Hi! I just joined this community, because it looks ilke there are some interesting discussions that go on. I love baby names, I used to check the books out from the library starting back in junior high. I have a small collection of the mini-books you can buy in supermarkets, and a couple "real" books from used book/thrift stores. I play The Sims 2 so those come in handy.



Mara Jade
Alice
Owen
Aimeric

My number 1 name for a girl is Mara Jade, because I'm a total geek and that is my favorite Star Wars character. That's as a first and middle name, not a double first name...so, most people will only know "Mara", and even those who know her middle name won't necessarily realize she's named after a science fiction character.

Number 2 for a girl is Lacy, but I also would like to name a daughter after my grandmother, whose name was Alice. So I was thinking legally naming her Alice and using Lacy as a nickname, which I think works without being too much of a stretch. I waffle around on middle names, sometimes I think of Claire, because I had a grandfather named Clarence - so it would be a tribute to him and that way I cover both sets of grandparents.

Which is important, since one of the middle names I like for a boy is Trygve, which is again a family name, from the same side as Alice. I am thinking Owen Trygve. I really like Owen Henry - but then you have O. Henry, and that would be bad.

Last is the name Aimeric (roughly: Ah-mehr-reek), which is a French name. I think it would be okay and not result in too much teasing for a kid because it would be very simple to shorten it to Eric (even if the pronounciations don't quite match). That one is hard to find a middle name for.

I also really like the name Harry James, but I kind of think that's Harry Potter's full name, and that I won't do to a kid. And speaking of HP, I adore the name Sirius, but I really, really wouldn't do that to a kid.

Oh, and my own name is Katherine Anne. I've gone by Katie (when I was little), Kate (junior/senior high), and Kat (senior high/uni). I'm now mostly Kat, although I often feel like it doesn't really fit me.

I am just about to leave work, so I don't have any long lists like I've seen other people post, but maybe some other time.
