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.


Phineas
Hero
Risto
Xavier
Noah
Kael
Hayden
Doran
Maddock/Maddox
Peter
Arlo
Koi/Koy
Alton
Owen
Milo/Miles
Linus

Noelle-
Juliet
Agnes/Agatha
Viene
Matilda
Ophelia
Helena
Evangelina
Naiya
Valentine
Violet
Linne
Alida
Isolde
Orenda
Nell

Actually, I found the Phineas means "Oracle" in Hebrew. It's an English version of an Egyptian name. I agree that Hayden is too popular now, but I still love it. Arlo, Koi, Alton, Owen, Milo and Linus (just like the Peanuts character) would all be middle names only.

Viene- like the city Vienna with the "a." Vee-en. I don't think that many people listen to My Chemical Romance for them to instantly think of them when they hear the name Helena. Plus, I'm not having kids now, so who knows how popular they'll be either when I have kids or when my kids are older (when people they meet might say, "Oh like the MCR song!") I also don't think that names should reflect the season they were born (Noelle or Valentine). If I did have a daughter born in December I would purposely NOT name her Noelle. And Valentine would only be a middle name. Linne is with an accented "e"- Linn-ay. It's my great-great grandmother's name. Violet is my grandmother's name. Also both only middle names. Isolde- middle name, and no not like the new movie, like the medieval love story. Also where I got Juliet and Ophelia (from Shakespeare). Quite a few of my names are from literature (Phineas is from A Separate Peace by John Knowles). Evangelina, I would def. call her Eva.

I'm not saying everyone else will think of MCR when they hear the same Helena, but I personally, do.
