More lists, more names

[miss--nikki.livejournal.com]

My sister and I had created a list we amde (very quickly) of names we maybe liked. I thought I lost it, but I just found it today.

Here is what's on it. I'm adament about having a girl so these are only girl names. (I won't know what we are having until another 3.5 weeks though.)

Ella
Layla
Elise
Georgia
May or Mae I don't know
Summer
Mable
Belle
Starla (my sisters fave, but she's weird)

What do people think of Jane? I know it's plain Jane, but how many people do you actually know with that name? (Now, I'll get 100 comments of 50 million people who know Janes) I have always though it was cute.

I like:
Ella, Layla, Georgia, Summer & Belle

One of my friends' favorite name is Jayne (she adds a 'y' so it doesn't look so 'plain jane')... I don't know if I like it... maybe as a middle name?

[miss--nikki.livejournal.com]

I like it just spelled Jane... I know I hate having to constantly spell my name for people.

[ladyofmoonlight.livejournal.com]

I actually really like Jane, and I've never known a Jane either. I know a Jan, and I've known a Janna, but no Jane's yet.

Nice list :)
I like Summer the best, but I'm big on the seasonal names.
I know too many Ella's, and Belle was kind of the name of my (boy) dog growing up so I don't think I'll ever see that as a good girl's name.

[miss--nikki.livejournal.com]

Cool thank you :-)

You had a male dog named Belle?... that's as bad as my friends male dog named Cheyenne (which is also my moms name hehe) how funny!

[ladyofmoonlight.livejournal.com]

Hey, they asked me to name him, and I was 4 at the time! I can't exactly recall it as it was 19 years ago, but I think my sister made two lists, one with boy dog names and one with girl dog names. I don't know why she made the girl list, but hey, she was a kid too. She tried to get me to name him Max, but I thought Belle was prettier, and he was a pretty, pretty dog (half samoyed, half black lab). Later on we tried to change it to Bill or Billy, but that didn't work. Even later on we added an 'H' so it was Bhelle. He was a wild one and we though "hell" needed to be in his name somewhere. That and Bhelle didn't look quite as girly. Maybe.

Haha, your friend's dog and your mom have the same name? That's cute!

[miss--nikki.livejournal.com]

Haha that's cute :-)

[opalfirefly.livejournal.com]

i love Starla... i had it on my list but my S/O didnt like it...

[miss--nikki.livejournal.com]

It reminds me of like a barbie or something... or maybe Jem I don't know! I think it's cute sounding though for sure!

[mysticamor.livejournal.com]

and jem was truly outrageous....sorry...I couldn't resist :)

[miss--nikki.livejournal.com]

Haha, yes... yes she was ;-)

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

I know one Jane and she is 22 I think.

[miss--nikki.livejournal.com]

Me too :-)

[miss--nikki.livejournal.com]

Oh but she lives in California, and I'm in Arizona. Not that it mattters. (I went to high school with her)

[checkingmypulse.livejournal.com]

i LOVE Jane. and what about Bella? i think that's so cute!

[miss--nikki.livejournal.com]

I agree!

[lolacat.livejournal.com]

Jane is pretty!

[jennifergroovy.livejournal.com]

The only Jane's I know are 40 and over. Darling for a baby because nobody uses it now.

Belle and Bella have become too trendy.

I like Georgia. Ella is nice but have you thought about Elle?

[miss--nikki.livejournal.com]

Yeah I was thinking abotu Elle tonight. :-)

[jennifergroovy.livejournal.com]

Elle Anastasia

Elle Harmony

Elle Heather

Elle Miranda

Just a few ideas...

[miss--nikki.livejournal.com]

Hmm that's a toughie... I can think of a mn I like.

[lolzabeth.livejournal.com]

Georgia, Mae and Elise are pretty.

I think Georgia Mae flows really well.

The only Jane's I know are 50 odd. Personally, I don't like it.

[miss--nikki.livejournal.com]

Ohhh!! I like that Georgia Mae... does it go with Martin though? Georgia Mae Martin... hmmm :-) I wonder what my husband will think of Georgia lol haven't even asked!

