Category: Let's talk
Hey all, so, what's your favorite name? I have far to many wo pick just one, but current it has to be Shamanda:)
i have too many also, i like the tropical names, or i like it when people are named after US states
I like odd names and names that are uncommon. EX: Kyriaki, is Greek, and I like it a lot. Also, names with Y's and such (again, Kyriaki), but also Kyra. And for some reason, I like the names Kiera and Silver.
Also, I tend to get attached to names because of characters with those names. (EX: Tobias. I used to really like his character in the 'Animorphs' series. Don't ask why. Also, Kethia: a writer on www.fictionpress.com wrote a character by that name and she had to be my favorite.) :)
Jeremy, David, Lee, Allen, Andy
Melody, Rai.
I second Alison's post. I like all the names she mentioned, except Tobias. That name's always annoyed me. But dude, Animorphs! Yes! And...I especially like Kyra.
As for others: Kristen (spelled with an E N, not I N), Heather, Serena, Kadria (yes, it's weird, I know...it's Meka's creation)...and for boys: David, Owen, Michael, and Garret, in spite of the one I know. :P
I knew a Garat once. He was cool..I still don't like the name though. Kristen is good--I like it. Kadria...Kadria I'm not sure about. It kinda depends on how it's pronounced. David is too common, for my taists...Owen is good, I don't really care for the English 'Michael' but the Spanish 'Miguel' is more to my liking.
I like the names Trista, and for some odd reason, Kiru.
If I ever have a little boy, I'll give him the name Apolonio; but if it's a little girl, I'll name her either Sonia or Sofia.
Vincent, Ardeth for a female, and I have to say Alasdair.
A few more I like for boys would have to be: Malcolm, Oden, River, Anwar, Aiden, Haden
I like names that are unusual/uncommon and/or that have an interesting spelling/sound. Some of these names, especially those where I can't find official origins/meanings/variations 4 r from people I know with such names.
4 girls': Anastasia, Ayesha, Genie, Ismine, Jodici, Kerri, Layla, Leah, Madeleine, Mariah, Rebekah (4 Rebecca), Regan, Roxanne, Tyra, Xaviera.
4 boys': Chase, Dakarai, Dhawnae (pronounced dawnay), Enrique, Eugene, Eustace, Ezra, Hayden, Isaiah, Mikkeli, Morenike (not sure of pronunciation), Nehemiah, Reagan, Sean (s-e-a-n spelling), Ulysses (both this and the Spanish version), Zachary.
Note on the Dhawnae name: Not sure if it ends with "a e" or "e e", as I was told one and read the other, but I like the "a e" ending myself. That last comment really isn't anything important, it's just for whoever knows that person and happens to read this. OK. So anyways, there you go. *smile*
Tyra. I like that..and Enrique, too...I have a friend named Rebekah...
I like Katara (a mud name), Ara (a mud name) Atana (a mud name).
I have a friend named Rebecca, but I prefer the K A H spelling. Pretty name.
yeah. I like the K A H spelling better than the C C A or C A spellings. It's less common and ..yeah.
I also like the names Autom and Anala
Wallace, Bridget, Yosheka, Jameeka, Javonte prenounced Javontay.
I absolutely love almost any unusual names, but here are just a few. Parys, Taliesin, Tyrese, Ashah, Elodie, Aled, Enya, Albus, Ezmae Neve, Evie, Niamh, Hedwig, Bella Etc Etc and the list goes on. lollol.
I like Raechel, Clare speled the Irish way, Calum, Mark, Juan Spanish for John, Andres spanish for Andrew, David is to comon for my liking to.
Yosheka? I love that...and I've always wondered how to pronounce Niamh...(the prononciation I read didn't exactly, ah, make sense..) Tarvren and Yekka, for girls, (don't ask. Long story). Kiana and Tihana (I don't know what Kiana means but I think Tihana means ..um, something to do with water)...
And I like to combine names to make other names (E.G: Asheryn, combining the names Aderyn and Ash to make the name meaning something like "Fire bird"), and Lindyn...For boys I like Pipin (Someone's been reading LOTR...sorry), Leo, (Has to do with something written on www.fictionpress.com/~muteddragon in the story called Runaway)...I'm sure to come up with more later. LOL.
Kiana is a pretty name. And for something slightly more common, I think Lili Marie is the cutest name just about ever.
Lili Marie? Like that one, too.
It's amazing how if you like a person or character with a specific name, you get attached to the name. But if you don't like a person with a specific name, then you don't like the name. For example, I don't like the name Amanda. Not because of the name itself, but almost all the Amanda's I've known in my lifetime have been bitches.
I love the name Crystal for a girl, or Alexandra. Yeah, that one's long, but oh well. For boys, I still tend to like the more...regular names, I guess. Michael, Mark, John, that kind of thing. Garrett is a good name. I also like the name Connor, but it's got to be spelled with an O, not Conner, with an E.
that's true. ..Like Crystal-because I once read a story called Crystal and I got attached to the name because of the character. But then I've found that's not always true-I was reading Protector of the Small, and there was a character named Joren who I really didn't like, but I still think the name is kinda cool.
I like the name Tyesha...(and who, I wonder, would ever name their kid 'Deja'? wow..)
Venus, aaliyyah, Sierra, Tiara, Terry, Miah, Maya, too many to go on.
Aaliyah, Sierra, Tiara, and maya I like. The name Chaya, sort of...For boys...well, I like Artemis, I also like artemis for a girl...and Julian.
yeah I have to say I love the traditional names as well.
For boys I like :
Christopher
Cameron
Matthew
Ryan
Bryan spelled both ways
For girls I like :
Alicia
Brittney
Alexis
Alexis and Bryan I like...I like alicia, too. (and to my first post, the one concerning Kyriaki: I said that the name is greek, which I don't think is exactly true-it's origin is Greek. Just to clarify..) I like the name Cristen, or Krysten...
for my postly supply of uncommon names: Suresha and Nimesha (Shur-ay-shuh and Nuh-mee-shuh). I think they're indian names. the two people I know named Suresha and Nimesha are from Sri lanka (SP?)
Phoenix, I wouldn't name a boy Artemis. Anyone who has any knowledge of mythology would pick up on the fact that Artemis is the name of agoddess. I'm not meaning you, I'm sure you already know that. I just wouldn't want the poor kid to get made fun of.
And, HeavyMetalGirl, it's ironic you and Phoenix talk about the name Alicia. that is my name, spelled exactly that way.
the most interesting name I have ever heard was someone who named her son after a character on Star Wars. This child was named Aniken Lucas. Oh, wow....
yeah, I do know that Artemis is the name of a goddess....Aniken? Yikes...
I quite like people with double baroled names like Sarah Jane, Ann Marie, Lesley Anne, Mary Ann, Mary Kate and Mary Ellen
My favorite names include: celest, cheerie, landon, kristin, monica, rachel, ashlin, brice, ezra, aidin, juliet, dorian, and tanya.
my favorites for girls would be: Melody, Heaven, Tamika, Samira or Samara, Keisha, Nichole, Marissa, Rebecca or Rebekah, I like both spellings, Kristel, Vanessa, Jada, there's tons more...
For boys: Jason, Hayden, Ashton, Alex, Jaden, and Aidan
