Do you think it's weird to re-name a miscarried baby? She was going to be named Maylie Noelle but now I'm starting to hate the name Maylie because of all the weird misspellings... (I hate double e endings)

On her memorial should I completely rename her or should I just put Noelle or not change it at all?

edit She wasn't term so she never had an official name I gave her a name as part of my closure.

just for fun...

I only know a few of the kids' middle names because they were born since I have worked there.

Gems as names?

[isoldereverie.livejournal.com]

What do you guys think about using gems as names? Ruby, Pearl, and Opal have been around for ages. Jade and Amber are newer ones. Recently I have seen several girls named Diamond and a sweet lady came in to the store last night with the name Beryl (another word for emerald.) I kind of like Garnet as a name. All the ones I can think of seem to work for girls only. Are there any gem inspired names that might sound good for a boy? 

Birthstones in order: Garnet, Amethyst, Aquamarine, Diamond, Emerald, Pearl, Ruby, Peridot, Sapphire, Opal, Topaz, Zircon. Most peopleknow these. Some other gems/minerals: Onyx, Citrine, Cobalt, Galena, Lorimar, Schorl. Which are your favorites?

So I am going to list my top names of the moment.
The problem...I don't know if they work for a sibset. Like I love the name Peyton (and yes I know some ppl here probably don't like it an say its for a boy but its been a guily please of mine for years for a girl lol) but I dont know if Adriana and Peyton would work as sisters.

So basically...what do you think of these names separate...and as siblings.

Girls:
Adriana
Isobel
Jordana
Leah
Natalie
Peyton

Boys:
David
Eamon
Lucas (or just Luke. Idk yet)
Mason
Matthew (nn Matt)
Max
Oliver
Sean


thanks. i know i prob post too much but im name obsessed lol

Mutually exclusive names

[pythianlegume7.livejournal.com]

Do you love any names that you can't use together? Like, because they rhyme, or are from the same root, or are too similar for another reason.

For instance, I love Juliet and Harriet but they sort of rhyme. I'm also a little bit worried about Charlotte with either of those two.
I also love Julian and Julienne, but I can't use either of them with Juliet.
Same goes for Jonah, Judah and Jeremiah- too close. I could go on for ages...Simon and Solomon. May and April. Jack and Jaqueline. Anna and Hannah. Leah and Levi. Also, I like names like Rory, Quinn, Sage and Avery for both boys and girls. I love so many names that I'll have enough to chose from if I ever do have children, but its still the tiniest bit dissapointing that I can't have a boy Rory and a girl Rory, or a Judah and a Jonah.

My choices:

Girl: Kaitlyn Claire
Boy: Dorian Joshua


Now you go!

So, I thought of two possible middle names for Aurelia.  What do you think of them?

Aurelia Soleil
Aurelia Satine (yes, I love the movie Moulin Rouge)

I like Soleil but I think satine maybe a bit too Moulin Rouge for me.

My friend and his husband are friends with someone who is pregnant and I just found out what the name of the baby will be.  Bailey Lowell.  It is for a boy.  I was quite shocked at how tame the name ended up being, considering the mother is a big time party girl and kinda quirky herself, so I was kinda expecting something a little different than Bailey.  Although, I just had a thought, isn't Bailey's an alcoholic drink?
