BABY NAMES, what are your faves?

[joliebelle]

Yes and Yes. Kayden, Madysyn and the like really just annoy me. It all sounds the same at graduation

Ugh, don't even get me started. I have 3 friends who are all due within 2 months of each other.. All naming their daughters Bella.

Stupid Twilight.

Among my friends and family members who have had kids in the last 5 years, I know 3 Madisons, 2 Kailens, 2 Aidens, 2 Landons, and 1 Addison.

Seems that every name lately ends in -en, -on, or -yn.

When we were naming our children my husband always put the words..Supreme Court Justice..........in front of the name. If the name sounded silly...it was out.

I had a sorority sister with the first name of Honi...yeah...I won't say her real last name but it had something to do with a baking ingredient. Honi became an attorney...(she was named pre Feminist)...and imagine the judge saying...Honi, do you want to cross?

[IrishLake]

Honi Flour?
Honi Sugar?
Honi Butter?
Honi Nuts?
Honi Baking Soda?

Now I'm intrigued...

I think this is bizarre. I was the only one I knew with my first name until we moved to the Midwest. I had a friend in HS with the same name then I pledged AXO and there were like 6 in the house. Now I'm in the Southwest and again I'm the only person with my name? BTW, i was born on the east coast.

If I was to have a baby right now (probably would kill myself) for a boy Griffin has been a favorite for a very long time. Girls names are a little harder for me but I'm digging Caroline right now.

BTW, both my kids have names that can go either way gender wise and they are names of cities. My mother HATED the name of my son but now says she couldn't imagine him with any other name. I wanted to name my dd Lillian after a favorite Aunt and GMa but my husband isn't fond of it. It is her middle name. I wouldn't have picked her first name either. If it had been my choice and my choice alone she would be Reagan Lillian

Family names are OUT, as there are more than enough on my tree named Andrew, James, Daniel, Eric and Elizabeth.

I usually pick first and middle names together:

GIRLS
Eva Jean
Campbell Chandler

BOYS
Mark Rodney
Farnsworth Wilcox


On a side-note: When bid days come around soon for SEC schools, check the GC links to campus newspaper lists of women's first-and-middle names. Last year, some were a hoot!

My sons name is pretty old fashioned and begins with an A. Kudos to who guesses it.

I know!!!!! But I won't give it away. I do dig it.

I have 2 names picked out with my husband, one for each sex, if we do ever adopt. They are both family names, but still pretty damn cool, if I do say so myself. I wont give it here, since I struggle to keep my mouth shut on others'ideas, and I wouldn't want the same back on me.

Abel? Amos?


I have a name picked out for a girl, should I ever have children, let alone a girl. It was my great grandmother's name. Both my brother and I were named after our grandparents. I was named after a grandmother that was not particularly beloved and my father's grandmother more or less raised him. It is a pretty old name and I have yet to meet someone with it.

[Iota Man]

I want a son eventually. Either Karim Jr. or Darnell.

[StargazerLily]

I like bible names. If I'm ever blessed with a little boy, I think I'll give him the middle name Ezekiel, so I can call him Zeke. Dunno about a first name yet.

We've already decided if we ever have a little girl, we're going to name her Cynthia, after my best friend/MOH. Without getting into too much details, or morbid....she's sick, and it's just something we've decided we want to do.

I can't STAND last names as first names (Parker, Miller, Reid, Ford, etc) and I'm not particularly fond of gender neutral names either.

Aaaaaaaaand that's why I won't put my names on here. We're planning on giving a son, if we ever have one, my mother's maiden last name as his first name. 'Cause we think the name is damn cool. Plus, we love names that have personal meaning.
