Sep. 10th, 2009 12:21 amHey everyone. Just as a mini-intro, my name is Rachael and I'm 20. I shouldn't think I'll be having babies for a while yet but I found this community and it seems like fun. I am actually that "Octoberbaby09" poster who posted about her boss and his wife wanting to name their baby boy Chester. I think the wife really likes it and I think it's growing on my boss. I can't find the entry now, but to the commentor who said "it reminds me of the scrawny Linkin Park lead singer", my boss told me he thinks his wife got it from him, heh.
Anyway, I thought I'd ask your opinion on some baby names. Sometimes me and my boyfriend-of-2-years talk about baby names (just to see if the other likes it) and we've "picked" two boy names. I'm not sure if they'll change within 4-5 years time (whoa yes, this is way far in advance, so maybe), but at the moment they are Oliver and Rory. I have already read some people don't like the name Oliver, but what do you think about how it goes with Rory? I've not heard or seen much on the name Rory here (although I faintly remember something about boys vs girls named Rory... definitely a boy name! ... unless I am imagining it). I think they are quite nice together? Admittedly I have a cat called Rory but as soon as my friend suggested the name for my cat it has become one of my favourite boy names. Just as a note if I married my boyfriend their surname would be Rebelo.
Does anyone else find they have a particularly hard time thinking of one particular gender name? We suck at girl names. Grace and Amelia are quite nice, although I don't think I'd want to name my future children either of those. I'm not particularly looking for girl suggestions, it's more about the above. Sorry to have went on a bit here!
