So my last post got me thinking, do your favorite names have a certain spark to them? Like you can't exactly describe why it works so well, it just feels right?

While I appreciated everyone's suggestions on my post, the names were nice but they didn't have that thing. So I wonder how many of you named your kids (or are going to name them) the perfect name? Or did you just pick a named that you sorta liked and it became special because its now attached to your kid?

It kinda seems like names are like a relationship...you just know when its right. Any other thoughts?

I love James:) I'm not really into Daphne, but I don't think it's that 'out there' and I don't see it causing problems for her or anything. It's a nice name, just not my style. James is definitely not 'boring.'

Everyone (my parents and the friends I've discussed it with; people in the community tend to like them more) dislikes my favorite names. My top 2 for each gender are Thatcher Michael Timothy, Atticus Carver William, Harriet Adrienne Margaret, and Louisa Harper Grace, and the only one anyone even sort of likes is Louisa. But that's ok, because I doubt I'd use any of them except that one. I'll probably use Elliot, Alexander, Louisa, and Catherine instead and put Harriet and Thatcher as one of the middle names.

That's how I feel about Thatcher. It's a cool, strong name, but I wouldn't use it. *g* I'm glad James isn't 'boring'. I think my name, Katherine, is more boring than James, and I like my name!

I personally don't like the two middle name thing. I think the combos you've selected are great! My favorite is actually Louisa Harper Grace. All three names are on my list. I think it's a great blend of classic, strong, and modern all at the same time. Unless your partner hates them, I wouldn't change those combos. They're pretty dang cool, and aren't silly or weird to me.
