The post about Jordan got me wondering.

What are everyone's favorite names here?

Faves I want to use: Mara, Lacy, Owen
Faves I would use but don't plan on having enough children: Linden, Bradley, Henry

I had a dream that I had a son named Bradley Christopher and we called him Brick, and I loved that, but in the dream there was a reason for that nickname and it would be pretty dumb to name a child that in order to use a nickname from a dream that doesn't fit. Plus, I have TWO cousins named Christopher. The only other name on that list that I have a middle name 100% decided is Mara Jade.

Names I love but would not inflict on my hypothetical children:

Not English and would be butchered:
Alizée, Azéline, Maïté, Ewann (pronounced ay-wan; all French); Siobhan, Aoife (Eefuh), Aodhan (essentially Ethan; all Irish)

Tolkien:
Arien, Miriel, Luthien, Earendel (well, that last was pinched from Old English)

Star Wars:
Mirax, Tahiri, Tycho

And one last name, from Harry Potter: Sirius.
