babynamesI'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.

Date: 2006-02-04 01:13 pm (UTC)Midori: It makes me think of booze and animi or some goth kid.
Odette: Love it. Just tell people not to call her Odie.
Lacey: NO. It will sound cute when she is a baby, but what if she wants to study the law one day? Lacey Gray, Esq doesn't sound nearly as solid or professional as Catherine Gray or Elizabeth Gray or even Odette Gray.
Gemma: I like it, but there are a heap o'Emmas in the world already. Maybe go with something like Genevieve or Grace? You still get the G but not the EMMA.
