From our last poll....
William & Samantha = Favorites
Fox & John & Teena = Not favorites
( Mysteries )
Hey if anyone has any suggustions of a TV show, band line up, movie cast, etc to include at some point please feel free to comment and there is a good chance I'll do it. Assuming I can fnd a decent & correct list of names if I am unfimiliar with it. But hey the great web knows all!
I think it's unfair I am doing things I like when there are thousands of possibilities. :-)

A list of names!
Aug. 29th, 2006 10:11 amHey, all. I've been compiling names over the past couple weeks, merely because I'm obsessed with names. I'm not pregnant or looking to be, lol. That's about ten years into the future. I just wanted to know what you all think about the following names. I've provided some pronunciation keys for the ones that are a bit difficult to pronounce on their own. I'd like it if you could break the names into different lists based on your preference.
I realize some are bit weird. If you think certain ones are too weird, let me know. A lot I got out of fantasy novels and classic literature, so they will be a bit odd to us.
( The list... )
Thanks!

A miserable name?
Aug. 29th, 2006 11:02 amMy husband and I have been thinking about the girl's name Cosette (we are going to TTC in the winter). Any good MN to go with it?
I like literary first names, and I really liked Candide, until I found out Candida was the latin name for a yeast infection...
eta: what do you think of the name Cosette itself?

Aug. 29th, 2006 12:21 pmI started a new job yesterday and one of my co-workers has two kids, a boy named Dakota (nn Koty) and a girl named Iliana. I'm not sure how I feel about Dakota. It's cute but when he gets older I don't know... And his mother says people always misspell his name CODY (I wonder why.... lol).
BUT... I do like Iliana. In fact lately I think I have pretty much fallen in love with the name Eliana, which is quite close. But I like the E spelling and pronunciation better.
What do you all think?

Aug. 29th, 2006 03:56 pmWhat's a name that you LOVE that everybody else seems to hate, and why do you love it?
Mine is Maude (surprise!). I posted my list a few months back with that on it and all I got was "Ewww! So old!" I love it and will always love it for threee reasons:
1. It is the name of a very intelligent, optimistic, beautiful character in my favorite movie (Harold and Maude) and I would love to name my daughter for her and ba able to share the movie with her and say, "She is what you are to me. I want you to have a just as beautiful, meaning life as she does." Or something equally corny.
2. It's also the name of an awesome vintage shop in my city. They sell local artist's jewlery and fashions and host events all the time to benefit charities that I believe in (the women's shelter, pro-choice campaigns, etc). The owners also run a local record label and sign & sell a bunch of local bands. It's just a really neat place that is trying really hard to make the world a better place and give people chances they usually wouldn't get.
3. I just think it's pretty. HAHA. I love the look of all the letters together. It's also not popular/trendy in the least, and as someone with a popular name, I would love for my daughter to always be Maude...not Maude K. or Maude T. or whatever everywhere she goes.

Actualy voting is too close so I will actually announce the "winners" and "losers" in tomorrows poll along with the results of this one. I hope no one is too disapointed! :-) Plus I am posting this an hour or so earlier than my others. But such is life!
Today something a tad different. An ulimate poll of our winners & losers from the last week. :-) Than I will start using the ideas/suggustions you guys provided.
Like always pick the one you like the best from each group (or the one that you somewhat tolerate lol)
( A show down )
