My favorite baby names...

[herminia.livejournal.com]

Not expecting (or expecting to be expecting any time in the next ten years!)... I'm just a longtime baby name afficionado.

[Poll #1140152]

My five favorite boys' names are Jesse, Sam, Miles, Noel and Henry. My five favorite girls' names are Matilda (yes, long before I knew the late Heath Ledger's daughter was named that), Amelia, Lydia, Liza and Nolia.

I love love love love love your taste in names. Jesse, Miles, Sam, and Henry have all been on boy's list at one point or another, and so have Amelia, Lydia, and Eliza.

In the poll, I didn't vote for: Thad, because I like it as a nickname for Thaddeus but not on it's own; Noel, because I like it as a middle name, but I think it'd be harder for a boy to pull of as a first name, and nobody would pronounce it like Joel, they'd all say No-el; Ramona because it always makes me think of the books; Paige, Gwendolyn, Nolia, Kerstin, and Mallory for a variety of reasons, mostly because I just don't like them or because they're hard to spell/pronounce (Nolia & Kerstin).

My favorite combo would be Adrian Noel or Caleb Henry, and Eliza Margaret or Lydia Caroline.
