hi,

i love this one Romanian name (i am Romanian)...

Mircea.

here's the problem.. although i like the way it's spelled, it's pronounced 'Meer-cha,' which is the part of the name i value more.

so i'm curious for suggestions on how to i suppose 'Anglicise' the spelling of the name to reflect the pronunciation. because as it would look like now, he'd be called 'Mercy-a' for the rest of his life (if i were to name a child this). i tried a little, but they all looked too bizarre and made-up, too 'yunikk' if you know what i mean. ;)

anyway, thanks!

What do you think of Cannon/Canon?

We agreed that the middle names will be James Allan (just couldn't get him to drop the Allan but at least I got my grandfather's name in there). So now, I am stuck deciding if I really like Cannon or not.

I am looking for reasons on not liking/liking the name instead of just saying "don't like it/like it".

Top 100 names for 2005 in the UK

I found the top 100 boy and girls names for 2005 for the UK:
girls -

boys-
http://www.statistics.gov.uk/specials/babiesnames_boys.asp

I think that any name in the top thirty that I liked, I would reconsider for a slightly less popular name. Classes in Primary school (4-11years) tend to have around thirty children in. A lot more of my boys names are in the top 100, and seven of then are in the top thirty - including my two current favourites, Max and Dylan. Only four of my girls names are in the top thirty, and none of them are my current favourites.

But it doesn't really matter because I won't be having children for about ten years, by which time the top 100 will probably be mostly changed!

Names on my list in the top 100 (and the number they are ranked):
Joshua (2)
Oliver (5)
Ethan (17)
Alexander (20)
Jacob (21)
Dylan (24)
Max (29)
Nathan (35)
Owen (36)
Isaac (53)
Elliott (82)

Amelia (14)
Lily (16) /Lilly (74)
Holly (23) /Hollie (91)
Caitlin (27)
Jasmine (41)
Lydia (81)
Skye (90) - this one REALLY suprised me!

I'm sick and bored, so I figured I'd post my current favorite girls names and see what people think of them.

Noemie: This is my absolute favorite girls name right now. I've never met anyone with this name, but I see it mentioned a lot, and I'm so worried it'll become really popular before I have a little girl.

Midori: This is the name of a great character in one of my favorite books. I love the name, but I'm worried the fact that the liquor connatations will be too much. I don't want people to think I named my little girl after booze!

Another plus to it is that I love a lot of color names, (Violet, Rose) but my child will have a color last name (Gray), so I feel like it'd come off as weird. Midori means green, so I feel like it's a sneaky way of using a color name without it sounding too goofy.

Odette: I love this name, and I love Swan Lake. I don't know if I like the nickname "Odie", though.

Lacey: I think this name is so cute. I've known one little Lacey, and the name was so adorable on her.

Gemma: Not sure why I like this one, but I'm very fond of it.


My SO is dead set on naming our son Malakai Moriarty. The Moriarty bit is kind of crazy, but I like the name Malakai/Malachi, and it'd certainly have a powerful effect when you pulled out the full name on the kid.
