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: 2006-02-07 06:15 am (UTC)Noemie I like, it is what we used when we were teaching the story of Ruth in VBS in Mexico (except it was pronounced Root instead of Ruth and Boze instead of Bo-az and No-em-ee instead of Nay-o-mee) I also know a girl who named her child Niomi and pronounces it Nigh-o-mee and she told me that a lot of people think it is still Naomi even though there is no a in it :-p
Midori on anyone not of Japanese descent would make me think of the liquor.
