What are your favourite names?

xXRed13Xx's picture
General Discussion xXRed13Xx - Friday, March 2, 2007 - 04:23

I lie awake sometimes thinking, or dream about names that I would give to my kids, or just names that I think are cool and prehaps wish I was called :)

What names are your favourites? For babies, characters, yourself or anything else you can think of?

Daughter names: Malin, Marin, Taryn, Ariel/Arielle, Anika, Caitlin, Erin.

Son names: Thor, Kai, Rai(like Ray but I prefer the spelling) Dane, Aiden, Brogan.

Names I like: Piotr (russian, pronounced pee-et-or), Lindsey (for a guy), Vaan.

Hmm probably a bit sad that I think about names this much :) There are loads more I like but I need sleep.

Not really. Names are important, and you don't want to embarass your kid when they grow up. I think...

I'm not that good with names, to be honest. Naming my brothers was pure luck and stuff...

StephanieNicole; Friday, March 2, 2007 - 14:12

Hmmm...

For a girl I like Saria or Jordan or Haley or maybe Zelda. I like Both those names XD

For a boy...I like Link, Cory, Thiago (Baby bro's name), and Jake. I like link the best though XD.

I would name my kid Link, but I don't want them to hate me when they are in middle school and people make fun of them for having the name of a Nintendo character because their mom is obbsessed with it..

Funny--yesterday my mother

Joamette Gil; Friday, March 2, 2007 - 19:13

Funny--yesterday my mother was just telling me the story of how I got my name and how it was almost stolen from me. x)

I think about names a lot because I think up characters and stories in my head a lot. I think, in a way, the name you are given has some affect (if even a small one) on the way you grow up or turn out.

*ahem* So yes, names are interesting. Here are some of my favorite names:

For a Girl:
Joamette (So I like my name--sue me.)
Lucifer
Maverick
Montserrat
Shaazia
Shaharazart
Skye
Suleika
Yeshimabeit
Xiomara
Zeta

For a Boy:
Alaric
Arthur
Basil
Edward
Enoch
Gabriel
Israel
Jak
Jon
Lucas
Nigel
Seth
Socrates
Theodoric
Windsor

Alas, my poor children. x)

Hairballed Kat; Friday, March 2, 2007 - 20:37

Ooh, Joey, I like Israel, too. It's a nice name.

Um... when I was little I really wanted my name to be Elizabeth... I don't know why, I just thought it was the prettiest name ever. Just yesterday I was thinking Palea (think paleantology) was a good name for a girl...

Names I like for girls are Cynthia, Carla, Zelda, Maeve, Lily, Leah, Annette, Naomi, and Ilana...

Boys, I like Zeigfeld, Jacob, Marcellus... um... Taylor...

Really? I didn't know that. :) I used to watch novelas all the time back in the day.

My name was from a soap opera my grandmother used to watch when my dad was a little kid. She told him she wanted a granddaughter named "Joamette." My dad met my mom and told her he wanted a daughter named "Joamette." My mom ran around since she was 15 telling everyone she was going to name her first daughter "Joamette." They're relationship ended really badly before I was even born, but she still named me "Joamette."

I really want to find out what soap opera that was. But the only results Google gives me all lead me back to myself. o_o

Funny name story...

killijoy; Saturday, March 3, 2007 - 01:41

My mom named me Elizabeth Rose, and my best friend named her little sister Elizabeth Rose. I was over their house and I kept responding, even when the mother snapped, "Elizabeth Rose! Get over here, now!" And that's how the story got out. We even told the story to my mom. (Poor Mom.)

Hmm... for my names? (Uh-oh, here we go.)
Girl Names
Charlotte
Alice
Dani
Devon
Lilith

Boy Names
Satan
Samael
Abaddon
Olivier
Ville/Valo
Zagan

>_> I was named after some opera, I think. Plus my mom keeps saying it's because my name means "song"? I still have no idea why she'd name Carmen because it means song. Weirdness.

If I ever have a daughter, I'd probably name her Sam... :3

A year ago, people went crazy naming kids with backward words, like "Neveah" (heaven). I think I made a topic on this. Are they still doing this? XD Imagine a guy named Lleh, or worse, Hell...

Unisex names:
Norris
Almost
Ibtisam (means smile)
Alexander

Girl:
Syahada
Sufiya Zenobia
Munawarah

Boy:
Willem
Hafiez

I would also like to call my daughters after words meaning love like Cinta, Sarang, Ai, etc.. Israel is not a good name, I think.

Hairballed Kat; Thursday, March 8, 2007 - 20:23

Ziggy is a great boy name... I've always wanted to have a son named Zeigfeld and call him Ziggy for short.

For some reason there are dozens of Megans and Emilys at my school. Emily is supposedly one of the most popular names ever... I've always liked my name (Katherine) because it has a lot of nicknames to choose from. I change them when I go from place to place. Here it's Kat, in college it might be Kitty or Kathy... It's a little too popular, though. I changed to Kat when I moved here because there were like a dozen Katies at my old school, but then it turned out that there were already two here... I went by my middle name, Rose, for a while when I transferred to a different school, but everyone got so obsessed with getting me rose-related stuff. I don't like roses much.
