Just curious, is Camden a boy or a girl?

[springtide-hfa.livejournal.com]

I love Rhett and Delaney.

[jenniferdunn.livejournal.com]

Two Madisons.. surprise surprise.

Chiara pr. Key-ETTA? Interesting. Never heard it that way.

I love Delaney, Evan, & Jude.

Poor Tyler =/

Chelsie - is this like Kelsey or Chelsea?
Chiara (pronounced KEY-etta) - I'm ok on the "key" but "etta?" Wha??
Leo (nn Norm??) - Well, that's a shame. I love Leo WAY more than Norm (fat guy on a barstool anyone?)


Pretty good list overall.

How do you get Key-etta out of Ciara...?
LOl some kids have the wierdest nn's that ahve nothing to do with their names, i know a one yr old called Tye, but everyone calls him Gus, just cos he looks like a little Gus.

I kind of like Wesley. I don't know why; it's totally not my style.

[tiffrobyn.livejournal.com]

Camden is a boy.

[tiffrobyn.livejournal.com]

It's llike Chelsea.

And poor little "Norm". I totally think of Cheers every time I say his name. :(

[dosequisgirl.livejournal.com]

Okay then. I like Camden, it's actually on my list if we ever have another boy. I also like Jude, but I couldn't use it, it just wouldn't work with our last name. Most of those names are decent, some could be spelled better, and I just don't understand Chiara. Tyler is actually a unisex name, but it's used more often for boys. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't name my girl Tyler, but I wouldn't name my boy that either. It is my nephew's middle name, his first is Jeffery, but he only goes by Tyler.

To me, Tyler is the "Madison" of the mid to late 90's. Waaaaaay over used, be it for a boy or a girl.

I had never heard Camden before but I really like the name and I really like the kid, so I think I'm adding it to my list.

[dosequisgirl.livejournal.com]

I see Norm and at first I think Cheers and then I think of Norman, the calf from City Slickers.

[dosequisgirl.livejournal.com]

I've got to agree, Tyler was overused in the 90s. My nephew was born in '91 (I think, I'm horrible with these things.) I really dislike the name Madison, I prefer Madeline, but that's also overused. :(

[tiffrobyn.livejournal.com]

LMAO! Can I add you? You crack me up!

[dosequisgirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, go for it! I've got to warn you though, my life hasn't been all that interesting lately, but hopefully it won't be this boring for long. :P

wow a lot of these names are really great. some are vomit worthy, but i am surprised at how many i like!

such as: wesley, rhett, delaney, dillon, luke, kathleen, albert, and camden (one of my favorite towns in maine but i like it and it lends itself nicely to a good nickname, cam)

How could you possibly get "KEY-etta" out of Chiara? There is no T sound there. I could see going between "KEY-ra" and "KEY-ah-ra", but huh? Not a fan of Braeden or Lawson, either.

[darabelle.livejournal.com]

Leo... nn Norm


HAHHAHAHAHAHA i am cracking up.

[coconutchica.livejournal.com]

regarding Chiara (one of my favorite names) - it sounds like a Spanish or Italian pronunciation. they dont have pirate rrrrrrrr's if just a single r is in the name.

it's still an r sound but you just touch the tip of your tongue lightly behind your front teeth when making it, it sounds more like a t to English-speakers
