babynamesVotes are in for the boy's list, and if you didn't see, James won by 20 votes against Connor. Now for the girl's list! Six names/three questions wouldn't fit so expect to be seeing those tomorrow.
[Poll #1556470]
Also, I had a dream last night that my friend wanted a child so we decided to have a baby together. He has a really Italian last name and strongly identifies with that side of his family so he wanted Italian names. I really like English sounding names, for the most part. I was busy trying to find names that weren't so English that they sounded funny with his last name and told him the baby could have an Italian middle name. I spent awhile trying to come up with boy's names before rememebering the baby was a GIRL. Way to go, Subconscious. I remember suggesting Harrison.
When I got to girl's names, I suggested Willow and Tabitha (reminding him of my love for Bewitched and my cat named Endora) and mentally discarded Hazel. The dream shifted before I could suggest Lyric.
He wanted to name her Carlotta Santa M-----i. It actually sounds pretty, but I was weirded out by the Santa Claus connection. He wanted to call her "Char" though, like short for Charlotte, which totally didn't make sense to me. However, I was pleased that I could still call her Lotte/Lotta/Lottie, which are nns I like for Charlotte. To compromise with him further, I suggested we look for an Italian name that I liked for the middle. We quickly settled on Carlotta Sophia. He wanted the "ph" spelling instead of the "f", saying something about Latin roots and God. I have no idea. Then, it became he wanted it to be Sopina, but I didn't like it because it sounds like subpoena. Then, my neighbor thought I suggested Slophia and she didn't like it because it contained the word "slop."
I don't think we ever worked out the Sophia issue before I woke up, but then, I dreamed about telling about this dream on here and the list of discussed names included Felix and Eothen, which I at first thought was a bad spelling of Ethan. I thought it would look better as Eothan. Then, I noticed an accent over the O and I thought it was a variation of Eowyn. Ay-O-than actually sounds kind of neat. I wouldn't mind it in a LotR type novel.
