Ugh, I need to have me some babies already before I come up with too many names!! Anyone else ever worry they'll get sick of their favorite names before they can use them?

On the subject of two middle names (in a recent post):
FWIW, my daughter had two first names, one middle name,  and a hyphenated last name. Our future children will only have one last name.
We've been trying to decide between Jonah Edward (going by Jonah) and Albert Edward IV (going by Edward or Ward). What do you all think of Jonah Albert Edward, (going by Jonah)? I like it, but my main issue is not wanting to use my FIL's name, and if we're going to do that perhaps we might as well just do it. We're pretty sure if we have a second son it will be some combo of Liam (maybe Uilliam), Patrick, and Anthony-- perhaps all three, in that order-- possible nicknames Liam, Paddy/Pat, and Andy.

Girls names!
As I've said before, we like Prism, Alice, and Esme. I know noone here likes Prism, that's okay. However another name we like is Cecily-- can anyone else see the link and is it too much? Other names I like, but aren't our tops, are Ruby, Catrine (or Catherine), Lily, and Eliza (or Elizabeth)

*edit* Okay the link between Prism and Cecily is from The Importance of Being Earnest. A lot of people when they hear Prism say it reminds them of Miss Prism. In the Importance of Being Earnest, Cecily is Miss Prism's ward.

Based on a comment I read-- are -lyn names really that super-duper popular tight now? I've just always thought they were popular in general. Our super-sekret girl's name is an -lyn name and I worry that people will just think I'm trying to be creative with an -lyn name. I actually used to really dislike -lyn names and just fell in love with this one. I'm sure anyone who has seen me post before about this name is annoyed by now, but we're TTC so hopefully soon come! I plan on sharing online once (if) we know there's a girl in there, but not with family until the birth.

Okay, a little OT, but since we all talk about pronunciations and names (words) going together-- a commercial just came on for some dohicky for 'motionless exercise' and I thought they said 'emotionless sexercise. :/

Anywho, night night. Thanks for any input.

So, I'm sure that a lot of people have heard the story of the pregnant man, as that does tend to happen once you're featured on Oprah. Anyway, Thomas Beatie and his wife Nancy have had their baby and named her Susan Juliette. Susan is from Thomas' mother and Juliette is Nancy's middle name.

WDYT?

some awful names for your consideration

I was watching "Babies: Special Delivery" yesterday (which I shouldn't do cuz it freaks me out!) and there was a black women giving birth to her baby. Her name was Ebony, which is bad enough, but she named her baby Ivory. Daddy was white, so the baby's skin color was pretty pale. She was having all these interventions and I just kept saying "She named her Ivory??"

Also, my co-worker told me today her mom knew a woman who claims she saw a sign from God during her labor and named the baby after that. She named him:

Nonsmo King

Can you guess what her sign from God was??

I swear...

My name's Samantha and I want to name my (distant) future daughter Tabitha. 
Do you think people will see the Bewitched reference, which I'm NOT aiming for, or is that show so old, that by the time I have a daughter, the people who do get it will be so few and far between that it shouldn't be an issue?

Thanks.

Met a baby named Adora. I really like it, even though it is not my style. WDYT?

Baby names from a family reunion:

Cooper and Logan - cute kids, I am not crazy about the names.
Anya - love it.
Sierra, Janessa, Andrea - they went for a theme, don't really like any of them.

Also, I met a long lost cousin, who kept on talking about "Connor". I spent the whole day thinking it was her young son's name. It turned out to be her husband. Is it just me or does Connor not age very well? I can't imagine a grown Connor...

   Link to an article on hideous baby names in NZ.

Text for the link-phobic:

Some parents have been branded abusers because of the bizarre names of their children.

 Family Court Judge Rob Murfitt stated his concerns in a written decision after a custody hearing in New Plymouth revealed a couple had named their child Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii.

He was so disturbed at the effect on the nine-year-old that he ordered her temporarily placed under court guardianship so a suitable name could be chosen.

 "It makes a fool of the child and sets her up with a social disability and handicap," he said.

The girl, who had not had her birth officially registered in NZ, had not revealed her name to her friends.

The judge was stopped talking yesterday by Principal Family Court Judge Peter Boshier. His office did provide some New Zealand-registered names the court knew of.

They included: Fish and Chips (twins), Masport and Mower (twins); boys Yeah Detroit, Spiral Cicada, Kaos, Stallion and Hitler; girls Cinderella Beauty Blossom and Twisty Poi; and sex unknown Keenan Got Lucky and Sex Fruit.

Brought to my attentions by patgund, and accidentally posted to my own journal. I fail.

Today I came across this beauty

Mersadiez Leighahnne (Like, Mercedes LeAnn) just a God awful version of it.
Mercedes is an OK name, made even wose by the awful spelling. Leighahnne has too many H's close together.

Also my mom knows this woman who had twins, "Dolce Channel" and "Gabbana Vitton" Um....no, just NO!

( My favorite names as of now. )

What are some of the weirdest names you've heard?

(no subject)

[seksimaggie.livejournal.com]

I plan to get either two rabbits or two ferrets in the near future, when I move out. So these are names I'm thinking of giving them, they're all sort of guilty pleasure names that I don't think would be well-received on a baby now-a-days. So, for small furry animals, what do you think of:

Penelope & Persephone (for two girls)
Harriet and Tobias (for a boy and a girl)
Henry and Oliver (for two boys)

Edit: The reason I consider these names guilty pleasures is that they're basically names I've mentioned to my mom over time and she forbid me from "doing that to a chid". So obviously I really like all of these names too, and I know that a lot of people do and they're mostly acceptable, but I know that people in my life hate them and that's why I wouldn't personally use them.

Eww!

I can't decide which to use for a girl (if we have one). My husband and I both like different spellings and we're having a hard time figuring out which one would suit best.

If you have any other suggestions or spellings not listed here (didn't think I missed any, could be wrong), please feel free to let me know! =]

Edit: And I don't want to hear any crap about using Marie as a middle name. I know it's considered "filler" by some. But, it happens to be my maternal Grandmother's first name and my middle name, so I'd like to keep that family tradition. This is my family's first great grandchild and it means a lot to me to use Marie if we have a girl. Deal with it.
