for consideration

My husband and I (mostly with my prompting) have been throwing around names for future children and I was looking at some Scottish names for boys and found some that I really like.

Boy: Warren, Lachlan, Callum, Finlay

Not sure about middle names or if I would pair any of those together. But I was kind of excited to come up with those because my husband is usually so picky about names. I also liked the name Logan, but he thinks it will be too popular because of the Wolverine/X-men movies.

Also, we have talked before about girl names that we like and so far it looks like these are the "top contenders"

Girl: Anya, Shanna, Aurilea

Yayyyy finally another Callum lover! I have my heart set on it.'

I like Callum and Anya the best. I actually know a little boy named Callum who is about 4, he's the only one I've heard it on (besides the veterinarian in All Creatures Great and Small).

I meant to type it "Aurelia" actually.

I'm very interested in Celtic names as well.

I like the boy's names in this order: Callum, Warren, Lachlan, Finlay. Callum is my absolute favorite boy's name.

I'm not too keen on your girl's choices. I like Shanna best of them though. I think it would go well with Callum or Lachlan.

I really like Callum. Then, in order, Finlay, Lachlan, Warren.
I don't really like any of the girl's names, but I think Anya is the best.

My favorites of your boys would be Callum and Finlay.
Out of the girls, I prefer Anya. And I like Aurelia more than Aurilea, personally.

[bookity.livejournal.com]

Actually typed that wrong. I do prefer Aurelia as well.

I kind of thought that might have happened, but I wasn't sure! Aurelia is lovely. :)

Love Lachlan! I also like all the others as well. The only name I'm not a fan of is Shanna. I adore Anya and Aurelia.

I love Warren, and Callum and Finlay are great, too. Lachlan is just okay. I dislike all of the girl's names, sorry.

[penguiny7.livejournal.com]

Oh, also, Warren isn't Scottish, it's English. I'm not sure if you were meaning it was Scottish, but in case you had incorrect info I just thought I'd let you know!

[bookity.livejournal.com]

Yes, I should have mentioned that Warren actually came from a character's name in a book we both enjoy. It's German I believe.

[penguiny7.livejournal.com]

It's "from an English surname which was derived either from Norman French warrene meaning "animal enclosure", or else from the town of La Varenne in Normandy."

That's neat that it comes from a book character. I always like nice connections like that, which is part of the reason I love Peter so much.

[bookity.livejournal.com]

My husband also likes the name Peter, but has a nephew w/ the middle name Peter. Also As he is Paul and my name is Mary, the first thing I think of is "Peter, Paul, and Mary". Not even familiar w/ the music, but I know it's a musical group.

I actually really like Lachlan

[lilacmermaid.livejournal.com]

I love Callum, and I like Warren and Lachlan.

[gipro2003.livejournal.com]

I LOVE Warren and Lachlan. I like Finlay with the original Fionnlagh spelling, but I think it is way too popular right now.

[apathykisses.livejournal.com]

I love Warren and Lachlan. Anya and Aurelia are nice too.

[blue-roan.livejournal.com]

I like all of the boys' names (Lachlan, eh), but only Aurelia for girls. I like Aurelia a lot, though, so maybe that makes up for it? :)

[lind-saay.livejournal.com]

I LOVE Warren. Love. It's so soft, but still masculine. It's really nice. I also like the other three, but Warren is definitely the best out of the four, I think.

I really like Anya, too.

Do you mean Aurelia instead of Aurilea? Or is it a different name?

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

LOVE Anya, it's number 1 on my girls' list right now!
