well, hello. i saw the community on lj spotlight, and just had to join. i have an odd obsession with baby names and what people name their babies. i'm horrible at introductions.

( intro; it's short. )

So what do you think....

[the-archangel.livejournal.com]

What do you think of the name Edge? Yes, it is rather "new and modern" and very odd to name a child that. I've met children named Edge, though, believe it or not? I don't think I'd do it, but what's everyone's opinion of it?

And one name that's odd and I really hope to use someday is Jericho. I adore that name! Never mind the biblical city and it's famous walls, or the TV show, or the vampire hunter in that video game, or that hunky former pro-wrestler turned rock star... I've just always liked the name Jericho. And Jerry would be a likely nickname, which isn't bad at all. What do you all think of Jericho, and what the heck would be a good middle name with it?

Jericho Edge?! LOL!! No no no! Just kidding. ^^; That would be especially awful since our last name is Usher. Jericho Edge Usher. Sounds effin ridiculous. Jericho Usher is cool... but again, middle name?

If this has been done, tell me and I'll delete it!

Why did your parents chose your name? If you are a parent, why did you choose your child(ren)'s name(s)?

I was named after Anastasia Romanov because my mom is a huge history dork and is fascinated by the Romanovs. My middle name is Elizabeth because she wanted to stick to European royalty.

Beatrice

[so-there.livejournal.com]

yesterday an elderly friend of my mom's was ooh-ing over my baby, then declared that she thinks someone (anyone, I guess) should name their baby Beatrice (her name). I told her it's possible, since her generation's names are coming back for the next generation's babies. she replied "oh good! does that mean we're done with Tiffany and Madison?" (both names I absolutely hate, btw) I said Tiffany no one's used in ages, but Madison unfortunately is still popular for current use...

I'd definitely choose Beatrice over the other two...

A-Z

[seksimaggie.livejournal.com]

So someone posted this challenge-ey type thing, and I had time to kill, so here are my favorite names, boys and girls, for letters A-Z. I didn't use anything I've already mentioned in other posts, just to mix it up, so some are like second favorite for that letter, but whatever haha. Anyway, if I were about to have a baby, and there was some bizarre naming tradition in my "baby daddy"'s family that insisted I use a certain letter, and there was some reason I couldn't use any of my top ten names, either, this is what I would pick.

What do you think of Lux as a nickname for Lucy? They're both ultimately derived from the same word- Latin lux "light".

Martha?

[hotchpot.livejournal.com]

Lately I have been really enamored of the name Martha. It's one of the "old fashioned" names.

According to behind the name, its Hebrew for "lady" or "mistress of the house." It was most popular in the 1890s. Nicknames include "Mattie" and "Maddy."

WDYT?

Suns guard Raja Bell and his wife gave birth to a little boy a few days ago. They named him Dia. WDYT?

I like it because it means something in an African language and it's different. I also like it because I'm a Suns fangirl. hehe.

I went for a walk in a cemetery near my grandparents house today, and one stone was for someone named Bacon. Yes, it was def. a first name, and I'm assuming it was for a male?

So... would you ever name your child Bacon?

We are pregnant with our second child and are completely stuck when it comes to names. I like using surnames as first names for boys. Any good suggestions?

We have a son, Cannon, already. We also like Grayson.


And for girls, we have nothing. I want a feminine name, and my husband wants a strong name.

"Noddy" is also the common nickname for someone named "Nigel."

Uhm... Noddy? Seriously?

Old naming practices in the South

[hotchpot.livejournal.com]

I'm researching my genealogy and have been corresponding with a family member who sent me the following information. Apparently, in the 1700-early 1900s in the Southern United states, there was a standard naming system. It went like this:

First son: named after his paternal grandfather.
Second son: named after his maternal grandfather, often sticking on the mother's maiden name as a middle name.
Third son: named after the father's oldest brother
Fourth son: named after the father.

First daughter: named after the mother
Second daughter: named after her maternal grandmother
Third daughter: named after her paternal grandmother.

So, here's a fun thing: according to this guide, what would your children be named?

My names:

First son: Stephen John Verdier
Second son: Daniel Froehlich Verdier
Third Son: My husband has no brothers!
Fourth Son: James Martin Verdier

First daughter: Catherine Verdier
Second daughter: Rosemary Verdier
Third daughter: Donna Verdier

I like them all except Donna!

Presidential Names

[hotchpot.livejournal.com]

Here are the names of the sons of the Presidents of the United States.  Some names are repeated more than the once that they show up on the poll. I left off last names,  so that  your particular like or dislike of a President, or your political affiliation, wouldn't sway your vote! There's a lot of names.



I'll do girls names in a separate post. Stay tuned! [Poll #979857][Poll #979857]

What do you think?

[silent-doll.livejournal.com]

We are expecting a little girl in 2 months time, and have therefore been discussing names in like forever! We thought it was a boy and had chosen the name Noah...BUT...
Now we are down to:

India
Lea
Kamille
Neela

Which of the names do you prefer?:) Personally I prefer India!

(I'd just like to know what people think of the names)...:)

Sorry for all the posting, but I love when this community is hopping and want to do my part. It it's too obnox, I'll stop.

My question is this: What do you think of the name Persis? It's the name of a (female) character in Anne's House of Dreams by LM Montgomery, and I've always been drawn to it even though I don't think I will ever use it.

Persis is a greek name meaning "Persian woman." This is the name of a woman mentioned in St. Paul's epistle to the Romans in the New Testament. It has never been in the top 1000.

I was just wondering what you guys think of the names Lucas and Delilah. And what about Tempest?

These aren't my favourite names- just ones I would really appreciate feedback on.

Some questions...

[moosforyous.livejournal.com]

I have a quick question...or two I'm not sure if this has been posted about before, so I'm sorry if it has been. But what do you all think about giving a child a first name and a middle name, but preferring the child to be called by their middle name? I have met several people in the past few weeks, including a girl named "Tochi Crystal" who is called "Crystal," and "Salvatore Tad," who is referred to as "Tad". What do you think of this?

Also, what do you think about naming a child specifically so you can call them by a specific nickname? For example, my friend is one of three, and her parents picked out each child's nickname first, and then matched the nickname with a first name. For example, they decided on the nicknames "Mandy, Tori, and Erick" before they decided on the first names, and now they only want their kids to be called by their nicknames. Personally, I find this to be strange, if you want your child to be referred to by a specific name, why don't you make it their first name? But I wanted to see what you all think! Maybe you have done the same thing, and can give me some insight into this practice...

Thanks!
