Hi! I'm new here!

Hey guys!

I'm Victoria (yet 21 years old) from Germany and I really LOVE names (although I'm neither a mom, nor pregnant, nor do I have a husband/fiancé/boyfriend with whom I'm planning to get...)! :-) I'm studying English Language and Literature and I'm in my 4th semester now (out of 9).

Anyways, I thought I'd just introduce myself to you briefly and then go on by posting my Top 5 favourite girls- and boys names here. *g* The (hit-) list is the following (in order of likability):


GIRLS:

1. Sorsha (SOR-sha)
2. Ivy
3. Alakina (ah-la-KEE-na)
4. Adela (ah-DEH-la)
5. Idina/Mabel (ee-DEE-na)


BOYS:

1. Asa (AY-sa)
2. Liam
3. Phileas (fil-LEE-uhs)
4. Ingvar (ING-vuhr)
5. Ethan/Anakin


So WDYT, guys? ;-)

Cheers,


*~Mrs. Toia Nilson~*

I really like Ivy. I like Sorsha, too, even though it makes me think of the wicked queen's daughter from Willow (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096446/). Still a neat sounding name, though.

As for boys, I absolutely adore Ethan, and I like Liam. Not to fond of the rest, though I suspect it's more cultural than anything else. ;)

Guess what?

You'll laugh, but that's exactely where I got that name from! Sorsha, the red-headed warrior princess, daughter of evil queen Bavmorda. *g* I love that movie and I love the name! Joan Whalley is great as Sorsha and I think her character is a positive one because she fortunately turns out to be one of the good ones at the end and helps Willow and Madmartigan to fight her evil mother. To me she's, besides Willow and Madmartigan, the third hero (or in this case heroine) of the movie and I fell in love with her name ever since I saw Ron Howard's "Willow" for the very first time when I was 14 or 15. :-)

But Ivy, Ethan and Liam are great, too of course! ;-)

Ha, really? That's so awesome! I adored Sorsha. I'd just be afraid that my daughter would be teased for being named after a fantasy movie character if I were to name her that. I think, ultimately, though, that Willow's not quite popular enough for that to be a problem, but I still think I'd be hesitant to use it. It is pretty, though.

I really adore Sorsha, too! I don't think that a kid with a name from a fantasy movie would get teased. I'd rather think that the other kids would consider it as cool. Anyway, I also think that not too many people here in Germany know that movie, the youngsters the least. So really, I don't think that would be a problem at all (fortunately)! :-)
