Jul. 18th, 2006 12:40 amI'm not pregnant or expecting or anything like that, but I thought I'd post my favorite names, because I finally compiled an actual list. I wouldn't actually use all of these, for different reasons, but I like them all. I have a really hard time coming up with names I would actually use right now if I were to have a baby tomorrow or something.
Girl's Combined Names:
Julianna Grace (my favorite name)
Olivia Kay (Kay is my mn and my mom's mn)
Madeline Eve/Eve Madeline (I like M.E. better, but I have a cousin with a daughter named Madison and it seems weird to do that.)
Amelia Nicole (I'm not a huge fan of the name Nicole exactly, but that is the name of my two best friends, so it works. I also like Amelia Lane.)
Girl's First Names:
**all of the above plus
Madison
Sawyer
Penny
Anna
Julia
Molly
Ruby
Ellie
Piper
Scarlett
West
Felicity
Sarah
**I like all those names but probably wouldn't use them, except Anna. But I like Julianna better.
Girl's Middle Names:
Madison
Taylor
Quinn
Lane
Abigail
Elizabeth
Mia
Lillian
Riley
Nicole
Claire
Charlotte
Melissa (I'm not a huge fan of this name, but it's the name of my favorite singer, so I'd consider it for a middle name.)
Kate
Reese
Eliza
Violet
Jolie
Jane
---------------
Boy's Combined Names:
Milo Landon (I really like Milo recently but none of my friends/family does. Landon is my brother and dad's middle name, so I really want to use it.)
Grayson Thane (This is the first & last name of a character from a Nora Roberts book, but I loved it so much and it's stuck with me.)
Aidan John (I know Aidan is popular, but I've loved it for six years or so, before I knew it was popular. John is my brother's name, and I like it with Aidan.)
Boy's First Names:
Owen
Noah
William
Chase
Andrew (This is my cousin's name and I like it a lot, but I don't want to use it to honor him, so I feel weird using it at all.)
Theo
Jack
Walker
Henry
Max
Eli
Drew
Elliot
Maddox
Sawyer
Charlie
Boy's Middle Names:
Landon
John (John & Landon are for my brother/family, once again.)
Daniel (I would love to use Daniel as a middle name, because it's the name of one of my close cousins.)
William
Andrew
Nathan
Ryan
Tyler
Carter
Walker
George
Taylor
Elliot
Griffin
Quinn
Thane
Dylan (I know the majority of you hate Dylan, but for me, it's okay as a mn.)
That is all... Thanks.

Date: 2006-07-18 11:51 am (UTC)Sawyer - I've never heard of this for a girl, but I really like it On X-Files, the actor who plays Skinner, he has a daughter named Sawyer. I can't decide if I like it for a boy or a girl, but quite frankly, I just love the name but wouldn't probably use it.
Penny
Penny is something I might name a pet some day, but I do like it. I've liked it since I watched Inspector Gadgett. Haha.
Ruby
Ruby is the same with Penny. I always picture this really awesome girl when I think of the name Ruby.
West - Really? West? It's different and while I like it, I think I'd probably like it on a boy better. It just seems more masculine to me.
David Duchovny's daughter is named West (technically it's her mn--Madeline West), and I've loved it since I heard it when she was born.
Reese - ever since ER, I've thought of it as a boy's name, but I like it for a girl, too
Yeah, I have too... I couldn't decide. But I think I like it better as a middle name for a girl, since Reese on ER was technically a last name. And Reese Witherspoon is the only other Reese I've ever heard of.
Eliza - I want you to have a daughter named Grace Eliza, k? ;) Hahaha, the other day my mom called me "Grace" when I tripped and fell and I was like "OMG! AWW!!! GRACIE!! AND ELLIOT AND OLIVIA!!"
I saw Eliza on the list I was looking at and I was like, ZOMG GRACIE! Haha. Le sigh.
Milo Landon - I like Milo, too :). And I like that Landon is a family name - MEANING=LOVE.
The thing is, Landon is a family name passed down on my dad's side. My brother hates it and told me not to ever use it and I don't think my mom is a huge fan either. But I LOVE Landon. And Milo is growing on me hugely and no one else likes it.
Aidan John - I LOVE the name Aidan, but again, I'd never use it for one of my kids. I like the sound of this name, too.
Yeah, I want to avoid using Aidan if I can, but I just liked it together like this, so I did it.
Walker - YOU LIKE THIS NAME TOO??!!! OMG!!! I LOVE THIS NAME!!! There was a time that I named every character in every story I wrote "Walker", haha.
Nicole always jokes that she would name her kid Tex Walker, and ever since I've loved Walker. Haha.
You know, odds are, we're going to end up with at least two kids named the same thing. If not more.
Haha, I know, our 3 favorite girl's names are the same.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha. I love you.
My #3 girls' name has been switching back and forth between Amelia Eleanor and Miranda Eleanor for the past few weeks. Right now I'm leaning towards the later, but it's still possible we might end up with three girls named Julianna, Olivia, and Amelia.

Date: 2006-07-18 01:24 pm (UTC)The only thing is, we have to marry husbands who agree. because I know when Matt & I talked about it, he hated all my names and I hated all of his. Julianna sort of flew with him, b/c he didn't mind Anna, but otherwise, nope. And dammit, I'm naming my kids! Haha. What I want to.
