Potential Name Help

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

My gf and I are in the process of trying to concieve and if that doesnt work then adopt. I have a few names selected. I have always been more fond of girl names than boys. I am up for suggestions for boys and girls. Middle names too.

Arwen Sage
Arwen Grey
Winter
Willow
Aslinn Winter
Lyra
Jocelyn
Josephine
October
Camilla/Camille
Rain
Peyton

Atticus Reed
Atticus Dean
Gideon
Elliot
Everett
Sullivan
Nash
Sawyer

Camille and Elliot. Aww. Cute.

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

Thanks!! I like Camille, but I also like Camilla. But I think I like Camille better.

Atticus! I LOVE THAT NAME! I'm also a huge fan of Elliot, Sawyer, and Sullivan.

I like Atticus Dean, Atticus Sawyer, and Atticus Gideon.

For girls, I'm not a huge fan of most of the names. I do, however, really like Jocelyn and Josephine.

Arwen is kind of confusing as to whether it's a boy or a girl, so I'd recommend picking something more feminine than Grey for a middle name.

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

I never thought of that. I do like Arwen Grey, but I dont want people to think she's a he. What do you suggest with Arwen that sounds more feminine?

I liiike...

Atticus, Elliot, Everett and Nash.

Winter, Willow, October, and Rain (though I spell it Raine.)

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

I was thinking of another way to spell it, but didnt want it to be over the top. I do like the E on the end. Thanks.

[politicking.livejournal.com]

agreed, love Raine :)

Josephine and Camilla/Camille are the only two I'd use from your girls' list. The rest are either too hippie, too masculine, or words (as opposed to names), though some have a nice sound.

From the boys list, I like Elliot. The rest are either too surnamey or too literary for my taste (Atticus).

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

That is the only thing I have doubts about with Atticus..Is it too much of a literay..but at the same time I love it. But thanks for your opinions.

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

YAY! More than half your names are on my list, too! As much as I love LOTR, I'm not sure how I feel about Arwen. I love Sage and Grey, though. I also love Winter (I'd use it as a mn), Willow, Aslinn (I prefer Aisling), Lyra, and Peyton for girls and Atticus, Reed, Gideon, Sullivan, and Sawyer for boys.

Dean is my dog's name and Elliot is my cousin so they're out for me, but good names. (Dean is a Winchester and Elliot is Elliot Charles.

My laptop battery is going out so I'll save my suggestions for later.

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

Yay..I finally found someone with similar name taste. I havent actually seen LOTR, but I have loved the name since I first heard it. Thanks and look forward to reading your suggestions.

[salenite222.livejournal.com]

The ones I really like are Camille, and Arwen Grey actually sounds REALLY good. I honestly don't like aslinn but maybe I'm pronouncing it wrong though.
I like both of the Jo names.

I like all of the boy names except for Nash.

I wish you and yours the best of luck conceiving :)

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

I like Aslinn pronounced like it looks really..As -linn. I know everyone has their opinion about that name, which is probably why I wont use it, but I do like it alot. I like Nash alot, but it seems more of a nickname than a first. Thanks!!

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

Thanks!! Do you like Camille better than Camilla?

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

haha. where is your icon from?

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

The L Word..

[briannablade.livejournal.com]

Yay for Arwen. I love that name and the associations. Willow is pretty sweet, but I think that's a biased opinion since I'm a Buffy fan and she's my favorite character. I love the name Rain and actually have that on a potential list for my child. Gideon is such an awesome name! Atticus is really neat as well. I've never heard it before but I like it a lot. Looks like you've got some great names going here. The only suggestion I have is that if you spell Rain "Rayne", it has gaelic/celtic associations if you like that kind of thing. Also, I don't know if you're a "geek" or not, but there are some really awesome Elven names that aren't completely off the wall and actually sound beautiful and not crazy. I've been looking at some in case my child is a girl. I was originally looking for one of my D&D characters but came across such amazingly beautiful names that I started the search for girls names of my own since I just found out that I was pregnant. They have some really great meanings and associations in case you're interested. There's a lot of sites on them. Drow names tend to sound a lot more rough, so I'm also looking at Drow names in case it's a boy. Just thought I'd share and let you know. But, like I said, I don't know what your interests are so this suggestion may sound completely awesome or completely stupid depending. :) Good luck with your search and trying to conceive!

