Like so many others, I am not pregnant or planning on have kids for awhile, but I'm obsessed with names, and have been since as long as I can remember. Here is a list of the names I like (most favorite on top)- just wondering what you think. Also, if your mother had named your sisters "Noelle" and "Juliet" and then named you "Matilda" or "Agnes" would you feel... I dunno, cheated, like your name was too simple or dumpy sounding? :o) Also, these are for both first and/or middle names.

I'm going to be perfectly honest: your boys names (with the exceptions of Noah, Peter, Owen, and Milo/Miles) scare the hell out of me.

A lot of your girls names do as well (Viene, Evangelina, Naiya, Valentine, Alide, and Orenda, mostly), but the others are lovely.

Also, if your mother had named your sisters "Noelle" and "Juliet" and then named you "Matilda" or "Agnes" would you feel... I dunno, cheated, like your name was too simple or dumpy sounding?

I'd feel glad she hadn't named me Madlynnemackinzzzyson in order to make me yoonik, personally. Of course, since my parents/their siblings names are Kathy, James, Karen, Martha, Paul, and Adam, and my name is Meagan (my cousins are Kirsten, Karla, Rachel, Rebecca, and Anders), there's not exactly a gap in the preconcieved notions about the names.

yoonik? :o) I honestly did not pick out names just to be unusual, and I hate it when people change a normal name's spelling just to be different.

However, quite a few on my list are or would be only middle names (if that makes a difference) such as Valentine, Linne, Arlo, Koi ... basically the second halves of each list.

i think it totally makes a difference that its a middle name. because a lot of people totally omit their middle name.
