re-do of my list

[wykd-faerie.livejournal.com]

So to remind everyone, i'm not having kids for a few years, but my boyfriend and i love talking about names. I'm 22 and i love sort-of different names. We're not big on middle names because he doens't have one, but i have a few ideas.



Girls:
Autumn Christyna (spelling after my best friend)
Layla
Mandalyn (leave the name alone please, i've liked it for years now)
Serenity

Boys:
Liam Michael
Owen Michael
Nathanial Jordon
Jordon
Benji (newly added because my boyfriend liked it and i think it's cuuute and he can grow with it by going by Ben if he needs to)

any other ideas more than welcome.

I like Layla and Mandalyn, although I think it's better as a middle name. Manda is a sweet nn. If you're worried about opinions, you can name her Amanda Lynn and call her Mandalyn. :D

I love Liam, Owen and Nathanial.

Benji is a dog's name unless the person is Benjamin. Then it is great!

if someone names their kid Benji (which I know one guy named that) then it is no longer just a dog name, but a people name too

but that doesn't stop most people from associating Benji with a dog, not a person, or thinking that Benji the person has a dog name.

Layla is one of my faves right now, and I've always loved Mandalyn.

Those are my three fave boy names! Haha.

Benji is the name of my favorite dancer on the new season of the show So You Think You Can Dance (dance competition in the US) and while watching it with my boyfriend, he said it sounded really cute. And he just informed me he loves Dimitry (another dancer only he spells it traditional Russian, "Dmitry") it ties into my heritage (my mother's family is Russian).
