OK, I know this is probably a long shot, but I figured if anyone would know the answer to this question, it would be someone from this community.

Is there a babynames site somewhere online where you can search for names according to the meaning you want? A friend of mine and her husband are expecting their first baby after eight years of trying. They want to give the baby a name that reflects the triumph and jpy they feel at finally being parents, and want to find a name that reflects that. The only name they've been able to find so far that fits their criteria is Maureen -- which apparently means "longed-for child", but they aren't really all that jazzed about the name itself. And they can't find anything for a boy.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

I really like the nickname Whit for a boy but I can't find a full name that I like for it.  Whitley to me sounds too feminine, so I thought about Whitman, but I'm sure there'd be a lot of associations with that name.  Can you think of any full names that would work? 

Middle Name Help

[erikalyn.livejournal.com]

I think I've just about decided on the first name for my baby girl due in May but I'm having some trouble with middle names. I would like to honour my mother somehow but I'm not a huge fan of either of her names (Karen Ann), so I'm looking for some other variations/names I could use that would still honour her without being the exact same name. All I've been able to come up with is Katherine, which doesn't exactly make me all warm and fuzzy inside. Help!

Stella (insert middle name here) Trenholm

EDIT: I found one I like, Katrine, but I would still like to hear other suggestions :)

Today on the Tyra show, they talked about names and how people perceive others based on their name. So I wanted to know what you guys think when you hear these names, not just if you like it or not, but what ethnicity you think that person is and what you think that person is like.

Here are some of the names that were on the show:
Deedrica
Ashleigh
Jose
Sajida
Christine
Maria

and here are just some of my friends:
Kristina
Brittany
Holly
Tyler
Britta
Jameka

So what do you guys think of the name Joaquin? Try not to think of the actor and consider the name itself. At first I didn't like it, but it's growing on me.

Which spellings do you prefer? And, if you can, why?

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

Allie or Ally? (as a nickname for any of the 5 girl names on my list that begin with Al)

Catherine or Katherine?

Elliot or Elliott? (m)

Haley or Hayley?

Jodi, Jodie, or Jody?

Kristen or Kristin?

Lesley or Leslie? (f)

Stefanie or Stephanie?

I like all of these, and I'm trying to decide which spellings I like better.

So, me and my boyfriend LOVE the name Sirius for a boy. Not because of Harry Potter, but because.. it's just an awesome name.

Pretending Harry Potter never existed, what do you think? If in the future we have a son, we're naming him Sirius Arthur. Although it's unfortunate that my boyfriend's last name begins with a T, it's not as bad as it could be. Arthur is after my grandfather that passed away.

And in the case of a girl, it's definitely Remi Christine, or Remi Grace. Remi was his sister's name, and we've agreed on Christine but I'm sorta stuck on Grace for a middle name, too. I just don't know which sounds better together, but I'm open to using Christine or Grace as a sibling's middle name as well..   

Also, what are good twin names to pair up with the following.

Sirius Arthur (m)

and

Remi Christine/Grace (f)
