New girl

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone! I've posted a few comments so I thought I'd join. :) I'm Rosalie Margaret Duryee (no stalkers please). The E on the end of my name is supposed to have an accent on it, but it gets left off so often we don't worry about it anymore.

I used to be Rosie, but now I go by Rose. Plain and lovely. :)

I'm still a newlywed, and we are too selfish and poor for kids. Someday I want to adopt a Hispanic child.

Girls:
Katelynn
Addyson
Corrina
Elena
Isabel (NOT Isabella though)
Savannah
Katarina (when I was young I loved Katarina Witt, and it stuck)

Boys:
Austin Christopher (Chris is my husband's name)
Memphis Alexander (he came up with this, and I used to make fun of it. Now I really like it.)
Josiah
Asher
Emanuel (pronounced Ay-manuel)
Alejandro

Girls:
Katelyn- ooooh very trendy & popular. I would definetly stick to Caitlin for the spelling, Katelyn looks too fussy & weird.
Addyson- Looks like maddison but without the M, the Y in there looks odd. I don't personally like it.
Corrina- Not a fan
Elena- Pretty, i know an Eleni & i always loved that
Isabel (NOT Isabella though)- Love it. I prefer the way you have spelt it (as in, not isobel)
Savannah- It's okay...
Katarina- I don't like this name, for some reason i don't like any Katherine-y names.

Boys:
Austin Christopher (that's my husband's name)
Memphis Alexander- OMG please nooooo... this is awful, that's taking place names just one step too far!
Josiah- It's okay
Asher- I like this a lot
Emanuel- Dislike, probably beacuse i knew a horrible boy named this so... i'm based
Alejandro- It's okay.

I like all of your girls' choices but Katarina.

I like Austin Christopher, Memphis Alexander, Josiah and Asher.


Welcome!

Hi and welcome!

Girls:
Katelynn - I don't like the name, but Katelyn is my favorite spelling of it.
Addyson - I'm not sure how to pronounce it, but Addison seems like it should be a boy's name to me.
Corrina - Reminds me of alcohol? haha, I don't know when.
Elena- I like it, it reminds me of Eleanor which I like a lot too.
Isabel - I love it but I like it spelled Isabelle.
Savannah - It's alright. Maybe a middle name?
Katarina - Don't like it a lot, but it could spawn the cutest nicknames.

Boys:
Austin Christopher - I don't like Austin but Christopher is nice.
Memphis Alexander - I don't like it at all. :\ Memphis?
Josiah - It's alright.
Asher - Love it!
Emanuel - HATE it.
Alejandro - Don't know how to pronounce it at all so I won't even go there, haha!

I like Corrina but with one R. I also like Alejandro too.

[newreflections.livejournal.com]

Im naming my daughter Katelyn =]

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

Yay! It's my favorite. I know it's popular and trendy, but I love it. I like Kate and I like Lynn and I like all names that end in N...

what's her middle name?

[newreflections.livejournal.com]

Jeannette, its my grandmothers name =]

[thunderofsins.livejournal.com]

my full first name is Jeanette, its definately not a popular one! I have only ever met two other Jeanettes (one with one "n" like me, one with two) in my life. (and Katelyn is my future sister-in-laws name) :)

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

Girls:
Katelyn- I like "Caitlin" better
Addyson- Noy my style... sorry.
Corrina- It's OK
Elena- ok
Isabel (NOT Isabella though)- either one is pretty
Savannah- Not my style at all... I don't see the appeal
Katarina- It sounds sooo snobby...

Boys:
Austin Christopher - Both good names... Christopher is very common though, good middle name
Memphis Alexander - I like "Alexander", name your pet "Memphis", not your child.
Josiah- good middle name
Asher- I love this name
Emanuel- I've never liked this name, it sounds like "a manual" to me...
Alejandro- meh.

I love all of your girls' names, though I'd spell Katelynn as Katelyn, Addyson as Addison, and Isabel as Isabelle (though that's French, and not Spanish, which is probably what you were going for).

