I knew from this post you'd be a fire sign, and sure enough your profile says you're an Aries.

I really like Esme. And Nelly spelled as such. And Hero for a boy and Heroe for a girl.

I think Sage is gaining too much popularity.

[schexyschteve.livejournal.com]

Autumn and Ivy are pretty. The rest are bad, in my opinion.

[admirari.livejournal.com]

I would stay away from Jezebel, who people think of as the 1st homewrecker.
love skye, sage, phoenix, quinn, aura (this is new to me!) Ember is VERY sweet!!

Willah - of COURSE i love this. I have a cat named Willabird. I love her name so much!

I knew a little toddler named Jae'Cie. She was dear to me.

Twilight I also like!

[aballard23.livejournal.com]

Please do not name your daughter Jezabelle. :(

I love Autumn, Ivy, Meadow, Skye, Quinn, Zoelie, Tenly, and Esme for girls.

I also like Quinn for a boy, and Rowen- but Rowen definitely is a boy name to me.

I love your taste in names, though! Very unique.

[firerainchild.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I should have thought a little more about Jezabelle, I just liked how it sounded... oops. : )

[aballard23.livejournal.com]

No worries, your kid after all. It just.. yeah. I can see it now! It can always be a guilty pleasure name for you, though! But in the end, we can only really give opinions. :)

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

I like:

Autumn
Ivy
Sage, though it feels somewhat masculine to me
Rowen for a boy

Twilight is pretty, but a bit to extreme for a name IMO.

I really love Esme

Zoelie feels a bit made up to me. Prn like Zoe-Lee [as in the name Zoe with lee on the end] or Zo-lee?

[firerainchild.livejournal.com]

Twilight as a word, beautiful... as a name, I don't know.

I actually found Zoelie on here on someone else's post and kinda liked it. Some of the best names are made up!

[firerainchild.livejournal.com]

lol, yep, I'm an Aries. I like Esme too.

Sage is gaining popularity and that can turn me off to something... but I still kinda like it.

[firerainchild.livejournal.com]

Thanks... your icon is awesome!

[firerainchild.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm starting to second think Jezabelle. Didn't think too much about it, just liked the way it sounded. But I believe in giving little one's the best start they can, and with a name like that.... no, I don't think so. lol, thanks.

Willabird, that is so cute! And I like that spelling of Jacey.

But Twilight as a name??? maybe a middle name, I don't know, it's my husband's favorite.

[joereaves.livejournal.com]

Calleigh is nice. Esme's nice too but old fashioned (not a bad thing).

The rest run the gamut between made up, overly trendy, and very hippie IMO.

[firerainchild.livejournal.com]

Well.... 'I' am very hippie sooo... yeah, : ) and IMO I think that some of the best names are make up, though most of these names are from posts from on here.

[dustkitty.livejournal.com]

I like most of your nature names, but I prefer them spelled like the thing (Rowan & Thyme instead of Rowen & Thime).

I think Ember and Phoenix might be my favorites. I also really like Esme, though.

Twilight reminds me of a girl I knew named Twila (she'd be nearly 30 now). I have both pleasant and unpleasant memories of her, that are making me iffy on both Twila and Twilight, lol.

I like Aura better as a nickname for Aurora or Aurelia, but it's not too bad on its own--just very unusual and IMO a little spacey-sounding.

Nelly is usually a nickname for Ellen rather than a stand-alone (though it can be either), so instead of using an alternate form, you could name the baby Ellen but call her Nell or Nelly. I also like Eleanor as an alternative form, and it's got plenty of short forms for everyday use.

I like Joy, but you might also consider some things that have similar meanings--Leticia means joy, for instance, and Felicia means happy or fortunate. I believe Risa means laughter.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

I like:
Autumn
Ivy
Skye
Quinn
Marcy

[http://users.livejournal.com/_x_blackroses_x/]

I like...

Joy (but prefer Joyce)
Esme
Zuzanna...well, Susannah is more my style, and I'd use Zsa Zsa as a nn.
River, maybe even Rivers
Juniper
Skye
Sage
Ivy!! <3 that one!

[firerainchild.livejournal.com]

Well... my name is Ellen, and I kinda have a hard time naming a little girl the same name... we would both be confused when our name was called, or written, etc. That's why there is a few variations on Ellen on that list. Plus I have the bonus of naming it after my grandma I never met, but named after.

And the same with Joy, being my middle name I would be naming the baby after me, but not directly.

[firerainchild.livejournal.com]

Twila as a nickname for Twilight is something that we have talked about. I am an open-minded person, but Twilight? The only reason it's on the list because my husband likes it. I don't think it will happen though.

I think your right about Aura... but I don't know, I may or may not keep it on the list.

[http://users.livejournal.com/____tonightt/]

You seem really sweet, congrats on the baby! I like the name list, my favorites are:
Autumn
Ivy
Quinn
Aura
Willah
River
Marcy

I also work at a preschool and there are some neat names some of the kids have. There was a girl names Rowen, and her sister is Sorrel. Maybe you would like some of the names; Moxie, Freya, Raina

How can you tell if someone's a fire sign?

[aleadfeather.livejournal.com]

Well aside from the personalities of fire signs, she has fire in her user name and it was associated with a few of the baby names.

[firerainchild.livejournal.com]

: )

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

What are the personalities of fire signs?

I'm just curious, by the way, not trying to start an inquisition or anything. XD

[aleadfeather.livejournal.com]

I generally associate fire signs with being very passionate and free-spirited and energetic and loud. Sometimes quick to anger with low patience. Often the type to wear their heart on the sleeve and be more extroverted and tend to resent others for being more subdued.

[aleadfeather.livejournal.com]

I really like Phoenix, too.

Skye reminds me too much of Skype.

I'm not big on Choice at all. But I generally hate names like Hope, Faith, etc. Names that are actually words.
