Baby names

Shannon - posted on 12/12/2010

My daughter passed away almost 2 years ago---but still I have yet to meet someone with her name NOT as a nickname. It was Lexie. That was her full name. I also like Lorelai, Lily, Rory , Emmalee and Elena for a girl.

My son's name is Jackson....but I also like Damon, Luc, Peyton, Reed, and Benjamin.

I like Maddox for a girl, I think it more feminine sounding and more appropriate for a girl than a boy.

Iain for a boy, I have 3 girls Elizabeth, Kathleen, Colleen

Jennifer - posted on 12/07/2010

My daughters names are Hannah Jewels (goes by Jewels) and Elizabeth Mae (goes by Izzie). Our daughters are both named after family members that are no longer with us. The names we have picked out for our 3rd are either Benjamin Garland or sarah Lamara ( Mara for short). But I do like River, Gideon,and Gage for boys and Harmony, Felicity, and Janelle for girls.

I have a friend that is going to name her baby girl Maddex...it's the second girl I've heard of with that name.

Dana, did you mean to say you want to name your daughter, Nixon? Maddox? Or hunter?
Dana, I like you! But seriously!
Lol I can't imagine a girl being named those names!
I'm not the kind who wants a prissy girly names, but I find it sad how many girls are being stuck with obviously boys names.
Was it a typo?!? :/

My son's name is Triston Alexander ( his middle name is my nephew who passed away) and My daughter's names are Cierra ( to honor her grandpa's heritage who passed away before she was born) Renee" (my middle name as well) Sydnee Noel (because she was due Christmas Eve) and Kennidy Ann (after both her grandmas) We wanted names that wouldn't have 10 in the class but everyone would know and could pronounce. I love all my kids names and wouldn't give into something that I truly didn't like. This child will have this name forever and you'll be saying it an awful lot:)

I never want to use common names, so I look on social security web site listings of how many babies each year are names which names.

Ssa.gov/oact/babynames

I also really dislike names that are spelled differently just to be unique, like Jacob spelled jaihkob. Seriously there is a boy whose mom posted on a thread that's how they spelled Jacob.

i like old names but do like to find one that isn't suffereing from over kill, i would of loved issabella and ava but they were a bit common, as was william which we wanted for a boy, my girls have very pretty girly middle names but their first names are a litte more adult i feel, i don;t really like molly, holly and milly, type names for grown ups (until they are grandmas then it is ok again) we have ingrid grace and ursula rose, and my son is alexander nikolaus, (but he gets nik) and i like a full name not shortened, (eg, with my son i never would of just called him nik even though that is all we call him) i also made a point of no family names or naming after people...just don't much to my MIL distress...i also think a name should be able to take you anywhere in life and get your resume picked up from the pile not skipped over. I don;t know what i'd name another baby, we were swaying towards thomas, ben or timothy for a boy and i do love eve for a girl...

Stephanie - posted on 12/03/2010

Haleigh for a boy and Jayce for a boy

Bonnie - posted on 12/03/2010

I haven't read a lot of the others, so sorry if I am repeating.
Our boys names are Mitchell and Alexander
My sister inlaw's son is Braxton
I like Jayden for either a boy or girl
Mason for a boy
Tristan or Mikayla for a girl

For a modern/traditional name, I have a set of cousins that all have slightly unusual names, but they are still traditional. (They are all girls): Hunter, Piper and Bailey.

Kayla - posted on 12/03/2010

My favorite for a girl is Carly, but I would spell it Carlie, and for a boy is Kayden. That is what we named our other son. Our first son is named Bradley.

My friend named her son, Darias. Cute! And I LOVE Cordelia. Do you watch Young and the Restless?

Vanessa - posted on 12/03/2010

We did not know what we were having so we had a girls name and a boys name picked. My sons name is Darius Robert and the girls name we picked was Cordelia Rose. I think waaay outside the box with names and my husband is very traditional it took alot for us to compromise so I hope the next one we have is a girl so we do not have to come up with another boy name. LOL

Chatty - posted on 12/03/2010

Haha! Chad just announced that he NOW prefers, Logan. So funny!

I think we might have decided on a boy name but we still can't agree on a girl name. I have my heart set on something and he just doesn't like it, mainly because he knows someone with a similar name and it reminds him of that person. ACK!

Sarah - posted on 12/03/2010

Hey Dana, my son's name is Ethan. :) I didn't even realize it was so popular until after we named him that lol. Regardless, I still love the name & it fits him very well. His full name is Ethan Tyler. I tend to lean more towards common names. Other names I like:

Leela is my late grandmother's name. She was a twin, they were named Leela Bell and Leeta Nell-it was the twenties.

Chatty - posted on 12/02/2010

Leela is super cute and it's actually on my list!

Rebecca - posted on 12/02/2010

My daughter has quite a title. Her father's family is French Canadian Catholic so they always use three names. We wanted a nod to her French background so her first name has France all over it. I like alliteration in names and am an Anglophile so the second name reflects that. The third name was one that was on the list but when we saw her, it fit her perfectly. Altogether it's: Vivienne Verity Ivy.

I've done a lot of family genealogy research and found some very unique names:

Zella
Zaccheus
Leela
Minniola (Nola or Minnie for short)

I am also a fan of Imogen and Calliope.

Jo - posted on 12/02/2010

Aiyana, my middle name is Lee too lol

Lynn is going to be apart of our girls name because my aunt, my great aunt, my sister & my aunt that isn't my aunt all share the middle name Lynn too lol

Chatty - posted on 12/02/2010

I like Wilder for a girl, Kristian! Cute!

Kristian Amber - posted on 12/02/2010

My hubby and I had agreed that if we had a boy he would have been named Wilder Scott, after my great grandfather and my mother in laws maiden name. I was bound and determined to have Wilder in one of my childrens names! I didn't care if it was a boy or girl! LOL! But Lillian Lucille Wilder has stuck with us now and I have a feeling my hubbys nick name for her is going to be LiLu (LeeLoo) from the 5th Element! LOL!

Nikki - posted on 12/02/2010

What abou Vittore Stanley for a boy. It is the male version of your Nonna's name and gets Stanley in.

Christine - posted on 12/02/2010

I've got a Susanne Marie (originally Susan Marie but it didn't feel right), Victoria Lynn (originally Virginia Kelly but it didn't feel right), and an Elizabeth Jean.

our boy name was William Christopher.

Chatty - posted on 12/02/2010

We're already using grandparents name as middle names.

Vittoria after my mom's mom if we have a girl and Stanley after Chad's dad, if we have a boy.
