E names

[bohemianvegan.livejournal.com]

I came across "Ekaterina", which is a Russian form of "Catherine". I like it a lot, as long as it's said fast. What do you think of Evangeline? I knew of a girl named "Erielle". I like "Arielle" better.

I've heard of the name before this dream but now I like it more.

WDYT?

Since i heard "Hey there Delilah" by Plain White T, the name has really grew on me.
I don't know if i'd ever use it, but if i had a child right now it'd be a possiblilty. I'd probably use the nickname Lila too.
What's everyones thoughts on it?

we're still not completely set with girls names, so any other suggestions would be greately appreciated.

What do you think of:

Zoe Isadora for a girl
Zebulon James for a boy? (James is the husband's late father's name)

Helen

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

I've just started to like this name (as of today is how 'just' it actually is) but I was wondering what you guys thought of it.

Too old-layish? Plain?

What do you guys think of the variants, Helene, Hellen, Helena?

Ooooh.....had a baby name related dream....

[ugottafriend.livejournal.com]

I had a brief dream this afternoon while napping. I was pregnant (HA!!! If you only knew how funny that is!), and I didn't know if it was a boy or girl, but I was referring to the baby as "Bren". I was explaining to someone that if it was a girl, the name would be Brenna Shayanne, and if a boy, Brenden Wesley. Bren for short, regardless of gender.

I have had several dreams about babies, but none of them had names before. I thought that was interesting, and the crazy thing about it is that I would so do the Bren thing, and Wesley and Shay have been on my list for years.

Is my subconscious telling me something? Probably not, since I can't have kids. But it was cool anyway.

wdyt-some names from a story

[mystickiwi.livejournal.com]

I just finished reading the story "Miss Grief" by Constance Fenimore Woolson. It's a pretty decent short story. The primary female character is name Aaronna because her father was "so disappointed" that she wasn't a boy "he gave me as near as possible the name he had prepared for a boy-Aaron." I'm not really a fan of the name, although it looks...interesting. I would've thought that if you wanted to name your daughter the female equivalent of Aaron, you would've just gone with Erin. I dont think they have similar meanings and origins, but they sound...almost identical (at least they do when everyone I know says it).

another interesting name from the story is Ethelind. I think it's prettier than just plain Ethel, but I'm not a fan

are there any names you have a problem with simply because of how they are pronounced? with me, for instance, the name Brianne/Brianna... since Brianne is spelled like Brian, just with -ne on the end. & the beginning of Brian is said like Bry- & Brianne's beginning said Bree-. same with Michaela. Michael with just an -a on the end, but said differently lol.

stupid, i know. but strange things like that bother me lol.

also, what do you think of people who have children with more than one person, & name the kids very similiar, or the same, names? example: on television i saw a guy (Jayson) who had been married previously & had a child named Jayson Michael- & they call him that, by his first & middle name. the man then re-married & had another son (approximately 8 years later) who they named Jayson whatever Jr.- who they call "Junior."
