My names

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

I will say it upfront... I like sort of 'masculine' names for girls, names usually ave to be able to be pronounced in French, English and Spanish (but sometimes I overlook that because I just like the name). My taste is a bit all over the place and I like both very classical and some out there names =)


Boys (they is not in order though, they change around a lot): 

Apollo
Achilles
Ares
Julian/Jude
Padric
Rowan
Rordan - Rory
Gawain/Gavin
Ethan
Aitor
Paul
Lennon
Hammet

some combo ideas:

Hammet Ares, Ethan Gawain, Ethan Gavin, Rowan Padric, Aitor Julian (nn Jude), Julian Aitor (nn Jude), Rordan Achilles/Apollo... hmm the rest I have no idea how to combine though and these are just random ideas that come to me usually in class.

Girls:

Antares
Elena - this is for sure my first daughter's, if I were to have one, middle name as it's a family tradition.
Rhiannon
Vega
Lyra
Mia
Damien - biggest guilty pleasure
Mary
Alice
Alcyone - love this so much
Lani/Noelani
Isobel/Isabel
Elyse/Eloisa - my middle name that I might give a second daughter.
Eve/Evelyn
Erin
Ione
Lucia/Lucy

I obviously like Greek Mythology, The Beatles, Constellations, Classic English and Irish names... so it's a bit all over the place but since I don't think I'll have 12 kids I think I can mix and match xD

So! Let me have some opinions!

I like/kind of like: Apollo, Ares, Julian, Rowan, Ethan, and Lennon.

Jude...I sometimes like and sometimes don't. ^^
Padric, Gawain, and Hammet are ugly, imo.
I don't like Rordan, but I kind of like Rory.
I'm indifferent to Paul.
Combos: I kind of like the way Aitor Jude sounds, but not Aitor Julian.

I like Antares, but wouldn't use it.
I like Alcyone; I really like the way it sounds.
I like Isobel/Isabel and Lucy.
Damien...is okay (but I lean towards dislike), but I consider it a strictly male name. I really can't imagine this on a cute little girl (I picture it on a bratty girl... =x)
I'm mostly indifferent to the others- they're not horrible, but I don't particularly like them either.

Ares *le sigh* I love the name but sometimes considering he is the god of bloody war and the want and aggression to kill turns me off on it...

Jude is near impossible for my only Spanish speaking family to sound out so I settle for Julian and I, and m English speaking family members, can call him Jude if so desired =)

Antares is kind o set... my mother kind of picked it and well... her opinion weighs in heavily xD and I happen to like it.

I knoooow Damien is such a huge guilty pleasure, I doubt I'd really use it but I love the way it sounds. It's the french in me that sees that -en ending as a girl's name... I'd never name a girl Damian but Damien is 'feminine' to me, weird, I know.

It's so nice to see someone who really loves the name Elena. It's my middle name (it was my grandmother's first name) and I am so thankful to my parents for naming me Melissa Elena.

Some others from you list that I like:
Jude
Rowan (Though I can never decide if I like this for boys or girls so it's out for me)
Gavin
Ethan
Lennon
Rhiannon
Lyra
Mia
Isobel/Isabel
Eve/Evelyn
Erin
Ione
Lucia/Lucy

Some combos I would suggest:
Gavin Jude, Ethan Jude, Lucy Elena, Rhiannon Eve, Lyra Evelyn, Mia Isobel

I love it and well I am the first born girl of a first born girl who was also the daughter of a first born girl... so in my family the first girl gets either a name the mother likes or the mother's name plus her grandmother's middle name =) I plan to honor said tradition and name my first born daughter _____ Elena. I'd name her Monica Elena but that is my mother's name as I was named after her and my grandmother. Anywho!

I love those combos! Lyra Evelyn looks a little symmetrical with those two y's but that's a good thing for me =D

I was so, so confused. After reading that you liked masculine names for girls, I thought the boys list was the girls list, and I was like, "those just aren't masculine, those are entirely male names!"

I love Greek Mythology myself, we just have different tastes on the names. Apollo isn't too bad. I love Jude, Rowan and Lennon. From the girls, I like Isobel, Erin and Lucy. Oh, and Mary, can't forget Mary.

Rowan Achilles; Ethan Apollo; Padric Lennon. Erin Alycone; Vega Rhiannon; Lucy Antares.

Yay! I love Mary which is odd because so many people hate the name and find it too common but to me it's such a sweet, classic name.

Thank you for the suggestions!

Of your list, I really likeJulian/Jude, Lennon, Elena, Lyra, Mia, Alice, Isobel, Eve and Lucy.

I also like the way Aitor looks, and the way (I imagine) it would be pronounce in Spanish, but pronouncing it in English makes it sound so close to 'traitor'. Love the Julian Aitor combo though.

Aitor is pron.: EYE-tor and it's just such a different sounding name that when I heard it I right away had it on my list =)
