[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.)

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.

Of the ones on your list, maybe Arwen Josephine or Arwen Camille. I'd go with something more feminine, and slightly more common. That way she's always got the option of going by her middle name if she wants something more common and more feminine.

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]

I like those ideas. Thanks..:)

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.

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.

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]

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.

I think a lot of people (not saying you, just a lot of people) love the literary association more than the name itself. It doesn't have an especially pleasant sound, but it has such a great literary association people overlook that.

Don't think the literary association itself should kill it. However, I have trouble imagining a kid called Atticus.

[lneef.livejournal.com]

The name you're wondering about is properly spelled Aisling and pronounced "Ash-lin".

[http://users.livejournal.com/_x_blackroses_x/]

No prob. :) That's as over-the-top as I get, lol. I wouldn't spell it Rayne or anything.

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

Thanks!! Do you like Camille better than Camilla?

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

And I live in Rowlett. We probably shop at the same walmart:)

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

How freaking weird is that..I used to go to that Walmart all the time, but with all that construction..it isnt worth it anymore.

[politicking.livejournal.com]

agreed, love Raine :)

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

I agree..its very pretty.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

haha. where is your icon from?

The L Word..

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!
