My boyfriend and I will be picking up a seven month old mixed breed puppy from its foster home on the 22nd, but we're still up in the air about what to call her.

( Here's a photo of her, and some of the names we're considering... )

Thank you all in advance!

I was wondering if anyone had any middle names that would go with Kiefer and/or Kieran? I like both names but can't find any good middle names for them.

haven't posted in a while...

so, insomnia got the better of me last night and I was trawling baby_names, and it got me to thinking about names I used to HATE and I found that I've come to like most of them.
Here are just a few examples to get the ball rolling:

Evelyn (I really like this now!)
Norah (Ditto!)
Eleanor
Emma
Ruth

I still can't like a lot of B names, which is funny because I'm a Bianca. I cringe whenever I see Bethany, or Beatrice, or Briana, or Brenda... Urghh! Especially Bethany for some reason. It's just so ugly to me.

Anyway, what are some of the names you used to HATEHATE and now you like?

EDIT: I'm sorry if this has idea has already been done, but I don't recall coming across it?

I was cleaning out some of my old magazines and books from last semester and I came across one of the old alumni magazines that I picked up in the admissions office one time.

These babies were born prior to the Fall of 2007.

( The announcements... )

I would like to use James Burke Arrington as a boy name. After my brother, James, and gradfather-in-law surname, Burke. I'm thinking to call him Burke since my brother's name is James. Hubby doesn't really want to use Burke as the everyday name, so....

My question is what are other nicknames for James other than Jamie or Jimmy? I would really like to avoid Jimmy because we live in the south and Jimmy just sounds redneck around here. LOL.

Serj or Sergei

[sweatydog.livejournal.com]

For some reason I'd never thought of this name before but it makes me really happy both because Serj Tankian (system of a down) has been my favorite singer since I was 12 and because we once had a waiter at the olive garden named Sergei who made me really happy when I was depressed. (he was really sweet and gave us a bajillian Andes mints)

So here:

Serj or Sergei WDYT?

Pretty much all my favorite names come from books. I fall in love with the characters, which leads to the names...

Matilda (Matilda by Roald Dahl)
Henry and Clare (The Timetraveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger)
Lilly and James (Harry Potter)
Dexter (Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay (I think))
Charlotte and Avery (Charlotte's Web by E.B. White)
Ruby (Ruby the Copycat, my fav book when I was little and The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom)
Holden (The Catcher in the Rye by J.D.Salinger)
Harper, Scout, Atticus, Radley (To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee)
Tala (Also from Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet In Heaven)                                                                                                                            

That is just a few.

What are some of your favorites that were influenced by books/movies/tv?

kind of interesting...

I met a four year old little girl named Meadow today. Honestly, I don't usually like the whole nouns as names deal, but for some reason I kind of liked this name (not that I'd ever use it myself). She was a doll, so maybe that had something to do with it.

Anyway, WDYT?

"Atticus? Oh, like the character from To Kill a Mockingbird?"

The kid's mom gave me a glare! Come on! What do you expect me to connect it with?

Oh, I feel like I should mention that this mom was more middle aged, so it was surprising. I sort of expect a hipster mom to name her kid Atticus, but she shattered that view in my head.

* She actually did name the child after Atticus Finch. I forgot to mention that in my tiredness <3 That's why the glare seemed so out of place.
