Heyy, I'm Hannah, I'm fifteen, and definitly not pregnant, nor planning on being pregnant anywhere in the near future, I just really really love names. So, here's my list of my favorite names, or what I plan on naming my kids if I have any.

Boys:
Sebastien Finn
Jasper Charles
Sheppard Jackson

Girls:
Elinor August
Esther Susannah
Joannah Belle


Middle names/spellings that sort of things change frequently, though. ahah


Also! My family is adopting a baby boy in March and we already have his name picked out: Charles Sawyer. He'll go by Sawyer.


Comments and things are lovely.

beautiful named! I LOVE Eleanor but spelled traditionally (since it's a classic and traditional name, it seems wrong to alter it so much)

Thanks! I actually love the spelling Elinor because Sense and Sensibility is one of my favorite books, and movies, and the main charatchers name is Elinor Dashwood.

ooh then hey, i don't know what i'm talking about, heh heh. That's a classic book so yeah, not a problem. I'd just never seen it before so I made assumptions. :P

Elinor is the traditional spelling. Eleanor was a French variation of a different name. The two were confused after Eleanor of Aquitane was Queen of England and rose to power as the mother of Richard the Lionhearted. She spelled her name Alienor and pronounced it al-ee-AY-nor. And the British citizens adopted it. Over time the traditional Elinor and Alienor merged into: Eleanor.

is there a difference in pronunciation then? I have a friend who spells it Eleanor but it's pronounced El-en-uh...i suppose it would make more sense if it was spelt Elena. I also know of El-en-or's... spelt Eleanor.
