I'm not pregnant, nor do I have any children, but I am completely obsessed with names. I posted a list of names a couple of months ago, but, like the seasons, my favorite names are constantly changing, so I thought I'd post my new list and see what people think! My style tends to be a mix of traditional/modern names, I think, without a lot of scary alternative spellings and "out there" names.  I'm also currently into Irish-y names for boys, and Italian names for girls.  And popular names don't scare me away, whether they be in the top one hundred or top ten.  Names in bold are ones that I am particularly fond of.

I like every single one of your boy names.

For the girls: I've never liked Makayla or Akayla or Kayla or any of those. I dont know why, but the rest are rpetty good. Besides maybe Serena, I'll always think of the Tennis player.

Good Lists.

You have a good taste in names :)

Thank you. :)

My cousin's daughter's name is Olivia and we all call her Lia (like, drop the "O" and the "vi". Don't ask; but I think it's adroable.

Love all your names!

Thanks!

I love Tristan for a boy, buy unfortuantely my husbands boss' son is named Tristan so I would feel dumb taking it even though we may move out of state lol!

Hayden is cool, never heard of Caden but I like it. Logan is cute too.

I like Addison for a girl, I was actually thinking of using it. I like the nickname Addy. :-)

[krosp.livejournal.com]

do you pronounce Serena as "Sereena" or "Serenna" ?

[ouronlylight.livejournal.com]

I pronounce it as "Sereena", with a long E sound (like the word "serene", plus an A at the end).
