A sort of questionnaire....

[luxury-bus.livejournal.com]

What are your favorite names -- boy and girl -- from the following nationalities?

Greek
German
Hebrew
French
Russian
Welsh

Again, I'm on bed rest with the trips, and am needing some excitement. We're still looking for middle names (first names are going to be Eleanor, Amelia, and Henry), and the above six nationalites are favorites for names among the hubby and I. We like to have a sort of "mixing pot" when he comes home from work everyday, where we discuss different options, and I'd like to have some fresh ideas to throw out for tomorrow's.  =]

For Greek, the only one I know is Christine, which isn't that pronounced like Christina in Greek?
& then for French, Jeanne-Marie..that's the only name I know is French.

Noelle is french, not Noella.

[mizsfrankie.livejournal.com]

Considering I live in a city that is populated by 70% of English/French speakers and is connected to friend speaking districts such as Hull and Gatineau, and also connect to the french speaking province of Quebec, try tell that to half the population of French women and girls born in the winter months. Noella, Norelle, Noel, Noelle .. very popular.very french.

[lauren5678.livejournal.com]

Ah, see my husband's family is Italian and I was under the impression that Noella was Italian.

I'm still thinking over the middle names, but I had to say, I love their first names! My sister is Amelia Margaret, which I adore. Eleanor and Henry are high on my favorites list, too.

I don't have the nationalities ready, but here's some ideas from me:

Amelia Margaret
Amelia Daphne
Amelia Laurel

Eleanor Jane
Eleanor Naomi
Eleanor Willow

Henry Thomas
Henry Simon
Henry Oliver
