My touughts:

Natallia
Katerina
Pasha
Amber
Topanga
Phaedra
Amina
Jasmine
Jessica
Abigail

Does it show that I only have daughters?

 

[Huckleman2000]

I think that it should have a good rhythm with whatever your last name is.

also, it should sort of work with it, too. Star Jones works. Star Kowalski doesn't, even thought the DA daDAda rhythm is pretty good.

Topanga like Boy Meets World?
She grew up hot...

Topanga like Boy Meets World?
She grew up hot...

She was the only reason I watched that show.

She was the only reason I watched that show.

She became the only reason I watched that show...and Tivo it when I had Tivo...and cable.

Nicknames? Initials?

We should also keep in mind:

Nicknames?
If the kid is Topanga...will she have a nickname? If so, what might it be? I wouldn't wanna be called "Topy" myself Or "Panga" for that matter. Handsome Alexander is going to be shortened to good looking nicknames like "Alex," "Al," "Sandy" or "Xander." But pretty "Isabelle's" going to end up as "Issy."

Not that it always happens that a Robert gets knocked down to a Bob, but a parent should take into consideration that it *might* happen.

Initials?
A friend of mine was going to name their kid "Ashley Selene"...until they realized that combined with the last name the initials would be "A.S.S."

 

[Nirvanadragones]

Initials?

Oh, we have proof of that one already in one of the Mommy's names

As far as surnames go... that will be an interesting dimension in itself.

Names to add: (before Sam comes along)


Leala (French meaning 'loyal one')
Pascale (French meaning 'Easter')

Easter?
We'll talk.

When I first started school, I had a classmate whose initials spelled out the Swedish word for "horny"... Poor girl.

How bout some Wiccan names Vana? Maybe it will turn out to be a lirrel witchlet or sumfink

I totally agree with 3113. As is my innate tendency.

When we named my son James, we specifically didn't want him to be a Jim. Or Jimbo, or Jimmy. Or J.J., for that matter, even though his middle name is John. While he was growing up, he was Jamie, and now that he's an adult, he's a James. If you don't have a nickname in mind from the start, be very careful! My son's a Jamie, not a Jimmy or Jimbo, and his "adult" name James..... rocks.

My nephew's name is "John", like his father's, but he's "Jack", which really works with the rest of his name. It's like the difference between "John Fitzgerald Kennedy" and "Jack Kennedy". The formal one is great, but the informal one really rocks too.

That said, I'm a big believer in traditional names, but that's probably because my last name is pretty traditional too, so they work well. I'd hesitate to put an unusual name on my kid - it could be pretty cool, but I'd hate to put the kid in a position where it's a burden or something they think they have to live up to.

Doesn't matter what you call a child, other children will either shorten it, bastardise it, lengthen it, or simply call him/her something to do with their perceived personality or abilities or physical attributes.

You ain't gonna stop it, no matter what. Then, or later in life. Hopefully she/he will never have to endure being called 'hobbit'.

This is a website I found particularly useful when researching the names of all my high school classmates, for our 36 year reunion.

*tea spew*.........well I bet that's fun for the owners when they go out to call the cat.

Our's was called Cleo (half Siamese), and quite beautiful. But it was kind of wierd standing on the doorstep calling her name at night to come in.

Ooops..........sorry.

You really don't want any suggestions from me, ladies. I named my last cat Jamaica.

True, but I still think you can sort of limit the possibilities.

For instance, "Hina" is a nice sounding name, but I wouldn't broadcast that it means "Goddess of Fish." That's just asking for trouble, outside of certain seafood-based communities. (apologies to Svenskaflicka)

The poor girl is bound to get a certain nickname, though...

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Some original names are poetic and nice, especially if your offspring wants to have a career in the spotlights. I'm thinking River Phoenix. Eagle-Eye Cherry. Keanu Reeves. (Did you know that Keanu means "Cool Mountain Breeze"?)

And even though it might be weird to name your child Dakota or Apple, it's still acceptable.

But whatever you do, please, please, PLEASE, for the love of everything sacred in this world, DO NOT name your kid the same way Swedish pop star Lena Philipsson did - her son's name is Månfare, which means "Moon Traveller" - or like Swedish politician Carl Bildt named his poor daughter - Blanceflor!

BLANCEFLOR!!! It sounds like a flour brand, for God's sake!!!
