I have a LONG way before I have kids but I KNOW that if i have a daughter she must have the name Victoria. She will be named after my godmother who "mysteriously" died last year. I didnt get to speak to her before she died so i wanted to remember her through my daughter... which she always wanted to see before she died. now i know how kids are about having an adult name so I will call her Tori for short.

My son's name was Tedran(Teh-dran)(Ted after his father) Alvin(my father's middle name) but he was a stillborn. The name didnt flow too well to me but it had meaning to me.

Roll Call
 

I know I'd like to name my first daughter after my grandmother, and a son after my father, but until I get married nothing is set in stone. However I grew up with some people who had :eek: names, and some of them are something else. Not one of these is made up either. San Francisco was an interesting place in the 80s. Please put down all drinks as to not spit all over your monitor and keyboard because some are :rolleyes:

Summer Eve
Skye Blue
Joyful Noise
Harmony & Melody (twin girls)
Romeo & Juliet (twins)
Upson Downs
Moonwater (she had no legal last name)
Acacia, Juniper, & Manzanita (triplets)
Mercedes & Porsche (sisters)
Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn (sisters)
Rainbow (there were three)
Freedom & Liberty (twins)
Adnil (Linda backwards)
Rhiannon (at least 3 girls, I think Stevie Nicks was on repeat)
Divine Peace
Brahma Shiva
and at summer camp in my cabin I had THREE girls named Princess

There were a lot of kids with really neat names that honored their heritage, but weren't unfortunate. I was very very very lucky not to be named Borghild! Oh and weren't there names that were really popular? We had a lot of Aishas (various spellings), Tameikas (various spellings), Jennifers, and Chris was popular for the boys.

Re: Roll Call
 

hey, i like that. my name is melody and i had a teacher who used to call me harmony and i thought it was cute

Re: Re: Roll Call
 

That wasn't one of the ones I meant, I think Summer Eve was the MOST unfortunate. That poor girl had a hell of a time.

So you know I have to turn this n2 a joke..

I used to want to name our future son Lance II after myself, but since my wife insists on calling him by his middle name if we do that I nixed that idea. Her rationale is that it would cut down on confusion, but I don't believe in calling a child by their middle name. If I want to do that, it would make more sense to just make that the first name. She has a cousin that is a Jr. and is always referred to by his middle name so she doesn't see the problem. All of the Jrs and thirds in my family are still called by their first name.

Right now we are leaning towards Cameron for a boy or Gabrielle for a girl.

Re: So you know I have to turn this n2 a joke..
 

LOL. But Muffin and Kitty are actually fairly "aristocratic" and damn near preppy names. Take a look at New York Social Diary.:p

The one thing I know for sure is that if I have children, I will NOT saddle any child with the headache of having a name that's difficult to spell or pronounce. I've known:

Nneka
Liisa
MyJenay (my-zhen-AY)
Yamaich (pronounced ya-MEE-ka)

I can't count how many hours these women spend every week spelling their name OVER and OVER on the phone...sending misprinted credit cards back to the bank...repeating their names three or four times to new business contacts who still can't get it right...

I have a rule that if you put "Chief Justice" in front of the name and it sounds implausible, then don't name your child that. It's not a coincidence that our female justices are named Ruth and Sandra. There will be no "Chief Justice Stahr'lyte Khrysteen" in our lifetimes.

Re: Re: So you know I have to turn this n2 a joke..
 

Oh but of course. Excuse my ignorance........LMAOO...LOL

Now you know I forgot the all time classic name.................drum roll...................and the forgotten name is...........PUNKIN!!!:p :D :p :D

I guess I'm partial to Taylor as that is my daughter's name.

Taylor Ayanna:)

TTT (BAW) *bored @ work*
 

I don't think I ever responed to this thread :)

If I was to be blessed with a son and a daughter, here are their names (this year anyways...)

Ryan Beccah
Sanaa Ame (pronounced Ah-may=Japanese for rain)
Toni Christina

My cousin had a baby and he let his wife pick the name. CLAWD have mercy. Ol’ girl combined their names with their mothers’ to come up with a 17-letter monstrosity. After repeating it for me 3 times, he finally said, “the third ‘T’ is silent.” I was too through. She has a middle name too but I don’t remember what that is.

As for me, my next child will be either Dreux (pronounced - Drew) Alexandre or Anne-Marie Sabrina.

For my future baby girl:
Nichelle Leianna

if I had another girl- Kaleaha Simone

For my future baby boy:
Maliek Jailen

...I guess I would leave the next boys name
to the father...lol

I have a big list of names
but those are the above are the ones
I like the most...

For a girl if I ever end up so fortunate:
Aaliyah Anastasia
Victoria Marie
Brianna Sharie *pronounced Sha-ree*

For a boy:
Diontae Angel Nasir
DaKota Quantavious

I had to make sure I haven't posted here

Shelby
Jamison
Rhys
Corin

I have always like Caleb. And I only know one Micah and he was THE CUTEST baby I ever saw - whew!

I have some soap opera names I know. But, I scratched Micah from my list four years ago. I had the most horrible student by that name...had me changing my nonexistent son's name. The little hellion!

If it's a boy.......Brandon Xavier

If it's a girl........Brandi Janae'

I wanted my girl name to be Neveaeh (heaven spelled backwards) but I know 2 many people that have named their kids that. I like Jordan 4 a boy or girl but they need 2 be hella cute if it is a girl name. All girls that I know named Jordan are really pretty.
My best friend is having a baby and it is a boy and we (me,her, and baby daddy) just agreeed on a name.
Kaylen Jamius (ja-my-is). If it was a girl we liked Kimorra (I don't think it is spelled that way)But that is the Baby Phat lady's name and it is cute.

GIRLS:

Tailah (pronounced 'ta-EE-la)

Rialyti (it's sounds like the word reality; I just thought it was unique and it's cute for a name to me.)

Nyasia

Brazille


BOYS:

Quentin

Taylor

Moses

Malachi
