Hi gang.
Would any of you have ideas on what names I can suggest to my sister to give to her next baby? If you do, please feel free to let me know. You can reply to this post, or if you wish, you can pm me. Thanks,
Jamie
i really like the name serinity for a girl, and for a boy, i like arturo.
Ooh nifty names, those. Well I always liked the name Robbin, for a girl, I think would be best. Heh. And for a boy maybe Joe or ... I dunno! I think I'd liek have to meet the baby to decide lol! Also I've always loved thename Rachel for a girl. And if you're looking for French names, I love Adèle! Hehehe.
Thanks. They're pretty good names for sure. I'll pass them to my sister and see what she says. Like I said, it's nice to give some help with name suggestions.
great, please let us know what she says, i wanna know. *smile*.
WHo cares if it's a boy or a girl. What matters is that it is given a name that kids in school won't use to make fun of the kid. Names like Rambo, Killer, Arnold Swartzenegger, Rocky, etc. You know what I mean... LOL
I'm rather partial to the name Robert (my dad's name), Liam, Mark, Henry, or John for boys. For girls Katherine, Anne, Isabelle, Skye, Rose, or Marguerite.
Well at least those names are better than serinity and nonsense like that! Robin's a bloke's name though caitlin, I certainly wouldn't dream of calling a girl robin. arturo makes the boy sound like some sort of heavyweight boxing sensation.
I like the name Erika, Alicia, Emily, Heather, Rianna for girls and for boys, Randy, Ryan, Tyler, Tyrell, Malikai, Joshua.
Oh yeah, and Camron, Luke, Sasha, Natalie, Grace!
I think the naming of your child is a very personal thing. It's something to be discussed between the couple expecting the child. When I was expecting my son, we'd decided that if he was a girl we were going to call him hanna, my surname is Randall, and it was a standing joke in my office that we should call the baby Hanna Anna Randall .. grin.
Alasdair...Katherine..Grace...Ruari...Simon...Ardeth..
Matilda....Callum...Michael...Ross..Rory..Morven...Storme...
Skye...Kyle..Gillean {Gillyan its gaelic for young man}...Struan...Peter...Roisin {Rosheen Irish}...
..good luck to your sister and let us know how it goes...
Lawlord, Robin can be a girl's name too. I had a penpal once that spelled it Robyn and she was a girl. And what's wrong with Serenitty? That's pretty.
Well let's bear in mind this child has to have a name that won't get it picked on at school, and that it won't turn round to its parents in later life and say "why the hell did you call me that!" and if someone called me surenity that's exactly what i'd do!
Hear hear as they say in the House of Lords. And the House of commons come to think of it.
they can always change the name by deed poll
how about Seren its Welsh but I don't know the meaning..
For boys I like Alexander, Andrew, Anthony, Benjamin, Brandon, Caden, Caleb, Christian, Christopher, Cody, Colby, Connor, Corey, Daniel, Dathan, David, Derek, Efren, Emery, Eric, Ethan, Evan, Huxley, Jacob, James, Jason, Jeremy, Joel, John, Johnathon, Jonah, Joshua, Justin, Kaylan, Kendell, Kevin, Kurt, Kyle, Matthew, Micah, Nathan, Nehemiah, Neil, Noah, Obadiah, Paul, Peter, Robert, Rodney, Ruben, Ryan, Shaun, Stephen, Taylor, Timothy, Trevor, and Wesley. For girls I like Ainsley, Alexis, Alison, Amanda, Amy, Angela, Anna, Beth, Bianca, Bridgett, Caitlin, Chasity, Chelsea, Cheryl, Christen, Christi, Colby, Corey, Cortney, Danielle, Eden, Fallon, Gretchen, Heidi, Janelle, Janese, Jean, Kate, Kaylee, Kelly, Kelsey, Kylee, Lauren, Leah, Lesley, Maureen, Megan, Melesa, Melosa, Monica, Neala, Nora, Norma, Renee, Shannon, Shawnee, Stephanie, Tawnee, and Tiffany.
