Favorite baby names

ZoeBartlett Ideal Rock Total Posts: 5,898 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 12/29/2006	What are your favorite baby names? A coworker and I were talking about this today, and she was saying how she's been teaching so long that she's been so turned off from a few names because they reminded her of students she's had (and apparently they didn't leave a good impression). I have a few friends who had the hardest time coming up with names for their kids because they already knew kids with those particular names they were considering. I never understood why that's a big deal to some. Anyway, girls names are easier to think of for some reason. Here are some of my favorites: Lily, Micaela, Chloe, Delaney, Katelyn, Kathryn, Ellie Boys names: Ryan, Patrick, Jack, Nathaniel

Boys: Colin, Cole, Charles, Isaac, Drew, Gabriel Girls: Gillian, Delaney, Maureen, Meredith, Maryn, Mylie I think my top two first/middle name combos would have to be Colin Patrick and Gillian Clare.

I like for a girl, Melanie, Stephanie, Bella, Grace and Lisa.

Danielle, Emma, Lily, Madeline, Kara, Addison, Charlotte, Alexandra, Francesca, Olivia, Madison, Lauren, Lara, Laurel, Roxanne, Liza, Mackenzie (some of these were before television shows made them popular) Boys: Alexander, Harrison, Cole, Hunter, Cooper, Maxwell, Jordan, Adam, Wyatt, Jackson, Dylan, Hutton, Nicholas, Grant, Graham, Charles, William, Henry, Oliver, Connor ... I am sure I will think of more! It is tough when you have an association with someone and that name becomes a bit tainted to you... **************************** "There is no such thing as fun for the whole family-there are no massage parlors with ice cream and free jewelry" Jerry Seinfeld

basil Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,354 Last Post: 10/30/2009 Member Since: 6/27/2006	I haven't really thought about it a lot, but I know there are a bunch of girls' names I like (Hope, Grace, Elizabeth, among others). There aren't really that many boys' names I like, though. I like Ethan, but it's too close to my fiance's name (Ian). I like Elliot too.

Now, I like Cassidy, Isabella, Sophia, Gabriella, Alexa Boys are harder. I like Alexander and not sure what else. I always have a harder time w/boys names b/c I don't tend to like most names shortened.

diamondfan Ideal Rock Total Posts: 10,999 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 6/17/2005	I also like Cassidy, Sutton, Delaney, Scarlett, Ruby and Sheridan for girls, and Soren, Austin, Leland, Drake, Hudson and Dashiel for a boy. Now, I went ultra traditional, I did not use any of the cool or hip names that I like, for many reasons, including I do not think they sounded right with my last name, but, I still love the names, whether or not I would use them... **************************** "There is no such thing as fun for the whole family-there are no massage parlors with ice cream and free jewelry" Jerry Seinfeld

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,936 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	I have always liked Emily, but then I found out it was like in the top 5 of most popular/common names so I wasn't as keen on it after that. I also love the name Lily. But I haven't really given it that much thought, esp since we are years away from having kids, if we even do! Common boy names around here are Ethan and Dylan, we have 2-3 friends with boys that name now..hehe. ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

Sophie Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,826 Last Post: 11/16/2009 Member Since: 8/28/2005	Well, If I EVER have a girl, either Leanna, (which is a combo of hubby's mom's name-Leslie, and my mom, Anna) or Magdalaina..which was my great grandmother's name...I love this!! Since I have 2 boys (Andrew and George) if I ever had a 3rd, it would probably be Nicholas Scott. I love that name. But for us, culture plays a role in naming, I am greek and we use family names..

A boy I went to school with, but I always loved the name. Logan is a family name. My SIL used it as a middle name for my niece. I knew a Paige, she was such a sweetheart!!! Another family name is Crawford, that would make a great boys name. We used it for Ashley's middle name. ____________________________ Piece of cake and a candle. ng gift

(All girls have Frances as their middle name after my grandma) I also had a daughter called Madison who didn't survive the pregnancy. I love that name. If I had another child (Which there is no chance of lol!) I would pick Grace or Olivia for a girl and Joshua for a boy.

I like lots of names right now. I like unusual/uncommon but normal sounding names, and I really like some of the older girls names too, like our grandmothers have.

It was filled with names like: Christina, Susannah, Alexandra. And what name did I end up with? Amy. Do we see any sort of connection? I don't think so. _____________________________________________________ Kismet's rings
