Madrigal

[tigress-oils.livejournal.com]

I'm actually a big fan of words-as-names lately, which is something sort of recent for me, I guess. I've been into this one for a while and thought of it while driving home tonight.

Madrigal.

I wouldn't know where to begin on a middle name, so suggestions are welcome.

And what do you think? If you're not a fan of using words as names, that's fine, but sonically, what do you think? Is it too difficult to say? (I kind of think it is.) Visually, what do you think?

My List

I have a big problem with 'THA' names. TabiTHA, AgaTHA, BerTHA. I simply don't like the sound-at all. (Not trying to offend anyone :), Im sure you are still a lovely person despite the fact I dont like your name!) I also know a couple people who don't like -dyn, -den, -don, -dan sounds in names. ie Kaidan, Landon..

Does anyone else have a automatic dislike of names because of a particular sound?

I did the name game yesterday (but didnt post it), and then just started playing around and found something mildly humorous yet disturbing in a "hmm" kinda way: In the 1900-1910 decade, Tiny was #946 for girls names. My grandma was born in 1908.. and her name was Tiney. Tiny made the top 1000 list 16 times between 1888 and 1920, although it never made it past the 700's. I never ever expected to find her name on a list of 1000 most popular names for ANY time. Did anyone else find a name (family or otherwise) that seemed to blow your mind that it made it in the top 1000 names?

3 Questions

[sayga.livejournal.com]

1. What is your preferred spelling of /Lee/? I always think of Leigh for a girl and Lee for a boy. But I'm sure you could write Li, Lei, Lea, or other possibilities. What seems "normal" to you?

2. How do you feel about nicknames? My husband is a "my name is Daniel, NOT Dan, thankyouverymuch" kind of person. He believes you should name the child what you plan on calling it (if you want to call your kid Tim, name him Tim and not Timothy). I'm on the other side. I wish my name (Sarah) had an obvious nickname, because I think nicknames are friendly and/or intimate. Where do you stand?

3. What do you people DO all day? This is the most active community I've ever been in. ;)

SSA Lists

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

Okay, so I spent some time at the SSA site today (http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/) and I saved all of the popularity pages, etc.

So, if anyone wants these pages and I can save you the work, I would love to give them to you!


This is what I have, 4 separate ZIP files, waiting to be sent. They're all HTML (just the HTML, no messy folders that come with pages when you save them) pages, and show up fine in any browser (well, the two that I have, Firefox and IE). They are viewable when not connected to the internet.

You can check them out at the URL above if you're not familiar with them.


- All of the pages from 1880-2005 with the top 1000 names per year including the percentages involved with each name.

- All of the pages from 1880-2005 with the top 1000 names per year including the number of babies named each name.

- All of the pages from from 1980-2005 with the top 5 names per state per year including the names' ranks and numbers.

- All of the pages from 1880s to the 2000s with the top 1000 names for that decade including the names' ranks, percentages and numbers.


Send me an email at sarahrose AT livejournal DOT com (put something in the subject line that lets me know it's you, lol) or comment here with your email address and tell me which you want, or if you want them all, and I'll send them along.


:)

Is it wrong that I like the name Mahayana??  I heard it in one of my Asian religion classes and I instantly fell in love with it.  I just may be crazy enough to one day use it.

What are your thoughts on Neleh and Nevaeh? They're Helen and Heaven backwards.
