babynamesI've posted before, but this is my up-to-date list!
My name's Kate, and my boyfriends name is Gary.
We can't agree on many names, but at the moment we don't need to!
These are my favourites though:
Girls
Imogen Elizabeth - Gary hates the name Imogen so it won't used even though it's my favourite, and Elizabeth is a family name.
Sara Elizabeth - A name we both like! *Shock*
Alex Daire - I don't like Alex on a boy, and I don't like Alexandra or any version of! Daire I found on here and like it.
Alanna Rose - Just pretty! Alanna is my favourite character out of a book :)
Rosalind/Rosalie - very recent favourite names! I think they're so pretty, but I'm not sure if I'd ever use them.
Boys
Finn - All time favourite. Gary hates it!
Jack - Another name we both like, even if it is really popular!
Dylan - Ditto Finn :(
Kester - I really likr this, like Christopher, but less popular. At least I've never met a Kester!
Julian - Love love love. Gary says its a 'gay mans' name.
Ben - I WILL use this name. Its always been a favourite ever since I was little!
Nathan/Nathanial/Nathaniel - I'm leaning more towards Nathan than the longer versions. He'd be called Nate anyway!
Christian - I like this name, don't know if I'd ever use it though
Edward - Just so long he was NEVER called Ted...
Leander - I know without even suggesting it Gary will hate it, but I like it!
Rory - Again, don't know if I'd use it, but I like it!
Tristan - This appeals to King Arthur fan in me, but I don't think I'd ever actually use it!
I haven't matched up any middle names for boys, so any sugestions for them or the girls are welcome!
Also how exactly do you pronounce Alanna? Is it Alan-a [kind of], or with a longer A-laarn-na sound? I'm rubbish at this sounding out words!
Thoughts, comments?

Date: 2007-06-28 02:31 pm (UTC)Sara Elizabeth - I like it better with an h (Sarah), but it's not bad, and I do like the combo.
Alex Daire - I hate the name Daire - it looks totally made-up and it reminds me of the word Dare. Besides, this name gives absolutely nothing away in terms of gender. What about Alex Claire? It still has the same sound, but it's not as gender neutral and Claire is a much prettier name than Daire.
Alanna Rose - Okay, I like this one. Alanna's not my style, but it's a gorgeous name.
Rosalind/Rosalie - I love this. Rosalie, that is. It looks weird ending in d for some reason.
Boys
Finn - I like this name, but it's totally trendy and popular.
Jack - Like it, but it's still really popular. I'd probably still use it, though. If that doesn't matter, use it.
Dylan - I hate this name. It seems so 80s/early 90s to me.
Kester - It sounds like a last name, or a cleaning product.
Julian - I LOVE this. What about the nickname Jude? Can he live with that?
Ben - LOVE this name. It's my #2.
Nathan/Nathanial/Nathaniel - I love this. I don't like the spelling of -ial, but Nathan and Nathaniel are both great names.
Christian - It's okay, but not my style
Edward - LOVE IT. I don't like the nickname Ted, either.
Leander - Too out-there for me.
Rory - Gilmore Girls has ruined this as a unisex name. It will forever be a girl's name to me.
Tristan - I haaaate this name. It's also incredibly trendy.
Of your list, by favorites are:
Sara Elizabeth
Alanna Rose
(and Alex would be on this list if it was paired with something other than Daire)
Finn
Jack
Ben
Nathan(iel)
Edward

Date: 2007-06-28 02:37 pm (UTC)I don't really like the name Claire. I'm really picky with girls names! Daire isn't a definate, I just like the sound of it with Alex!
Dylan is because I live in Wales, and Gary is Welsh, so I thought he'd want a Welsh-tyoe name.... but apparently not!
I doubt he could live with Jude. ATM he's just hating any name I come up with!
No one likes the ending -ial for Nathan except me!
I don't generally care if names a 'trendy' cause we propably won't be having kids for a few years!
