Hello, new to this group! Fairly new to LJ actually. I'm a good ten years off being pregnant (still a teenager) but I love names. I posted this, but deleted it off someone else's post as it wasn't relevant, but here are some of my favourite names:

-GENERAL NAMES-

BOY
Julian, Oliver, Harry, Elliott.

GIRL
Julia, Isolde, Amy, Amelia, Cressida (or Cress for short, my sister's best friend's name), Grace (as a middle name), Abby/Abigail, Lily, Imogen.

-FRENCH NAMES-

BOY
Sebastien, Olivier, Julien

GIRL
Amèlie, Aurélie, Élodie, Camille, Sophie, Isabelle

-JAPANESE NAMES-

BOY
Kaito, Takumi

GIRL
Misaki, Kyoko, Meiko.


What does everyone think?

I love all your "general" boys names, and Imogen is my FAVOURITE girls name. I plan on naming my first daughter Imogen Frances (Frances is a family name).


I've always wondered how Isolde is pronounced. Can you shed some light on the situation?

thank you!
Isolde is my favourite name at the moment - I've always imagined it pronounced as iz-old, but I'm not entirely sure. It just sounds pretty in my head :)

ee-zold

I met a German woman with the name a few weeks ago on the Metro (she was wearing a nametag so I asked her about it). She says that she goes by EE-suld. she says in other European countries people call her ee-SOLD-ah.

In english, it's supposed to be EE-sold-eh.

Of your boys names I like Elliott and Sebastian (both are names we considered when I was pregnant) and for girls I like Amy (obviously it's my name:), Abigail (that's my daughter's name), Amelia, and Imogen (I've always loved Imogen its so pretty).

Julian, Oliver - Ok, just nms.
Harry - Too Harry Potter and too hairy (don't know if you're Brit or not, but in American English they sound the same, as I'm sure you're aware.)
Elliott - Love
Sebastien - I think I prefer the more common Sebastian. It's ok, a bit fussy imo.
Olivier - Prefer Oliver.

Julia - Lovely. I'd love it if it were less popular.
Isolde - A bit too dramatic for me.
Amy, Amelia - Love, love. Especially with Amy as a nn for Amelia.
Cressida - Interesting. Is it cress-EYE-da? cress-EE-da?
Grace - Overused and incredibly dull. I'm sick of it.
Abby/Abigail - Too popular and not especially appealing to me anyway.
Lily - Nms but fine
Imogen - Nice
Amèlie - Very stronly associated with the movie. I do love the movie though. It's ok, but I like Amelia better.
Aurélie - I'm not sure about the French pronunciation but in English it sounds too much like 'orally.'
Élodie - Love. One of my very favorites.
Camille - Makes me think of hurricanes.
Sophie, Isabelle - Too overdone, sick of both of them.

I don't know anything about Japanese names so I'm not going to both commenting on those.

oooh lots of comments!

[biancasablancas.livejournal.com]

Thanks everyone for your opinions :)

Cressida/Amelia are my sister's two best friends that happen to be twins! It's more like CRESS-a-da. Everyone seems to love Amelia and Imogen.
I know one Imogen and she goes by Imi as a nn. Very cute, eh?
