Just throwing names out there

[wykd-faerie.livejournal.com]

Hey, not planning for kids for the next few year (been with my boyfriend for just about a year, so no marriage or kids anytime soon lol) but i love names!

I have trouble with middle names, which if I end up marrying my boyfriend won't be a problem because he has no middle name and he says, "if we come up with something awesome, great, if not it's no big deal" and I tend to agree. Feel free to suggest some though.



Boys:
Owen
Logan
Liam
Nathaniel
Jordan
Caleb

Girls:
Mandalyn (yeah yeah kre8tyve spelling shush!)
Layla
Autumn
Serenity (and i know about the brand, but outside of this community i've NEVER heard a word about them)

Feel free to give me names you think i'd like ^_^


oh and once many years ago, as a joke, a guy friend of mine and i sat down and thought of names to name "our kids". Don't ask. They were:
Angelina Mandalyn LaFortuna
Logan Nicolai LaFortuna
he's italian and Angelina and Nicolai are relatives. I thought they were fun names (not that i would actually name them that hehe).

Owen - lovely.
Logan - I like.
Liam - I knew one growing up and he was an odd-ball, but it's still a nice name.
Nathaniel - I prefer "Nathan", "Nathaniel" is too much for me.
Jordan - nice.
Caleb - not for me.

Girls:
Mandalyn - I don't like it... sorry.
Layla - this (spelt "Laila") is my absoulte favorite girls name of all time :)! (Laila Brynn!!)
Autumn - pretty, but not my style.
Serenity - not for me.

Owen is my fave boys name, has been since Pary of Five haha. I really dislike the spelling laila, i don't know why, but thanks for the kind thoughts ^_^

Haha I use to LOVE Party of Five.

We're naming our boy due in October, Owen [a PO5 name] and if we have another boy in the future, we're naming him Bailey [also a PO5 name]. All coincidental =)

[wykd-faerie.livejournal.com]

awesome! I liked Bailey too when i was little and then my best friend's youngest sister (who is now 11) became best friend's with a girl named Bailey and she's totally obnoxious, so it ruined the name for me.

Oh, and CONRAGTS! on your little future owen!

[wykd-faerie.livejournal.com]

ack that was supposed to be CONGRATS!

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

I like the spelling better because "Layla" makes me think of "Kayla" with an "L"... and I really dislike the name "Kayla" ... plus I think i's and prettier than y's. That's just me. :)

[wykd-faerie.livejournal.com]

ahh I see. I like "y"s a whole lot.

[jenniferdunn.livejournal.com]

*See icon* - Owen is what we're naming our little one, so obviously it's a great choice! =)

Boys:
Owen- *see above* Love it!
Logan- Like it, but could never use it [half my husband's family, including him have worked at Logan's Roadhouse -a restaurant-]
Liam- Never really cared for it much.
Nathaniel- Love it
Jordan- It's ok.. one of those boyish names I prefer for a girl.
Caleb- Like it

Girls:
Mandalyn- An instrument my dad plays.
Layla- Pretty
Autumn- Like it
Serenity- Not liking it so much

[namegirl.livejournal.com]

Mandalyn?
The only thing I could think of (http://www.cripplecreekmusic.com/zzzzz/Inst.%20Pics/Mandolin.jpg)

[namegirl.livejournal.com]

grrr, second link was supposed to be this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandolin)

[wykd-faerie.livejournal.com]

I know. I just always thought it was pretty, and lyn is my middle name.

[dingo83.livejournal.com]

I love Nathaniel and I like Autumn the best out of your girls names.

[wykd-faerie.livejournal.com]

thanks! I like Autumn a whole lot ^_^

[hitzpink.livejournal.com]

I really love Owen and Caleb. Nathaniel is ok, but I prefer Nathan. For some reason, Layla (along with Lola) are stripper names to me. I have no idea why. Maybe because they sound like Lolita? And I actually really like Serenity. :)

[wykd-faerie.livejournal.com]

thaanks! I have names that i associate with stripper names too, it's ok. lol and awesome, my boyfriend suggested Serenity and ever since it's stuck

[lkw18.livejournal.com]

i love all of your boy names!

i tend to favor michael as a mn..i think it can flow nicely with a bunch of names.

[wykd-faerie.livejournal.com]

THANKS! ^_^ and michael is actually a nice idea, it's my dad's name haha

Serenity is really pretty. I was talking about baby names at my work and one of my coworkers suggested it. I kind of like Serena better, bc i'd worry that Serenity would get "Ren" for a nn at least at some point in her life! (or even "Sren" spoken aloud - shudder!)

I have an obsession with possible horrible nn's though....i always got bad ones!

I also really like Autumn. I have Summer on my list, mainly bc I'm hoping (eventually) to have a June or July-born baby!

[wykd-faerie.livejournal.com]

I like Serenity a lot, it was actually my boyfriend's suggestion and I've liked it ever since.

I understand, I hate bad nicknames, at list I had good ones (Tay or Tay-Tay).

Summer I always thought was very lovely, if i had a summer baby I'd consider it.

Logan will always make me think of Logan Echolls from Veronica Mars, but that's a good thing! And Serenity? Yep, Serenity from Firefly.

Oh, I'm such a fangirl.

Anyway, I like Liam for a boy and Layla for a girl (I don't think the song will be popular enough by the time you have a kid for it to bother her with people singing it or whatever).

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

The song is "Lyla" anyways.
(unless you're thinking of a different one)

[xanya.livejournal.com]

Yep, I was talking about 'Layla' by Eric Clapton. Ha, see not even well known enough now to cause a problem!

[wykd-faerie.livejournal.com]

haha i was just gunna say that. Not too many people even know the song anymore, but that's actually where I got it from, becuase I always thought it sounded lovely to the ear.

[xanya.livejournal.com]

I think it's a really pretty name too! Also, I love the song. It's just, if I ever met a Layla, I would totally be like "Layla, you've got me on my knees. Layla, I'm begging darling please!" etc.

[wykd-faerie.livejournal.com]

Logan makes me think of Wolverine (hugh jackman *mellt*) but i liked it before i saw the movies.

It's ok lol.

I like those names a lot, but don't think i'd do the sibling set, i don't like matchy names.

Boys:
Owen- love
Logan- ehh not sure, it's not really a "name"- its a street name close to me, thats probably why i dont like it
Liam- love
Nathaniel- hate, but i like nate.
Jordan- hate
Caleb- it's okay

Girls:
Mandalyn (yeah yeah kre8tyve spelling shush!)- sorry, this is terrible... i hate amanda &... the only instrument i'd like to name my daughter after is viola, á la shakespeare, because he's cool.
Layla- prefer Leila, bit blah, but pretty. Prefer Lola even more so to Leila.
Autumn- like
Serenity (and i know about the brand, but outside of this community i've NEVER heard a word about them)- i dont know what brand serenity, but nevertheless i dislike it as a name... it's a pretty meaning, but it's a word...

[wykd-faerie.livejournal.com]

thanks for the kinder thoughts ^_^ and Serenity is apparently a brand of adult diapers, but like i said, outside of this community i've never heard of them. never seen an ad or a commercial or anything and neither has anyone i know, so i believe if I did choose the name the kid would be fine.
