word names

[krosp.livejournal.com]

What are some normal everyday words that you think would make great names, if only they weren't a word. e.g. Alien... if you can forget the meaning, I could imagine it being someone's name

I don´t think they would be great for a child BUT I know that they are existing !

I know I can think of a lot more....will post them later ^^

I know I've seen "Chlamydia" on here as a name that fits this category.
I just sometimes realise a word sounds like a name but can't remember anymore what they are

Serendipity is a such a pretty word sometimes I wish it was a name. And yes, I realize I could "make" it a name but considering it means 'fortunate mistake/accident' I don't think that's a good idea for a child lol.

I think someone here mentioned Candide one time as fitting something along these lines.

[krosp.livejournal.com]

mmm yeah I know what you mean about Serendipity.

Hmmmm how about Veranda? :P it sounds like a name.. cross between Vera and Miranda

[bloomingtulip.livejournal.com]

wow, it definitely does! I wonder if anyone's ever actually used that one b/c it seems possible

[anapology.livejournal.com]

I know someone called Vanda.. kind of almost veranda!

Serendipity is my favorite word.
I might name a pet Serendipity someday, but never a child.

That was me. I had a gorgous friend named candidde and I've laoved the name since. Until I found out "Candida" was Lating for yeast infection... I also like the word "Epiphany".

Sibilance

Myriad.

I really, really wish I could name a child this. Alas, I cannot.

[queen-mab.livejournal.com]

That's one of my favorite words.

Lyric

[shyloh.livejournal.com]

Ashley Angel Parker's (O-Town) son's name is Lyric.

[5thousandkisses.livejournal.com]

That's funny. It would strike me as a girls name if anything.

[elsh.livejournal.com]

Frighteningly, people do name their kids this lately (or want to).

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

Hah, Lyric is my favorite name for a boy :)
I know that it's not everyone's cup of tea, but both myself and my boy adore it.

Adrenaline, I always thought was pretty :P

my brothers called me Alien. my real name being Adrienne. I guess cause they kinda sound alike.

I knew a girl named Ailyn (eye-leen) in elementary school and everybody called her Alien.

I have cats with word names (not that I'd ever do that to a human being). One is Globe (there's a story behind that) and the other is Gatito (the Spanish word for kitten).

I think Zinc might sound cool as a name if it weren't a word. Maybe Cinder? I don't think it would make a great name, but sounds enough like one. So many words have been made into names, so that might already be one. I can't think of anything that I think would sound great, but here are some words that could sound like names: simile, duet, ecstasy, envy, eucalyptus, martial, pawn, rosary, sable, saffron, zenith, allergy, chamois, pashmina..

Many words that sound like they could be names (that I come across) I'm afraid have already been used as such...even when they shouldn't be. I hope this post doesn't give people ideas. :p

I named my cat "What"

True

[shyloh.livejournal.com]

Kirstie Ally's son's middle name is True. He goes by that.

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

That's actually quite beautiful!

[lilfaeriegirl.livejournal.com]

i know a guy who's name is True-Sun Allah.

No joke.

After you read the book As She Grows, you'll never want to name a child Snow.

I'm an exception, however. :]

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, it's good, but the character is not someone you'd want to associate a child with.

It's about a girl who gets pregnant when she's fifteen, and is into the whole drug and sex scene.

[shyloh.livejournal.com]

I love the word Echo. I would use it as a name if...I were a celebrity.

[elsh.livejournal.com]

I thought of one I might like if it weren't a word: anemone.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

CLEMENTINE.
As anyone who has ever seen what my icon is about, you can probably guess why.

Would a kid get teased too often with a name like Clementine?
