I just found out Friday that I'm having a baby girl...which makes me extremely excited. It's a lot more fun for me to pick girl names than boy names. I have a looooooong list of girl names and it was pretty much definitely going to be Adrian for a boy. And that's no fun, right? I mean, of course I adore the name Adrian, (1. because it's a part of my husband's name and 2. because I just like the way it sounds) but it pretty much sucks all the fun out of everything when you're set on one name from the get-go.

So, my current list is this(almost in priority order):
First Names:

Eden
Anastasia/Anastacia
Lilliana (Lily)
Tegan
Niralee (Ner-ah-lee)
Tai-San
Lark
Edie
Evie
Evan
Ariel
Sabine
Christina
Ana Maria
Candice
Lorraine
Jaclyn
Marilyn
Satine
Asia
Gabrielle
Lavender

Middle:
Rei/Rae/Ray
Dei/Dae/Day
Mei/Mae/May
Love
Hope
Joy
Faith
Rain
Dior
Chanel
Coco/Cocoa
Valentina
Rose
Lark
Holiday

I know a lot of you aren't going to be fans of my names, particularly, my middle names, so, don't tear me apart, but do feel free to suggest. I'm in a very open stage right now and very willing to add to my list.

I like glam names. I like the names of fashion designers, models, and retro actresses, among other things that can be interpreted as sophisticated or fabulous. Modern and edgy, but recognizable as a name and not WAY out of control. I don't mind common names, but OVERLY common names (Brittany, Lynn, Marie, Leigh, etc.), are icky.

My last name is Holland-Snow, but the baby will only be taking the Snow part.

My name is Gazelle Faith and my husband's name is Adrian Kiran Pride Snow, if that means anything.

I love your choices!!! Like, most of them!


I love Eden Hope. It's really symbolic, too, if that's your thing. :)

[dosequisgirl.livejournal.com]

Congrats!
I don't have much to offer, the names you've picked out aren't my style, but congrats on the baby girl!

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

Hey, your son (?) and I have the same birthday...21 years apart, that is ;)

[dosequisgirl.livejournal.com]

=) Awesome
I'm in a house full of Gemini men.

[thorabrighid.livejournal.com]

I really like Sabine Lark and Anastasia Dae. I think those would be really nice.

I realllly don't like Eden and Hope.

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

Our styles don't match up, but I really like Eden and Gabrielle. Gabrielle Rain or Gabrielle Hope would be pretty, I think. I think it also works with Faith or Lark (which I really love.)

Eden Faith would be pretty, too, but it sounds kind of ultrareligious, which I'm not sure if you are or what, so...

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

OH, and I forgot to say, congratulations!

[tinylittlestars.livejournal.com]

Haha, I have a friend called Faith, and on her bands CD there is a song called Eden. This made me laugh :P

[coconutchica.livejournal.com]

I think that Chanel is a fabulous mn

[krosp.livejournal.com]

I would pick.. Liliana Rae

For some reason I had a dream about the name Liliana last night and it's fully stuck in my head.

[quiteoutofplace.livejournal.com]

I like Gabrielle Valentina, even though I've never really been a fan of Gabrielle. I just like the combo I guess.

Ooooh girls yay!
First Names:

Eden- love. Edie is an adorable nickname. I find most middle names work with this name.
Anastasia/Anastacia- Anastasia, love but the nn stacy is HORRIBLE. I wouldnt sell it with a C, try to avoid that! I think S's are prettier anyway
Lilliana (Lily)- lovely but very popular
Tegan- dont like
Niralee (Ner-ah-lee)- never seen it before, pretty sound but it just sounds like that, a sound. I guess all names are sounds but... you know what i mean!
Tai-San- dont like
Lark- pretty, but it's another animal!
Edie- pretty, prefer Eden as the full name
Evie- aww love this so much more tha Eve/Eva. I like Evelyn
Evan - too masculine
Ariel- love it, the LM connection makes me love it even more, though it's a put of for some.
Sabine- would love to love this name (moulin rouge) but i just dont like the ending. so no...
Christina- too popular, Chistiana/Christa/Christabel
Ana Maria-Love Ana, not a fan of Marie. It's a bit plain, our names are so exotic you need something a little more out there!
Candice- tacky sounding
Lorraine- hate, olf fashioned, makes me think of quiche lorraine which makes me think of mushrooms.. yuck.
Jaclyn- dont like at all
Marilyn- haha monroe, loev to love it again, but it just doesnt sit well with me. baby marilyn? no
Satine- again i dont like the ending. Satin may be better somehow
Asia- dont like, it's a pretty name but it's a continent first.
Gabrielle- love it, also love gabriella. Elle is gorgeous
Lavender- reminds me of harry potter & Lavender Brown is annoying.

