i would really appreciate it if you told me which names you liked, which you hated, and if you could give me some possible first and middle combos..especially using some of the underlined ones as a first name since those are my favorite.

I love Jude (life-long Beatles freak that I am), not in love with Grey as a name, but possibly because that's my dog's name. Also Bree..but again, only because my horse is named Brianna (brie for short). Quin is cute, for either a boy or girl. I like that you have some classics on there, Taylor has always been a favorite, also Tess (Tessa) for a little girl.

You could have phrased that nicer. Like, "I don't really care for Lux, it will always be a soap brand to me."

Lux was one of the characters in The Virgin Suicides I believe.

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

Lux is Latin for "light" and was a character in Jeffrey Eugenides's "The Virgin Suicides."
I've heard it as a name before. Never heard of the soap!

I love Autumn, Anna, Delilah, Farrah, Gemma, Isabella, Ja(y)ne, Jack, Morgan, Summer, Willow, and Wes. Not too fond of Lux or Quinn, really, and I'm afraid I'm terrible with middle names. Sorry. :(

[amandavanessa.livejournal.com]

I agree. Not a something I would ever name a human being.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

yea. it also means light in latin.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

heh..yea. oh well. the virgin suicides is one of my favorite movies. that's another reason why i like the name so much.

[krazyhippie.livejournal.com]

Mercedes is actually a pretty popular name for girls.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

personally, no, because i don't like the name. but if i did happen to like it, i would have no problem naming my child that.

[neroli.livejournal.com]

Right. In fact, the Mercedes brand was given its name after the car dealer's daughter:

"In the early 1900s, the Daimler cars built at Untertürkheim (also a city district of Stuttgart) were raced successfully by an Austrian dealer named Emil Jellinek, who entered the cars under the name of his daughter, Mercédès. After suggesting some design modifications, he promised the company a large order on the conditions that he was granted the exclusive Daimler concession for Austria-Hungary, France, Belgium and USA, and that he would sell the cars branded as 'Mercedes.'" (from the Wikipedia entry for Mercedes-Benz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz)

Amelie is a really cute name, although Amalia is my favorite from that name family. Even though Ava is sooo common now, I also love that one and I think Autumn is an adorable middle name. Other names I like from your list:

Corbin, Cora, Bree, Eden, Elle, Fallon, Gavin, Gwen, Jude, Lia, Maeve, and Payton.

I've always hated the name Holden, as I think it sounds like a body part. For example: "My holden hurts." I'm also not fond of Trey.

Were you a "Adventures of Sinbad" watcher?? Cause both the names "Brynn" and "Maeve" were used in that series ;) It was actually the first time I heard those names, when I was a wee little kid...and I fell in love with them then, and I still love them now. They are perhaps two of my most favourite names ever. I will most likely end up having a daughter named Maeve. ;p

[xbrokenwhorex.livejournal.com]

amelie and amalia are pronounced different but.

my best freind jus named her baby amelie and it is said like emily, but with an a sound at the start instead of the e.

am - i - lee.

[colin-chaotic.livejournal.com]

Actually, I am Lee!

(Sorry, I couldn't resist after the 'am -i - lee' bit.)

[colin-chaotic.livejournal.com]

anna/ana - I prefer it with the two 'n's. It just looks better to me.
ava
addison - For a boy, I like it. A girl, more iffy.
cole
chloe
dalton
damien
dawn
finn
gwen
grace
gavin
james
jack
jake
kate
kieran
maddox - As a middle name
morgan
quinn
rylie/reilly - I like it better as just plain Riley. Rylie just seems like one of those yoonik spellings, and Reilly more like a last name. YMMV.
ryan
sage
scout
seamus
sienna
sofia
tyler
taylor


I do like a lot more of the names, but I'm a big fan of naming a kid the full version of the name (Wesley instead of Wes, Elizabeth/Bethany instead of Beth, etc) and using a nickname rather than just naming the child a nickname.

[rockstargrrrlie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I assumed it was just like the movie Amelie, but I meant name family wise. Like essentially Amelia, Amelie, and Amalia are just variants upon Amelia.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

heh, no. i actually first heard brynn because i went to school with a girl named brynn. & i discovered maeve after my friend named his puppy that.

[elf-chic-arwen.livejournal.com]

oh that's neat :D cool.
