New...

I meant to join like AGES ago but kept forgetting to xD

But anyway yes I'm new xD I love names, and even though I'm not anywhere near having a child (I'm single lmao), I still like thinking of names for my future children.

My name is Megan btw, middle name Sarah. I don't like it AT ALL, it's too common. Mum & Dad told me Megan wasn't common when I was born (1987), but now I know like five Megan's. And it's funny cos my Mum's name is Margaret and I read that Megan is a variant of Margaret xD And my Dad's name is Mike, so all M's xD

I just wanted to get your opinion on a couple and list my fave names.

My cousin is having a baby in less then two weeks, but she doesn't know the sex. If it's a girl though, her name will be Imara. What do you guys think? Personally, I LOVE it. It's pretty, feminine and it's also one of my fave characters from the Weather Warden book series by Rachel Caine. If it's a boy, he will be called Shawn, which I also love.

And my stepsister has three kids - two boys and a girl, ages 12, 3 and 1. Their names are Johnson, Elijah and Chance. What do you think? Their name ends with 'son' so the oldest is Johnson ___son, poor kid >_>

But here's my lists... under the cut...


GIRLS

Joanne (this is my absolute FAVOURITE girl's name, I love it to bits <3. Jo is good as a nickname)
Cherise
Cheryl
Michelle
May/Maya (my cousin who is having the baby is named May xD)
Marion (kinda oldfashioned but I like it)
Kimberley (I don't like Kim though >_>)
Imara
Nicole
Natasha
Jenny (not Jennifer, I don't like Jennifer)
Maria/Marie

BOYS

David (my absolute FAVOURITE boy's name, it's common but I just adore it, I don't like Dave as a nickname though, just David)
Lewis (my second choice of name, love it)
Duncan
Lee
Jonathan (John is good too and so is Johnny)
Shawn (I prefer it spelt this way instead of Sean)
Daniel
Joshua (with Josh is a nickname)
Ryan (my other cousin named her son this)
Joseph (with Joey as a nickname or just Joe)
Benjamin (my friend named her son this)

So yeah I don't like any weird names, they're all pretty normal.

LOL my stepsister likes to name her kids strange things... these names are even stranger on a bunch of Maori children xD

And yay for liking the names ^_^ I definitely prefer Shawn spelt Shawn, not Sean. Sean looks really... weird to me >_>

This is totally unrelated to names, but I actually had a professor who studied Maori culture...so yeah...good story wasn't it? :-p
