With all the new users here in the community, I thought it would be a good time to find some new name material and to do so by listing the names of our children, or for those of you who are not parents, list your favorite names!

Thanks!
I would normally prefer Brendan with an A but my dad's name is Brendon so we're naming the baby after him :)

[schexyschteve.livejournal.com]

I sense a theme. Your 3rd baby's name needs to start with a C, and so on. ;)

Yeah, I'm not so great with finding boy names I like

[keli]

I named my daughter Paxton after the lead in Danielle Steele's "Messages from Nam," and she loves her name. People don't really know whether she is a boy or girl or whether that is her first or last name but the fact she is the only one in her school district she doesn't mind.

I went more traditional with my son and named him Jack after his great-grandfather.

[schexyschteve.livejournal.com]

I'm the same way about boys names. I can think of a million girls names that I love,but I have a really hard time finding boys names I like a lot.

[hesmagicandmyth.livejournal.com]

I don't have any children, but I have cats named Shane, Lyra & Juliet and fish named Bradley and Conor. I wouldn't use those names on children, but still.

Names I like for possible future children are:

Boys: Finley, Darcy, Murray & Lennox
Girls: Estella, Georgiana, Mabel & Viviana

[renishas.livejournal.com]

My son's name is Xander Paul. If we have another boy his name will most likely be Dominic Russell. I have no idea what we'd name a girl but her middle name will be Adilfa (my mom's name and my middle name). I have dogs named Rags and Nelix.

[amity26.livejournal.com]

My son's name is Trey Ethan. I am expecting a girl in February and have no idea what to name her.

[jexia]

I have:

Alexander Damien (Xander)

and boy/girl twins

Finley Étienne (Finn) and Genevieve Madeleine (Vieve)

[jexia]

Yay for Xanders!

[renishas.livejournal.com]

I considered Alexander but I really didn't want an Alex.

[ohhowlovely.livejournal.com]

My son is Cole Lucas
& my daughter is Lyla Belle

[silver-soul.livejournal.com]

My sons are Jackson Stone, Donovan West, and Oliver Hayden. Middle names are their grandmothers' maiden names (paternal grandma has two maiden names).

[sparklymoon.livejournal.com]

No kids yet, but my nephews are Alexandre Marc and Nicholas Stephen, and my neices are Kiyah Kimberly, Kierah Simone, and Talia Jeanne. Cousins' kids are Darrien Cameron, Isabella "Bella" Rebecca, and Benjamin Viktor. I have cats that don't have human names - indoor cats: Echo, Pistachio and Kitkat; outdoor: Bisou, George, Hank and Fred (yes I name all the stray cats in my neighbourhood!)

My fave names:
Girls
Claire Margaret (after my grandmother Rita and my greataunt Marguerite)
Audrey Lorena/Philippa (my mom and grandmother's middle names are Lorraine, but my aunt passed away and her name was Phyllis so I would like to honour her as well)
Bridget, Veronica/Vera, Victoria (but I don't like any nicknames for it), Valentina, Francesca, Lucia/Lux, Viviane, Charlotte, Penelope (but it's my estranged aunt's name), Lila/Lilac, Genevieve, Helena/Elena, Serafina (but it's close to my name, Sara), Stella, Petra
boys
Robert William (there has been a Robert in every generation on my mom's maternal side since the 1700s, and my uncle was the last Robert and he passed away in 2000ish)
Henry Richard (not sure on middle name, it's my uncle who raised me)
Domenic (but it's an ex's name), Benjamin (but it's already taken by my cousin's son), Lukas, Konstantin (but I'm not in any way Eastern European, but I love their names, and nn Kostya)

Names I don't like cuz I don't think they age well: Kaylie/Hailey/Bailey (and variations), Kylie/Miley, Mc-anything (sorry, I just don't like them!), Jayden/Cayden/Brayden/etc, anything where they put an X instead of CK (Jaxon, Braxton, etc unless it's a Russian spelling with KS, which I like!), Finn/Quinn/Bryn, Marley/Carly/Harly. I guess I am more of a "classic" namer, but a lot of my old favourites became too popular - Ava/Eva, Grace, Sophia (still love! all spellings)

[unboundvoice.livejournal.com]

Ok, I'm already prepared to get a lot of hate for one of my sons names.....

Kayden Alexus (m, 9)
Dylan Matthew (m, 2)

As should be obvious by the age difference, I was really young when I had my first. I wanted to name him Kade, but his father/my ex refused. We agreed on Kaden/Caden but since it was a newer thing then and I had never heard of it before, I didn't know how it was spelled. Wish I wouldn't have put the y, but I do like how his name sounds. If I could name him all over again, I would have disregarded his fathers input and gone with Kade. Also, I let his dad pick middle name, hence Alexus. I really hate it bc it makes the name as a whole sound feminine. Oops.

For the record, I'm Sarah Virginia and my husband (father of Dylan) is Matthew Patrick.
