I have a couple of questions.  Number 1, what are some possible real names for the nickname Byrdie / Birdie (girl)?  I quite like that name but don't have a real name for it.  Number 2, what do you think of these names that I liked from my new baby names book?  The *ed ones are ones I don't like but saw in the book.

Asael (b)
Azizi (I like it on a girl, but it is technically a boy's name)
Israel
Klara / Clara (said Clawr-ruh)
Nicola
Mattias
Nicoletta
Esme
Byrdie
Gus
Kansas (g)
Abram
Imogen (im-oh-gin)
Poppy
Shiloh
Cricket (only for an animal though)
Aiken (b)
*Accalia (g)
Adela (uh-day-luh)

And Acklyn I kinda made up, what do you think of that?  I couldn't think of what name it reminded me of then I realized it wa Jacqueline that it reminded me of.

Has it become too trendy and popular?

WDYT?

I'm finding out the sex of our baby in a month, so we've been sort of looking more into baby names as of lately. We want something that's not too trendy, but too out there that our kid is gonna hate us in 10 years. :P Middle name will stay the same, as it is personal. (Jordin for a girl, Jordan for a boy)

For a girl I'm in love with Avery, but I'm a little afraid it's become trendy/popular as of lately?

And for a boy, my boyfriend is set on Quinton or Elijah. I think Elijah has also become very popular lately. And I think I might like "Quentin" better than "Quinton". What do you think?!

What do you guys think of the names Beatrix and Wendy?

Kate

[ouronlylight.livejournal.com]

What do y'all think about the name Kate? I've really found myself in love with it over the past few days, probably for the same reasons that I love Jane — the long a gives it a fresh sound, and it's short and classic at the same time.

And, if you do like the name Kate, do you prefer it to be short for something — Katherine, Katelyn, etc?

Morphing around

[trivher.livejournal.com]

Take your five favorite male and five favorite female names and using the letter before each one in the alphabet create some new "names". Vowels go to the next vowel and consonants to the next consonants. So A would become Y and not Z. F would be D and not E. Than do the same thing again but with these go to the letters after.

Example Rigel (my cat's name) becomes Qefak using the letters before Sohim with the letters after.

I didn't see this posted - Christina and Jordan's baby is called Max Liron Bratman

"He is a beautiful, healthy baby boy!" a rep forthe couple tells PEOPLE. "Mom is resting and doing well!"
Max – 6 lbs., 2 oz. and 20.5 inches – arrived late on Saturdaynight in L.A.

Meh. I don't like it.

WDYT

Grace Elizabeth?

I think it's pretty but fear it may be too boring...
Thoughts?  

Also, are Isaiah and Isla too similar for a sibset?
I think so...but I need other opinions.

Celebrity baby name game!

Here we go! Try to make your own personal naming style work within these parameters:

1. GIRL: Name your child for a fruit. Middle name must be the names of two women in your or your SO's family. (Gwenyth Paltrow: Apple Blythe Alison)

2. GIRL: First name must be a classic movie star's last name. Middle name must be 1) a  season and 2) a four-letter name. (Nicole Ritchie: Harlow Winter Kate)

3. BOY: First name must mean peaceful or calm and middle name must be something to do with your ethnicity or your culture [for example, if you are french, the name must be french]. (Angelina Jolie: Pax Thien)

4. GIRL: First and middle names must be gemstones. (Mike D of the Beastie Boys: Ruby Diamond)

5. BOY: First name must be Biblical. Both middle names must be the names of men in your or your SO's family. (Gwenyth Paltrow: Moses Bruce Anthony)

6. BOY: First name must be the last name of a contemporary actor you admire. Middle name must be a nickname. (Sean and Robin Wright Penn: Hopper Jack). 

7. GIRL: First name must be something to do with the sky, or heaven, or angels, or clouds. First and middle name must start with the same letter. Second middle name must be a flower. (Michael Hutchence and Paula Yates: Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily.)

8. BOY: First name must be the name of a fabric. Second name must be four letters. (Toni Braxton: Denim Cole). 

9. GIRL: First name must be a spice; middle name must be a place name. (Simon and Yasmin Le Bon: Saffron Sahara)

10. GIRL: First name must be a traditional boys name; middle name must be a nickname (Jim Belushi: Jamison Bess)

11. GIRL: First name must be the last name of one of your favorite writers. Second name must be a flower. (Teri Hatcher: Emerson Rose). 

12. And for the last: you have five sons and one daughter. Their first initials must all be the same as your last initial, and the middle initials must be: 

Sons: V, M, A, none 
Daughter: E

(Robert Rodriguez: Rocket Valentin, Racer Maximiliano, Rebel Antonio, Rogue, and Rhiannon Elizabeth). 

Mine are in the comments!

Callum

What's your opinion of Callum?

And do you like it spelt Callum or Calum?

It's kind of starting to grow on me, but I'm not sure. It's Scottish, and 'Gaelic' names are really trendy at the moment (although I won't be having kids for a few years), but it's easy to spell and pronounce.

What do you all think of it?
