A lot of the people I know are having babies lately. Here's a list of their names. What do you think? Are there any that stick out as names that you love/hate?

Females:
Mackenzie Cheyenne
Sydnee Grace
Karsyn Grace
Caridee Scarlett
Isabella Marie
Whitleigh Olivia
Zoey Kay-Marie
Gabriella Brooke
Kaylee Nicole
Rylee Faith

Males:
Aden Carter
Braxton Lake
Gabrial Lane

As you can see, most people I know have girls!

Family related questions. First, what are the names of the sibset you're in (assuming you have siblings?) Do you think your parents did a good job of making your names sound good together? Second, are there any names that you love that you can't use due to usage by other family members? And third.. any sibsets in your family (whether it be your own children, your sibling's, a cousin, whatever) that you really like?

(my answers)
1) Jessica Lynne, Eric Donald, Brian Nicholas
Donald and Nicholas are my grandfather's names... I think the combo sounds good, but maybe that's just because I grew up to being "Jessica, Eric, and Brian" all of my life.

2) Personally, there's very little that would stop me from using a name I like (I figure there's a high chance they'll have friends or classmates with the same name as them anyway) BUT I've always loved "Riley" for a girl but feel I cannot use it since it would be a cousin to a boy, Riley James. The same name but different genders is just a little too much for me.

3) The names have all gotten a lot more popular recently, but I still love them regardless. Let me also note that my grandmother is 100% Irish and these are the children of three of her nieces (so, my mother's cousins.. also strictly Irish). Unfortunately I don't know middle names. Conor (13), Riley (f 12), and Aidan (8). Colleen (8) and Ciara (7). Liam (7).

name i saw yesterday, on a little girl, that i had never seen or heard before...

rosabella

i dont love it, but i dont hate it either. what do you guys think?

You know that state between sleeping and waking (or waking and sleeping) where your thoughts get all blurry and you aren't sure if you're dreaming or not? That magical place where your mind produces seemingly rational thoughts that are, in reality, truly bizarre. Well, I was in that place this morning. I thought I was watching credits for something (British, crime, period piece?) and I saw the name Serrial Roberts, with Roberts being the surname. All I could think of was like serial killer?! Really?. Then, I woke up more.
Actually, Serial/Cereal aside, it does have rather nice flow, don't you think? ^_^

My friend Gracie Marie and her boyfriend Aaron Lee have just found out they're having triplets! They're very excited and trying to find names for them. The last name will either be Cooper or Jennings.

The sibset will be:

James Lewis Cooper (Gracies child from a previous relationship)
Harvey ______ 
_____Harrison
_____ Zachary

or

James Lewis Cooper
Amelia_____
_____Leah
and no ideas for the third girl

None of the girls names are set in stone, but the boys names are. So  feel free to offer suggestions. Fill in the blanks please?

A list of character names from a novel I am working on:

Elodie Cripse (f)
Noah Cole (m)
Leland Rana (m)
Jay Lace (f)
Elanor Cole (f)
Drew Long (f)
Captain James Sharp (m)
Andrew Tam (m)
Marco (m)

I am looking for two more names. Thoughts? Comments? Concerns?

I finally made myself a namelist.

www.babynames.com/namelist/9722543


I'm Norwegian, so I'm aware the flow of some of the names may seem strange in English.
Please vote? :) Thanks!

Saw the name Krysia (rhymes with Tricia) the other day?

WDYT?

Personally, I can't say I'm a fan.

i met a 3 legged golden lab/retriever today named Emitt. now i don't really like the name Emmett, it's not my style, but i think looks wise i prefer the Emitt spelling..

What are some old-fashioned boy names that would go well with Edith? I have found alot of good lists of old-fashioned girl names I like (Edith, Dorothy, Ada, Cora, etc.) but I can't find anything good for a boy,...

Think Ralph, Archie, Gerard, Wilbur. My list pretty much ends there because I can't think of anything else and the lists I'm finding don't seem to be helping!

Thanks!

Ok, I've been spending too much time hanging around this comm... I had a dream last night that I met male twins named Winnie (as in, the Pooh) and Dole (like Bob Dole) and I was so horrified I was going to post it here. On the dream internetz.

Also, IRL: my brother met a set of sisters recently named Denver, Topeka and Phoenix.
WDYT?
At least they didn't name the kids Topeka, Phoenix and Sarah. Doesn't make sense when one kid gets left out of the zany naming scheme.

I just started a job at a daycare this week, and while i'm still learning their names, but here a few that I can remember :)

- Mahlayna
-Miranda (sister to ^^)
-Ben
-Scott
-Jason
-Adriano
-Esousa (f)
-Rowan (f)
-Autumn
-Ciara
-Danika
-Avery (m)
-Jaylena
-Aurora
-Lexie (not a nickname for Alexis or Alexa)
-Kaydence
-Caleb
-Jordyn
-Tianika
-Aasha


so WDYT?

EDITED: cuz the comments didnt seem to get my questions :P ... I wanted names OTHER THAN the ones i mentioned that sound nice as a sibset with my girls names, not combos of the names i already have. :)

So my SO likes my 3 girls names, especially the first two:
Tessa (middle name would be Carmella for all these, after my mom and grandma)
Avery
Audrey

But he doesnt like my favorite boy name which is James. We totally had a big debate about it because he would want to call him Jimmy or Jim and I dont really like either of those!. He does like Leo though which is another fave of mine. He and his dad and grandpa have this like rotating name drop "schedule" haha where his grandpa is Victor Robert, his dad is Robert Steve, and his name is Steve Victor. so if this continued our boy would be named Victor Robert  which I don't like at all so we dont really agree on that :P I wouldnt mind Robert as a middle name, or if he wanted, Steve as a Middle name though.

SOO, Anyone have any suggestions for boy names that go well as a sibset with my girls names? :) and/or go well with middle names of Robert or Steve

thanks!

PS Steve is just Steve, not Steven or Stephen.. his birth certificate says Steve in case the issue comes up about it being a nickname or shortened version or whatever. So if we had a boy and named him Leo that would be it. no leonardo or leonard or whatever. And my name is Tara :)

While i was reading a turkish newspaper is saw this name:

Mavi (blue) Rüzgar (wind) .

Parents are Baris (peace) Falay and Esra Ronabar who are known as actors in varous turkish tv shows.
Edited : I forgot to mention that it is a boy.

Word names are very popular in Turkey.

I like this as a name for a little girl. It has a speical meaning to me since it is the name of the county I grew up in, and reminds me of home. :) Probaly won't get used since my DB is so darn picky... So I would say Trinity is a guilty pleasure that has a speical meaning to me. What are some names that are meaningful to you but you would never really use?

Ava Joy
Twins: Thomas Martin & Andrew Herman (James)
Noah Patrick (Joshua)
Alexandra Jessica Ann (Roman)
Erik William
Nathaniel Rafael (Gabriel)
Shayne Georgia Linn (Jarren, Emmett, Caeden)

I like just about all of these names, except the last ones (especially Shayne, especially spelled that way, and on a girl no less). The sibset of Thomas, Andrew and James is especially great.

And just a couple more:

Lorelai Lilly (this one fails on so many levels for me)
Chloe Isabella Patricia

In alphabetical order, the Top 10 “bad boy” names, according to Kalist, are
Alec
Ernest
Garland
Ivan
Kareem
Luke
Malcolm
Preston
Tyrell
Walter

Thought it was interesting. It just randomly popped up on msn.com and I thought of you guys.
