Twins, twins and more twins

[bree019.livejournal.com]

I'm watching a show on TLC called "Twins, twins, and more twins" about a family of 15 (with 3 sets of twins among them). The parents are named Kit and Siobhan.

One of their sons (a twin, actually) is named Saoirse, pronounced "Seer-sha". According to Behind The Name, it's feminine and means "freedom" in Irish-Gaelic.

WDYT? I like it.

Oh, and in case you were curious, here are the names of the other children:

Benjamin
Aquila
Diego
RicCardo
Olivia
Keanu
Sean
Schwanhilde
Heidi
Rosi
Christoper
Joseph

hey everyone. :)

what do you guys think of the name Luzanne? i came across the word Lausanne years ago when i was studying for history (it's the name of a city in Switzerland & there's a treaty named after it), & from that i derived the name Luzanne. although i think Lausanne is also a really pretty name. has anyone heard of either names?

also, i really like the names Summer & Rayne, although i reckon the name Summer Rayne is really tacky. XD they both are happy-sounding names though, especially Summer.

and i used to be obsessed with Joey & Rachel from Friends, so i'm really stuck on the names Rachele Jen & Joey Matthew. thoughts? i prefer Rachele with an "e" because Rachel is way too common & i don't like the way Rachael & Rachelle look.

last point, my friend wanted to name her daughter Carlisle; i think it's the name of a font. pretty name, but no one would know how to pronounce it. i think it's "car-lai-ul."

feel free to comment on/give suggestions to any of the names i listed. :D

Today there was a little girl at the store where I work, named Serenity. I know this because her mom kept yelling at her, "Serenity!" It reminded me of that Seinfeld episode...

siblings

Some siblings that I thought were interesting:

Isabella
Elizabeth 
Alexandra

What's funny to me is the names Isabella and Elizabeth are the same name, with Isabella being the Spanish version, I believe.  I wonder if they realize that.  I still think they are both pretty.  Another set of siblings:

Isabella
Olivia
Amelia

Some help for a story

[red-inuzuka.livejournal.com]

Hello~ I thought I would post here, looking for some help, maybe, with baby names. I'm in the middle of a story centered around two brothers and their respective families. It's Damian Charles Kerr, and Josh Aidan Kerr, Jr. Both have one son, Brian Joshua for Aidan and Kiernan with no middle name for Damian. As sort of a family tradition, the children's names with have "an" in there somewhere, first or middle name. I am at a lost for a middle name for Kiernan. It's such an unusual name for me, and I'm still having mixed feelings about how it works with Kerr. I'm not sure of the repeating beginning letters like that. But, if I decide to keep it, any suggestions on a middle name for him? Also, there will probably be a third child in the mix there somewhere, no clue if it will be a boy or a girl. But does anybody have an suggestion for names that have an "an" somewhere in the first or middle name (preferably at the end, like Damian and Aidan) that can go with Kerr? Thank you for any suggestions~

How do your favourite names rank on the 2006 chart? (2005 number in brackets)

Amelia- 82 (84)
Anabelle- 890 (757)
Aurelia- N/A
Esmé- N/A
Evie- N/A
Felicity- 617 (686)
Isla N/A

Juliet 581 (586)
Madeleine- 337 (330)
Ophelia


Elyse- 684 (704)
Mariella N/A
Sophia- 9 (11)

I want to know the UK top 1000, but i can only find the top 100.
Only Amelia (14) Evie (21) Isla (94) Madeleine (73) and Sophia (49) are there.
It's interesting that some of the names that are in the UK top 100 aren't even in the USA 1000.

opinions please

Hey everyone. I have a question related to names. I would like some advice and opionions!
What's going on is this- My fiance's daughter and I have the same first name. Obviously he had her years before he met me. Her and I have different middle names (and different middle initials). His kids are on his health insurance, so in other words sometimes things come in the mail addressed to his daughter, because it's in reference to her health insurance. This raises some questions for when we get married next year. Obviously his daughter and I would have the same name (first and last, different middle). When we first discussed marriage I offered to keep my maiden name to avoid confusion, even though this makes me a little upset, as I am a tad traditional. He did not like this idea at all and he wants me to take his name, as I do. He said he did not care whether his daughter and I had the same name, so I started not caring much. But the more I got to thinking about it the more I wonder. When we are married I will go on his health insurance and all, so there would be two people with the same name....I just wonder if this will cause mix ups and become a hassle. His daughter has some health problems, so I would hate things like test results or medications to get mixed up or whatever, due to us having the same name. I would also hate to keep having to waste money on buying my own insurance plan and keeping everything seperate just because I am afraid of this. Maybe it's nothing to be afraid of? will the middle inital be enough to tell us apart? Maybe someone could offer some insight here? I know some mothers name their daughters after themselves. How big of a problem could this lead to?
The other idea I brought up which he is also fine with is me hyphentating my last name and his last name. I think this makes the most sense and it's what I would feel most comfortable with, I just have one question regarding this. If I hyphenate my last name and his last name, if we had a child, would their name have to be hyphenated too or could I just give the child his last name?
Sorry to have rambled, but these are the questions I need answers and opionions on-
- Would it be rude/disrespectful for me to take his last name and drop mine, therefore having the same name as his daughter (my instinct is yes, he insists no)
-Am I worrying too much about name issues in regards to health care/similar things? is the middle initial enough to differentiate us? am I only imagining things, as I'm sure lots of people in the world have the same name?
-if I hyphenated, would future children between us have to be hyphenated as well (I'm thinking they wouldn't but just making sure)

Thank You very much!

I also wanted to ask but completely forgot- what about the name Sunset? I knew a girl named this and I don't know how I feel about it. It sounds kind of corny to me but I don't hate it either.

Twin names?

[bornto-fly.livejournal.com]

Let's say you have a set of twins (boy/boy; girl/girl; girl/boy; whatever...). Would you still name them your #1 and #2 name, or would you go with something completely different so that they would "match"? First initials, rhyming, whatever?

( I'm not sure... )
