I know it's a little dated, but we may be using Danielle as a middle name. It's my cousin/bffs name and most of the other names we like have been used in my family to honor relatives.

What names go well with Danielle as a mn? My fiance is seeming to lean more toward unisex, or atleast not so frilly, girly first names.

Two new names quickly making their way to the top of my list (both for boys): Casey and Lee. I really like them both, I feel like they're not unexpected and definitely not overused. I tend to like more unisex names on boys so they fit in well with some of my other favorites (Morgan, Sage). I never see them mentioned here. What do you think?

pronunciation

[feelslike-2day.livejournal.com]

how would you pronounce Keighly?

At first i read Kay-lee, then Ky-lee...then after some more pondering i decided that if you put an l in front of eigh it makes 'Lee'- so therefore it would be Kee-lee?

ETA:I read the name in a book- unfortuantely it was the main character's name and i spent a couple minutes going 'whhaaat?' before i decided on a pronunciation lol.

This or That: New Testament: Round 4

My Job Just Got Hard

[rochrd1.livejournal.com]

I have been settled on a girls name for my entire pregnancy - Mila Aloha Sanchez.  Aloha is my mother's name, and i wanted to honor her for raising us on her own. 

So now i've had a wrench thrown in my plan, which comes in the form of a BOY. I am at a loss on names. I've left it up to my husband, but not so sure that is a good idea. The two names we've come up with so far are Milos (Mee-Lohs) and Cassius (Cash-Us, after Muhammad Ali.) Thoughts? Honesty won't hurt me ;).

A list of girls' names.

I just started working at this crazy mill on this crazy island just east of Quebec City. Anyway, I have to learn a whole bunch of history, so I've been reading this book and it had a list of names of people who signed a petition in 1815 for a new watermill to be built on the island. So yeah, here are some Quebec names from 200 years ago. I found the spellings of a lot of the names really interesting. There's tons of repeats, but here's the list:
