I'm sick and bored, so I figured I'd post my current favorite girls names and see what people think of them.

Noemie: This is my absolute favorite girls name right now. I've never met anyone with this name, but I see it mentioned a lot, and I'm so worried it'll become really popular before I have a little girl.

Midori: This is the name of a great character in one of my favorite books. I love the name, but I'm worried the fact that the liquor connatations will be too much. I don't want people to think I named my little girl after booze!

Another plus to it is that I love a lot of color names, (Violet, Rose) but my child will have a color last name (Gray), so I feel like it'd come off as weird. Midori means green, so I feel like it's a sneaky way of using a color name without it sounding too goofy.

Odette: I love this name, and I love Swan Lake. I don't know if I like the nickname "Odie", though.

Lacey: I think this name is so cute. I've known one little Lacey, and the name was so adorable on her.

Gemma: Not sure why I like this one, but I'm very fond of it.


My SO is dead set on naming our son Malakai Moriarty. The Moriarty bit is kind of crazy, but I like the name Malakai/Malachi, and it'd certainly have a powerful effect when you pulled out the full name on the kid.

Noemie: very cute! I like this a lot.

Midori: instantly a liquor for me.

Odette: I like this too, but it sounds very "old" to me for some reason.

Lacey: Reminds me of Lacey Peterson, sadly.

Gemma: Not my style, but okay.

Malachi: Children of the Corn connotations.
