Initial letters

[toia-nilson.livejournal.com]

Hey guys!

Did you discover that aswell? Counting the amount of names on your list for every single initial letter from A to Z there is one (or maybe two) initial letter that has the largest amount of names. On my list for example the initial letter 'A' has the largest amount of both, girls- (32 names starting with 'A') and boys names (37 names starting with 'A'). The second largest amount of girls names has the initial letter 'M' (31 names). As for the boys names the second largest amount has the initial letter 'C' (22 names). Here are some examples (those marked with a * are my most favourite ones):


Girls 'A'-names:

Ada
Adela*
Adina
Akilah*
Alakina*
Amadea
Andra
Aquinna
Atarah
Audra
Aura
Ava*
Azaria


Girls 'M'-names:

Mabel*
Mairi
Marcellina
Marietta
Medina
Megan
Melana
Midnight
Mina*
Mirabel


Boys 'A'-names:

Adrian
Alan*
Alastair
Alec*
Amadeus
Anakin*
Andras
Andrew
Anthony
Aras
Armand
Arthur
Asa*
Austin


Boys 'C'-names:

Callum*
Cavanagh
Channing
Charles
Charlie
Chauncey
Clay*
Colin
Conor
Constantine


WDY guys think? And which initial letter is the most common one on YOUR favourite names list?

J is the most common for me, but thats because I always had intentions of naming my child a J name since I am one [Jessica] and my mom is one [Jerilyn~ like Marilyn with a J]. But once I got pregnant, the boyfriend didnt like Gianna/Jianna for a girl as much as I do...so we settled on Adrianna :) We've never even talked about boys names, but I like a lot more boys names than girls names so Im glad were having a girl- it was much easier to decide!

For boys I'm a mixed bag, but for girl names I seem to like M names -- Melina, Mireille, Miranda, Marina.

Woops! forgot to say which of your names I like-

Girls: Audra, Ava*, Megan
Boys: Adrian*, Andrew, Anthony, Asa, Connor [with 2 'l's though]

* Those are the ones that I like best :)

I seem to have a lot of A names for boys and girls. Also I have a lot of J, S and M girl names. For boys I don't have that many in general.

I have Adrian, Alastair, Amadeus and Andrew on my list with their meanings as well.

I dont like any of your girls name. Everytime i see Mairi i think of "Mirai" which is Japanese for future (Example: Mirai no Trunks which is Future Trunks, you anime freaks would know. ^_~)

I do like Adrian, Alec, Andrew, and Colin.

I'm against the name Anakin for any child, although it's probably one of the more normal sounding star warsish names...I just hate Anakin skywalker with a passion. Although he was cute in episode 2 as a jedi padawan.

and now I must go pack! *Cackles*

It's pronounced Cah[like cat]-lum, righ?

Jupp!

[toia-nilson.livejournal.com]

It is! I like it very much! :-)

Hee hee!

[toia-nilson.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm no anime freak so I didn't know. ;-) But great you like Alec aswell! I love that name! *g* And concerning Anakin, well... name: yes; for a real child: no. :-P

Happy packing! *lol*

Oh!

[toia-nilson.livejournal.com]

That's cool! I like all those names! :-)

Gee!

[toia-nilson.livejournal.com]

Also 'M'. xD I like Melian, Mireille and Miranda aswell! Shame on me, I forgot Miranda...! *blushes*

*g*

[toia-nilson.livejournal.com]

Nice! I really like Adrianna. :-) Some 'J'-names from my list would be Jemima, Jera, Jona/Joona, Josephine/Josephina, Junia, Juniva or Justina/Justine for a girl or Jason, Jérémie/Jeremy, Jérome/Jerome, Joaquin, Joel, John, Jonathan, Joshua or Julian/Julien for a boy.

Midnight sounds like a cat's name. And Anakin will be teased mercilessly. But I like most of the others.

I don't really have one for boys, i only really love about 6 boys names & it doesnt seem to have anything to do with the letter!

[toia-nilson.livejournal.com]

I like Ethan, Evan and Elliot, too! :-)

[toia-nilson.livejournal.com]

Very nice choice! I'm especially happy about Cavanagh! :-)

[toia-nilson.livejournal.com]

I know that. And I wouldn't consider all of those names for my kids. Definitely not! But I like them. ;-)

[toia-nilson.livejournal.com]

Hee hee, that's cool! :-)

[toia-nilson.livejournal.com]

Yeah, seems like A is a very popular initial letter. ;-) There are also only very few boys- and girls names that I really LOVE, but most of them start with different letters. *g*
