congrats on your baby. :]

of all these names i like

Anthony
Sebastian
Layla Simone
Andrew
Xavier
Sarah
Devon

and was thinking... what kind of name is "dresden praatz"? *boggles

[opalfirefly.livejournal.com]

no idea haha
that name was from my friends list

[solagirl.livejournal.com]

Matelynn. Just when you think this name can't be spelled any worse...

And big brother Bradyen - is this suppose to be Brayden? Or is pronounced Brad-YEN or Brady-EN?

I like these:
Joel Turner
Joseph Whitmire and Benjamin Parker
Scott Emerson
Carter John

i am glad you like my name..
apparently Matelynn was spelled this way because her father is Matthew and I think it is supposed to be Brayden, i just typed too fast

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

Wait...
is that supposed to be pronounced like Mat-uh-lyn? Like Madeleine?

Oh good Lord.

I seriously thought it was Mate-lyn. Like Kate-lyn. Wow. She's going to HATE that name when she's older. Madeleine is gorgeous, why not just name her that way? That is horrendous.

[solagirl.livejournal.com]

It took me a minute too. All I can think of is the toy company Mattel. I thought is was Mate-tell-lynn at first. It is a shame, because Madeleine is a nice name. So is Mattea.

I like your choice of name. I'm adding Emerson to my list. I think I forgot all about it because that's what Teri Hatcher named her daughter. I don't like it on girls though. Most of the names seem fine, but I really don't like Kaleb, hate the K. I'd MUCH prefer Caleb.

Lindsay due in April-- twin boys-- Joseph Whitmire and Benjamin Parker (to be called Whit and Parker, grr pet peeve) -- I'm guessing you hate the middle names being used as firsts. Esp since if you're the parent why not just switch the names around. Why is she picking it out this way, if you know?

[opalfirefly.livejournal.com]

i wqould prefer Caleb as well
and yes i hate middle names used as firsts. if the child picks it that way, then thats their choice. I think the are calling Joseph Whitmire "whit" because thats her maiden name and her father pasted just a year before they got married. so its to honor him. and i guess when they found out it was 2 boys they wanted to continue with the middle name thing
:( ugh

Aww congrats! I really like the names you chose.

I like Hunter Aiden and Benjamin Parker (yeah, why not just call the kids Whimire and Parker then? idk)

[britnibear.livejournal.com]

Its funny that you say that because I feel like its all girls being born. Anyone I know who just had a baby, had a girl, and everyone I know that is pregnant is having a girl. Same with customers I have at Nordstrom, I feel like very few are having boys haha.

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! And nice pick on the name:) Scott definitely isn't one I'd ever use (I've never been fond of the name), but that's definitely a personal issue with it, and it's a great name. And I love Emerson and they sound great together.

I like:
John
Anthony Christopher
Sebastian Nicholas
Luke Andrew
Nolan
Joseph & Benjamin (but why would they use the crappy middle names? Joseph and Benjamin are such great names!!)
Kaleb Alexander - hate the spelling, love the name. Caleb is so much nicer.
Alexander Joseph
Joel
Annabelle

Most are 'okay', but Matelynn is absolutely horrendous, as are Kingston, Teegan (even as a middle) and Dresden Praatz.


Caylin Daniel might actually be a boy's name? You didn't list a gender, so I don't know if you didn't know or something. It's used on both - I believe it's originally a Gaelic boy's name? I could be wrong, though. The spelling looks very feminine to me, though.

[opalfirefly.livejournal.com]

caylin is a girl

[opalfirefly.livejournal.com]

also I would have never picked Scott either, but it was my husbands favorite name and i got the middle name i wanted

Congrats!

They say we're in another baby boom and that boys have finally taken over girls.

Actually, I did hear somewhere that right now there is a baby boom :]

[ugottafriend.livejournal.com]

Love the name Scott! Congrats!!!

Of both the parents and the kids, I like:
Becca
Chris
Anthony Christopher
Alex
Nicholas
Simone
Erica
Daniel - what did you mean by you hoped Daniel was his last name? It's a nice name (that is a first name much more than it's a surname), especially compared to his first.
Luke Andrew
Adam
Robin
Joseph
Benjamin
Alexander
Megan Elizabeth
Alexander Joseph
Joel
Megan
Sarah

[the-good-ship.livejournal.com]

Just read above that Caylin Daniel is a girl.
Now I agree with you. :D

[maeda.livejournal.com]

I think Dresden and Kingston are nice names. I'm all about the offbeat ones.
