In reference to middle names for Gemma

[ladydreamfire.livejournal.com]

UPDATE: I've poured through all the ideas so many of you have given me, plus what I've taken from online sites, 2 name books, and one contender my son threw in. A lot of heart-wrenching editing later and it leaves me with this list. I have 2 HUGE favorites (meaning I love them all, just those two a little more) so my last option is where I combined those two. I don't know how I feel about having two middle names in general, but I kinda like it here. Probably because I'm indecisive. What do you think of these:

1) Gemma Cosette Gibbons
2) Gemma Suntine Gibbons
3) Gemma Hermione Gibbons
4) Gemma Delphine Gibbons
5) Gemma Mignonette Gibbons
6) Gemma Hermione Cosette Gibbons (I can't help it, I really love both!)

You helped me so much in making a decision! Thanks!


P.S. I just wanted to say thanks again! I love this community! <3

names you wish you could use

[seizansha.livejournal.com]

there's a name you've always loved, a suggestion you think's adorable, or even something completely random that you're seriously considering, but there's one thing stopping you.

you last name. it just doesn't sound right together, makes you think of all the teasing your child would endure, something.

an example: my now ex-sister-in-law wanted to use Noah or Eaton for my nephew. both are good, strong names but with Bacon as his last name they just don't work. and she didn't even realize it. i'm so glad she's ex now

are there any names that you wish you could use? make you chuckle when you find one? seen any you want to smack the parent for?

Lylian.

Confirmed it was pronounced Lilian.


Another thing:
I have noticed 2 people I am acquaintances with named their sons "Topher". Not Christopher, just Topher.  Curious about your thoughts on that...
