[۞ Starlight ۞]

This is just a random question (well kinda) But....

If you were to choose three boys names and three girls names what would they be???

[glow=red,2,300]Girls:[/glow]

Very difficult

I like girls names with "ph" (and sometimes "ie"/"ë" ) - no idea why)

Sophie
Josephine
(embarrassed to say I rather like the names Chloë and Zoë )


1. Try a modern name - like from TV
2. A name you really like
3. A name from your own family / and or traditional name

Eek, you've just reminded me of baby names. Friends who've been naming children sometimes settle arguments by providing a middle name.

There are loads of names I like from books but they were sound pretentious if you met a person with them, or named a child. I have a friend who has a son called Eden Oscar Zebedee Watts (poor kid). At least when he's older he'll have a choice

Boys

I find biblical names fairly dull: David, Paul, Tom - but reassuring husband names, I guess. Spanish names can be fun!

1. Paulo
2. Jesus (pronouced "Hes-oo" ;D)
3. Rodrigez

Okay ignore them. My friend Toby named one of his children Zachery. Zach makes me think of sci-fi films for some reason.

We call him Toby, Toby is a nice name, but he insists that his name is "Tobias" (my friend Dan calls him "Toby-ass" )

Movie actors have the strangest names. I imagine walking in the park shouting the names of my children "Keanu! Raith!" ;D

Some names are clearly butch-gay "Bruce" for example, or whimpy like "Edward", "Edwin" and "Ethelbert". Ironic, because these were the names of warrior kings! Adopted by parents who sent kids to upper class public schools I guess.

Hey, I've just thought, Alexander is a pretty cool name if a person is into warrior-kings and wants a selection of nicknames.

Drutsucalex, have you ever been called Al or Xander or Lex?

Roman-Catholic names and saint names are good if a person wants to celebrate a birthday in France - i.e. anniversary day - I'm guessing there's only 365 names to choose from although I think most of them are Marie-Clare, Jean-Paul, Paul-Jean, Clare-Marie etc.

God, I'm a nerd.

Maybe I have name issues. The number of Williams was neither commonplace nor uncommon until Prince William was born. Now every other loud drunk student is called "Will" - on a Saturday night it can be quite confusing ...
I've never taken to being called Bill. Why is B and W interchangeable? Anglo-german phonetics? Its "Gu" in French.
My middle name is "Raymond" which is just strange. I could be "Billy-Ray" if I wanted to be.
Sorry, babbling.
I could be Kaiser Bill!

Loads of sites on the net about the meanings of names.

Suddenly I'm thinking of the name "Miranda" - does it mean "moon"?

[Tinkerbell]

Dude you've thought about that way too much!

[Goblin King]

I spend most of my evenings comatose then bam! at 12.00pm I become Einstein ... it's a curse.

[۞ Starlight ۞]

Ive re thought my boys names
I like:

Byron
Blaine
Caden

[Goblin King]

Byron is pretty cool.

[Count Überquart]

"Blaine" sounds really... camp.

And I remember why!

California Girl Barbie's boyfriend was called Blaine.

Boys:
Lex - I like Lex. I know a Lex. Lex sounds cool, but calling a kid Alexander would be annoying, because people could call them Alex or Andy. Which wouldn't be as good. Lex is cool.
Diego.
Mylem.

Girls:
I'm not huge on girls names. Some of them are so gay...
Skye
Red
Raegan

I also like the name Ramsey.

But hey. I hate normal names. I'd be a really nasty parent, all my kids would have bizarre names, like "Window-Wiper".

[Goblin King]

Clo. I think you'd be a cool mum! ;D

"Oi Windy!"

[Thrin]

I like Oliver

And Desdemona

[Goblin King]

Desdemona? I'm sure that would be a bad luck name. Girls called Desdemona should avoid Venice, big pillows and Moors.

[Count Überquart]

And be exceedingly careful with their handkerchiefs.

my old art teachers daughter was called Samantha Charlotte Elizabeth so that as she was growing up she had plenty of nicknames to choose from til she found the one that best fitted her.

[♥ Love Stoned ♥]

Thats sweet.
Wow Will sounds clever.
Cleverness... on an online forum?
Never!

My names almost like that... Charlotte Elizabth May Morris
Chaz Liz May Mo


I like Bernand. After Bernards watch. I bum that program.
I was named ater 'Charlotte Some times' It was a book.
Elizabeth was my mums grandma.
May was my dads Choice.
He wanted to call me Monica. I wish I had been.... so much more exciting and less old fashioned.
I may change it.
If I can be assed
So no
Charlies ok. Charlottes not.
Lottie is a nice name.
No one but my nan calls me it

[someone]

well saved Shimmer

my siblings and i all have one english and one welsh name. i'm Charlotte Lowri, my brother is William Rhys and my sister is Elizabeth Sian. I'm Lotts/Lottie, he's Rhys, she's Lizzie. LOL.

having argued about the name Max in physics lessons for the last 2 weeks i've now grown rather fond of it... so either Maxwell or Maximillian.

[Thrin]

It means daughter of the devil! Lol I'm not cruel enough to do that to a child. Not as a first name anyway. As a middle name however...

[Goblin King]

Middle names are good for vengeance.

[tiggbaker4]

Its the meanings that can be a problem ....... when we were looking for a girls name when I was pregnant with our 4th child the only one we both liked meant ............. cow so we were quite pleased we had a boy!!!

[Goblin King]

I bet it was an old greek name - in Homer's Illiad they keep referring to women having cow-eyes - a complement of beauty and value probably. Of course, there's also lots of stuff about cows as gifts and blessings. I guess the closest we have now is "doe-eyes". Rachel means "sheep", I guess it would still be a bit of a curse to be called "cow" ;D

[Thrin]

Now I'm wishing I knew someone called Rachel who's Welsh.

[lollipop]

I do know someone called Rachel who's Irish... not really the same though, is it?

[someone]

i know a fair few Rachels who are Welsh/half Welsh.

[Goblin King]

Heh ;D Did they have really curly hair?

[Tinkerbell]

I know a Rachel who practically has an afro and loves sheep! ;D

[Goblin King]

Ah, well, that proves it then. ;D ;D ;D

Charlie, Lottie, Lizzie, Eliza, Beth...?

[Goblin King]

(It's not bad that she has both a month and a brand of car in her name )

[DAT500]

Max Power.

[Count Überquart]

Our new drama/dance studio at school is called The Max after the head of governors... We were thinking how funny it would be if he was called Peter...
