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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

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

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


How ya doing, buddy?

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 was speaking idiomatically.

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"

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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

Caroline Diane (or Diana; same initals as mine )

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

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

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?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

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

I was speaking idiomatically.

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.

How ya doing, buddy?

Wyatt and Zebediah are better than Hugo?

Case closed =p

FELIPE NO

Valeska for a girl and Pepsi for a boy.

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

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

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

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I always say to myself that my first son will be called Milan as my all time favorite writer. I never had planned a name for a girl but I recently discovered that Bristol (the place where Trip Hop originated) is an actual first name, so yeah, Bristol all the way.

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

I like Aurora for a girl and Ethan for a boy.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I've always been quite partial to Irish and Italian names in general, and names that start with A for girls. a few names for girls that I really like are Aria, Aislinn [pronounced ash-lin], and Ava. for boys, I like Aidan, Conall, and Keenan.

obviously I'm not going to have that many kids, but always good to have a few backup names incase he wants to name them something like... hugo. lolsorrypom

I was speaking idiomatically.

I really want to see a boy named Ptolemy in this day and age.


Well, you could go crazy, fanboy and name your kid Sephiroth (anyone remember that?), though I would HIGHLY go against it.


Just don't go cliche and name your kid Michael or something (there are TOO many of those in the world). Perhaps Shane or something of that nature.

Zelda almost seems like a good name. Too bad I'm a dork.

Zelda was a known name well before the video game ever existed. Unfortunately, most people nowadays associate the name with the princess and not some exotic-sounding name some women in the early 20th century were named with.

I've always thought that Greek and Roman names were very beautiful. I can't think of a name for a son, but if I had a daughter, I'd name her Luna. No, not after the Harry Potter Character, but after the goddess, Luna. (Selene). In my opinion, there's hardly anything more beautiful than the full moon at night, and of course, any daughter of mine would be equally as beautiful, if not moreso. ^_^
