ForeverDiamond, I know about students I taught ruining some of my favorite names!! Isn't that amazing how connotations of words can be so strong!! As for Emilee, my number one name pick for daughter #2 was Emma, because an ADPi in my chapter had that name, and she was the ultimate, beautiful, soft-spoken, slow-drawling, perfect mannered Southern Belle. Unfortunately, "Emma" had begun to be extremely popular, and, as it turns out, another couple who was also adopting from China and who lives in our town, also named their daughter Emma, something I wasn't aware of, as we were just acquaintances at the time. Turns out Emma and Lesley are best friends at the same school, and often end up in the same class!! There's also another Chinese third-grader who lives here, and they named her LiAnne-her mother's name, Anne, and part of her Chinese name. Anyway, I'm glad we didn't go with Emma!!

Now that I've finally caught a break with classes and tests I can add to this thread. I LOVE baby names, I'm obsessed, seriously, it's sad. (I have a book full of my favorite names, furniture, clothes, strollers, etc...[think Monica from Friends's wedding book) lol.... yeah I'm 20, haha, but comeon, who doesn't get excited thinking about all these things?

My friends always joke and say since I'm "the most patient person on earth", I'm going to have 12 kids. lol- So the list is pretty lengthy.

Girls: Taylor, Mackenzie, Brittany, Mikalia, Elizabeth, Ashleigh, Madison, Lily

Boys: Kyle, Connor, Cameron, Bryan, Steven, Nicholas, Tyler, Benjamin, Matthew

I mentioned this thread to mr. honeychile last night, and how much I liked the name Ethan. His response was, "You couldn't do that to our child, could you?!" Ethan is a lovely name, it just sounds so wrong with mr. honeychile's last name! *sigh*

My little (ahem, I mean younger ) brother's name is Bryan . Good choice! ;)

Mr. FAF is a Junior and wants a "Trey." Not thrilled by that. Not that "Edward Martin FirstAndFinest, III" is so horrible, but did I mention that our CAT is named "EddieBoy"??? I told him there was NO WAY I'd let my son tell his teachers that his CAT has the SAME NAME he has!! :eek:

Of course, these talks are jumping the gun... ;)

mr. honeychile IS a third. He'd like a Quip. Nevermind that I have yet to find a generation without two other male names in my genealogy for 10 generations! I told him we better have twins... someday.

Okay I think I have watched waaaayyyyyy to much Star Wars because now I'm liking the names Anakin and Padme :D
