So when I was taking a test today, I had a thought about the "name" Abcde and wondered if I could make a name out of the entire alphabet.  So I wrote it down and this is the pronunciation I would use.  What do you think?  It's awesome, right?  Screw the name Aurelia, I am so naming my daughter Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz!  (ab-suh-def-geej-kluh-min-ohp-kwarst-oov-wex-eez)

And I am totally joking.  God, can you imagine figuring out how to say that???

Hugh

What are you thoughts on the name Hugh? It's my friends kids middle name (Joshua Hugh). I'm not so big on the name but it could be just because it's paired with Joshua and I think Joshua is too overused.

Suggestions?

My boyfriend and I are expecting our first child in mid-June of 2008. We have established long, long before I found out I was pregnant, that we were going to have the middle name (regardless of sex) "Jordan" - after a very close friend of ours that passed away last year.

I'm finding it somewhat difficult to find names that "match" Jordan. He picked out "Trey Jordan" for a boy. I'm not sure if I'm absolutely crazy about it. A girl at work suggested "Mckenzie Jordan" for a girl.

Anybody have any suggestions? We want a unique name, but nothing too crazy. Something we can pronounce. :)

Opinions, Please!

So... hubby and I are workin' on a baby, and hoping for a boy.  Although we've discussed waiting to find out the sex of the baby until it's birth... We'll see how that works.  Anyway, its one of those dreary days at home, and I've made a list of potential boy names.  Let me know what you think! Oh, and middle name for a boy will be Clifton, its a family name.

Isaiah
Cooper
Lucas
Patrick
Bradley
Bennett
Jay
Reese

Feel free to make any suggestions that you think would work as a first name with the middle name Clifton!

Ok, this one is for the books. My boss met the Grandmother and Mother last night at an event. These are the names for a single line of women:

Great Grandmother: Melody
Grandmother: Lyric
Mother: Harmony
Daughter: Cadence

I kid you not.

Suggestions?

In general I'm not a fan of common names for girls. So no Jessica, Jennifer, Ashley, Amanda.... Anyway I was watching TV and apparantly Sara Ramirez from Grey's Anatomy's first name isn't pronounced the way most people would say it. It sounds more like Sir-rah, which I kinda like. So any suggestions on spelling Sara (or Sarah) so that it would be pronounced that way? I'm not looking for anything way out there (no Justyn instead of Justin type thing).

How would you pronounce Elke?

[jenannew.livejournal.com]

I had a friend named Elke pronounced Elk-ah, however I believe the actress Elke Sommer pronounced it Elk-ee.  

How would you or how have you heard it pronounced?

Everyone likes to post the names of celebrity kids, so...in honor of the fact that my boys are in town, and I can't go, I decided to list a few of the drivers'/pit crew members' kids. Grouped into sib sets.


If anyone is a fan, and wants to guess who each sib set belongs to, then have fun and go for it!

I got two questions, both related to nicknames/short names.
I personally like short names (one or two syllables), but it appears that in English, a lot of short names, especially on girls, are nicknames. So...
1. Can you guys come up with more one syllabic girl's names? I could only come up with Jane, June, Joan, Lane, Maeve, May, Rae, Lee, Faye & Anne.
2. Is giving nicknames a particularly English-speaking-country thing? Or does it happen in other countries/cultures as well? Because here it's quite uncommon. Possibly because a lot of Dutch names are just very short. It's interesting =)

Utter disgust

So, I found out today that one of my ex's is having a son within the next few months and naming him Lyric....Sure I have a bias because he's my ex but putting all of that aside I still Headdesked like 5 times in a row...seriously I need a Dr. 

Maybe my bias is just getting in the way because every time I think of him all I think is the word 'stupid' So really this name isn't a surprise to me. Great he's having a child and is happy and all but Lyric?

Am I the only one who thinks this is a totally moronic name for a boy? 

Need help on origin

[kockxfight.livejournal.com]

We're naming our daughter, who is due in January, Harley Emmerson and I need to find some in depth meanings for these names. Any ideas where I could find them?

Thanks so much!