Obadiah! You have got to be joking..
well this is why I say that names are very personal, that what one person likes is not necessarily what another one likes. my best friend for example, has a daughter called Roxanne, and when she had her and told me her name I was horrified! because that name reminds me of that song by sting! and it sounds like a prostitute's name! I don't know why, it just makes me think like that, and lots of other people who've heard the name for that matter, but my friend likes it and she's the one that has to live with the fact her daughter potentially could be teased when she's older. I'll have to dig out my baby names book and post some of the truely awful names that appear in it. grin
Okay, how's this for a compromise proposal? Until they are eighteen and able to choose a name by deed poll, children remain nameless? Think about it: nobody would have a name so you couldn't be bullied, or for that matter, bully anyone else about their names, and you'd also be able to choose a name that you really liked. Parents would also have a far easier time. but Lawlord, how would children be addressed? Quite simple, my dears: they would be known simply by their national health number in the UK, or numero nationale d'identite in france and continental Europe, and I'm sure the US have some sort of system whereby everyone is assigned with a number what with the hysteria over terrorism and all that. This really would work guys, so let's get it implemented and make everyone happy! names? who needs 'em!
there's a culture somewhere, now the details are somewhat sketchy so I don't know the exact details, but in this particular culture, there are only 4 names, they are given to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th born children, so, according to that person's name you know when he was born, if the family has 5 kids the 5th kid gets the first name again, grin

That was that I guess. Have we now covered all possible choices humm?
Thanks for the information, Star, but we won't be needing any of that rubbish anymore. It's numbers all the way now, mi' old geezers!
Oh gee! Lawlord you are your sweet self again. Who is "we" ("we won't be needing any of that rubbish anymore") are you also expecting besides Justin's sister? How sweet!
When I say "We", Star, I was referring to the remarks I made a couple of posts above which prefaced that latter post. YOu will notice that in the remarks aforesaid, I mooted the possibility of doing away with the concept of names altogether whilst people remained minors. Now I'm not going through all that again as I assume you are capable of finding the above remarks aforesaid on your own. Names? Who needs 'em! i say ban 'em!
LOL! LL No I'm very fond of my name Alexander as its an old family name, but I'd be very happy to lose my middle 1 John ..its just not me dear boy...
Murgatroyd is a truly awful monkier as are Claude and Harriet,Oliver also does little for me and Henry is just cruel...
Well Goblin, I thought you'd really be up for this proposal, given your penchant for radical solutions! And of course under the Lawlordian solution you could still be called Alexander, because you could choose to be when you were eighteen. Prior to that age, though, you'd be known simply as 4748987912 or whatever your NHS number is.
I find it hard to believe that Madison is the #1 most popular girl's name...
James
Ooh I have several names. For a girl I like Alex, as in Alexandra, Keshia, Saralee, Monica, Marjorie, Caroline, Altanasia, Anastasia, Asia, Aaliyyah, and for a boy I like Aaron, Terry, Isaiah, Jeromy, and Jeromiah.
Oh I forgot one more name for the baby girl and that name is Avery. Oh and I like Jocelyn too.
Oh and for the boy I also like Zachary. Any more names I come up with I'll shoot them all here. Like I said my mind's fully of names. I might come up with 100 names by the time the baby comes. BTW how far along pregnant is your sister?
Another name for the girl I came up with is Marguerite.
And Dominique.
I like Madison. But Avery for a girl? I don't know about that.
Numbers...? That is a terrible idea LL, I mean how would anyone remember those long combinations of numbers and imagine looking down at your sweet little baby calling it a number?! Frey. PS my faves are Griselda for the girl and Alfred for the boy yeah?
18? ok eh but I have enough trouble remembering my phone number,so don't count on me rembering that 1 off hand and another thing, wont the number identification eventually become confusing ...think of the bueraucracy man!.. smile..
I thought you lot in glasgow had enough trouble remembering your own names anyway after a pint or twenty.
lol! Yes very droll and you Essex boys aren't short a the cut either eh..
Essex boys? I've lived in London, Worcester, and Oxford, but never Essex!
your from Essex are you not I'm just fresh from a shower to remove cake and so on...is Oxford as beautiful as i have been lead to believe.
At least I know that someone did read the 100 lists! Thanks James. And yes, Madison is a very nice name... LOL
I'm not from Essex, some of my family live there but we none of us hail therefrom. Oxford is lovely, it really is. Wonderful historic town.
I like the name Madison it's pretty ehhehe. I also like Beth and Melissa for girls and Michael and James for boys.
