I'm thinking about another story, and I already have my two main characters' first names but I need middle names. They're female, in their late teens or early twenties, and American. Their names are
Carey and Quinn
I know a bunch of you probably hate these names, but please don't complain about them; they're not going to change. I just want middle name suggestions, please. =)
EDIT: Carey can be short for Caroline, Carina, whatever you want, or it can be a full first name. I don't really care; tell me which way you like.

So Im wondering what you all think about naming children after celebrities?
I know a woman who had a child last year and named her Shakira, this womans 17 year old daughter will be giving birth to a little girl soon, she says shes naming her Aaliyah, I also know another girl thats gaving birth soon and naming her daughter Kaaliyah, Another friend had a son and named him Zane, after the not so popular rapper "Lil'Zane"
I just dont understand why? I mean, some celeb names are nice, but I dont get why you would name a child after a celeb really, WDYT?

Some teeangers with babies:
A girl I know had a baby boy: Jason Wesley-Grady
Her boyfriend is a big basketball fan and the Grady is after Tracy McGrady. She's only like 16 years old and I have to say, I'm quite impressed that she picked such a sensible name as Jason. Wesley-Grady doesn't exactly flow but whatever.
Another girl I know has a daughter who is about a year old: Hailey Isabelle
Another one: Liam Alexander
Some others teenage-parent babies that I only know first names:
Abby and Lenny (sibs)
Caly
Aidan (girl)
Arianna
Logan (boy)
Jeremiah
Gabriel
Not bad. =]
ETA: My name list:

Lots of the names are repeats from my last lists so hopefully most of you don't remember that. =P

As I'm one of many Jennifers, no one ever really says much when i introduce myself or anything, but when my Aunt is out with my cousin named Lydia, she always gets compliments on her name.
What do people say about your/your children('s) name(s) when you go out?

So, I'm trying to name a fictional character. The mother would be young and single, and likely to use trendy/kree8tiv/eweneek names. So, when commenting keep that in mind and don't give the usual "It's too trendy/kre8tv/made-up" comments. That's what I'm going for.
So far I've come up with:
Girl
Heaven Leigh (nn Healeigh, pn like Hailey)
Bayleigh *needs a middle name*
Boy
Haven Lee
Any other thoughts or suggestions?
Also, on a non-related note...a question I was thinking of today. Do you prefer Hailey or Hallie? (Just to be clear, I'm not asking about spelling, because I know they are different names and pronounced differently. I'm wondering about which actual name you prefer)
One last thing...how do YOU pronounce 'Lei'. I've seen people say that a name like Hailei couldn't be the name as Hayley, because it would be Hay-LAY. Personally, I pronounce 'Lei' as LEE. The exception being with Princess Leia...and had I see the name before I heard it, I'd pronounce that as LEE-ah. To me LAY-ah would be spelled Laia. Am I 'wrong' in thinking that way?

what do you think about the name TAEGAN / TEAGEN for a girl ?
TAEGAN
Gender: Masculine & Feminine
Usage: English
Perhaps either a variant of TEAGAN (masculine) or a form of TEGWEN (feminine).
TEAGAN
Gender: Masculine & Feminine
Usage: Irish
Means "little poet", derived from Gaelic tadhg "poet" and a diminutive suffix.
is it too close tothe word TAKEN ?

You have six children, genders of your choice, and you have to give each three names (two first names/one middle, one first/two middle, three first, however you want to do it). Now, the challenge is this - name your children three times (think of it as three sets of six) using some kind of theme for each set (nature, celebs, literary, meaning, etc). *not all three names need to carry the theme, just the set as a whole...but bonus points to those who can!*
OK - Go!
Edit - Here are mine

Jessica = Middle name?
Dec. 11th, 2007 11:50 pm![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png)
I'm wondering what would be a good short middle name for Jessica.
I'm interested in mainly one syllable-names, two syllables at the most.
I'm up for "filler" middle names, except Ann, Anne or Rose.
Like to give it a shot? :)
