babynamesI stumbled across this community yesterday and, after scrolling through some of the posts, I thought I'd share a few of my favorite names. Bolded are the names I plan on using for my children someday.
Boys : Fox, Rhys, Holden, Theo (pronounced Tay-oh), Callum, Naoise, Eamon, and Dresden.
Girls : Peter Rene, October Jude, Clemence, Margot, Saoirse, Eira, Emory, Joss, and Maude.
Thoughts? And any good opinions on middle names for Fox and/or Callum?

Date: 2009-02-05 05:26 pm (UTC)For guys, I like Fox, Rhys, Theo, Callum, Eamon. I've never heard of Naoise and don't know how to pronounce it. Dresden isn't my style, but again isn't terrible.
No suggestions on middle names, sorry.

Date: 2009-02-05 05:31 pm (UTC)I'm not sure about Peter on a girl, but October Jude is growing on me, and I like Margot, Saoirse, and Emory.
Your style seems a little out-of-the-box, so I tried to come up with some middle names to fit; forgive me if I've misread your style.

Date: 2009-02-05 05:54 pm (UTC)Peter is a boys name period. To me I wouldn't even consider naming my daughter that.
You do have some creative not-so-common names and I love not-so-common names!

Date: 2009-02-05 05:59 pm (UTC)2.) I like Rhys, Holden, Theo as a nickname, Renee spelled this way and Margot. I have a (male) cat named October (solid black), and we call him Toby. October was a guilty pleasure name for me, so I used it on a pet. I like it, but I can't see it on an actual human.
I think a lot of your names are a little out there and are hard to see on real children. You might want to think about how a girl named Peter will have difficulty in her life with everyone assuming she's a he. (October Jude also sounds really masculine, and most people who saw it written out would probably assume boy.) Think about school rosters, job applications, college applications, etc.

Date: 2009-02-05 08:21 pm (UTC)I spelled Rene that way because it's my mother's middle name. Also, no one I know likes Peter for a girl except my mom so I understand. I just have my own opinion of it... and all other opinions are welcome!
I love some of the middle names you came up with, especially Riordan and Finley/Finn. Thanks for the suggestions!

Date: 2009-02-05 06:17 pm (UTC)As for Naoise...I saw the pronunciation in some comment above and I like that...but at first glance it looks like 'noise'.
I do like Fox, Rhys, Theo, Holden and Eira. The other girl names are not bad at all, but not really my style.

Date: 2009-02-05 06:24 pm (UTC)For the girls I love Saoirse! Clemence is nice but I think I prefer Clementine. Would Joss be a nickname for Josselyn or a stand alone?
Middle name suggestions:
Fox Henry
Fox William
Fox Holden
Fox Archer

Callum George

Date: 2009-02-05 08:28 pm (UTC)I heard it pronounced that way in a french film long ago and loved it, but it probably wouldn't be pronounced correctly if someone were reading it. But people mispronounce my name upon reading it!

What do you think of Elliott on a girl?

Date: 2009-02-05 10:27 pm (UTC)Wait a minute...Naoise is a boys name? I thought it was difficult enough as a girls name (because of the spelling/pronunciation difference), but "Neesha" on a boy? Most certainly not, at least not in the US (where I am)! I know several "Neesha"'s (various spellings), and they are all very female, LOL.
The only one I really like from the girls names is Rene.
Also, I actually think "Callum Fox" is good together! :-P

My mom's favorite name is Naoise.

Date: 2009-02-06 01:08 am (UTC)As for Peter Rene, I just don't think it's a good idea. I don't think that adding an extra -e to the end of Rene would make it honor your mother any less...it's not like it was her who chose to spell her name that way in the first place (I assume). Also, I don't think it's a good combination of names in general, simply because it doesn't flow very nicely in my opinion....
Have you even considered Petra Rene(e)? Another thing you could do would be to just maybe add a second middle name? One that's clearly 100% feminine...As opposed to the other two which (in my and most people's opinion) are clearly 100% masculine? This way your daughter would at least have the option of going by a female name if she wanted to...
