Name Nerds Anonymous

[bandnerd88.livejournal.com]

Hi, my name is Megan, I'm 20, and I'm a name nerd. :D

Seriously, I am. I'm not pregnant, won't be having kids for six or so years. I just looove names. (I think it's because I was born in the middle of the Megan boom, and so my name is rather common and I've never liked that about it.) But I'm not alone, so it's all good! Anyway, I've got a name list if anyone wants to check it out: http://www.babynames.com/namelist/9546796

For the record, all my kids will probably have two middle names, one of which will be a family name. I've got a couple three name combos for my top names - everything else I'm just playing with.

That list is only a small sampling of my favorites. I have a huge list of approximately 320 names. I like names from all kinds of styles. Old fusty names, top 100 names, unusual names, girly names, unisex names, you name it. Pretty much the only name styles I generally don't like are kre8tyf and boy names on girls.

Also, very few of those combos are solid, so if you have any suggestions/comments, let me know. :)

just wanted to say my middle name is valentine, sarah valentine to be exact ahah

Neat! I love Valentine as a middle name. Unfortunately I probably won't be able to use it because my boyfriend's last name has a long "I" sound at the end so it sounds sing-songy with Valentine, but I like it very much in theory. :)

I really liked Naomi Jasmine and Gideon Titus

I really like most of them.

Did you get Elanor from Lord of the Rings?

[bandnerd88.livejournal.com]

Yep. :) That and I really like the sound of Elanor, but Eleanor looks clunky and heavy and reminds me of elephants. Elanor is more streamlined.

Anna Melody sounds really pretty. I really like saying it, it's so nice.

I love Linus! I think it's so cute. I kind of want twin boys named Linus and Dexter. And they will definitely have glasses. =P

Linus Milo is my favourite of the boys, and Anna Melody is my favourite of the girls. Anna is my top girls name right now and Melody is really pretty.

In Greek mythology Linus was apparently the music teacher of Herakles. Being that I want to be a music teacher, I thought that was pretty cool. :D The only thing I worry about is that my boyfriend's last name starts with "Nes" so the -nus Nes- thing sounds a bit off. His last name is rather obstructive when it comes to making combos. :P

Dexter is an awesome name! :D

Anna used to be my top girls' name a couple years ago, but it was replaced by Colette. I do love Anna though.

I really like Rowan Leopold Allan, Anna Melody and Diana Valentine. Really nice.

The rest is not really my style though, but not bad!

Thanks. :) I figured a lot of them wouldn't be peoples' style, and I'm cool with that.
