I 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?

the only one i like out of both boys and girls is margot. i think all the other ones are terrible

[danne-gerous.livejournal.com]

That's cool ;)

[platomapus.livejournal.com]

sorry to be harsh but i just wanted to state my opinion!

:]!

[danne-gerous.livejournal.com]

It wasn't harsh... and I'm a big girl (lol). Out of curiousity, what are some names you do like?

[platomapus.livejournal.com]

woo! some of my favorite names are
girls:
olive
sophia
maelynn [favorite]

boys:
connor
oliver [obv never used if i had a girl named olive]
emmitt
wiley [my favorite]

my favorites are my future childrens names. i'm super picky about names which is why my lists are so small, lol

what do you think about mine?

[snoglobel.livejournal.com]

A lot of your girl names I feel are very masculine. Peter for example, I could never see on a girl. Same with Emory, and Jude. (even though I knew a nun Sr. Jude) I like Margot, Saoirse, Eira. Clemence and Maude I feel are really "old" names and aren't my style, but they aren't terrible.

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.

I love Margot and Callum.

[danne-gerous.livejournal.com]

I love Olive! It reminds me of Pushing Daisies...

[platomapus.livejournal.com]

oh yeahhhh! it reminds me of little miss sunshine, but its a family name from my dad's side which makes it so much better! it would be my first pick for a girl but my boyfriend doesnt like it! :[ boo!

ps. love the icon!!!!!

[danne-gerous.livejournal.com]

Naoise is old school Gaelic and it's pronounce like NEE-sha.
And I do love boy names for girls, but in a less conventional way than Sam, Charlie, or Joey.

[rorylareina.livejournal.com]

I like most of the boys names, except Dresden (makes me think of Slaughterhouse-five), and I've never seen Naoise... how do you pronounce it? I love Eamon.

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.
Fox Brigham
Fox Reuven
Callum Ezra
Callum Finch

Oh, I forgot about Little Miss Sunshine! I love that movie. And I would probably tell my boyfriend to suck it up! lol

[platomapus.livejournal.com]

me tooo! its one of my favorites!! hahaha, if only it was that easy. but when he picks names that i dont like, there's no way i'd suck it up if he tried pulling that with me! haha

[danne-gerous.livejournal.com]

I love your suggestions! They match my style really well... especially Ezra, Finch, and Brigham. Naoise is pronounce NEE-sha. It's Gaelic, like Saoirse.

[danne-gerous.livejournal.com]

Thanks ;) Is that you in your icon? Cause the hair is super pretty!

[rorylareina.livejournal.com]

Hm... I kind of like it. Not for me, but it works.

[snoglobel.livejournal.com]

Nee-sha sounds very feminine to me, lol - the opposite of most of your other names - I've only known people with names pronounced that way (spelled Nisha) who are women.

[feeltherain.livejournal.com]

Theo would get pronounced the way it sounds. It'd be really hard to get people to pronounce it right.

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!

[azelmaroark.livejournal.com]

1.) Even though our naming styles are waaaay different, you are super friendly. I like you. =)

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.

I like Fox, Rhys, Clemence, Joss.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

I actually really like Jude on girls, and even though I don't like October I could see that on girls too. That said, I really don't like Peter Rene for a girl. It's just a plain male name to me. And this is coming from someone who generally likes unisex names!

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.

[rowan-belle.livejournal.com]

For boys I like Holden. I think Theo would be pis-pronounced ALL the time, which might get annoying for him.

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 Presley
Callum George
Callum Emerson

I think Fox sounds a bit silly, to be honest. And 'Peter Rene' for a girl? What? 'October Jude' also just screams 'look how different I am!' I'm not saying that's what you're going for, just what it comes off looking like. But I do like Rhys, Theo, Callum, and Margot, and Clemence and Maude are okay. I like Joss as a nickname for Jocelyn or Josephine.

[yukonsally]

Peter Rene on a girl screams "I wanted a boy." especially since you are using the male version of Rene.

[the-theorist.livejournal.com]

How do you pronounce Saoirse? Is it "Sor-sha"? I could be WAY off.
I like Clemence. I have a great-grandfather named Clemonds and I've always thought about using it for a daughter.

What do you think of Elliott on a girl?
