I'm not having children anytime soon, but I like names (obviously), so I've got a few "picked out." My friends and I were just discussing this the other day, and some of them didn't like my combos (they thought they were a little boring). But I don't like trendy names, I'm more for classical name. Anyway, here's what I've got:

Girls
Katherine Grace (nn Kate)
Cecelia Margaret (nn Celia)
Virginia Anne
Meredith Kathleen

I also like the names Caroline, Johanna and Raelyn, but I don't know that I'd use them.

Boys
Joshua Carrington (nn Josh) -- I love both names, but I'm not sure if they really go together.
William Henry (nn Will)
Ashton Matthew
Patrick James (nn Pat)
Julian Alexander

I like the idea of using the name Christian with the nn Ian rather than Chris, but I don't know that I'd actually do that.

Opinions? Thanks. :-)

The name game;
Unique baby names are the power accessory of the newly born rich and famous

By Suelain Moy

There's a new pout in Angelina Jolie's household -- and it's not Brad Pitt's. Jolie welcomed an adopted Ethiopian daughter named Zahara Marley Jolie. The name evokes romance, desert sands and reggae and starts with the exotic letter Z. For the well-heeled and the well-known, creating a splashy and inventive baby name is not just a birthright but a tradition. Witness the recent crop of baby names to adorn celebrity offspring: Pirate (Korn frontman Jonathan Davis' son), Moxie Crimefighter (the daughter of Penn and Teller magician Penn Jillette) and Lola (Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards' newborn). They're in good company: Chris Rock, Madonna, Carnie Wilson and Jennie Garth also call their little girls Lola, whether it's on the birth certificate or not (in Madonna's case, Lola is a nickname for Lourdes). Even veteran Live 8 musician-activist Bob Geldof has a full house, flowering with daughters Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches Honeyblossom and Pixie, and their half-sister Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily.

Note to Britney Spears and Kevin Federline: There's a method to the madness, and plenty of room to grow. Just check out the playful and friendly categories below.
