i'm finding out that i really like letter nicknames. i don't know how else to explain it, haha. you know, like LC (yes, i like laguna beach okay :P), KJ, CJ, MJ, etc. but it's really hard to try and find first name/middle names that go well together AND can be abbreviated. got any?

also, i'm thinking they don't have to fit in exactly. i have a friend named drisana sophie and she goes by DJ.

If I remember correctly someone posted not too long ago about meeting a pair of twins named Melinda and Melissa. I now have proof that those names are a little too similar.

My name is Melinda and I just happened to glance at an appointment card where they listed my name as Melissa. Poor little girls.

On a sidenote, does anyone else with a fairly unique name have this problem? It doesn't happen too much, but I've also had instances of being called Melanie (by a teacher no less).

I had a dream that I had a baby and his name was John Otis.  What do you think of it?

I honestly have no idea where in my subconcious that name came from.  I hate both names and find John absolutely boring.  Otis reminds me of Milo and Otis.

I need ideas on surnames used as first names for boys.

We have Grayson and Gage on the list so far.

My names

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

I've posted before, but this is my up-to-date list!
My name's Kate, and my boyfriends name is Gary.
We can't agree on many names, but at the moment we don't need to!

These are my favourites though:
Girls
Imogen Elizabeth - Gary hates the name Imogen so it won't used even though it's my favourite, and Elizabeth is a family name.
Sara Elizabeth - A name we both like! *Shock*
Alex Daire - I don't like Alex on a boy, and I don't like Alexandra or any version of! Daire I found on here and like it.
Alanna Rose - Just pretty! Alanna is my favourite character out of a book :)
Rosalind/Rosalie - very recent favourite names! I think they're so pretty, but I'm not sure if I'd ever use them.

Boys
Finn - All time favourite. Gary hates it!
Jack - Another name we both like, even if it is really popular!
Dylan - Ditto Finn :(
Kester - I really likr this, like Christopher, but less popular. At least I've never met a Kester!
Julian - Love love love. Gary says its a 'gay mans' name.
Ben - I WILL use this name. Its always been a favourite ever since I was little!
Nathan/Nathanial/Nathaniel - I'm leaning more towards Nathan than the longer versions. He'd be called Nate anyway!
Christian - I like this name, don't know if I'd ever use it though
Edward - Just so long he was NEVER called Ted...
Leander - I know without even suggesting it Gary will hate it, but I like it!
Rory - Again, don't know if I'd use it, but I like it!
Tristan - This appeals to King Arthur fan in me, but I don't think I'd ever actually use it!

I haven't matched up any middle names for boys, so any sugestions for them or the girls are welcome!

Also how exactly do you pronounce Alanna? Is it Alan-a [kind of], or with a longer A-laarn-na sound? I'm rubbish at this sounding out words!

Thoughts, comments?

What do you guys think about the name Giselle?

 I have always thought that it was just ok....but lately I have been thinking that it is a rather pretty name.

Thanks!

Oh and as always...I'm stumped on a middle name. So if one pops into your head...let me know

Personally, no real suprises in boy names (apart from Ryan... thought it would be lower, even though it is one of my favourites. Girls - Mia and Sienna are a little odd... apparantly there were 332 Sienna's born in 2006!)

Peddair

[krosp.livejournal.com]

On Temptation at the moment (a game show here in aus) there is a contestant called Peddair. The host of the show has been pronouncing it as pay-dar.

I have never seen this name before, and I don't see why it is pronounced that way either... kind of unusual. What do you think?

Kicked up my heels tonight and watched The Little Mermaid and thought, Ariel. That's a neat name I never really considered.

What do you guys think of it, and Ariel or Arielle?
How would you pronounce it? AH-ree-el, AR-ee-el... etc.?