I like Austin, but I'm not overly fond of your other boys' names. I don't hate any of them, though. All in all, you have a really nice list.

[turtle-mom.livejournal.com]

I love Katelyn - I was going to name my next daughter Katherin Lyn and call her "Katie Lyn" or "Kate Lyn" (Lyn is my mother's middle name) BUT my father married a Catherine, so I didn't feel like I wanted to name a child after her! Besides I'm on my second boy and third child, so I don't think there will be another girl in my future!

I like all the names. Least fav girl is Elena, Lease fav boy is Emanuel (people won't pronounce it the way you have suggested... it would be a constant battle!)

Favorite boy name? Austin and Asher.

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

Thanks everyone for your opinions! I was looking over my list a little, and I think I don't like Katarina at all anymore. Isn't that weird? I saw it typed so many times and just thought...no way. We're not Russian, that's probably why.

The Memphis thing is so funny. When my husband suggested it, I thought I was going to kill him. Can you imagine an Austin, Memphis and a Savannah in the same family? All Southern cities! And we're from Seattle, not the South! LOL. Anyhoo, I like them all isolated, but not together. Obviously.

I also hate names that I have associated with people I don't like. LOL.

Nice to meetcha'll!

The name Asher is getting so popular, soon every little boy is going to be named Asher. I love it I just don't like how everyones grabbing at it all of a sudden.

[razzbabies.livejournal.com]

we're naming our daughter Elena :)

[museofmyself.livejournal.com]

Girls:
Katelynn: MUCH too popular for my taste.
Addyson: Too trendy for me.
Corrina: Pretty.
Elena: Very nice. My middle name is Elena but prn. "Ee-lee-nah". My Mom is weird. ;)
Isabel (NOT Isabella though): Very pretty, I especially love the spelling Isobel.
Savannah: Too popular for my taste.
Katarina (when I was young I loved Katarina Witt, and it stuck): Nms, but pretty.

Boys:
Austin Christopher (that's my husband's name): Uhhh, nms.
Memphis Alexander (he came up with this, and I used to make fun of it. Now I really like it.): LOVE it. Memphis is fabulous and I'm adding it to my list!
Josiah: I have never liked this name, I don't know why. Jnms, I guess.
Asher: Love it.
Emanuel (pronounced Ay-manuel): Nmsaa.
Alejandro: Not bad, it could grow on me.

[museofmyself.livejournal.com]

Btw, I LOVE your name. Rosalie Margaret is fabulous. :)

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

Aaawww thanks! I've never met anyone who liked it. I always though it was an embarassing middle name.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

katelynn - seems excessive, its a pretty name though, i would spell it caitlin or kaitlin.
addyson - just isnt very nice, and the y makes it even more horrible.
corrina - id never use it but im torn about it. i love the dylan song 'corrina corrina' but i knew a girl all through grammar and high school with the name carina and she was a nasty mean girl. so, i have bad connotations.
elena - ok just a little boring.
isabel - gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous.
savannah - have always loved it.
katarina - theres just something about it that i dont like.

austin - yuck. i hate it, with a passion.
memphis - love it love it love it!!
josiah - i know someone who named their boy that, bad connotations again, but thats just me, obviously.
asher - adore it. one of my favorites.
emanuel - i could get used to it.
alejandro - if it fits yours or the childs heritage (or both) its okay, for sure. if not, it would just seem silly.

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

I agree about Alejandro. Wouldn't work for us. We're so white our baby's going to be see-through. LOL.

My opinions...

[thunderofsins.livejournal.com]

Katelynn - I like it, prefer with one "n" though
Addyson - not a fan, or a fan of the other spellings for it
Corrina - i like it! My quasi-daughter is Corri
Elena - not a fan
Isabel (NOT Isabella though) - personal feelings against this name so i can't help but be biased against it
Savannah - cute
Katarina - i like it, but wouldn't use it

Boys:
Austin Christopher - i like it
Memphis Alexander - i really don't like Alexander
Josiah - classic
Asher - not a fan
Emanuel - not a fan
Alejandro - mmm i don't know
