I thought this would be fun...

[uppity-heathen.livejournal.com]

so I hope it's allowed.

Name my daughter's bear.



For reference, my daughter's name is Dagny.



So, what do you think Dagny would name her bear if she could talk?

first thought was Jebediah :D

[morphinae.livejournal.com]

In a dress!

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

ohhh right it said so in the cut text whoops ehhe XD

[morphinae.livejournal.com]

I dunno, I think I agree with you, Jebediah in a dress is interesting.

[uppity-heathen.livejournal.com]

for a girl bear? hehe.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

oh :D i thought it was an apron! lol

[amyames.livejournal.com]

Ruby

[lilacmermaid.livejournal.com]

Definitely my first thought too.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

trying again : Maya !

[uppity-heathen.livejournal.com]

that's my favorite so far. Dagny and Maya. hehe.

I'll pick from all the names probably tomorrow. I just feel silly calling her bear Teddy.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

glad you like it! :D

[stillbefree.livejournal.com]

Since it's a bear, I'll give it a B-name. lol. Bethany (or Beth)

[031307.livejournal.com]

My first thought was Maggie for some reason. :)

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Lela!

I don't know why, but that just popped into my head. Maya is a good suggestion indeed, though.
Dagny is such a pretty name, by the way.

Betsy.

Josie

[deer-lanterns.livejournal.com]

+ I love Dagny. Awesome name.

[twister-pants.livejournal.com]

Heh, I said Hazel too! I was typing it while you posted, but you got in two minutes before me.

[twister-pants.livejournal.com]

Meanings in parentheses, according to babynames.com

Hazel (The Hazel Tree)
Zola (Earth)
Tierra (Land)
Eve (Life)
Zoe (Life)

Zola is probably my favorite. I'd never name my child Zola, but I think it makes an excellent teddy bear name :D

[pickleshmickle.livejournal.com]

your baby is adorable!!

[pickleshmickle.livejournal.com]

oh and if she will be anything like my son, who is two and just started naming things, EVERYTHING would be Baby ___. our cat is now named Baby Kitty. our dog, Baby Dog. the new baby in momma's belly? Baby Baby.

[2nd-heartbeat.livejournal.com]

Hahaha the "Baby Baby" made me LOL :]

[pickleshmickle.livejournal.com]

okay okay ANOTHER comment! so i took a peek in your journal (sorry about that, but when i'm bored, oscar is asleep, i get a bit nosy) and i saw you are from missouri as well, i'm a kansas city gal...and and AND i saw you recently took a road trip which consisted of going up to kirksville. did you go to truman by any chance? i went there, my SO went there, i was an ATO staple gal, started there in fall 1998 and ended up staying up in kirksville for almost six years (i loved that town!). i don't know if you went there or not but my SO hung out a lot with the FTLs (silly anti-frat type thing, whatever), this is long, and rambly, especially if you really didn't have anything to do with kirksville/truman and just randomly decided to go up there. sorry, shot in the dark!

[uppity-heathen.livejournal.com]

I did not go to truman but i know a girl who did her name is marie. she is an awesome debater.

I went there to meet an lj friend actually. megabus is awesome. it goes from KC to st louis to chicago then minneapolis for only a few dollars.

i only got to stay in kirksville a couple days but it was fun and OMG I wish we had Hy-Vee in st. louis.

[deer-lanterns.livejournal.com]

I'm in St. Louis and know frippy too! Hey hey.

[crossingthesea.livejournal.com]

I was going to say Jujube (joo joo bee) until I saw the bear, who is clearly female, dress or not. Now I don't know, lol. Something with an "l," but I'm not sure what. She looks too dignified for Lulu or Lucy, and that doesn't go well with Dagny anyway. You want a smooth name that Dagny can replicate fairly easily.

Great question.

[girlsteve.livejournal.com]

Mabel. Also, your daughter is adorable!

[beepandetch.livejournal.com]

Maisie
Callie
Cosy (short for Cosette)

[babyjess8.livejournal.com]

Your daughter is absolutely adorable! And she is definitely a Dagney!

I think Dagney's bear could be a Sarah, Molly, Mildred (Milly), Lucy, Zoe/Zoey, Clara, Freya or Mia.

I also like more obsqure names, such as herbs (Saffron, Thyme) or food (Honey) or trees (Willow, Asch, etc) that would be unique for a bear... something you maybe wouldn't name a child.

[aquilinum.livejournal.com]

The dress makes me want to say Gaia... so Gaia!

[uppity-heathen.livejournal.com]

it rhymes with tag knee.

thank you. :)

[arbus.livejournal.com]

clementine, daisy or zoe!
