Book names!

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

I just finished Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper. Book lovers, you should all read it. It's incredible.

Sara Fitzgerald (mom)
Brian Fitzgerald (dad)
Jesse Fitzgerald(son)
Kate Fitzgerald (sick daughter)
Andromeda, Anna for short Fitzgerald (daughter)
Cambell Alexander (lawyer)
Julia (guardian ad litum)


What do you think? The only name in there that "fits" the story is Anna's full name, Andromeda, because her father LOVES the stars.

Not pregnant, but like names!

I like welsh names, in particular Eluned (El-een-id) and Bethan, paired with English/ more mainstream middle names, so what do people think of:
Eluned Jane
Eluned Joanne
Eluned Karen
Eluned Anne

Bethan Rose
Bethan Mae
Bethan Sarah
Bethan Louise
Bethan Kate

Any other suggestions?

Someone posted about Months of the Year names like June and April, so I thought I'd follow up and ask:

What gemstone names do you all like?

List of some traditional "gemstone" names:

Ruby
Opal
Pearl
Jade
Sapphira (Sapphire)
Esmeralda (Emerald)
Amethyst
Coral


I can't think of any more right now but I know there must be. I really like Ruby and Opal and that's about it.

My current list

Ok so I was in class today and we started a new term. The teacher took attendance and there were some odd names and names that i was confused when they said here and were a different gender than i thought they would be.

The weird name was xanthe

Gender confusion
Tiffani- was a male
Stacie- was a male

I was so confused and thought they must have been teased so much growing up

I like the name Noah, but I can't think of a middle name. I would like a name that is traditionally a boy's name. What would you put with Noah?

Just thought I'd share some of these with you/ask what you thought of them...our church is running a daycamp this week, and I came across some really odd names/spellings while I was checking people in.

Khristian (is usally pronounced more like chris-chen than chris-tian)
Wil (I've never seen it spelled with one L? And that's his full name, it isn't shortened.)
Brantley (I've seen it before, but it still strikes me as odd)
Madisen
Meaghan
Quinten
Tali
Sage
Tallyn (pronounced like talon with an i)

There are also 5 Devons...2 spell it Devan, the others are spelled Devin, Deven, and Devon (Devon is the only guy). We also have a Hana and a Hannah. And Devon's brothers are named Drake and Dwight, it sounds like they were stretching for D names or something :/

Also- how would you pronounce Nicola? The only one I've ever known pronounced it nih-coh-luh or nih-cuh-luh, depending on who was talking to her...but a few days ago I heard someone pronounce it nih-cole-uh, was wondering what the most common is. I don't know if that made any sense, I'm horrible at spelling things phonetically.
