Birth Announcements.

[the-good-ship.livejournal.com]

Sorry to post again so soon, but come bearing birth announcements. Here are the more interesting ones I came across:

 

Girls

Beau Leigh 

Eaffie Louise

TIENNA ELLAN

EVIE SUMMER

DAISY-LEIGH

Miah

Boys

Callum Ayrton

Leighton Karrson

Makenzie Joseph

KAIDAN PETER

Lucas Hardy

Kenzie Paul

Norton - one of the fathers' names, but still, I've only ever seen it as a surname up until now.

FINLAY IZAK

Kallan

A lot of the other names were nick-namey (eg. Georgies and Archies, etc.) and at lot the girls names were very "frilly" (eg. Maisies and Millies, etc).

 

 

 

Anyway, the one I found really interesting was: Ava Leodis.

Leodis is Latin for lion and traditionally a male name, but it's also the Latin name of the city where I live: Leeds. 

Chances are it's probably where little Ava Leodis's family lives too, (or there or there abouts) if her birth announcement is in this West Yorkshire-based newspaper.

 Hopefully, that's why they gave her this as her middle name, and not just because they frequent the city-famous pub of the same name.

Anyway, speaking as a Loiner, I think Leodis is pretty cool, although I do think it'd be better on boy, as it's not particularly feminine.

WDYT?

i like callum (but prefer the spelling calum). i also like leighton. is it pronounced like LAY-ton or LEE-ton? i always say it the first way.

Me too. :) I just had this conversation with someone a few days ago... Whether "Leigh" was pronounced LEE or LAY. Leigh and Leighton to me are pronounced LAY and LAY-ton, while Kaleigh and Ashleigh are pronounced KAH-lee and ASH-lee.

Why would you name a girl Beau? I don't particularly like that name anyway, but on a girl? I knew one guy in HS that was named Beau, and he was weird too lol. Ava Leodis is interesting, I like it.

I'd find Evie Summer to be prettier if it didn't make me think of Summer's Eve.

I don't really like the look or sound of Leodis. I'm not much on "leo" names, though.

Actually, 'leo' is Latin for 'lion' and 'leonis' would be the genitive form, which is pretty close to leodis =)
I like the sound of Ava Leodis though! I think I'd like Leodis on a boy, too.
I like the sound of Tienna Ellan, but not the spelling. And I like Sienna better than Tienna.
Miah with an 'h' looks weird to me, but I love Mia!
