What I like...

I have to admit I have been lurking and commenting here for a while now, but I haven't posted yet!

So, even though I am very much single and nowhere near having children yet (although I'd like to be) I thought I'd post what I want to name my childen, when they eventually make their way into the world.

[first daughter] Imogen Frances - Imogen is a name I have liked for a long time, and isn't too common, yet not too 'strange' either. Immy as a nickname. Frances is a family traditional middle name - the older girl for the last 5 generations of my mums family has it as her middle name (Cyndi Frances [me], Cleo (Elisabeth) Frances [Mum], Yvonne Frances [Nana], Mary Frances [Great Nana], and Mary's mum was also a Frances), and even though I don't love the name, I'll carry it on...

[first son] Mark Ezra - I want to name my first son after my Dad, Mark. I like it, a nice strong masculine name, meaning 'warlike'. Marky and Ez will be nicknames, Marky more predomanantly. I also have a close friend called Mark. Ezra is a biblical name that I really like.

[subsequent son] Zachary Makon - I need a Zac. lol. And if I end up having like, 3 girls, and then a boy, it's likely I'll call my first son Zachary-Mark Ezra, so that I can get the name Zachary in there. Other boys names I like include Riley and Makon (kinda pronounced [makin']), so these would be contenders for a middle name.

[subsequent daughter] - I have quite a few girls names I like. Paige and Caydence would be high on the list. So yeah. Paige Caydence.


Imogen Frances
Paige Caydence
Mark Ezra
Zachary Makon
Zachary Riley - just realised why it sounds weird - the two -y sounds don't sound at all good together!
Zachary-Mark Ezra

What do you think? Any suggestions on middle names that would go nicely with Mark or Zachary?

Per an agreement, if I have a boy the middle name will be James, but I plan on ignoring the firt name, and calling the baby Jay. Do you think its essential to then put a Y in James? Jaymes? or is that stupid?
Hah, any suggestions? Do you think it matters if there is a Y in the name, if its going to be in the nickname? Im not sure Jay is a real common nickname for James.
Thanks !!
