Yeah, me too. Considering they're my first and last names respectively. zomg do you know me or something? :O

So yeah I would name my son Victor. Not sure about middle name though because although Xavier is a pretty much the best middle name ever, I don't want to make my son a 'Jr.' or a 'the Second.' I might say Leon but I'm not sure.

Well... You're name is incredibly distinctive, and the chances of this happening urges me to invest in lotto tickets.

I dunno, Richard.

Or, if it's a girl, go with something exotic, like Santamaria!

I'm not too sure what I would call a son of mine, but it sure as hell would not be a common name like Peter, Simon, David, James, Chris, Paul. ¬_¬

I would go for somewhat rarer names like Eddy, Edgar or Lukas. I dunno ¬_¬

For a girl I quite like the name Rachel, the only name that has really got my attention.

For a girl's name, my two top choices are Rosalina and Zoe. Rosalina comes from my mother's mother Rosa, and my father's mother Lina. Zoe is the name I would have had if I was a girl, assuming my father had had his way. Or was that Zelda?

For a boy, probably John William. John comes from my father's father. I never met that grandfather; in fact, I didn't know he was alive until we got a letter from his family saying he had just died. William comes from my father, who died when I was 9, so I'd like to include that as well. I might name a son after my mother's father Gaspare, considering he died when my mother was a child and I'd like to continue the name, but there's something about the name I just don't like.

Of course, in both situations (boy or girl) I'd like to include my spouse's grandparents' and other family members' names as well.

As for my father's step-father (the only grandfather I ever knew, who died when I was 2), I'm already named after him. I certainly don't want to pull a George Foreman; talk about uncreative, naming all his kids after himself.

I've considered names since I was a little kid - mostly because that seems to be what girls do at slumber parties or some shit.

Anyways, I think we're pretty decided on Kallisti for a girl and Loki for a boy. I figure our son would be intensely made fun of, but hopefully he'll live up to his name in retaliation. =D

Let's not even get into Discordia, shall we?

Discordia! Another wacky way to punish my kid before they have conscious choice!

I'll add Persephone, Athena, Minerva for the girls.

For the boys: Apollo, Dionysus, Hephaestus

The mythological theme is really distinctive. :)

For girls I've always liked the names Julia, Lucy, Emily and Elizabeth. None of those Madison/Taylor fad names for my girls. Although I think Emily is still pretty popular.

For boys, I don't really care, I'd let the mother decide. As long as it's not Michael, Matthew, or any other overly-common Biblical derivative.

I'm unsure why half of these names are bad ideas. Athena? Doesn't sound too bad to me. I had a friend in high school named Athena. Minerva is pretty hilarious, though. And Persephone would probably go over well as a goth bitch.

Dionysus is actually not that bad, either. You could modernize it with "Denis," though.

I have some names in mind, but it would mostly depend on what the father looked like.

Boys: Victor, Trevor Gordon, Trent, Julio Augusto, Dallas, Houston, Robert, Tobias

Girls: Aria Sonnet, Libra, Daniella Libra, Maya, Maria, Rachel, Cherokee

These are all of the possiblities that I can think of for now. However, the chances of me finding a decent guy that won't dump me for my friends is a long shot, so if the names sound dumb then you have nothing to fear. However, some of the names like "Tobias" and "Daniella" I'm worried about b/c I don't know how much I really like the name "Toby" and I would get extremely angry if anyone called my kid "Danny" (I know very few good guys named "Danny" or "Jimmy"/"James").

ROFL. Nice one. Sadly, I knew a kid named Charles Peters, but his nickname was "Chuck". I wonder how he felt every time the secretary said, "Chuck Peters come to the office please."

Unless the kid ends up like the guy in that song "A Boy Named Sue". Then, he could end up being the greatest boxer/wrestler/martial artist.

It annoys me when celebrities try to give their kids these bizarre names like "audio science" and "pilot inspektor" (I should bite my tongue with "Aria Sonnet", but to me it seems poetic rather than bizarre). It's even more annoying when they give their kids these foreign names like "Satchel" or "Kal-el" (yes, from Krypton) and the kids don't even match the look of the foreign name. Suri, TomKat's kid, might have a chance at matching the exotic sounding name, but it's just weird seeing someone with blond hair and blue eyes being named "Makitah" or "Aheem". I am all for unique names, but some people go a little too far and I've seen white kids being made fun of because their names sounded too Latin American of African American. Also, seeing a Latin American named Boris was sort of weird too, but he's a very strong guy.

for boy: Alexei, i've no idea why

for girl: Lia, i've just always preferred this spelling to Leah and for some reason fell in love with it after hearing a song by Lia from I'VE, though i'm also starting to become attached to name Eika

I'm probably just influenced by my secondary school years though; we had about 3 Emma's, 3 Lucy's, 5 Katie's/Kate's, 2 Olivia's, 4 Georgia's, 3 Anna's, 3 Sophie's (i went to a small girls' school, less than 100 girls per year)

My first child is getting named:

Persephone is an awesome name. So's Persimmon.

I think Amber is a beautiful female name, and using Amy as a nickname makes it perfect. For a boy, I think Felix is an awesome name. But this is just off the top of my head. Put into the unlikely scenario that I would actually have to name a child, I would agonize over it for several months.

I never put too much thought in to it, but a lady friend of mine has the name Justice (We all call her Lady J or Jay for short). I always kind of liked the name, but I always feared if they decided to become a cop or a soldier, it may sound a bit over the top.

My daughter, 7 months old and now asking for the toy she threw on the floor (lol) is called Heloise.
Congratulations to you, you'll see, it's only pure happiness (sometimes tiring, but that's the job, lol).

There's nothing wrong with Hugo. My brother's name is Hugo and everyone remembers it.

My name? Oscar. How about that - Oscar and Hugo, very unlikely names, but names that people REMEMBER (and hopefully associate good connotations with).

The strangest name I've hear is Ochine, for a boy. I've been informed it refers to a beautiful Japanese flower (how interesting).

As for names for future progeny, I've considered a few and I would like to continue the tradition with uncommon names. Living with an uncommon name all my life, I could never understand how the Johns, Matthews, Peters and Muhammeds of this world have managed to cope with the naming confusion amongst themselves. As a result, I know many John and Peters refer to themselves by their last name.

Lastly it's not your name who defines who you are. If your child isn't happy with his or her name, they can always change it (it's so common nowadays).

I can't remember all the names that I've considered, but some include:

(B) Lars, Gaspard or Jasper, Bruno, Zafir, Miles, Prospero, Sylvester, Sol

(G) Miranda, Matisse, Ursula, Electra, Bellatrix (Bella, Ella), Persephone (stephanie)
