I am sooo bored so I decided to post my list of my ABSOLUTE favorite names... I have a weird taste in names but I am probably not going to be able to use them anyway. I live in South America (I was raised in the States though) and my whole family is hispanic and they HATE my choice in names because they mostly can't pronounce them. 

My top two right now are:

1. Sage (Girl, but could work for a boy too?)
2. Cyan (Boy, but could work for a girl too?)

Girls:

Aurora
Paloma
Lyric
Livia
Magnolia
Violet
Lucretia or Lucrecia (the C would be the way it would be spelled in spanish)
Harley
Belladonna

Boys:

Benjamin
David (though if I use this my family would KILL me, because it is the name of my ex husband)
Andrew
Kylen
Nathaniel
Thomas
Tobias
River
Paul

and I am kind of stuck on those...

As for names I love and I would probably never use (I've probably used them on characters and can't get past that)

Rory (B) (I looove this)
Rordan (B) (Ditto with Rory, I ADORE this name)
Damien (B/G)
Aeryn (G)
Vincent (B)
Raven (G)
Jordan (G)

 Opinions?

Note: Kylen, Belladonna. Livia, Lyric and Paul are names of characters too.... but they don't hit me as much as the other ones...

I'll probably post more later.

My brother's name is Sage - we went to elementary school with another boy named Sage, too. :D

I looove the name Sage but in spanish it would be pronounced Suh-heh and it doesn't sound pleasing =(

Hahah too bad your family wouldn't like David >_>

David's my fave boy's name <333

I love Benjamin too, one of my best friends' son is named that and it suits him ^_^

i really love nathaniel and violet. those are both on my list. i like olivia too, but dont like just livia, it looks incomplete.

[illy-borgia.livejournal.com]

Thank you for your opinion! I love Violet but in spanish it sounds so shoppy... so here they would add an 'a' so it would sound like a maid's name -_-

I love your taste in names!

And my boyfriend and I have the same problem. I'm American & he's Colombian and whenever I mention a name that I like he goes "I could never use that, my parents won't be able to pronounce it!"

[illy-borgia.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Doesn't that suck!? My mom is colombian. Does he insist on using the 'full' name version of names? Like I have 4 names, my frist name, middle name, dad's last name and mom's last name. When I am in the US though I tend to drop one last name.

Sage is one of my favourite names, but only for boys. Aurora is my least favourite name for girls, so obviously, not a fan, but I do really like Lyric and Violet. I think that Magnolia and Belladona are just a bit too flowery for me.

I like Benjamin, but only Benjamin and Benji, never Ben. I kind of like River.

[illy-borgia.livejournal.com]

Magnolia and Belladonna are long too... I know the children wouldn't have my last name in America but they will if I stay living here so their name would be Belladonna 'middle name' 'father's last name' V_______ (8 letter last name).... so that would be mighty long. If I use Belladonna then she'll end up being called 'Buh-ya' and I hate that too =(
