a list of all my favorite names!

[starshucks.livejournal.com]

These are ALL my favorite names, thus far. The list can grow even longer. Take a look and pick it apart. Some of the names seem "What the Heck"-ish but we all have different taste in names. While I like a name that seems "What The Heck"-ish, Chances are of my ever using it, is well...slim. For the most part, my names seem pretty normal and perhaps, some are a bit boring. Anyways, Enjoy!

Adrian

Some names there (such as Laura, Lucas, Ian) I just cannot use because of my baby cousins. My cousins all had kids before me and snagged the best names.

My brother's name is Eric, so I wanted a different spelling than him, even though sometimes he spells his name Erik. Often times he goes by Yogi.

it seems odd to me that some of the nicknames are...forced (for back of a letter word). like shortening julian to ian? i don't know. that's kind of weird to me. when i think of giving nicknames, i think of shortening longer names, like elizabeth or alexander.

[starshucks.livejournal.com]

Nah, not forced. I'm very funny about names and nicknames.

[chocklit-frog.livejournal.com]

I like almost all of your names, but I just wanted to say in particular the Hieronymus-->Harry is AWESOME. I'm quite sure I'm very much in the minority there though, lol.

[starshucks.livejournal.com]

Hieronymus is a very kickass name, with Harry as a nickname makes it even more kickass! XD
