Top Names

[twist204.livejournal.com]

Hey all, I'm sure many of you must be tired of spotlight-ers by now, but I've been looking for a site like this for a while. I add to my name list every time I hear something I like, and I thing this forum for feedback is really cool. Anyway, I don't have any kids, and I'm not planning to any time soon, but I do love names. I'd love to know what my fellow enthusiasts think of my top picks. Here are my top five, in order, for each sex.

Girls-
Lenore Amelia (Do you like Lenore or Lenora better?)
Corine Johanna
Bridie June (Typically a nn for Brighid)
Lucy Susan (Susan for my mom.)
Sadie Gray

Boys-
Emerson James
Milo Roy (Roy for my brother)
Grey Aaron (Grey or Gray?)
Daniel Jon
August Edward (nn Augie)

Thanks to all you lovely people!

LOVE Lenore, I like Lenore better than Lenora but both are nice.

I love Bridie but I think it's a cute nn not a full name. I just heard it for the first time a few weeks ago when a waitress told me about it--really cute!

I also like Amelia, Johanna, June, Lucy, Emerson, Milo, August, and Edward.

I like Lenora better, but Lenora Amelia sounds repetitive. Instead, if you like it, you could use Amelie, and have Lenora Amelie (it's French).

I also like Sadie Gray, I think the combination is really lovely.

For the boys, I like the names Emerson and Milo, but I don't particularly prefer any of the combinations.

I like Lenora but it doesn't work well with Amelia.
Lucy Susan? I'm sorry but it sounds like 'Lazy Susan' every time I think of it. lol

I really like Lenore Amelie, thanks for the idea. Sadie Gray is a combo I really love as well, but the names by themselves aren't my favorites.

I've never thought of that before, it's actually kind of funny. Since you mentioned it, what is your favorite middle name for Lenora?

[wildcannabis.livejournal.com]

Glad to help! And I agree, I don't think I'd ever have Gray as a first name, and especially not for a girl, but for some reason it just works with Sadie.

Awesome list!

I'd chose Lenora. I feel like Lenore needs an extra syllable.
I'd go with Grey.

Corine is absolutely lovely.

And Lucy used to be my all time favorite name ever, until I got my doggie and named her Lucy. She's my heart but I'm kinda upset I didn't save it for my first born child, lol.

I like you. Lenore is my daughter's name. Lenore Ardith. Ardith after my husband's late mother. Fwiw the only issue I've had with Lenore so far ( my daughter is 2) is that almost everyone calls her Lenora at first and most people have to ask twice when I tell them her name. But I wouldn't change it for the world. It totally suits her.

Love Sadie Gray - not names I'd usually pick, but they go well together. Personally, though, I'd advise against the "Grey Aaron" combo - it sounds too much like a moniker you'd give a historical figure or a pirate. If that's a combination you really like, use "Aaron Grey" instead.

Penelope icon :DDD

I love Milo and Grey the most :D Sadie is a cute name but it reminds me of someone so it puts me off it :p

I think I prefer Lenore, just slightly. I also think it sounds better with Amelia.

I love Grey. Gray never looks right to me as a name.

My son was almost Milo Gervais (Pronounced Mee-low) by I caught so much flack on it that I decided not to use it. However after that I kept all my names to myself and REFUSED to tell my family anything! I still think it's a cute name.

I also agree with Grey and not Gray. And I think it makes for an awesome name!

I have had 4 children. We tragically lost one to SIDS (the one I was going to name Milo actually) but I would love to have more still! I am still obsessed with names and I always have a list. I just joined this community so I guess it's my turn to list my favorites! :)

I love August for a boy, and Sadie for a girl..I'm also partial to Milo, but I have a little girl named Milo :)
