Sibset in the paper today: Huntyr, Carsyn and Parkyr, all girls.

two, unrelated

[so-there.livejournal.com]

at work I came across the name Galen on a file. no indication of whether this is a male or a female, anyone know? I'm trying to decide if I like it or not...

also, in a parenting magazine I saw a photo of triplets, the two girls were Faith and Hope, and the boy was... Gabriel. really, why not just call him Love? or Charity? [/sarcasm]

Themes

[girlsteve.livejournal.com]

Ok, here's a question.

There's a friend of the family who is expecting a kid, and if it's a girl she wants to call her 'Ruby Tuesday' after the Rolling Stones song. If it's a boy she wants to call him James Dean.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, I can see where her husband is coming from when he says it's a little tacky. He also thinks it might give the kid, especially if it's a boy, a lot to live up to.

On the other hand, they are all nice names in my opinion. Tuesday is very unusual, but as a middle name it's not too bad and they both have a nice flow to them. Plus, as the mother to be points out, nobody really asks for middle names and the kid could chose to tell people or not. Plus, especially now, Ruby Tuesday isn't a hugely recognisable reference, and it's a great song...

Anyway, wondered what you thought? Either of these choices in particular, or on 'theme naming' in general (I should add, the husband outright banned Penny Lane as an option...)

edit: we don't have resturants called Ruby Tuesday here in the UK, and a quick poll of the library computer room shows that no one here has heard of it! (not necessarily scientific, I grant you...)

Hrm.

The DF and I always have problems with Boy names. (Probably because I don't like "boring" boy names and he doesn't like "unusual" boy names.) But we finally agreed on one:

Henry

I love it, he loves it, all is good, right? Well, not really. Cause what goes with Henry?

We were thinking Henry Graham, but my friend says it sounds like a little old man and she kind of has a point. What would you put with Henry? (Please no J names, as our last name is J and we aren't big fans of alliteration... or consanince... I always mix those two up.)

Thanks in advance!

I don't normally do this...

[minimepending.livejournal.com]

But I was looking at a friends myspace and her second cousin was just born and they named him...

Matthan Justus.

I'm not sure how I feel about Matthan... I don't hate Justus, but not that spelling.

2 names can't decide

I think I like the -h version better. What do you guys think?

Also, I heard the name on the news, how does Cohen sound? Do you think of Borat immediately or no?

Interesting...

I've posted here once in the past with a list of names from the private daycare/preschool where I work. Four new students were enrolled today, here are there names [separated by sibset]:

Kiara (pronounced "key-ARE-uh", like Simba's daughter in 'The Lion King 2', I think?)
Carolina (pronounced "caro-LEE-nah")
They are of Spanish descent; both are girls.

JaShawn (pn "jha-shawn", nickname sounds like"shawnie"... but Mom spells it 'Shawni')
Jajuan (pn "jha-WAN", nickname sounds like "nawnie"... but Mom spells it 'Nani')
(Twin boys who are African American.)

What are your thoughts?

So I decided today I like the name Evangeline, nick name Evie (so cute). While I really like Evangeline, I also feel like it's "too much name". Would you use it?

[hotchpot.livejournal.com]

What do you think of the name Judith?

I'm not sure if I would ever use it.

Some names i like (part 1)

[megumi-nagase.livejournal.com]

Hi! Usually i don't really like to share my names' list (i know, a little selfish  =P) but i wanna know what all you think about them. It's not the entire list, there are so many names there. Oh! They are just girls names and because i'm not thinking of having kids (at least not in the near future) they are temptative pets names (i have 4 dogs and 5 cats  ^^). Enjoy!

( To the names! )

Another old-school post.

[gangwaygirls.livejournal.com]

The mention of Puritan virtue names (Constance, Patience, Hope, etc) led me to this interesting site, which lists names that were popular in England from 1450-1650. There are some never-heard-before names on there, and others which are still popular today. I had no idea that Audrey was a pet name for Etheldreda, but I'm glad that one died out. Yeesh.

Oh, and khreateph spellers, this could be right up your alley. Did you ever think of spelling Alexander as "Eayllesander"? How about Allison as "Helysoune"?

Some of the more bizarre names include

English
Boniface (or its alternate spelling, Boneface)
Frideswide (this was a female name)
Huldah
Fulk (The Incredible!)
Dowsabel

I'm not pregnant or anything but I am getting married next year and since we were talking about the wedding we also started talking about children and names. For boys we are pretty set on..

Noah Vincent (Vincent is his middle name and his father's name as well)
William (nn Liam) Christopher (My father's first name)

and for girls...we are at a loss. Our first girl (if we have one) will have the middle name Elizabeth because it goes back 8 generations on my side. What are some names that go well with the boys names we are leaning towards and also go well with Elizabeth?