[lolzabeth.livejournal.com]

Georgia Mae Martin... I thunks that works. I like it :)
What does your husband think?

[katie-oo7.livejournal.com]

I like Elise and Mabel (She can always go by May).

Jane is one of my favorite names. I know a Jane and a Janey.

[composure.livejournal.com]

I like Mae.
I only know one Jane, who's in her 50s.
I have a feeling the kid would get asked about Tarzan a lot, though.

[miss--nikki.livejournal.com]

LOL I didn't think of that...

[whisperthewords.livejournal.com]

Ella: Love it! Love Ellie too.
Layla: She'll get sung to all the time, but it is a pretty name.
Elise: So pretty!
Georgia: This was my crazy great-grandmother's name, so I associate it with her.
May or Mae I don't know: It's a cute name. I prefer Mae, so it's associated less with the month.
Summer: I love Summer! I want to use it when I have a little girl, but my SO hates it.
Mable: Mabel? It's alright. I don't like it for some reason, but I can't figure out why.
Belle: Cute.
Starla: Really don't like it.

I've only known one Jane. I like the name. Cute, classic, simple, not too common. Janie is a cute nickname too.

[miss--nikki.livejournal.com]

Thanks for your input :-)

[a-purple-dream.livejournal.com]

I like the names Belle and Layla (spelled Laila, but that's just me).

[magcnurserybaby.livejournal.com]

I adore Starla, I thought I was the only one, lol!! I have always pushed for that name but hubby won't have it, he said it is a stripper name.

I also like Summer and Belle, but I prefer Bella.

Good luck with your girl, I've been trying for a girl for years and all boys so far :(

[miss--nikki.livejournal.com]

Oh my... how many boys do you have hehe? Everyone but my closet friend is praying for a girl. (She wants it to be a boy.) Hehehe! Thanks for the good luck, unfortunately it's been decided... I just don't know yet.

Starla totally reminds me of a stripper name.

I liek Bella too.

[magcnurserybaby.livejournal.com]

Lol, only two so far. We are starting on #3 April 1st, day after my bday.

[miss--nikki.livejournal.com]

Oh ok GOOD LUCK to you both!!!! :-)

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

i love jane. it's my middle name. i think it's good as either a first or a middle. it's classic, but not so common anymore.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

jane is nice, i dig it. also from your list that i like: ella, summer, mae (which was my grandmothers nickname - her real name was mary), and belle.

[mysticamor.livejournal.com]

I actually don't know any body named Jane. I never thought about it before. haha.

The names I like that you posted are:
Ella
Layla
Elise
Georgia
Belle
Starla

[namegirl.livejournal.com]

hehe, I know an Ella and a Georgia who are sisters. Ella is short for Eleanor. I like both of those, as well as Elise and Layla.

Jane is nice but I only knew two Janes. One was the sweetest girl in the world, the other was a butch lesbian. For some reason, it's the butch that sticks in my head when I think of the name :/

[miss--nikki.livejournal.com]

Because the bad is usually easier to remember. I only knew one Jane and she was just a doll so i always associate it with good people luckily.

[quiet-recluse.livejournal.com]

I like:

Ella
Layla
Jane

I don't know any Janes; I think it got a reputation for being common way back when so people stopped using it so much and now it's probably not that common at all.

[babyhoyt.livejournal.com]

I love love love and more love Jane. and look! it isn't common at all! My husband hates it though, so I have had to put it as a middle name. He doesn't know that I still plan to call that kid by her full name, hehe

[scintillated.livejournal.com]

I don't know anyone named Jane. Heh.

I like Layla (good song) and Elise (or Elyse).

[miss--nikki.livejournal.com]

I like it spelled Elyse :-)

[paperboat118.livejournal.com]

I love the name Jane. I think it's so gorgeous.
I know a little girl named Briella Maeryn [May-rin], and I suppose that incorporates Elle/a, Bella, Mae/May.
We call her Ella, Ella Mae when she's being cute. [she's 2]
