Help Needed Please!!

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

Ok, so my gf and I are about to start trying for a baby. I have had a list of names I've liked for years..But only girl names. No boys. I could use some boy names..and here are my girl names. You can help with middle names as most of them are just first names. The last name will be Conger.  Feel free to change up the ones I have as to what you think will sound better.

Willow
Rogue
Harper
Aislyn  I pronounce it  (AS LYNN) like it or not..thats how I want it to be
Lyric
October
Quinn 
Scout

And I remembered a boy name i liked...Gideon.

I was thinking...
October Quinn
Lyric Harper
Willow Quinn

May I ask, why October?

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

I like the way the name sounds..and it is different.

[cloeigrrl.livejournal.com]

I've always seen Quinn as a boy's name but I was recently told it goes both ways.

I like Willow Quinn though that sounds nice.

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

I just remeber Quinn from tha show Daria. She was her sister. I like Willow Quinn..has a nice sound to it. I like the unisex names...mine is Jordan..so it is one as well.

I like Aislyn Lyric...thanks!!!

[lavandersparkle.livejournal.com]

May I ask why Rogue?

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

Ever since I saw XMen I loved the name..so different and unique. It just rolls off the tongue.

[washironfucketc.livejournal.com]

Aislyn is pronounced ASH-lin, just to let you know.

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

Maybe so..But I like it pronounced AS LYNN

[zorianna.livejournal.com]

I actually kind of like October...it's definitely different, but almost a little too different for me to ever want to use. But I've always liked names of uncommon months [ex. January or July instead of May, June, April, etc.] And though you'll almost definitely get flack from people on here for Lyric, I love it because I babysat the sweetest girl in the world named Lyric for years, but now I'm just afraid that people will associate it with Ashley Parker Angel's son. Her name was Lyric Rae, though, just a suggestion. I also really like Willow, but I'm not crazy about Quinn for either Willow or October. It sounds a little too harsh, especially with October.

Some boys names suggestions that I would have are Castor, Taston, Garrick, or even Quinn, which could be a boys name.

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

Well I would have never known that Ashley Parker Angels kid is Lyric. But I think it is a beautiful name. Not to fond of the boys names...I like Castor the best though. Thanks alot!!!

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

I like... Quinn. I'd stay away from Harper and October since the "er" in Conger too. Aislyn makes me think of the lion in The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe, which then just makes me think of Jesus... Lyric is just... ghetto to me and the rest are too connected to characters for me to like.

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

Thanks Anyways!

[a-l-l-smiles.livejournal.com]

I love Harper! It is on my list of girls names

I hate Lyric

I dont like months as names!

I like quinn and scout but would never use them

the rest are just not my style and i dont love or hate them

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

What middle name do you like for harper?

[lacuna.livejournal.com]

I *love* Gideon. It's my absolute favourite above any another name, male or female.

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

Me likes too!!!

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

Well according to IMDB her name was both Rogue and Marie. And yes, Rogue is a name. I like Aislyn pronounced AS LYNN. And as far as Scout, Scout is a name. I dont know who the hell Jean Louise is.

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

Love Love Love Willow Quinn. Beautiful.

Good luck!!

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

oh, and I was going to say, I adore "Lyric" for a boy... hate it on a girl.

I actually adore "Rogue" as well, but I wouldn't dream of giving it to a child since a rogue is a vagabond, tramp or theif... I do plan on using the name for a dog or cat someday though.

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

I just like the name October..well Harper is like last one my list..so no need to worry about that.

[ky-whitney.livejournal.com]

Willow - LOVE LOVE LOVE
Rogue - Xmen
Harper - Iffy
Aislyn - Adorable
Lyric - Love it, different.
October - Interesting
Quinn - No
Scout - OKay

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

I love Willow and October the best. I just wish I could figure a way to use them all as a first and middle. I dont know what soudns good with what.

[naturalgoddess.livejournal.com]

This is just too hard! I love them all, and they're each so unique!! I hope your gf will think just as highly of them.
Funny though, I think you're the first guy I've met who's actually had a babyname list!!

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

Well Im a GIRL...And I am glad you like them all.

[quixocado.livejournal.com]

I don't get why everyones all freaked about Aislyn. If you just straight up read it, it's pronounced "Ays-lynn", I don't see the "Ash" at all and would have never guessed. You can pronounce it anyway you like.

Lyric has actually made the top 1000 baby names a few times. Its not all that uncommon anymore. Willow is also becoming popular.

I like October, it sounds nice, but I'm not a big fan of the Oc sound. I like "day" names, too.. Saturday, Tuesday, etc.

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

Thanks..I feel the same way about the Aislyn thing. No ASH there to me..

My honest opinions:

Willow - Very pretty name. Do you like Buffy (the show not the name!)? If not you may get sick of people saying "oh, like the girl in Buffy the Vampire Slayer?". If you do like it I guess this wouldn't be a problem!

Rogue - Oh no. I love X Men but this isn't even the character's real name. If you think about what it means as a word I think it has negative connotations. You could always give her Rogue's real name and call her Rogue as a nickname?

Harper - I quite like this, it's unusual without being too "out there".