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

Aww..thanks for the comment. What is an Elven name? Sorry if I sound dumb..what are your name choices?

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]

Funny, Atticus Dean is on my list! Or sometimes Atticus Sebastian Dean. ;)

I am in love with October and Josephine!!! I like your style...

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

Thanks!!!

[searlait.livejournal.com]

I don't think that October or Winter are appropriate outside of that month and season.

Camilla is really nice thoug, and I do love Elliot.

[pookie--bear.livejournal.com]

Jocelyn Raine, maybe?

I really like Atticus Reed :)

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

I do like Jocelyn Raine..thanks

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

Arwen = Lord of the Rings character, sage = herb, grey = shade. Does Grey have some kind of meaning? Because otherwise, I really don't think it works as a name. Same with Winter, but I can't talk, because I like Autumn for a middle name.

October is bad, especially for a girl, and I hate Aslinn, Rain, and Peyton. Willow, Lyra, Jocelyn and Josephine are all good, and I love Camilla.

Atticus is trendy right now, but I think it's a good name. Gideon is neat, and reminds me of the Great Big Sea song. Elliot is nice, Everett is all right (though kind of reminds me of a hick for some reason) but I don't like Sullivan, Nash, or Sawyer. They're all surnames, and Nash reminds me of a basketball player.

[alexandria-skye.livejournal.com]

i like arwen sage/grey, and i really like the name october (though it is a little over the top). i absolutely love the name jocelyn :)

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

I love October too!! Thanks..

[jordle.livejournal.com]

I'm not necessarily a fan of any of the individual names but I really like the style of names and I think they all go well together.

Good luck with getting pregnant!

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

Thanks!!

[pixietangerine.livejournal.com]

i think all of your names are absolutely fantastic, except peyton, which kind of pales in comparison to the rest of your list.
my favorites on your girl list are willow, lyra, and camilla/camille (not sure which of those two i like best, they're both great), but like i said, they're all pretty much fantastic. camilla rain is a pretty cute first/middle name combo. i like all the names on your boy list all pretty equally. a lot of them are kind of surname-y, so you might want to pair them with less surname-y names, if that makes any sense. like elliot nash would probably be better than sawyer nash, which sounds like two last names instead of a first and middle name.
best of luck with ttc!

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

Yeah I added Peyton spur of the moment, but I do like the name. Thanks for your thoughts..

[mountain-nest.livejournal.com]

whoah we have similar taste in names.
I like Grey, Winter, Willow, Josephine, October, Camille (not Camilla, though) and Rain; Reed, Elliot, Everett, and Sullivan.
Very nice!

I knew a girl named Arwen (named before the movies/accompanying mania, but yes, named for the literary elf). Lovely girl, lovely name. She reported very few problems with people not knowing how to spell it, and none regarding whether she were female or male.

I wouldn't use Atticus, because it's one of those names that everybody is now starting to say "OH YES I LOVE IT YES YES MY HEART" — whereas 5 years before, nobody would have admitted they liked it. It may not be trendy yet, but that kind of combination is... well, a gamble. Who wants to be even the first person to have a name if 500 kids are going to follow in a year or two, with the same thing? But it's a bet either way, and if it never becomes overly trendy, so much the better for the people who justifiably adore it.

Aislinn is Ashlin. Have you mistyped Aslinn, or are you intending to pronounce it Ass-lyn?

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

I intend of pronouncing it As Lynn...that is if I even decide to use that name. I more than likely wont..bc of all the confusion..
