babynamesHello peeps!
Here's the deal I am a huge nerd and the boyfriend is more... not such a big nerd. He enjoys shows, books and rpg I do but he's more neutral about it all while I am... a bit crazy. The other day we were discussing names and while we both agreed Eowyn was a good option it got me thinking about how... far I wanna take the naming thing. I would not reeeeally name my child Eragon, for example (as badly as I want to) but I still want to totally geek out with names! I am currently IN LOVE with Eragon and Maurtagh but really? I would probably be a horrible mother naming a child of mine that. So I started thinking maybe just use names that make me think of those like Morgan and... I dunno.
Another problem I have are NATURE NAMES. See... my poor child will not only have the biggest nerd ever as a mother but also a hippie. I love names like Grey, Snow, Frost, Dove, Fawn, Breeze, Rain (spelled like this), Lily, River, Leaf... you catching my drift? So again... a nerd name followed by a nature name? Too much isn't it? I've tried toning it down some but still... Are these names too much?
Boys;
Ares Jaime
Morgan Snow
Moses Aragorn
River James
Achilles James
Girls:
Lily Lucia
Luna Helena (or Helena Luna)
Morgan Frost
Grey Isobel
None of these are set in stone, just some examples I through together but... are they too much?

Date: 2013-01-28 05:11 pm (UTC)Grey is more of a boys name to me but for a girl I think it would be better as a middle name.
River James is lovely too.
I don't like Achilles but I think it's because it just reminds me of anatomy :P
Have to say I am very fond of both Eowyn and Arwen as names (read that you hate Arwen the character though) but some of the male names in LotR rub me the wrong way. Aragorn is okay as a middle though.

Date: 2013-01-28 06:22 pm (UTC)Yeah... again I would most likely steer away from the LotR boy names (*sniff*) because I have to remember this child will HAVE to use their name their entire life and I want something original and geeky without straddling them with a name that will just not work outside the moons of endor or middle earth.
