Hey everybody! Since I am so excited about Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince (out July 15 in the US ;), here is a poll about HP character names:

( WDYT? )

Edward

[heatherpantss.livejournal.com]

(I am sorry if any of this has been discussed before.)


I just finished New Moon and it got me thinking about the name Edward.  I was looking at the SSA website, and it's interesting how the name has been very slowly moving down the list.  With the popularity of Twilight, will the name start to rise for the first time in 100 years?

Edward is my dad's name.  He is Edward Allan.  It is also my brother's middle name, Robert Edward.

My sister had a baby boy when she was 16.  My dad wanted him to be named Edward, but my sister and I protested, saying that it was a "geeky" name.  Well, we didn't say that to his face, but we did to each other.  My nephew's name is Ty Mason.  I don't regret naming him that, (my sister picked the first name and I picked Mason), but as I look back, it wouldn't have been so bad to name him Edward.  I really like the name now.

So I was thinking that when I have a boy, which wont be for a while, I am going to name him Edward.  I am not sure yet if I want it to be the first name or not.  I really like the combo Liam Edward, but who knows if I will still like Liam years from now.  I also like Edward Sebastian, but again, who knows.

What are your favorite middle names for Edward?

Names similar to Katherine...

My boyfriend and I have talked about TTC in about a year or so.  The more I think about it- the closer the year gets.  XD He REALLY hates most of the names I like.  :/   But we both can agree on Katherine.  He loves it.  I love it.  But...  Well my younget cuz is names this.  So really it is out question for me to use...   So what I am asking are some of your favorite names that are similar to Katherine?  :)

Naming by initials

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

If you had to name a girl using P.Q., what names would you choose?
And what about A.J. ?

Boy names for girls

[avery-autumn.livejournal.com]

I can't help but love certain boy names on girls instead of boys.
My two favorite names for girls are Avery and Logan...and now I'm thinking about Harley.

What do you think about Harley for a girl? Do you think those 3 names make a nice sibset?

In terms of middle names, I would want them to be somewhat girly, just so people would know they were girls by reading the names off a class list, or birth announcements... Any suggestions?

what do you guys think of the name Rowdy? i know three Rowdy's the older two pretty well live(d) up to their names.

[hoochiehoops.livejournal.com]

So a guy on America's Got Talent named Franklin Sane.

There was also a little boy on before, I'm pretty sure his name was Arcadian.

Persephone?

[julia-michelle.livejournal.com]

 What nickname possibilities can you come up with for Persephone?  I feel like it's a bit of a mouthful to use as is, and would only consider it if there was a really great nickname.

What do you think of it in general?  
 

I generally tend to fall back on Penelope since it's a *bit* more pedestrian, but I really do prefer Persephone.  Plus the part of me that's a Firefly geek doesn't want to let it go ;)

This or That: New Testament: Round 6

[makeitstopjamie.livejournal.com]

Only two names left!

( This or That? )

amelia nicknames

[coranne.livejournal.com]

So Dh and I really like Amelia for a girl's name, but I want to be able to have a nickname for her.  He really likes Mia, but I really like Millie.

I have nothing against Mia (other than I am a teacher and had a Mia who was a holy terror- and I always think about her when I say Mia), but does Millie sound like an old lady name?

I just picture a little dark haired girl with blue eyes name Millie....


Am I nuts?

Ethnic name

[chirpygirly.livejournal.com]

Hi all, I'd like to hear opinions on a name, and suggestions for middle name.

The name is Abrihet - pronounced "Ah-bree-het(rhymes with jet) It's African and it's meaning is she shines/emanates light.
I realize some probably wont like it, but I love different names, and to me, this one isn't too different as to seem completely unappealing to everyone not of its ethnic origin.
I like how the first part of the name Abri "ah-bree" - is pretty identical sounding to that of the name Aubrey. I prefer Abrihet for everything about it, in that it's meant as just a girls name, (whereas Aubrey is unisex) it's different, it has (to me) a nice meaning, and because it's ethnic ( I have African ancestry on my father's side). And maybe it's just me, but it makes me think of Audrey Hepburn, whom I love! :)

So aside from not liking it, (for those who do) any middle name suggestions? I don't have a preference, just something that flows well, sounds nice.

TIA!

Side note: On the baby name site I found the name Abrihet, I just saw that some girl posted about what she and her husband intend to name their daughter. The name, which she says she isn't joking about... Bazooka Joan. I like different names, but I don't think Bazooka is a good choice at all. O.o

Can you think of any nicknames for Janelle besides Jan or Elle?
Weve decided on that name, but it sounds to adultish for a little baby.
And We've decided on Boston, but we seriously cannot think of a middle name.
Jude came to mind, but my SO doesn't really like it that much. 
Eight weeks left, ahhh i'm gonna die waiting for them.

I know all of you are probobly annoyed by me now but I'm going crazy over here :[
