Well, I'm already a mother of two. My daughter's name is Courtland Elise and my son's name is Antonius Matrum. Now don't ask me about my son's middle name. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif He's named after his father so he's a Jr. Hence we call him A.J. Now according to my mother-in-law, my husband's name (first and middle) are Italian (Now ain't THAT a kick in the head? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif ) and HIS god-mother (a Caucasian woman) named him. But I guess it all worked out.

I firmly believe that we often ATTEMPT to come up with names for our children years and years before we actually HAVE them---and that's alright. But for all GCers who don't have children, this is ONE thing that MAY make you change your mind: The child's LAST name. Believe me, names haveto FIT TOGETHER and often times, the name that you chose 5 or 10 years ago may not actually fit whatever your last name may be (that is IF you're married). For example MOHAMMAD FLEMMING (now does that sound right?) http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif I had NO intentions of naming my daughter Courtland. But after I got married, I realized that the name that I chose some years back did not fit my husband's last name. I actually found a first name for my daughter a month before I gave birth to her. All I did was open the name book, close my eyes, and proceeded to put my finger on a name. Wherever my finger landed, that's what I was to name my daughter. Now I know that I was taking a serious risk and I do believe that God intervened. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif But it worked. My daughter's god-mother gave her the name "Elise" hours AFTER she was born.

Just something to think about.

Girl
Sabrena Michelle (that's my name) http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Boy
Jordan
Mackenzie
LeRoy (Just Kidding)
Shane
I wonder if parents think about how their children will be affected by the names they are giving them.

For my future children (hopefully), here are some of the names I had in mind

~Girls~
Jordan Renee
Courtney Leigh
Ryan Ashley
Morgan
Kennedy
Demerier (pronounced Deh-mar-e-yay)


-Boys-
Demerier (pronounced Deh-mar-e-yay)
Shannon

I think that unisex names are very cute, and as you can see, that's all on my list right now. I need to "branch" out though, because it's true that your child's name ultimately affects them in life.

Have a blessed day!
*Classy_Diva5*

for girls- Juliana Elise, Morgan Tyler, and Arielle Jai

for boys- Elijah Jullian, Emanuelle Ryan, Marcellus James (after deceased brother and father)

Girls:
Maya Alise

Hi All!

I love unique names. I named my daughter, Arrhia(pronouced "Aria", like in an opera)Christian. If I have another daughter, I will defnitely name her Jhai(like "Jai"). When I have my son, his name will be Mason, I just love this name.

Other names I like are:

girls: Brionna, Nakira, Mychael

boys: Kai, Jaden, Xavier, Isaiah

if i am fortunate enough to have children in the distant future...i would say cairo for a girl...and kingly for a boy...

My favorite girl name is Jayde Saja (my daughter's name), but I also really like the name Jada. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif Kimmie1913, you stole my boy name! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif Jalen Sayvion is my favorite boy name. Does anyone see a pattern here? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Hi all!

I was just told on Friday that I would be an Auntie! My sister is 3 months pregnant and we picked out names this weekend

Girl:
Jamaia (ja-my-ah) Kione (key-on-ee) Smith

and we havent thought of a boys name yet. Its really hard because she wants a unique name for both first and middle names. All ideas are welcome!

Thanks
Queencece

well....whenever i decide to have a child (praying for boys...to many women in this family)

boys: saint (after my linesister's little son, i love the St. Albert)
kristian
zahman (after my ex's brother)
or a combo of both

[i]girls[i/]: zahmill (after my ex)
shakira (after an old friend that passed)

My boyfriend's name is Clarence, so it would be:

Son: Clarence, III
Daughter: Clarice

Hello ladies of DST,

My boyfriend and I often discuss this very topic, so I just had to jump in http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif ...okay for girls' names we have considered the following:
1.1st name:Brianna (somewhere in between mine and my dad's names) middle: Victoria
2.1st name:Victoria middle:Kristina (or spelled Christina;similar to my younger sister's name)

boys'
1.1st name:Tavian (kinda like my boyfriend's name) middle:Jermaine (my fav football player's name http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif )
2.Tavon Jr. (self-explanatory)
3.1st name:Tavian middle:Christopher (to go with Christina)

What a great topic! I just know I'm going to have a girl one day. I like the way girls are adopting traditionally male names. I want to name my little girl Bradley Simone, or instaed of Simone, I'll give all my children my last name, so It can be passed on.

My bofriend is Jewish, and wants to name our sons something Biblical, so I'll leave that up to him. Boys names are hard anyway...

But what do you all think about "Bradley"?

