Well, my long time boyfriend finally proposed on Christmas, and so we have been discussing the future the last few days. Which of course to me always means fantasizing about what we might name our children.

The boys name I like is:
Elisha Benjamin J. (J being what our last name is. J really makes an H should. lol) This was my great grandfather's name, and I really love it. :)

For a girl we like:
Katherine Jean J.

Though I am not 100% sold on the sound. Any other suggestions that are similar to Katherine in sound and style?

Thank You for sitting through my musing. :)

My friend Daniela and her husband Jason just had a baby, Joshua Felix.  I was quite surprised by the name, but I really like it!

Daniela has 2 sisters, Alice and Andréia, and Jason has a twin sister, Sandra and 2 younger sisters, Bianca and Elaina.

I also spent the holidays in easterb Quebec with my sister and her boyfriend and his family.  Her boyfriend, Jacques, is one of 8 children.  In order they are:

Roland (married to Marie, has 2 children: Fred and Marie-Annick)
Réjean (married to Lise)
Daniel (married to a woman who has a very French name that starts with M, but I can't remember right now)
Jacques (has daughter Talia from previous marriage, lives with my sister Marion and her daughter Kiyah)
Suzanne (married to Jean, has daughter Naida prn Nigh-ee-dah)
Marie-Diane (has daughter Ariana, I think a foster son named William)
Nathalie (married to Dany, has 2 children: Émi prn Amy and Rachel prn Rachelle)
Gilbert

I also met their neighbours, sisters named Luce (rhymes with puce) and Lucie.  I find this hilarious.

ETA:  I was looking up Sharon Horgan (actress/comedienne from "Pulling" among other shows) and she has two daughters with really interesting names:  Amer and Sadbhb.  The second name, if I understand correctly, is prn Sive or Saeve, and since she is Irish, it makes sense.  Amer I'm not sure about because it seems to be a variant of Amir, which is odd for a girl.
