babynamesHeya all....
Wondering what you think of these names. A bit of background first:
I've always considered names to be a reasonably fluid thing, so the SO and I are yet to discuss anything about surnames. It'd be either 3 syllable starting with 'C' (hard) or one syllable starting with 'G' (also hard) or 2 syllable starting with 'R' - for what it's worth. He's a Dutchie/English extract, I'm a French/English extract, and we were tossing up naming possibilities using things such as our common ancestry, favourite poets and writers, things we like, etc etc.
Here's the list :)
FEMALE:
Sunshine Ardeer
Ginifer Albion
Laverton Aircraft
Chelsea Bonbeach
Rosanna Macleod
MALE:
Preston Bell
Clayton Westall
Patterson Bentleigh
Willison Hartwell
Gowrie Fawkner
Croxton Northcote
** I know they're a bit odd at first. But here should be a comment where I've elaborated a bit more on the meaning and personal reasons behind them.

Date: 2007-11-01 08:54 pm (UTC)Sunshine Ardeer - I knid of like this. Sunny is a nice nn.
Ginifer Albion - Ginifer will have her name misspelled for life.
Laverton Aircraft - How did you decide that Aircraft was feminine?
Chelsea Bonbeach - I like Chelsea, but -sea and -beach is odd.
Rosanna Macleod - This name, I love.
MALE:
Preston Bell - Nice, I like Preston Currer better.
Clayton Westall - Also nice.
Patterson Bentleigh - You lost me here.
Willison Hartwell - And here.
Gowrie Fawkner - This sounds like a Star Trek character. Fawker by itself is not too bad.
Croxton Northcote - Sounds like "Cock-ton". Big no.
I feel a bit differnetly than the posters above, you can name your child whatever you want. Often very odd names don't seem so odd after a little while - if you are an adult. I worry about two things with some of these names. Kids teasing, and ability to get a job. Imagine some of these names on a resume or application for med school. Rosanna MacLeod and Clayton Westall are both really nice names. Some of the others you might want to consider one of your faves and one more standard name. You use the name you like and your child will have a more professional option as an adult, if they choose.
