Can I be a party-pooper for a moment and try to head off the oncoming onslaught of "if I had sextuplets" posts? Could we post them all in one thread instead of having one gazillion posts a day? I know, I'm sorry, I'm an old fart who is too lazy to scroll, but it really is so much easier to find all the discussions in the comm. if we don't have twenty posts a day on how you would name your sextuplets. Here, I know! Let's put them all in this thread right here!

My sextuplets would be:

Una Margaret
Gwendolen Lucine
Elise Genevieve

Rowan Sebastian
Jasper Anselm
Big Partypooper August Lawrence


:D

What are names in other languages that are the equivalent of James?  I want to give my [future] kids names honoring people that have shaped my life,--James is my brother's middle name--but I don't like common names.

Colin or Collin

[ex-yzzzma459.livejournal.com]

What's the traditional spelling for Colin/Collin?
I have a pet peeve for names with nontraditional spellings so I'd like to know which one of the two came first.

-----------------------------------------------------------
I could only come up with enough names for quintuplets:
Vera
Olivia

Colin
Martin
Michael

and we already have a son named George.

surprised no one has mentioned this...

he's on the phone with his sister and it does one of those subtitles where it tells you who he's talking to.
her name is GARLAND.

Just curious on your opinions on Fallon for a girl's name. I have a positive connotation attached to this name I think because I used to be friends with a Fallon. That aside, I like it because it is not super common, and just because of the way it sounds.

Thoughts on...

Tennessee Elizabeth

I know its long, i know its a state - but one of my guy friends and i were talking about interesting names and we came up with Tennessee.

Do you think its interesting, weird, ugly pretty or something else.

Middle names

[smileygoldfish.livejournal.com]

june15 suggested I make an offical inquiry, so here goes:
I think I have decided on the potential names for my unborn child even though I have at least 7 more months to wait. But now I need ideas for middle names.

For a boy: Jared

For a girl: Kira (pronouced KEER uh)

Also, I don't want to spell Jared any other way, but could have the alternate spellings for Kira? I'm not stuck on that way, its just the first one I heard of.

( Other names I like that might work and names that WONT work )

I just wondering what you guys thought about my sibling set. Remember that we weren't born here so some of us have names that sound really funky in english.

Monica Elyse
Irene Mariam
Eduardo Emiro (this name has been running in my family for almost a century now)
Edgar Osmar Jr.

The "Anna" syndrome

[adamant-turtle.livejournal.com]

At the local K-8 school where I volunteer, I've noticed quite a few little girls with classic names + "anna."

Case in point: I know offhand of a "Victorianna," "Emilianna," and a "Julianna."

I think the names are pretty and all...but esp. in the case of "Victorianna," that's taking an already-long name and making it even longer...

IMO, Victoria, Emily/Emilia and Julie/Julia are nice, classic names just the way they are; but I guess it's another case of everyone wanting to be yoonique...

(The worst part? This is a largely Polish population, so the majority of the kids already have crazy-long last names...you'd think the parents could have a little mercy with the first names...)

Do you know any other name besides Reuben, Benjamin and Benedict that can have Ben as a nickname?
Any language is fine. Thank you!

(Also, do you pronounce Reuben ROO-ben or REH-oo-ben? And is Ben as common as I've read? )
