babynamesMy boyfriend and I were having a "future children" discussion this weekend and we talked about a few things.
I really would love a little boy, but I'd be happy with either of course. and he doesn't really have a preference.
We both like Owen or Jordan for a boy, but when that time comes I'm sure we'll have more names. We haven't really agreed so much on girl names. He doesn't DISLIKE the names I like, but he says that he just has no feeling either way about them.
I like: Mandalyn, Autumn, Layla, Serenity (a name he brought up but is not sure he wants to name his child that), and Ayla (ay-la, not eye-la as i've seen).
we also discussed the middle name situation. He has no middle name (he's spanish), and I do. We decided that if we come up with something awesome, we'll use it, but if not, no middle name is cool too. How do you all feel about the importance of having a middle name?

Date: 2006-03-14 04:52 pm (UTC)If it sounds like a stripper name -- STAY AWAY.
Also, many names work fine in English but are horrible in other languages. For example; I was living in Greece for awhile (we're not Greek, I was there for school) when my cousin here in the States gave birth. She wanted to name the baby Skylar or Skyla, which (while stripper-y) is a pretty normal name...
But in Greek it literally means a female dog, and "whore" or worse in slang.
Needless to say several international phone calls were placed to pursuade her otherwise.
Re: your post --
Owen is precious.
Jordan always makes me think of New Kids on the Block ;)
Out of your girl picks Layla is the only one I like. The rest sound trashy.
Have you considered any Spanish names? I'm Latina, and plan on giving all my children Spanish names. They're so beautiful, and 9 times out of 10 translate well to other languages.

Date: 2006-03-15 08:46 am (UTC)Altough my boyfriend is spanish, I would feel weird using names that were obviously spanish becuase I'm not. I don't know why it would bother me exactly, especially because on sight everyone assumes I'm spanish (dark hair/eyes, big butt), but it would. lol.
