BABY NAMES, what are your faves?

violets · #1 09-06-2002, 04:41 PM

Okay, I have 5 pregnant women in my life right now all demanding I help them find the perfect baby name. (The pleasures of having tons of sisters.) You see, usually I'm pretty good at this, I am a voracious reader so I've gotten many of my ideas from my favorite books...but I think I'm running out of ideas, I need help. So, what are your favorites? Boy or girl, out-there, or eternally classic, I need them all...the 5 sets of parents have very different personalities so I need all kinds of suggestions.

Boy:

Colin
James

NOTE -- But none of these are the best because those are secret! (Did anyone ever see the Sex and the City about Charlotte's secret baby name, Shayla?)

I was just thinking...if I was a Kappa Delta I would name my daughter Kaydee. Cute, huh.

Kristin, Meggen and Zak.

Well, I guess that's because those are our three kids.

Well, our adult kids.

I'll be honest...I'm not all for the weirdo, unique names.

These are my favorites:

Girls:

Samantha (and I don't mind it being Sam for short)
Savannah (maybe Anna for short?)
Krystina (aka Christina)
Kate or Katelynn

*A friend just had a baby girl and named her Evelyn...which I thought was really pretty!

*When I was going to ASU, I had a class with a girl named Winter, and she had 4 other sisters. So the 5 in total, these were their names: Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Rainy.

Boys:

Adam
Scott
Jeremy
Michael (I know its rather common, but I really do like it!)

*My ex b/f is having a son with another one of his ex g/f's, and his name is going to be Liam Michael (which is alright).

Isn't Kyle a boy's name? Reagan is the name of Linda Blair's character in The Exorcist. James will be happy that you like his name.

ADPi~Ally · #11 09-06-2002, 04:57 PM

I also read lots of books (romance mostly).
The names I like are:

Samantha
Adrianna
Corinne
Magdalen or Magdalena (after my great aunt)
Melanie
Rosalie

Mathew
Tyler
Camren
Zane
Christian
Bradly

sororitygirl2 · #12 09-06-2002, 04:59 PM

Kyle is also a girl name; I know four of them that are girls.

Peaches-n-Cream · #13 09-06-2002, 05:01 PM

I know a baby boy named Kyle and three girls named Kayla. That's similar.
I personally won't put down my hypothetical baby names because of SATC Shayla also.

First, yes, the SHAYLA episode was HYSTERICAL. I totally understand that we're not sharing our secret "Shaylas", that would be ridiculous. However, you know there are names that you love but you'd never be brave enough to name your own kid, well, some of these parents are BRAVE. I'm just trying to steer them away from a complete disaster!

So far the suggestions are fabu!
thanks!!!

SoProud2BeAnAlphaXi · #15 09-06-2002, 05:07 PM

Boys:
Beau &
Gage (my boys)
Carter
Parker
Zach
Dan (not Danny -- Dan)

Girls:
Carter
Eve
Lucy
Wallis
Ariel
Elysia
Clementine!

I also recommend looking to the soaps. Those characters have great names.