TTT
 

baby names, anyone? ;)

I havent really thought about this seeing as how that is a LONG way from now BUT I would have to say:

Girl:
De' Aizah Patrice

Boy:
Ja' Quez Tyrell

Twins:
Shaylen and Jaylen (unisex names to be sure)

Well, I do no have any kids NOR do I plan on having any in the near future. However, I do have some names picked out. If I have a son, I am SOL because I can't come up with a name that I like. However, I have three names picked out for girls:

Aaliyah Gabrielle

Tamara Antice

Tionne Anastasia

I'm not a big fan of pain or small children so I seriously doubt any children in the near future but IF I have children one day, these are some names I like:

Boys: Samuel, Sy, Kiron, Marlon

Girls: Jacquelyn, Joelle, Rosalyn, Samara, Katherine, Shauna, Marja, Aidyl (pronounced "Ideal" or "Ah-deal" - I knew this girl who was named after her aunt, Lydia. Her name, "Aidyl" is Lydia spelled backward. I think it's so unique)

Now, I don't know about babies, but I AM getting a shih tzu puppy really soon. I'm naming her either "Cotten" or "Sweetness" :)

I just had to post a reply to this topic. I don't have any children yet but I do know that I want girls (4 of them).

So my favorite girls name so far:

Camyrn (Cameron), McKenzie, Taylor, Zenobia, Bryanna, Skylar, Ariana, Madison, Zaria, Zondra, and Christian (maybe?).

Of all those names Camyrn is my favorite.

So if I am ever fortunate enough to get married, settle down, and have children my first born will be Camryn (whether a boy --cause I might be surprised--or girl).


My first name is Courtney, so maybe I can let one of my girls use Courtney as her middle name...... just a thought.

Girls: Zarah, Zoe, Zephany, Zora


Boys: Elijah, Micah, Jonah

:)

As some of the previous posters, I don't have any children currently but I do want some after marriage.

Ariana Nicole
Kaylyn Nashae

My son's name is David Josiah but I want a daughter and when I have one my hubby and I have decided on Courtney Alicia and if we have another boy we'll name him Jordan Bruce :D

Well here are some names that I have picked out if I have another child:

Girls
Rhyane Kenedi (Ryan Kennedy )
Brooklyn Semaj (Semaj *Sa-Maj* is James spelled backwards)

Boys
Albrines Naiyati (AL- Brin-Es Nay Ya ti)
Daryth Bakari (Dare-ith Ba-Kar-E)


As you can see I like the letter Y ;)


My son's name is Trey

I'll post on this forum too:

Boys:

Asa
Orland
Bruce
Jaylen
Kellis

Girls:

Taylor
Ke'lis
Morgan

well... i don't have kids yet :(

i did name my brother's 17 month old triplets though:

*samuel charles (samuel from the bible and it was our grandfather's name)

*savanna victoria (my sis in law conceived in savannah, ga)

*samantha janeen



if i have kids of my own,

i'd like my son to be:
*noah christopher
*jacob javaughn
*adam nelson (nelson is my dad)

daughters to be:
*lola simone (lola is my grandmother's name)
*zora kamille or zora rose
*heaven reese

if had i had twin girls, i'd like for them to be called:
paige and payton

I just glanced through this thread and some of those names are past strange! Whatever happened to spelling names the way they sound and vice versa. A child has to live with his/her given name the rest of its life. A teacher shouldn't have to figure out what on earth a child's name is and that child shouldn't have to hear its name mispronounced. It is a proven fact that children with extremely unusual names have a harder time in school because children like to be like everyone else. Other children can be cruel also and a name is one way to make fun of peers. Think ahead - with a name like Precious (or worse), how can one be taken seriously in a career. Everyone is entitled to her own opinion and now you know mine!

I would have a few names to choose from:

Boy:

Kiernan
Dean
Mikhail


Girl:

Aris Nicole or Neekol-------Pronounced (Areece)
Jannah ----------Pronounced (Hannah)
Raylah

I have a friend that has a friend (are you following me) that named her daughter:

Heavenly (first) Blessing (middle)

What do you think about that?

------------------
Thats nothing I know a girl that named her Daughter

Cashe (first) Monet (middle)

Even though I want all boys, I only have a few names...
I like:
Nemiah
Jelani
Maceo
Jules

For girls:
Dahlia
Cydney Denice (after my grandpa and mother)

Gryl7 I like Aris too! :D

well, like i said earlier, heaven is a name i'm considering if i ever have a daughter, but i'm not feeling heavenly blessing....

i know a minister here in atlanta...his child's name is:

heaven myjoy

not feeling that one either.....

My sister just had her daughter a month ago, and she named her Aaliyah Simone. We all thought that was pretty and very fitting for her...well I may be partial because she's my niece!

Names
 

I have one son and his name is "Joshua Perry".

If I had another his name would be.....Caleb.
If I had a daughter, her name would be.....Madison.
