Baby Names

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

I KNOW I have 7 months to go, but Warren and I are already "debating" baby names.

This is my list so far:

BOYS:

Xander
Terrence
Liam
Duane
Douglas
Braeden
Aiden
Jayden
Declan
Keegan
Ewan (MY favourite)
(Middle name will hopefully be James, which is my Dad's name)


GIRLS:
Callista
Shannon
Chloe
Fionulla
Brianna
Veanne
Kendra
Phoebe
Jade
Maxine
(Random middle name as Amber already has my mum's name as her middle name - Elizabeth), and I don't really like either of MIL's names)


I want something unusual without being too weird. Have you got any suggestions?

I like Jayden, Brianna, and Chloe

Well, I was thinking for a girls name like Esperanza=hope and like Estrelita= star. For boy names Xavier.

[gemini9961]

I like Aiden for the boy name. That's the name I want BUT the fiancee says no because it's too feminine. What does he know, LOL. Brianna for the girl.

[catnapper]

I love the girl's name Celleste and today I met a Cort. I thought that was a cool name for a boy - very strong and masculine.

One of the things I struggled with, once I got over the fact I was having a little baby BOY , was the nickname phenomena. I was kind of odd about how a name COULD be shortened, and would my son be teased....for instance, I toyed with the name of Parker Peyton (last name)....but, thought, would kids tease him and call him PP (read, PEE PEE)?? So, I searched for a "J" name, like all my siblings and most neices/nephews in my family....and the middle name is mom's maiden name.

How about me telling you what you DIDN"T ask for

I really like all of those names. A *few* might be too left of center for me (as an american) and I would worry about someone teasing him for such an unusual name...but, that might not be the case in SA. I like having a 'different' name, but, I will tell you it gets old sometimes correcting most people with the pronuciation, spelling, etc. Just some thoughts!!

Of the ones you got, my faves are:
BOYS:
Ewan

GIRLS:
Chloe

I shall give you the names I would have picked... as I doubt if I'll ever have any human children myself:
Boy: Aleksandr (notice no "e" before the r)
Girl: Talia or Alya (I really used to LOVE the name Talia, until I found out my partners nephews daughter is called that... and if I ever had any children, I would like them to have a bit of an unusual name, but not a really weird name). Also, Malin is a wonderful name for a girl (I'd never name a daughter that myself, but that's because my niece is named that!)

I must say I had to giggle when I saw the list of names, and heres why. My name is Shannon and my 7 yr old is Brayden (I also have a almost 8 mnth old, boy named Cameron) and my black and white paint is Jade. I love Ewan and Kendra. Best of luck, I know it's not an easy task!!!!!

LOL - MY son (almost 17 years old) is ALSO Cameron - seems like we have similar taste in names!!

Congratulations Julie! I must have missed a thread.. I had no idea you were pregnant!

On your lists, I love the names Braeden and Brianna.

I've also always loved the name Mason for a boy.

[grybai]

I like Aiden and Ewan for boys, and Chloe especially for the girls.

Xander reminds me too much of Buffy... I'm big buffy fan.

[Lexi_Lover]

I love the name Liam for a boy. I've always loved that name!

I also like Brianna for a girl!

Paula isn't a too common name for a girl!

[popcornbird]

Out of your list, I like Aiden for a boy and Brianna for a girl. Thinking of names for a new baby must be so exciting!
