Hey, I'm new here! My name is Rachel and I have a daughter, Cressa. (Just thought I'd add that in since it's a name place :) I'm definitely going to be a mommy again someday and lately I've been wanting one badly! But, not yet, so for now I am left to daydream about it. Names are the best part of daydreaming about kids, in my opinion. I love what the mean and how they sound and everything. When I was preggo with Cressa we picked out boy and girl names and I've found boy names are so much harder to deal with! I really want something unique but not too creative, it really needs to work in practice not just sound cool, yah know? Anyway, I've come up with two boy names that I like...

Joshua Alexander or Isaac Alexander

What do you guys think? And if you have any boy names that you particularly like, please let me know! I'm constantly looking, and boy names are so hard! I'd appreciate it so much!

Now, I really hope I end up having a boy, I've always wanted one, but yah never know so, my hubby and I have decided on the name Sophia. But we have no idea what the middle name would be, we can't agree on anything. I like Sophia Danielle. Any ideas? Also, I'm not sure about the spelling. I think I like Sophia better, but Sofia is pretty too, and I love cursive "f's" and it's the French spelling which I love too. Hmmm, now I'm wondering what the name means. That's really important to me. I don't think I even know what the boys names mean. I'll have to look that up now.

Thanks for any and all input!

I like both Joshua and Isaac Alexander but I don't think it goes well with Cressa. How did you come up with Cressa?

I like Sophia- but not Danielle. It's just never done anything for me.

Hmmm, I never even thought about that! I'm so glad you brought it up. Hmph. Well to start off with my daughter is from my previous marriage, so her last name will be different and it might not be as strange if they don't match up. And I searched the meanings and Alexander is Greek, and so is Cressa so it may not be too far off? I'm stretching it there, I know.

I am not particularly partial to Danielle, I like it because of Ever After (the movie) and the fact that I think it sounds nice with Sophia. I can't figure out what would be a good middle name with it!

And Cressa was something that just popped into my head one day during class. I was playing around with the name Tess, as I liked it in essence but it wasn't quite right. Then I looked it up online, found out it was Greek, which I love, and that it means "the golden one" which really fits her perfectly.

Thanks for the input! You gave me a lot more to think about :)

Agreed. Joshua has personal significance and Isaac has the awesome meaning. But I definitely agree.

I love this community! My issue with it is the syllables, I wouldn't have thought of the vowels! Too true.

I like Isaac Alexander better I hate the name Joshua.

BTW, Sophia means "wisdom" in Greek. I think Sophia is very pretty. Sophia Danielle is OK. What about Sophia Charlotte?

Boys Names I Like:

Brent
Caleb
Daniel
Elliott
James
Rory
Simon

It's so odd to me how Joshua is either a love or a hate. Any particular reason? I think it's kind of soft sounding, but I think that's why it appeals to me too, haha. And I like the Charlotte, but unfortunately my right breast has donned that name, lol!

When I hear the name Joshua I imagine one of those drunk asshole boyfriends.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

I'm a Sophia :-)

I like it a lot...
Sophie/a means wisdom, philosopher.. it's greek.

I always thought Sofia was hispanic?

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I just found that out! It's Sofie that is French. I just remember seeing it in French and added the "a" in my head I think. I won't steal it I swear, but I'd love to know your middle name :) As much as I want a boy - I'm in love with Sophia...

[anapology.livejournal.com]

Oh i like Joshua, just thuoght id put that in since it's got some bad comments! I would use it if it werent so popula here in England.

Sophia Olivia
Sophia Marielle
Sophia Rose
Sophia Elise
Sophia Gabrielle
Sophia Isabelle

oh lol my middle name is awful family orientated.
Sophia Mary-Kate. (I do like just Sophia Kate a lot more)

If I was naming myself i'd choose Sophia Marielle :-)

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

I love the name Olivia. I'm not sure if it works with Sophia for me though, with the "a's". I also really like Sophia Elise. Thanks!

Isaac Alexander has been one of my fave boy combinations since I was like 14. I loooooove it :)

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

Awesome, I love the name Isaac and my fiance finally went with it once there was a middle name in place.
