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 02:46 pm (UTC)Olivia Kay - Trendy, but nice.
Madeline Eve/Eve Madeline - I think the first combo flows better, but would use the second over the first, because I like Eve better.
Amelia Nicole - Nice.
Madison - Adorable, if your pretend daughter is the son of Maude. Otherwise, it's terrible on a girl. ;)
Sawyer - I really like this for a boy.. I don't think I could warm up to it on a girl.
Penny - Not my style, too nicknamish.. but it's not bad.
Anna - Love this!
Julia - I like it, but it sounds so pretentious.. Like her parents were trying a little *too hard..
Molly - I've grown to like this more and more lately.
Ruby - This feels a little downmarket to me.. but it's not bad.
Ellie - Not as a full name.. no.
Piper - Bad association, plus I don't like how it sounds..
Scarlett - Very nice.. I couldn't use it, the 'scar' part bothers me.
West - For a middle name, sure.
Felicity - Oooh I love this!
Sarah - Love this too! A little plain, but I love the meaning..
Madison - We already talked about this one. ;)
Taylor - NMS, but I can't complain as long as it's in the mn slot.
Quinn - I just can't warm up to this on a girl.
Lane - Horrible association for me, but not bad for others.
Abigail - I wish I could like this, but I don't.
Elizabeth - Very nice.
Mia - Short, but nice.
Lillian - Beautiful.
Riley - I've only known dogs named Riley
Nicole - It's filler.. I only like it in the mn spot if it's after someone.
Claire - Beautiful.
Charlotte - Nothing I would use, but very pretty.
Melissa - Lovely.. it'd be nice to see this name come back.
Kate - Gorgeous
Reese - eh... there's so many other lovely names on your list..
Eliza - Beautiful
Violet - Too gorgeous to be reduced to a mn.. you should consider it for a first.
Jolie - I like this a lot.
Jane - Very very nice.. one of my favorites!
Most of your middle names are terribly gorgeous... I'd love to see them used as first names instead. ;)
Boy's Combined Names:
Milo Landon - I prefer Miles, and I like Landon.. this combo is a little 'L' heavy.
Grayson Thane - Ehh
Aidan John - Very nice.
Boy's First Names:
Owen - Owen, I think, is the next Aidan.. everyone is using it lately.
Noah - Very nice.
William - Not what I would pick, but nice
Chase - It reminds me of the bank, LOL
Andrew - Very nice.
Theo - I don't like the nickname feel of this, but I don't like Theodore either.. =/
Jack - Trendy, but nice.
Walker - When I hear 'Walker" I think of a device that helps old people shuffle around.. I can't warm up to it as a name.
Henry - Lovely.
Max - Too nn'ish for me, but not bad.
Eli - I like Elijah...
Drew - Okay
Elliot - I love Elliot!
Maddox - Angelina ruined this one.. plus it sounds like a disease you'd get from dining on oxen.
Sawyer - I like this for a boy.. it's fun. ;)
Charlie - No, every little boy deserves the dignity of a full name.. Charles is much better.
Boy's Middle Names:
Landon - Trendy, but nice.
John - Nice.
William - Ditto
Andrew - Again..
Nathan - I don't see the appeal, to be honest, but it's far from bad.
Ryan - This strikes me as incredibly dull.. it's so common, and there's really not much special about it.
Tyler - Great for a boy who will be 3 forever. I can't picture it on an adult.
Carter - Ehh.. a simple typo turns this into Crater
Walker - We discussed this already.
George - Very nice.
Taylor - Not a fan, personally
Elliot - Love this.
Griffin - Family guy.. I can't help but to think of that.. LOL.
Quinn - Nice
Thane - Sounds like "sane" with a lisp..
Dylan - I actually like this one a lot.