Aislyn - Ok, I do see your point here, but... I think you'd spend ages having to correct people who pronounced the name as it's supposed to be pronounced. I also think it would reflect badly on you in a way. I mean, if I met a girl named Sinead I'd automatically pronounce it "Shin-ade", as that's how it's supposed to be! If the parents then said "actually, no, it's 'Sin-ee-add'", I'd think they were pretty dumb for naming their kid something they couldn't even pronounce! That's just my opinion. To be honest, I'm not a massive fan of the name however you pronounce it.

Lyric - Not my style, sorry.

October - Not my style, but for some reason I do actually kinda like it. One of those things. Would you shorten it? I knew an Octavia who went by "Occie" and I always thought that was bad...

Quinn - I think of it as a more masculine name but I know it's unisex. It's ok. Not bad.

Scout - Meh. I'm with the other person who pointed out that Scout in "To Kill A Mockingbird" wasn't the character's real name. I know some people do use this as a name but I've never understood why to be honest.

[velvetheart.livejournal.com]

Willow - Very pretty name. Do you like Buffy (the show not the name!)? If not you may get sick of people saying "oh, like the girl in Buffy the Vampire Slayer?". If you do like it I guess this wouldn't be a problem!

I have to agree with this statement, I absolutely HATED the Buffy show and half the time that I tell people my daughter's name is Willow they ask if I'm a Buffy fan.. which I'm NOT, I chose that name when I was 13 years old (after seeing the movie Willow about the dwarf) paired with my mother's name I had my child's name Willow Anastasia (On-ah-stah-see-ah) in my head for 15 years before I had her.

[elemmennope.livejournal.com]

Willow - I've always found it too passive and meek-sounding. I'm surprised I don't like it because I love nature names and I love willow trees. But as a name, I've never cared for it.

Rogue - Rogue is a very popular brewery here and I have a hard time thinking of anything but Dead Guy Ale. I'm unable to think of this a name, particular a girl's name.

Harper - It's ok. I'm not into the surname-as-first-name trend though, so it doesn't appeal to me much.

Aislyn - I suppose you can do whatever you want, but it looks stupid. I'd raise my eye brow as much as to a Sean who wants to be called "Seen" and a Sinead who wants to be called "sin-eed." It's just wrong and ignorant.

Lyric - Fine

October - Doesn't really work for me, but the nn Toby would be cute anyway.

Quinn - Eh. It's ok.

Scout - Childish. Ok for a kid, but I'd feel ridiculous as a professional woman with this name.

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

I like the October..Toby thing..thanks. I also like Jillian Scout...sounds good together to me.

On Rogue:

My dad was so dedicated to naming me Storm, after the X-Men, up until about a few hours after I was born. I promise you, if my mother had not put her foot down and named me something normal, I would have stopped talking to my dad a long, long time ago and be going by my middle name.

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

Willow - no. Willa is much better imo
Rogue - are you serious?! wow that is hideous.
Harper - snore, so dull and masculine sounding. when I think of a harper, i think of a nagger
Aislyn - yuck
Lyric - ewww
October - horrible
Quinn - decent enough
Scout - AWFUL!! wow! like a BOY scout?! horrendous.


Sorry but your names sound like you are really trying to be "different" and actually they're all pretty cliche.

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

Sorry you feel that way. Thanks anyways.

[velvetheart.livejournal.com]

I understand wanting to have a unique name for your child, but I think maybe instead of trying to find 2 names that are unique - you might want to choose a combo of one name that stands out and another more tradional classic name so that if your child hates his or her name they have another name to "fall back" on.

The reason I point this out is that while my parents gave my 3 brothers very common, traditional English names I got saddled with 2 hideous and difficult to pronounce Spanish names. While I've never had to worry about having 2 or 4 other kids in my class with my name - I do to this day have to correct people or teach them how to say my name. Also my names don't really have suitable nicknames so I was always just STUCK.

Having said all that, of what you have listed - my thoughts are:

Willow - love it as it's my daughter's name (NOT after Buffy!!)
Rogue - As a nickname - ok, but as a first name, no - it's cruel
Harper - I think this name could go either gender but it makes me think of yuppies rather than hippies... in other words a bit snobbish
Aislyn - Your child will spend her life correcting people or even ignore your wishes and go with the actual Ash-lyn pronunciation.. which can you live with doing to her?
Lyric - It sounds very ghetto and cheesy
October - Not a fan of month names, but at least that's my favorite month.
Quinn - I like this, but not paired with Willow as in my head I also hear "Harlequinn".
Scout - Bruce Willis and Demi Moore have a daughter named Scout, but since they are famous I think it's easier for them to pull it off. It makes a better name for a Jack Russell Terrier IMO.
Gideon - I like this name.

Suggestions:

girls:
Fiona
Harley (rather than Harper)

boys:
Declan
Felix

[jojodancer77.livejournal.com]

Thanks for your words. I see what your saying about Aislyn, but I like it and I think I could live with that. I love Willow, and Buffy made me like it even more. I do like Fiona, but not Harley. I work at a dog groomers and too many Harley's come in here. I like Deacan, not sure about Declan.
