Imagine you have 10 children. Use the following descriptors to name your brood, and comment if you actually like/dislike the names you have used.

1. use year of birth to determine - male in odd years, female in even years
first name after your grandparents or parents, second name after a place (town, state, country, etc)

2. right handed = male, left = female
first name must end in -son, second name longer than 7 letters

3. & 4. toss a coin twice, heads = m, tails = female
first names after musicians, second names something environmental

5. female
top girls name

6. male
top boys name

7. your choice male/female
first name after a television character, second after a literary character

8. wearing a watch = male, not wearing a watch = female
first name something common, second name also something common

9. how many letters in your name? odd=male, even = female
first name something alternative/odd but you like, second name consisting of less than 4 letters

10. sex of sibling closest in age to you (if only child, use cousin or other family member... if all else fails, use a pet!)
same initials as you, eg if your name is Sarah Lee (lol... icecream!) number nine must have the initials S. L.

3. Kate Silvia (Silvia means 'forest')
4. David Forest
5. Norah Jane
6. Colin Edward
7. Peter Calvin
8. Elizabeth Autumn
9. India Eve
10. Adela Selene

Yeah, so Alison is my name, but it's basically the only name ending in 'son' that I like. I may be biased. :P

The ones I would actually use: Norah Jane, Colin Edward, Elizabeth Autumn. Peter Calvin and Adela Selene aren't bad either, but I'm not sure if I would use them. Peter is after Peter Petrelli from Heroes. I love him. It's a sickness. XD

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

Haha, yes, it is Peter Petrelli. And I'm glad that we share the same Peter, because Peter is basically awesome...

[politicking.livejournal.com]

as for my opinions on them...

1- not bad.
2- not bad.
3- like i said, a name i once had on a list of favorites! (when i was like 15, but still)
4- not my style, but i don't mind.
7- lol no
8- no
9- no
10- not half bad

Um, I am going to go with Bowie Nimbus as the best name ever.

I also like Niles Henry and Mahalia Violet, but I don't think I'd ever use them...

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

Amen to that! In the first episode when the Irish guys were like, "Where's the iPods?" I was like, "Hot damn, who cares?!"

Re: Fun!

[babyjess8.livejournal.com]

I really like Mahalia Violet and Wheatherby Ty, but wouldn't use either... they just sound nice. I imagine a Wheatherby Ty as a handsome, mysterious but sweet character in a book.

PS Bowie Nimbus - very awesome name!

[babyjess8.livejournal.com]

Mine are all Hebrew. Are we surprised? :-p I had to go to some lengths to find names that fit these requirements....

1.(f) Ruth Devira
(Devir is a biblical place-name)
2.(m) Chaltson Yerachmiel
(Well, according to hebrewbabynames.com, Chaltson comes from a verb meaning "to prepare for war." I'd never heard it before.)
3.(m) Yitzchak Tal
(Yitzchak Perlman the violinist; Tal is Hebrew for dew.)
4.(f) Naomi Aviva
(Naomi Shemer--best songwriter ever. Aviva is Hebrew for spring.)
5.(f) Chaya Sara
6.(m) Akiva Moshe
7.(f) Batsheva Tamar
(I don't actually watch TV. These are both from books.)
8.(m) Avraham Dovid
9. (f) Temima Ora
10. (f) Chana Batya

As for whether or not I like them...I'd have no qualms using 5-10; 1 is odd but growing on me; and I really can't see myself ever using 2-4.

And I am SO freaking bored, so thanks :D

1. (1984= girl!) Hayley Skye I don't know where this came from but I like it
2. (ambidextrous but I just went with boy) Callum Diego I liked it when I was 11, and kind of like Callum now. Diego makes me hum the theme song to "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?
3. (tails) Grayer Thomas Like it, wouldn't use it but like it
4. (heads) Emma Star Dislike it, don't even know how it rolled off the finger tips
5. (girl) Natalia Eve LOVE LOVE LOVE
6. (boy) Jacob James Love, yet my fiance hates alliteration and this kid would be JJJ
7. Lily Jane How I Met Your Mother and Pride and Prejudice, chosen cause those are the two things I have been mostly obsessed with as of late. Like it, but I think I might have stolen it from somewhere.
8. (female) Hannah Grace I like it, but I think it a little too plain, you know?
9. (male) Bennoni Seth I happen to love both names, but the first I wouldn't use as it means 'The son of my sorrows' and the second my DF doesn't love.
10. (male and EM) Ezra Micah Dislike Ezra (though what could be better ;)) but I love Micah. I have a friend whose son is close to that though and I doubt I would infringe on it

[cinderlily.livejournal.com]

After taking a Woman in Judaism course a few years ago I fell in love with the name Naomi, but I don't know if I would ever use it. I love all of your names though, as we have been trying our best to incorporate Hebrew into our names.

What do you think of the name Tamir for a boy vs Tamar for a girl?
