I work in a residential treatment center/prison for kids. One of our former residents came by today - free, working, and sober...can't ask for much more than that:) He has a 2 week old daughter....named....

Delilah Serenity

Serenity is from the Serenity Prayer that he credits in part for saving his life from addiction. I think its sweet.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

courage to change the things I can,

and the wisdom to know the difference.

Suggestions for boy names - with the last name Fernandes. Go!

TIA :)

Unisex names?

[amspeck-myworld.livejournal.com]

I saw part of a documentary on parents coping with children born with both sex organs, bringing up a topic of using unisex names (One of the children on the program had a very masculine name, Jacob).

What unisex names do you like/think of?

Here are a few I've found:
Cary
Enfys
Emmery
Francis
Kinsey
Loren
Robin
Sage
Sevan
Shea
Sky
River
Terry

WDYT of this...

A family friend had a baby girl quite recently and named her Lennon. I really hate it but other people to like it...

Was wondering what other opinions were?

 WDYT of Harry on its own? As a nickname? 

ETA: Do you immediately think of Harry Potter? How's Henry for a full name?

The Olympics is a treasure trove of "interesting" names, though I try not to judge most of them TOO harshly...differences in culture and all.

However, I HAVE found one name that I do LIKE...one of the Australian divers.

Briony


WDYT?

Another birth for a family at my preschool

Zachary, 4

[jenufa.livejournal.com]

Could I get some of you guys' favourite celestial or gemstone related BOY names? I know this is harder than girl names. :)

Separate from the above, how about names that mean luck? Also boy names.

ALSO separate from anything else: Boy names that mean a day of the week (Monday, Tuesday, blah blah), or a time of day (born at dawn, night, whatever.)

I already have a few from each column, but I'm wondering if there's any out there I'm missing, thanks! :D
