Hi, I am yet another spotlighter. This community seems to be very interesting. I have no plans to have children in the immediate future, but enjoy thinking about possible names.

I would love to give my future children biblical first names and then either my name or the father's name as middle names.

Girls
1. Hannah
2. Ruth
3. Esther
4. Jael
5. Chloe
6. Deborah (pronounced Debra, named after an old friend)
7. Abigail
8. Bethany
9. Anna
10. Candace
11. Claudia
12. Diana
13. Damaris (I like this one, but the poor girl would probably get teased)
14. Elisha
15. Leah
16. Lois
17. Joy
18. Susanna
19. Joanna
20. Miriam
21. Naomi
22. Rachel
23. Rebekah
24. Tamara
25. Zina

I really like Lois, Anna, and Abigail, and none of the other names are bad.

I don't like Jael, though, because it sounds like 'jail' to me. Then again, if you pronounce it like 'Jah-ELL,' you won't have that problem :).

Hannah

Leah

You know what's funny? Joy is a name that I used to always hate, because it was so 70s. You know, half the kids born in the 70s seem to have had the middle name Joy. Fiona Joy, Amy Joy, Kylie Joy etc.

Now I really, really like it. I think I think 'joyful' when I hear it these days.

[goldopals.livejournal.com]

It is sort of amusing (joyful even) that you use the names Fiona and Amy as an example. That is my name and my twin's name

[alyssa22.livejournal.com]

Haha. Funny. I actually know people with those names whose middle names are Joy!

[alyssa22.livejournal.com]

Oh, and someone else I know has a very sweet cat called Joy!

The Matriach (she is the oldest at about 95 or 96) at my home church has that name.

1. Hannah - Always been a favorite of mine, but hubby hates it. :-/
2. Ruth - Its a family name, but I'm indifferent
3. Esther - Don't like. I think of an old woman I knew and I can't picture it on a young person.
4. Jael - Is this Jail or Jah-ell
5. Chloe - Love this
6. Deborah - Is there any other way to pronounce it than Debra?
7. Abigail - LOVE this.
8. Bethany - Indifferent
9. Anna - Love this too.
10. Candace - Another one I like a lot.
11. Claudia - I don't like the meaning of this one.
12. Diana - Its my MIL's name so i can't use it, but I don't really like it.
13. Damaris - why teasing any more than another name?
14. Elisha - I think I like Elijah better, and on a boy
15. Leah - Love this
16. Lois - My great aunts name. I just think of older people.
17. Joy - Like.
18. Susanna - Like
19. Joanna - Like
20. Miriam - Again, I think of old person
21. Naomi - Love this!
22. Rachel - Its very plain to me
23. Rebekah - I like the Rebecca spelling more. I dont like the name really, but I do love the nickname Becky.
24. Tamara - Indifferent
25. Zina - Love it! I think I like Zinnia more though

4. Jael; Jay-el
6. Most people I know would pronounce it "De-bore-ah
13. If you slur the syllables in Damaris it can sound a little like "Dumars". Probably imagining things a little bit.
24. My cousin is called Rebekah, so I prefer that spelling

[alyssa22.livejournal.com]

Naomi is a name I like but only pronounced "Nay-omi". If I was a Naomi and had people calling me "Nye-omi" I'd want to smack them!

[goldopals.livejournal.com]

I prefer it to be pronounce Nay-omi as well.

Isn't it funny how the people we knew or TV shows watched influence the way we feel about names?

6. The kid would be called Deborah because that is how my friend spelt it. I did not come across another spelling until I was a lot older.

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

totally o.o but I doubt anyone her age will think on the show!!

[goldopals.livejournal.com]

You never know... I may own several Friends DVDs :/

[qtshorty1625.livejournal.com]

It's funny, but actually Deborah was the first spelling I knew for the name, and it was years before I saw the name Debra.

I like:
Chloe (I so blame Smallville for this)
Claudia (I so blame The Baby-Sitters Club for this)
Leah
Rachel
Rebekah (I have a friend named this)

Most of the rest of the names I'm pretty neutral on (including mine and my mom's names which are also on this list :)).

[rosabelle.livejournal.com]

I actually really like the name Ruth.

My favorites of the bunch are Susanna and Zina.

[earn-my-wings.livejournal.com]

LOVE Jael. I'd even say that you can get creative with the spelling to modernize it and make it more attractive (Jayelle, Jaelle...). It's funny because I think it's so pretty, but when you pronounce it as it is actually pronounced in Hebrew (Ha-el) I think it loses its beauty.

My best friend is named Amaris and she's never gotten teased for it. Growing up, people have actually really liked it for its uniqueness....so maybe adding a D in front of it won't change that effect too much ;) I personally love Damaris.

If you're gonna name a boy Elisha, you may as well just name him Elijah instead, haha. I just think it sounds better, and people will probably end up calling him Elijah anyway because it's easier to say.
