Baby names
 

I'm just curious as to what people have for names for their own children. I'm a soon to be father and I'm just curious what names you thought of when (if at all) you had children or if you're about to have one.



I just found out that I'm having a son. I was thinking of naming him Angelus Tyler Lovelace, which I thought would be unique and it flows well.

I've always wanted to name my son Sergio, and my daughter either Angela or Allegra.

Hmm.
(First, Middle Name Listing Style)
For a daughter: Dixie Lynn or Monta Ruth.
For a son: Frederick Jedediah or Cecil Joachim.

That way he can get marketing deals with a major motion picture!

I think it's a good idea to steer clear of any names that will put your kid in danger of having another one (or two or three) in his/her class at school. One year my daughter had FOUR Adams in her class. Come on, people...show a little originality for heavens's sake.

I'd stay away from naming my child Alyssa, Devon, Madison, Tyler, Taylor, Bryce, Bryson, Grayson, Jackson, Brianne, Molly, Hayley, Kayleigh, Caitlin or any of those other "top 20 names."

I always wanted to name a boy Hugo and a girl Micah. Although most girls i talk to are like "GROSS HUGO I WOULD NEVER ALLOW THAT" :sigh:

I just hope he wouldn't get chubs so they call him "huge-oh"

I have a girl's name in mind, but it depends on the name of the mother. :D

Caroline Diane (or Diana; same initals as mine :D)

Hugo is a pretty horrible name, actually. Good luck finding a girl who will allow that.

It's hard to search for an original, but normal name I think, not that I'd have experience before. Usually I come up with outrageous things like Ignaz or Lucifer.

The Baby Name Wizard is a tool that compiles the ranks of baby names up to 2004, so you can see trends of name popularity. Apparently, the latest thing is in 18th and 19th century names.

So maybe to be unique but not a trend whore you can name your daughter Ethel or your son Lewis, names that are respectable but has been long past their prime.

How is it a horrible name?

It just is, the same way names like Myron and Agnes are horrible. There's really no logical reason for it...they just are.

If you're comparing the coolness of Hugo to that of Agnes then you suck at naming things :mad:

Old-fashioned names are fun! Gives them a character that doesn't say "I'm cool because I'm current".

I adore old-fashioned names. My youngest child's name is Wyatt, which is very old-fashioned. If he had been a girl we were going to name him Violet.

Esther and Zebediah are also great names.

Wyatt and Zebediah are better than Hugo?

Case closed =p

Valeska for a girl and Pepsi for a boy.

Irrelevant, really, but I think it'd be cool to name a kid Pepsi.

Then, if I have a girl, she'll be named Nokia.

I don't have any children named Esther or Zebediah...I just like the names.
