane, Norah, Noya,

(I have a friend named Larissa. Rory was found after watching "Girlmore Girls". Norah was found after discovering "Nora Jones".)

Kale is great name. I used it for a character once.

Seconded! I think it may be a vegetable, but man, that's a vegetable with a cool name. :D

Whoa! Totally forgot it was a vegetable...

Well. Cheers to the person who named Kale...well..."Kale" :P

I like Noah, Jonas, Liam, Jude, Maggie and Jane a lot. I used to want to name my daughter Victoria and call her Rory, but Gilmore Girls killed that for me. I liked the name back when I liked the character, but I've hated her over the last few years :(

Aw D: I haven't watched the show in ages! Victoria with a nick name of Rory would've been cute...

I heard Rory dropped school or something? (I haven't watched any, and I mean *any*, of the recent episodes. I'm so left out...)

All American Rejects?

Most all pretty names.

Boy names I like:
I don't really like Noah, but it always reminds me of one of our top boy pics, Jonah. I think (I liked it once upon a time until there was a Noah on every corner. I see less Jonahs. I feel similarly about Jonas-- not that it's ultra-popular(dunno?), but that it is close to Jonah. I like Westley mostly because of The Princess Bride, but the idea of naming a son after someone I swooned for gives me the heebie jeebies, but cute name. Owen is cute. I know a baby Judah-- he's a cutie. I love love Liam and we'll probably use it, but I'm thinking maybe as a nickname for Uilliam (I like William, but not quite and i don't want to risk 'Will' or 'Willie' and my husband's name is William (Willie, and I dated a Will; Uilliam I found in an Irish baby name book). Although Liam is an acceptable given name nowadays, most sources I've checked say it's traditionally a nickname. The others are okay.


Girls: Do not like Larissa, Maggie is cute, but only as a nickname. Margot I like. Jane as well; I've thought of using it. Norah I like and have thought of using it, but I don't like the idea of naming my child after a singer, even if I love her music; I wouldn't name after the singer, but that's the only person I've seen with the name, although I know it's not uncommon.
I think Rory is a cute nickname, but on Gilmore Girls it's short for Lorelai and I don't like it as a given name. I also don't like that so many people get it from the show, lol. Also, Norah Jones spells it the same way you do, 'Norah'.

Like I said, nice names. A little heavy on nickname-seeming names.

Oh yeah, 'Noya' seems too much like 'annoying' to me.

I was thinking Noya was a bit strange...but. For some reason, I'm drawn to it xD

Thanks for the critiques (:
