Last night, while lying in bed, I decided that I had to make a list of my top ten boys names and my top ten girls names, in order.

Ezra
Max
Jesse
Seth
Zack
Dylan
Theo
Rory
Elliot
Kai

Ivy
Asha
Keziah
Ebony
India
Skye
Elsa
Eliza
Jasmine
Zoe

bold = absolutely love
I found the girls names to be the hardest because while there are a lot of girls names that I like, there are few that I love. This is the other way round with boys, there are quite a few I love, but in total not many I like.

What is your top ten, or top five?

Haha it made me laugh that the two name you love but wouldn't use are Atticus and Scout because I used to have a hoody that had "Atticus Scout" written across the back of it!

Well, it made me laugh...

[p-inkjeans.livejournal.com]

LOL. You a TKAM fan, too? ;)

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

What is TKAM??

[cat-e-uh.livejournal.com]

[tallc00lone.livejournal.com]

Líadan


Boys
Gideon
Caelan
Tristan
Ezra

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

I like Lillia, I've never heard it before though. Is it pronounced Lily-ah?
Eloise is also pretty.
Yay for Ezra! Not only is it my favoutite name, but it is also the only name my SO and I agree on!
I also like Callum, Alexander, and Tate.

[tallc00lone.livejournal.com]

Yep- thats how Lillia is pronounced :] It's my very fav.

[darabelle.livejournal.com]

Oooh I love the name Clara! I wouldn't use it only because it rhymes with my name, but it's soooooo pretty. =D There's something about it that just evokes such a beautiful image in my mind. &hearts &hearts

[tallc00lone.livejournal.com]

Do you pronounce it clah-ruh or claire-uh? I pronounce it the first way.

[darabelle.livejournal.com]

Ah! None of the above. LOL. I actually pronounce it "CLAA-ruh" like "a as in Apple or sAlad" (assuming you pronounce these words the way I do lol). That's also how I pronounce my name, Dara. Some people pronounce it "DAIR-uh" which is totally fine but I hate when people say "DAH-ruh". Blech. LOL

How do you pronounce them?

[tallc00lone.livejournal.com]

So wait- you say it like clap and ruh? I like it! But I do prefer Clah-ruh.

[darabelle.livejournal.com]

Yep!

=D

I would probably think Clara, the way you pronounce it, was pretty if I hadn't spent the last 22 years hating the sound of my name being pronounced that way. haha

[p-inkjeans.livejournal.com]

I really like Juliet, Clara, Ezra, Noah, Logan, and Alexander. In fact, I *love* those names :)

I have always liked Luke and Benjamin, but have two good friends with these names so can't use them either! Oh well, I won't be using names for a while yet anyway.

[darabelle.livejournal.com]

ugh don't you hate when people steal your names? lol

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

I like most of your names and really LOVE Zoe, Keziah, Skye and Ivy.

[lkw18.livejournal.com]

we have very similar taste...this is freaky!

i love Max, buttt it was my great-grandpa's name, my grandpa's name and is my cousin's name so i think it's over for our family now. my cousin Max is also...um..quite the wild child so i get that image for the name. i still love it though.

kai and elliot have been in my tops for a long time.

ivy is my favorite girl name.

geez you and i should adopt a baby together!! haha

top 5 boys:

Elliott
Bailey
Giovanni
Leo
Kai

top 5 girls:

Ivy
Gillian
...
um i don't really have any other favorite girl names, ha.

[darabelle.livejournal.com]

i like kai, but do you pronounce it like "KAY" or "KIE" (rhymes with pie)... if it's like "KAY" then i also really like it spelled kae. i had a friend named katherine who went by this and i always loved the look of it. =D

[imyourrapunzel.livejournal.com]

My name is Kai, it rhymes with pie.

[lkw18.livejournal.com]

rhyming with pie..but i only like it for a boy. i'd prefer kaia for a girl, which is really cute too.

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

Rhyming with pie.
To me, Kay/Kae is quite feminine. I like the Kae spelling a lot though, that kinda makes me like that name!!

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

ivy is my favorite girl name.

geez you and i should adopt a baby together!! haha

LOL :D

I like Leo, but it is my brothers name so I could never use it. Even though I know someone whose son has the name of her brother, but to me that just seems so weird. But Theo is similar without being too similar and I really like that.

Yay for Ivy!!

[solyma.livejournal.com]

I really like Elliot and Keziah. Here's my top 10:

Alana
Amelia
Carys
Charity
Delilah
Jocelyn
Kyla
Madeline
Noa
Shoshannah


Bennett
Bryant
Elliot
Emmett
Ethan
Graham
Ian
Josiah
Laurence
Merritt

[darabelle.livejournal.com]

Yay I love Madeline, particularly with that spelling! Graham and Josiah are nice but I don't know if I'd ever use them. I haven't thought about them before, but looking at them now I think I might like them. LOL Hmmmm... Oh and I always loved Ethan. I'm always looking for "E" names to name after my grandma.

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

Some "E" names,
boys:
Emerson
Eric
Ellis
Evan
Elmer
Elliot
Ezra

girls:
Eliza
Erica
Elsa
Ebony
Emelia
Eden
Ella
Esme
Elory

[darabelle.livejournal.com]

I like Ezra and I love Zachary but not Zack. Elliot is also nice. As I mentioned above, I'm always looking for E names. =D

As for the girls, I think Asha is pretty, but to me it sounds like someone with a Brooklyn accent saying "Asher." LOL. I used to love the name India but that was also when I wanted to name my future child America... so I dunno.

And I LOVE Elsa. Gosh there are so many good E names! This is great. =D

[imyourrapunzel.livejournal.com]

Not sure how smasharash would pronounce it, but the way I've heard it Asha is pronounced Ah-sha.

[darabelle.livejournal.com]

Exactly, which sounds like "Asher" with a Brooklyn accent. ;)

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what a Brooklyn accent sounds like (being English). But I pronounce Asha kinda like Asher, but the ending is much softer and less harsh sounding. It is just Ash-ah, rather than Ash-ER.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

we have similar taste in boys names...ezra, max, jesse, and elliott are all on my tops list. but i also love (from your list) dylan, theo, and kai.

i dont really like your girls names, though, sorry. india is cute, but i would never use it. it would just be so so wrong on a little pale redhaired girl.

[lannagayle.livejournal.com]

i love love love Ezra. My brother is Ezra Joel.

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

Thats a really nice combo :)
