hey there!

wow. it's been a while since i've been around here (or on LJ in general i suppose)
Anyway.

No child on the way. I just have an obsession with names and putting them together.
I love browsing through the comm. and seeing everyone's names they pick. :D

anywho. like i said, I don't have a kid on the way, but I like names.. and I suppose I'm KIND of preparing for that day? *shrug*

anyway, would ya'll mind giving my list a once over, and some votes? I've been updating it recently, and would like some more opinions. :D

 

I'm also not married yet, but my boyfriend and I have been talking about it a quite a bit.. so if it helps, the tentative last name would be Sumner.

I'll also post a list in the cut, if you don't particularly feel like voting, and just want to see the list. :D

I like a lot of your boys' names, actually:
Matthew, Ian, Ethan, Brennan, Rhett, Declan, Thomas, Atticus, James
If Kennedy, Maddox, and Scott are middles, I like them as well. Kennedy or Maddox for a first name seems too trendy and I just don't know any nice people whose first names are Scott.

For girls', really the only name I like from your list is Marie, unfortunately.

I liked a lot of your boy's names. I love Tristan for a boy and I really like Matthew as a middle. It's solid. I didn't actually like any of your girls names though. Elisabeth McKenna came close, but I hate, hate, hate McKenna. Tesla appeals to me in a way, but all I can think of when I hear it is Nicola Tesla, and an electric car, which kills it for me.

Tessel is a Dutch girl's name that I personally think is cute...I like it better than Tesla and thought I'd put it out there ;)

I like Atticus, Alistair and Etta.

I really love a lot of these...

Tristan (for a boy)
Ian
Kennedy
Orion
Vincent
Atticus
Dorian
Finnley
Quinn

I voted a couple of them down because I didn't like the combos, but liked both of the names.

As for the girls names, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Tesla Marie. What an amazing girls name that I had never even considered. Meridon is also very pretty.

I like Tesla a lot, and especially because I think of Nicola Tesla.

I found most of your girl names not girl names. Avery, Tristan, Meridan, Alistair, those are all 100% boy to me.

For the boys names I like most of them except Brecken.

orion is a huge guilty pleasure for me. if we have more than one or two boys, that would probably be our second or third sons middle name.

i like kennedy too, but on a girl and again, probably as a middle.

love quinn, on either sex. also love finn, but prefer finnegan.

love elisabeth spelled only this way :) not a fan of tristan on a girl.

im not into the avery trend, on either sex. just dont like it.

i like etta (LOVE etta james, so i am thoroughly biased) but prefer it as a nickname.

Avery is the only name I like from the whole thing, but I too love it on both boys and girls.

Yay for Tarquin! People always look at me like I am crazy when I say I like it. Also I am quite fond of Atticus and Rhett.

I can't think of Tristan as a girls' name at all. It's like "John" to me!! But I like your name choices in general.
