Just wanting an opinion. I have 3 of each.

2. Richard David (Richard WAS my uncles name before he passed away, David is my dad's name)
3. Nathan Daniel (I just really like the name)

(I just really like the girls names)
1. Mariah Love
2. Charity Hope
3. Candy Faith

Nathan Daniel is my favorite for the boys, and Mariah Love is my favorite for the girls.

I like Nicholas Michael and Nathan Daniel is okay.
I really dislike all of the girls' names.

Sorry but I always associate the name Candy with prostitutes/strippers.

Very nice boys' names.

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

According to a study I read, a lot of people think of Candy as a stripper name, yes...

[charitylove1989.livejournal.com]

no worries, the first time I heard Candy I thought so too, but later I grew to like it, it's my least favorite of them but I still like it. So it's all good. lol. Thank you for your input

The boys' names all would sound sort of generic if I didn't know they had meaning to you. I like Nathan Daniel the best.

I really dislike all of the girls' names...both in pairs and individually. Sorry! :/

For the boys I like the Nathan Daniel and I know a Charity Hope so that one FTW!

Wow, you have really different naming styles for boys and girls. Your boy names are very traditional...boys with those names could have been born during any decade during the last 100 years, in any social class, in any profession as adults. But the girl names, whoa, they are not going to grow up to be lawyers and doctors, are they? Except maybe Charity Hope (and I like virtue names but two in one name is a lot!) but she will probably spend all her savings bailing Candy out of jail and paying off the boob job that Mariah put on her credit card. ;)

(Being silly of course. I grew up with a Kandie and she is one of the most thoughtful and generous people I know, and works in public health. Another Candy is friends with my mother and is a much beloved schoolteacher and librarian.)

Ya the boys names have meaning, but like with girls, family wise... I don't really want Brenda, Virginia, Marion, Tarie, Nancy, Natasha, Megan, Barbara, etc. The closest out of those names I'd use is Barbie from Barbara after my aunt. But I wouldn't do the full name Barbara, and I just didn't like it for my own kid.. so I don't really get to have much meaning out of it... so I had to come up with something different, and thank you for your bluntness and honestly... I truely (not sarcasticly either) like that.

Aw, I can understand that. I can tell you like sweet girly names. I think the family names you mention might have some possibilities for nicknames though. Like Tasha for Natasha, or Virginia could turn into Nia or Ginny. You could also go for an "inspired by" approach. Marion could be tweaked into Marissa, Mariana (or Mariah like you mentioned). Brenda could be modernized into Brenna. :)

You caught me... :D lol I do like sweet girly names. I admit it. I like the Tasha for Natasha. I also like the Marissa idea.

I love your boys' names - refreshingly classic. Michael is one of those always popular names so there's always going to be a ton of them around, but it's a middle name in this case so it's not so bad, and its still a fine name.

The girls' names I don't really like at all, sorry - I am not a huge fan of virtue names, and Candy and Mariah are kinda diva-ish. It just doesn't bring up good pictures in my mind.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

candy? really?

your girls names are really trashy (but i do love the name faith), while your boys names are nice and classic.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

This.

Like the boy names, especially Nathan Daniel. The girl names... not so much. Seriously, I know it's a bad thing, but a girl named Candy will have a hard time. At least name her Candace Faith, you can call her Candy then. Charity Hope is over the top IMO; two virtue names is too much. And Mariah Love... I don't know, I find it a bit bland.

[charitylove1989.livejournal.com]

IMO? well part of my middle names is from the "love, hope, faith" things I see everywhere. Actually my origonal names for girls were only two... Mariah Lynn and Charity Love. But then I thought about the love hope faith, and tried to add it. But my heart isn't totally like set on these that's why I wanted some input. thanks.

I like Nicholas Michael as a name. I've always thought it was a touch strange to name a child after living aunts and uncles, though. I guess the name still seems "taken," whereas the name of a deceased or elderly relative is "available." Maybe that's just me.

I love David but don't really like Richard. I've just never liked the sound of it. It seems like such a prissy-boy name.

Nathan is one of my favorites. Daniel is fine, too, but I think I would pick Nathan David.

Your girls' choices... um... I really don't mean to hurt your feelings but for the sake of your future child, I have to say that they sound like stripper names. Maybe not Charity as much, but Mariah Love and Candy *anything*... I would definitely expect to see them dancing around a pole. What about Mariah Faith or Mariah Hope instead?

[charitylove1989.livejournal.com]

Ya I have thought of the living being taken names, but at the same time my brothers mean the world to me. (I even have a tattoo of a triquetra and in between the points are my brothers and my name). But I really like the Nathan David. And no worries as I've said to a few people I like honesty.

And with Mariah, it actually started as Mariah Lynn. And Charity I wasn't totally sure on a middle name for sure... Candy I just wasn't totally sure on.