Middle:
Rei/Rae/Ray- dont like, common
Dei/Dae/Day- Day.
Mei/Mae/May- common but it fits well with most names
Love- hmm maybe
Hope- LOVE
Joy- i want to like this bcause the meaning is pretty, but i dont for some reason
Faith- again, i dont like it. too religious
Rain- i like this on a boy.
Dior- tacky
Chanel- tacky
Coco/Cocoa- i love Coco!
Valentina- love
Rose- bit of a filler but pretty nonetheless
Lark- love this as a middle
Holiday- hmm weird. its not overy weird though


what do you think of the name Lavinia?
Ava Lavinia Gardner... before Ava became so popular this combo was top for me, even though i was stealing her name! Not many people know her middle name i suppose so it wouldnt have been a bi deal

i just love the name 'Asha,' when i was a young impressionable tween i had a really cool 18-year old ("EIGHTEEN! so old and grown up!!" ;)) counselor named asha who had like. dyed red hair and wore hoop earrings and i decided that name was the coolest ever.

[oh-snitch.livejournal.com]

haha, that's awesome. i love how names stick because of a certain person.

[kissokomes.livejournal.com]

i don't mean to sound rude, i'm just very curious...are those your and your husband's given names?

they're both so completely exotic and lovely and strange, so i wondered if you two just drew the creative-parent lottery, or if you renamed yourselves. ^_^

[ex-electricr583.livejournal.com]

Yep. they're our given names. My husband's always been called Pride by his family and friends, and has pretty much used that as a first name his whole life. When people hear our names together they always think it's neat. Or stupid and hippie, depending on the person.

*shrug* I've always loved my name and felt I was lucky, because my siblings were named pretty generically (Jennifer Li, Aidan, Justin, Wren, Blake, Lark(who is my twin sister), and Tai) as were Pride's (Jay, Spencer, KC, Stephen, Scott, and Jaclyn).

[kissokomes.livejournal.com]

oh, i think it's neat. :) his siblings are pretty generic, but yours have some cool names in there. lark, wren, tai, and blake, are all awesome names.

[poespretty.livejournal.com]

I am in the same boat as you. we pretty much have decided what to name ours if it's a boy so I hope it's a girl so I can still debate over possible names for the next 6ish months. :D

I picked the names that a) I thought sounded good with your last name and b)then only the ones of those that I liked. I think Eden sounds ok w/your last name, but I can't bring myself to make up combos bc I'm not sure if I like it. hormones. lol

Tegan Joy
Tegan Rose
Tegan Hope
Ariel Faith
Ariel Joy
Ariel Hope
Evie Lark
Evie Rose

[queen-mab.livejournal.com]

I really like:

Anastasia Valentina
Anastasia Rose
Anastasia Lark
Ariel Rose
Lilliana Valentina
Lilliana Rose
Satine Valentina

Tegan Hope
Tegan Mae

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

I like:
Eden
Niralee
Lark
Evie
Ariel
Asia

I think that Gabrielle is a bit to similar to your name.
You could use Edie as a nickname for Eden. Edie on its own seems unfinished.
I like Faith, Rain, Rose and Lark as middle names. But I don't think I'd put any or them with Eden.
Eden Faith - very religious sounding and could almost be a statement about creationism (ie. "evolution didn't happen, I have faith in the garden of eden")
Eden Rain - probably the best but does sound quite sentance-y
Eden Rose - very garden-y
Eden Lark - sounding like a sentance still

I think it would be nice to share your middle name with your daughter.
Ariel Faith
Evie Faith
Niralee Faith

But others I like
Eden Mae
Eden Coco

[naturalgoddess.livejournal.com]

Awww - I love your names!!
Lavendar Rain - that one is my favorite - it's beautiful!!!
