so how about the name Lievin, pronounced lee-ay-vin, for a boy? I kinda like it--it's got a similar sound to Levi but without being as common as I think Levi is starting to get. I'm not sure what the nationality is, but it's the name of a priest I know from the congo. I wonder if it translates to anything in english. I should ask him, but he's back in the congo now.

I've been lurking for a while but I'm trying to procrastinate so I thought I'd post.

When I hav a child I plan on naming it either Anne or John. Maybe William. If I had another girl she'd be Elizabeth.

I tell people this and they look at me like I'm crazy and then tell me the kid will hate me for giving it such a "horrible" name.

What gives? If I had to chose between being Rylee Sestina or Anne, I think I'd thank my mother every day for the latter.

Hi all,

What do you think of the following? Feel free to be harsh.

for a girl:

Eleanor Grace (first and middle names of my grandmother)
Eleanor Rose (first names of mine and my partner's grandmothers)
Nora Marie
Violet
Constance
Ada
Natalie
Agatha
Felicity
Charlotte
Phoebe


for a boy:

Micah
Ezekiel
Nathaniel
Gideon
Jude
David
Isaac
Reuben
Ari
Byron

I don't want something that will be too common (I was alway sick of having to know Jennifer A., B., C. and Chris X., Y., and Z. in school) but I also want something that people can recognize.

Also, help with middle names on any of these? I'm tempted to throw in something kinda bizarre like "Lyric" or "Newton" or even "Reason" or "Darwin", but I'd be just as happy to put in a second real name that went well.
