Searching for a name...

[surrealkiller.livejournal.com]

These are names that I really like that I have found recently. I haven't told my boyfriend about any of them yet but I'm hoping we will agree on at least one of these plus a middle name. I'm pregnant with my first child and I'm only in my third week so I have a while to go before I know the sex.

GIRL

Aurahlin (Made this up myself, means circle of light)

Aaralyn (English)

Scarlette (Deep red)

Carlijn (Free one)

Lucjia (pronounced LOO - Sha) (Light)

Phallon (Leader)


BOY

Gabriel (Faithful/archangel)

Gavriel (Faithful)

Carsten (Faithful follower)

Myron (Myrrh)

Atreyo (King)

Carlijn is a pretty common Dutch name! How funny that you picked that one too ;) =)
I like the sound of Aurahlin, Scarlett and Lucjia, but only with different spellings. Especially Lucjia, why not Lucia?

[qalanjo.livejournal.com]

Phallon look too much like Phallus ;( Maybe Fallon?

[surrealkiller.livejournal.com]

Yeah...I was thinking about that, it's actually the least liked on my list, but I would still consider it if the boy really liked it.

Fallon is the actual spelling, but I like to get crazy with spellings because I generally like long names.

[surrealkiller.livejournal.com]

Lucia is the real spelling of the name, but I always modify spellings because I like longer names generally, and I don't usually like normal or common ways to spell things. Yes, I'm one of those people :).

My mom was the same way with my name it's "Chrystal", because she thought the normal spelling of "Crystal" was boring. However, everyone ALWAYS spells it the normal way anyway and I constantly have to correct them. That can really get annoying, but I like my spelling better nontheless.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

but Phallon is only one letter longer than Fallon

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

Phallon sounds too much like phallus. Sorry :(

Scarlette is a gorgeous name, though I prefer Scarlett.

[queen-mab.livejournal.com]

Aurahlin (Made this up myself, means circle of light) - I generally don't like made up names...

Aaralyn (English) - Reminds me of Aryan, which isn't good.

Scarlette (Deep red) - I do like this, but I prefer Scarlett. The added E looks like it's supposed to be a small scar.. or female scar, lol, or something.

Carlijn (Free one) - Pretty.

Lucjia (pronounced LOO - Sha) (Light) - I prefer Lucia, pronounced Loo-SEE-uh, but otherwise this is okay.

Phallon (Leader) - Looks like phallus or phallic. =\

[o-honeybee-o.livejournal.com]

I like Scarlett spelt like this, it's on my list :)

If Aurahlin is made up, how does it have a meaning? Did u make the meaning up too?..just curious.

[missbailey.livejournal.com]

isn't it Atreyu? not Atreyo
from neverending story
great name tho.
i loooove lucjia

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]

I knew a Fallon growing up and she hated her name because everyone teased her with phallus jokes. I am assuming those jokes would only get worse if the name was spelled Phallon, just fyi....


and I love Lucia! I just worry people might misspell Lucjia. :)

[alexandria-skye.livejournal.com]

i *love* the name gabriel :D

[destined-dreams.livejournal.com]

Aurahlin is a pretty name, although it might often be misspelled.

And I like Gabriel for a boy's name.

[surrealkiller.livejournal.com]

Yeah...that's why it's last on my list but I still think it's kinda pretty. I don't think I'd actually use it. I've seen it spelled Phallin, Fallon and Fallin too. I think Fallin looks too much like fallen..

People probably would misspell Lucjia, but she would probably know to correct them in due time :)

[surrealkiller.livejournal.com]

Atreyu wasn't on the name site I was on looking for names...the closest was Atreyo, which I liked as well. But I would totally use Atreyu after the movie, I LOVE the Neverending Story....I'm just not sure daddy would like that very much.

[surrealkiller.livejournal.com]

I did give Aurahlin it's meaning, I kind of thought of an aura and based it off the general idea. It's a distinctive atmosphere around someone/thing basically...so then I just decided it would mean circle of light.

:)

[surrealkiller.livejournal.com]

Every name in the world was made up by someone, at some time...so I really don't think it's bad to name a child something one constructed themselves.

Some people seem to dislike the idea because it isn't "traditional", however I'm not worried about that, it will be traditional eventually. I really want my kids to all have names that no one else has, or that very little people do.

[minga13.livejournal.com]

Aurahlin is most funky! I like unique names :D

[surrealkiller.livejournal.com]

indeed! thank you very much :D

Myron?

[azmoonchick.livejournal.com]

My father's name is Myron. He hates it to this day.

Re: Myron?

[surrealkiller.livejournal.com]

I like the name actually...it was my grandfather's name. He was polish and never really had a problem with it.
