So my boyfriend and I have agreed on Amelia for our babe due in June.

I like the name, but I know I'm going to want to nick name her (it's what I do). I'm sure I'll call her whatever *comes* to me, but I'd like to have a couple options to start from.

I don't particularly care for Amy and Mia is out since that's my cat's name.

Anything aside from these two and Lia that come to mind?

Thanks in advance!

I just saw some twins on flickr. At first I thought it was two boys Cooper Thomas and Hadley Owen.

Except Hadley Owen is a girl! Is it just me or is this a really masculine name? I think Hadley could potentially be paired with something feminine ie Hadley Rose. But Hadley Owen, just really sounds like a boy.

My friend's cousin just found out that she's having another girl (they have two already) and they plan on naming her Emily. I asked what the other girls' names were and she told me "Ashley and Kailey." I think they're too cutesy for my tastes, but I like Emily and Ashley is okay.

Then I found out how they are spelled:

Ashleigh
Kayeligh
Emmileigh

UGH.

I've got the big u/s in about 2 weeks, where I hope to learn the gender of the bean! Yay! I've got my girl name picked and set, but I'm struggling with a middle for the boy.

I LOVE the name Oliver, so that's going to be the first name. The only middle names I've come up with that don't make me wince are:

Oliver Austen Stene
Oliver Brandon Stene
Oliver Edward Stene

As you can see I'm using Jane Austen for inspiration. Lol. But that's because I just recently reread Sense and Sensibility.

I'm not in love with any of those. I think I have one of those last names that's just... rough. It's hard to find anything that flows well with it. It's pronounced like Green but with a St.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :)

WDYT...

Of the name Evander? I just stumbled across it on behindthename.com (though I'm sure I've heard of it before) and I kinda really like it. What are your opinions on it?

Female name "Brodha".

[ruzsa.livejournal.com]

Pronounced "Bro-dah". Wikipedia says that the Gaelic word "brodha" refers to "a flat, level piece of land".

What is a flat piece of land traditionally for? It is where one might pitch a tent or construct a small shelter, if travelling. It is where one might build more permanent structures such as homes, farms, or a township. The right spot to plant oneself for a new beginning -- a place to set down and prepare for the next step in moving forward. It is the stable foundation for all sound things: level ground.

The masculine name "Brodie" (or "Brody") is from the same word, therefore "Brodha" can be considered the feminine form. In more recent times, however, the masculine form has been used in more unisex terms. For one example, please see female musician Brody Dalle (Spinnerette, The Distillers), who took on the name herself.

I can has poll?

[screamatmyself.livejournal.com]

Rate these ten names on a scale of one to ten. One means you hate it, ten means you love it.

The first five are girls names, the second five are boys.

If you would be so kind, please tell me why you don't like a name.

( poll! )

Hi, I'm here with a question. I'm looking for some German boys names and I'm having a lot of trouble. I want something that you can tell is German but doesn't scream "English eez my second language!"
If it helps I like the name Barrett. How it's not too German but just German enough.
Sorry if my question is totally crazy and unanswerable :/
