Baby names

You do know that all of those were originally male names that were taken over by females, right?

I'm fond of Aurelia for a girl, and Quentin for a boy's middle name (seriously, how cool is Q as a middle initial).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I like the Q also. One of my friends named her son Quinn and I was so jealous that I didn't think of it first.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

My favorite girl names would have to be either Aislinn (A's-lin) or Bellyn.
For boys, I like Christian and Daniel. Yes, they're pretty trite.

Who do you think F. Scott Fitzgerald married?

That website on page 1 demonstrates that of the top 1000 girl's names, Zelda wasn't in the top 1000 after the 1960s. Didn't even surge thanks to the game.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I've always loved the name Lolita, but I couldn't name my child that, for obvious reasons.

But I think Bianca is a nice name. Then she'll be this spoilt, rich, bitch that I'd have to disown by the time she's 12.

I have never met a girl named Cameron, and I don't see how it doesn't sound masculine. I do however have a (male) friend Cam who could potentially fit into the category of not masculine I am not creative enough to make up a name myself, so if I ever get married and have a kid, I'll leave it up to my wife.

FELIPE NO

My boyfriend and I were talking about kid names one day...dunno why, but anyway we agreed on Julia for a girl and he said Vincent for a boy.

I didn't like Vincent at first because I didn't want a kid named after a Final Fantasy character, but then it grew on me. Vincent does have those cool red eyes.

I have a friend named Cameron, but she goes by Cami. I do think it is a pretty name, but I think of it more as a boys name.

For his sake, give him a name that won't get him made fun of at school. Give him a real name - a traditional name. You know, like John or Richard or Peter.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There's Cameron Diaz.

This reminds me of some gossip from when I was in grade school that some young kid got a girl knocked up and they named their kids "Buzz Lightyear" and something equally as immature.

Anyways, I would be cruel in naming my kids and would want them to have fancy combinations of names that wouldn't fit with my last name at all. Of course you could mix up any of these names since they are so unique. I just dislike the fact that every other girl is named: "Sarah" or "Ashley", or every other boy is "John" or "Joseph" (no offense ) Short versions might become hard:


Mayabelle/Maiabelle Allegro LeMay (Maya/Maia)
Floretta Scherzina LeBeau (Flor)
Shirona Milver Tercettina (Ro?)
Alvilia Presta Descolis (Vili?)


Well I can't think of much boy names that are neat without being overly flamboyant.

How ya doing, buddy?

If your name is Cameron you'd better go by a nickname unless you're a girl. Cameron Neely is a good example.

No, just rattled them off. There are tons of traditional names that one can give a child. There are even books that are nothing more than lists of baby names and their origins and meanings. We had one in my house. Don't know where it has gotten to...

Wrote any fantasy novels lately?

Geez, those are a bit too out there in terms of names. You may get away with it if you are part of the aristocracy. Otherwise, those are just impractical.

Even Frank Zappa had names chosen for his children that are a bit more palatable.

Orbison though, is a cool concept. Naming children after rock/country singers should be interesting. Imagine a boy named "Cash Lovett _____"

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yes...all to delude myself into feeling top-class
If Orbison is a country singer then I'm not using that for sure....oh wait I just remembered that Orbison was a SMRPG monster...definitely not using that.

I would also make sure that the first name is easily pronounced. Surprisingly, people have so much trouble with "Kristian" even though it's Christian with a K instead -_-; You get all sorts of funky pronunciations.

FELIPE NO

My idea for a girl name is "Karin Sakura". "Karin" because it's a "normal" name here in Germany and "Sakura" because I'm a fan of Japanese culture and I like the translation: cherry blossom.

For a boy I have no idea yet...

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I don't know abotu middle names but I've got it planned out for Connor if a boy or Elisebeth if a girl. I suspect I'll have a fight my hands when the time comes though as my fiancee doesn't care for either of those names.

Seriously though naming your kid Angelus is just sending him on a a one way trip to swirlytown don't do it.

And we all know how kids are these days. If not made fun of by their name, it's something else. And kids just seem to become more like smartasses these days and would probably think that.


Hey Dick, just how big is that dick of yours anyways? Oh hey John, you forget to flush? You know, shit like that.


I'm more concerned with the fact that some of those names are so common and there's more than one person with that name. The last thing I want is my kid to have such a common name that he gets confused everytime someone calls the name out, whether it be in school or on the street or at a store or some shit. It's the same with me, everytime someone says "James" I figure it's for me but in truth, it's for someone else.


Unique is the word for the day.

Yeah but angelus has a distinct fanboy tinge to it that could not work in anyone's favour. Trust me I know this I was withen an inch of being named Conan after the boooks and that couldn't have turned out well either. I'm sure you can find something unique yet not quite so mockible.

Just saying don't be surprised if he try's to go by his middle name.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I’d probably go for a more traditional name (and certainly avoiding any Hollywood trends. i.e place names). Unique is fine, but a difficult to spell or overly complicated name is out. For boys, I’d probably stray away from unisex names.

Haha. I just realized that myself. Still, they're solid names that have withstood the test of time.

Me and my fiance are going to name our daughter Emilia Amara and haven't decided on a boy's name yet.

I just found out that Tom Cruise named his newly adopted baby girl "Suri".

That's japanese for "pickpocket". Apparently he picked it because it's persian for "rose" but just didn't do his f***ing research.

I believe it's also Hebrew for princess.

Yes well Tom Cruise is neither Persian nor Jewish. He did, however, recently star in a movie about samurai.

Guys named Peter are made fun of all the time.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
