when will people learn...

[politicking.livejournal.com]

don't get mad at people for spelling your child's name wrong when YOU spell it totally wrong or out of whack (like the case of the girl i know who named her daughter Destiny Champane... or the spelling Ahmelya instead of Amelia), or get mad at people for pronouncing it wrong when you have spelled it in such a way that it looks NOTHING like it is pronounced!

cases i saw today: Kristie pronounced like Keer-stie... Laylah pronounced as Lie-lah... Briandan pronounced as Bran-don.

btw BRIANDAN? the kid is like 15-16 yrs old.

Name list!

[girlsteve.livejournal.com]

Having diligently posted on many a name list, I thought I would bite the bullet and share mine :D

These are the names that I like that have not been vetoed by my boyfriend. In case you are wondering, Shay is a family name. I know it sounds somewhat feminine, hence it appears on both lists, but it's actually a boys name and the name of a boy I would like to honour.

Anyway, votes and comments much appreciated, whether you love them, hate them or are somewhat indifferent.

Stole the idea from someone else's post about the "Real Cheaper By the Dozen" family. I'm gonna list my dad's side of the family. I'm not putting spouses because, well...divorce/remarriage runs rampant in my family. It'd get too confusing after awhile.
Bold is grandma and grandpa. Regular is their kids. Italics are their grandkids. Underlined is their great grandkids.
PS- The kids aren't in the correct birth order...I can't REMEMBER the correct birth order half the time. "Interesting" stories behind names marked with *

**So named because "NO child of ~husband~ was going to have a WHITE name." So, my cousin wasn't allowed to name them Jordan and Kyle, like she wanted to.

Boys Names

[gentlebutterfly.livejournal.com]

Hey all!
So I've recently had a baby boy, and my husband and I are thinking about the next one...because we're crazy. We have a girls name all set and ready to go, but not another boys name. I need suggestions for a good boys name.

Critera:
- Must go well with John Russell
- Must go well with the last name Parker
- Popular is ok, but I'd prefer something not trendy.

Right now my husband likes the name Dennis and I like the name Scott, but we both hate each others picks. Thanks!

These past couple of weeks I have become obsessed with the name Strummer.
And I've recently decided that if I ever have a baby boy, i will call him Strummer. I know it sounds stupid, but I like it and at least it would be differnet, also it's in honor to Joe Strummer from The Clash - a band I have loved since a tot, cause mother and uncles used to blair the music loudly.

I mentioned this to my mother in the car today. And her first question was "What would it's middle name be?"
I hadn't put any thought into that at all. So I sat dumbfounded for a secon and decided that I'd like to use an Irish or Scottish middle name with it - because my family heritage is of Scottish and Irish.

So here are some thoughts:

Strummer Ewen
Strummer Boyd
Strummer Eoin
Strummer Tavis
Strummer Fynn
Strummer Miach


Any thoughts or suggestions?
Also feel free to tell me if you think the name is bogus. I'm open to eveyrones oppinion.

So I saw a psychic today and she told me about her kids and their names.  I did remember them too. :-)

Parents: Karla and Joe
Kids: Caroline / Carolyn, Hazel, Forest and Eric

What do you think of them?

Is the name Rey (for a boy btw) too nicknamey to be a name by itself? I'm starting to become attached to this name but hate most of the names that have Rey as a nickname, boo!

Sooo... perhaps some suggestions from you guys would be helpful. Thankies!

What are your favorite Disney character names?

Also, in the credits of Enchanted there is someone named Winsome. I kind of like it. WDYT? 

Spelling

Which form of Annabelle do you like the best?

Annabelle
Annabel
Annabell
Anabel
Anabelle
Anabell


Personally, I can't decide. I feel like "Annabelle" has too many repeating letters, but the other forms look slightly off or like they're spelled wrong. I guess out of all of them, I like "Anabel" the best. Are there other alternative spellings that aren't too crazy?

WDYT?
