Too many names for not enough babies!

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

My name list is quite short, as it only has names that I would actually use, not names that I just think are pretty...

Girls:
Kaliadne
Bethlehem
Aurora
Ivy

Boys:
Willoughby
Quinn
Balthazar

I love the name Balthazar. I was going to use that and my family went ape. I don't get it!

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

Silly family! Mine were the same.

I used to be a Charmed fanatic, so Balthazar to me is a demon that became the Source of All Evil and was Cole Turner's alter-ego. So I can't really see it used as a baby's name.

Otherwise, the names are cute. I like Kaliadne and Aurora the best. Bethlehem is pretty, but I don't think I'd use it on a child.

I don't watch Charmed, so I only know the name from Shakespeare where he was a fairly nice peripheral character.

Unfortunately, Bethlehem and Balthazar have both been vetoed by my hubby, so I can't use them anyway!

i dont like balthazar.. it reminds me of an evil demon on Charmed.

and bethlehem? do you want your kid to get made fun of?

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

Not particularly, but I don't think that it will happen. If a kid is going to be a target for bullies, they will be whether they have an unusual name or wear glasses or are smarter than average. And any name can be twisted by kids, regardless of whether it's unusual or not.

Love the name Aurora. I think the name Aurora Ivy is pretty together. I know someone who's baby is named Aurora Rose. I also like the name Quinn. I think the name Quinn Willoughby sounds good together too.

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

I think Aurora Ivy sounds lovely, too! And I'd probably use Rose as a middle name for Kaliadne.

I've decided on Willoughby Jonathan if I have a son - Jonathan is my brother's name.

[stephmariemarsh.livejournal.com]

Willoughby Jonathan sounds awesome together. I'm having twins (boys) thier names are Hunter William (William is my dad's middle name) and Kaiden Jacob (Jacob being after my boyfriend)

I love Aurora and Ivy.

I love the word Willoughby, but it would always make me think of the scoundrel from Sense and Sensibility.

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

Exactly! He'll be a player!

[fairyfetus.livejournal.com]

I like Ivy and lovelovelovelove Balthazar.

Balthazar is the birth name of this artist that really creeps me out. So, that doesn't work for me.
Wiloughby would also make me think of Sense and Sensibility. Also out.

I love Aurora, Ivy and Quinn.

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

I've not heard of that artist, but I'm not keen on creepy art!

[candyshowers.livejournal.com]

Lol, me either. Creepy art is bad.

The artist goes by Balthus.

Aurora and Ivy are nice, and even Kaliadne's okay, but Bethlehem? I guess you could call her Beth for short...

Willoughby is silly enough on it's own, but why does everyone suddenly want to name their sons after a Jane Austen villain? Willoughby was a drunk guy who seduced young girls.

Naming a kid Balthazar would also be pretty mean.

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I'm not allowed Balthazar or Bethlehem. :(

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

What about as middle names?

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that could work. I've not really thought a lot about middle names, so it's definitely an option!

[mandy-23.livejournal.com]

Balthazar reminds me of a pokemon or a demon of some kind. I don't think it would be a good idea to name your child that. I promise you he will be made fun of and no one wants that for their kids. Quinn is nice and I'm not a fan of Willoughby. Reminds me of a stuffed animal pig or something.

Kaliadne I don't know about. Looks made up, but google informed me it's from Greek mythology. Bethlehem will be made fun of as well. Aurora and Ivy are pretty. Maybe Kaliadne and Bethlehem could be middle names?

And how do you pronounce Kaliadne? I think I'm saying it wrong.

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

Kaliadne is pronounced Kal-ee-add-nee. Yep, it's from Greek mythology.

My mum had a porcelain pig called Wilburforce - maybe Will is a pig's name!

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

Fantastic!

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

At first I was like "Kaliadne?!" but thinking about it a little longer, I actually really like it!

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

That's nice to hear :)

[alluminor.livejournal.com]

I like Balthazar. I also like Kaliadne and Bethlehem. Aurora and Ivy in themselves are not my favorites, but in combination with the other names they could be really lovely. I'm thinking Bethlehem Aurora and Kaliadne Ivy.

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I hadn't thought of Bethlehem Aurora as a combo, but I like it!

[fullofgrace40.livejournal.com]

i like aurora, ivy and quinn. everything is nms.

[missinfinity.livejournal.com]

I'd be careful with Quinn for a boy, we have several girl patients that are named Quinn... I don't think any name is safe from being switched genders!

[celtic--punk.livejournal.com]

i know a girl named quinn and she is adorable. i also like ivy for a girl

[ex-londonso.livejournal.com]

I love Bethlehem, Aurora, Ivy, Quinn and Balthazar :)
