Girls names...my list
Sep. 11th, 2006 12:12 pmI'm having a hard time with girls names. There just aren't many I like. A lot of these I'm unsure of...
Abigail (we both like it) nickname Abby
Addison (I know the meaning, I still like it, but not sure if I would use it)
Adriana (I've always liked this name, but I'm not sure anymore)
Alaina (I love it)
Amelia (I love it, but it seems very popular now)
Arden (the community my fiancé grow up in, it's growing on me)
Audrey (I like it, but Audrey Kirby doesn't sound so pretty)
Aurora (I'm afraid my daughter wouldn't be able to say her name until she was five, maybe middle name)
Ava (I like it)
Belle, Bella (middle name only)
Billie (this was my mother's name, if I could find a way for it to work I would consider using it for a middle name as a tribute to her)

Date: 2006-09-12 12:35 am (UTC)Helena - Love it, but prefer He-LAY-na. Mostly because that's how we usually hear it, but also because we're pretty set on Serena for girl #1 and that's too rhymey.
Corinna - LOVE, but hubby prefers Serena so it's been vetoed because of the rhyming thing again.
Audrey - His grandmother's name; we like it as a MN for Helena.
I also really like Adriana (I'd be seriously considering it if it were less popular) and Carina.
I really can't stand-
Addison (boy's name to me)
Billie (but it'd be find as a MN tribute)
Brynn (It just looks so trendy and doesn't sound very nice)
Cameron (boy's name and the meaning sucks as well)
Charlie (cute as a NN for Charlotte, horrible as a given name... I don't even like it as a given on a boy)
Reese (I like it spelled Rhys, but only on a boy)
