my name list

[mykissmightkill.livejournal.com]

 So I'm prob still a few years away from kids but I just figured I'd post my list of favorite names/combos and see if anyone had any suggestions bout them :)
I'm kinda picky for girls names, theres few I love, and while i have a sort of abundance of family boys names Id use for mn's, 1st names are harder to come by that i like as well so my list isnt large.

Girls: #1 is the one im set on using. The other two are just b/c i like them a lot and figure i should have more than just one name that i like haha..
1. Tessa  Carmella Renee - NN- Tess, This is prob the only girl name that I would want 2 middle names for. Carmella for my mom and grandma who passed 2 yrs ago, and Renee because I love it with Tessa.

2. Isabella Michelle- michelle is my sisters name

Audrey Heather - just kinda like the combo but I'm not completely in love with it.

Boys:
James Robert- always loved James. Robert is my dads middle name, though its not one that HAS to stay there. just a thought
or
James Gary - Garys my dad's first name

Jude Aaron- looove jude and have always liked aaron. no particular reason for either of them though.

Jace Neil- Neil after my pop-pop

Those are combos I really love. As for other names, I like/kinda like:
Lucy - just think its really cute
Grace-cute and grandma's name
Annalise- prettyname just like the sound of it
Tegan- prn Tea-gen
Lena- prob woudlnt use cuz my cousins daughter is this
Layla- like the clapton song! i just like it
Steven- also my bf's name, well sorta, his birth certificate says Steve
Kyle
Brenden
Anthony
Zachery or Zackery-i dont know if this is common, with the k i mean. but I knew someone with it as Zack and it didnt seem abnormal to me.
David
Paul

On another note, I was on another livejournal community that posts wedding pictures and from there a found the gallery off a photographers website. Listed were names of the couples she had photographed  with album covers of the couples and they were all pretty common and normal seeming names till I got to one gallery of Ryan and his white, blonde female wife named:   "Phuket" ...ive never heard this before and it struck me as VERY awkward and odd.

Tessa Carmella Renee - i like tess, but i'm not a fan of tessa. also, the double "a" ending in tessa carmella is kind of odd to me. if you're going to call her tess anyway, maybe you could just make tess the first name. i think tess carmella renee sounds really pretty.

Isabella Michelle - i like isabella and i think it's nice to honor your sister. but again, the double "elle" makes the combo sound weird.

Audrey Heather - heather is so 80's to me, while audrey is more classic and old-fashioned. i don't like the combo, but i like audrey as a name itself.


James Robert- i love james, but not any of the nicknames for it (jim, jimmy, jamie)

James Gary - again, i love james, but i've never liked gary.

Jude Aaron - i love jude too. :] i'm pretty neutral on aaron.

Jace Neil- neil is okay. jace sounds so new millennium and made up to me. =/


Lucy - i like lucia, lucinda, luca, and lucille more than lucy.
Grace -pretty, but has become a filler middle name unfortunately.
Annalise - i knew a terrible girl in pre-school name annalise, but i think she spelled it annelise? anyway, i just can't like it because of her. haha.
Tegan - i like it.
Lena - i've grown to love this name. pronounced LEE-na, right?
Layla - very pretty and the song is great. :]
Steven - not too wild about it.
Kyle - it's okay.
Brenden - i like it spelled brendan better. i like brandon too.
Anthony - never liked it, plus i think tony as a nickname is terrible. =/
Zachery or Zackery - i like zachary (spelled that way. i've never seen zachery) and i like the nickname zack, but i feel like if i named a kid zachary and wanted to give him a nickname, i'd have to spell is zach, rather than zack..and i don't like the way zach looks. anyway, i like it, but wouldn't use it.
David - ex-boyfriend. no thanks. :P
Paul - i like it. simple and classic.

Yeah I was going back and forth between Tess and Tessa. I tend to like Tess better anyway. It will probably be Tess.
I don't mine the double elle sound but that name isnt set in stone like the first one is so it could change.
I def agree with the nicknames for James though, i dont like them either, but my sister has a friend named james and he doesnt go by any of those names so it could work out if i dont ever call him anything else :)

I dont know if ill ever use lucy but of the names you suggested, ive never really been fond of any of them, their just not really my style.
And yeah, lena is prn: Lee-na :) i think its such an adorable name.
I prefer brenden over brandon in terms of how you say it. i knowsomeone who spells it brenden so thats why i typed it that way but im not opposed to brendan.
also i like the name david but prob wouldnt use it as im in the same boat as you in that i have TWO ex's named david haha.

Gasp! Being a Tessa is a very special thing. I've met few Tessas in my life (can count them all on one hand), and we've always been a bit smug about being a Tessa, and not a Tess. Because a Tessa can always choose to go by Tess, but a Tess is locked away from the two syllable original without recourse.

Being a Tessa and meeting another Tessa is always an extraordinary event, or has been in my experience. It's not like being a Katie and meeting another Katie or Katy or Caity.

I would absolutely, positively vote for giving a potential daughter the full Tessa. I couldn't have asked for a better name, not out of the millions and millions of names in the world.

Hmmm well I do get what youresaying. I love Tess little more than Tessa for the way it sounds but at the same time I considered Tessa b/c it sounds a little more complete. i have time todecide though so we'll see in the future lol:)
