have you ever fallen in love with a particular name...and wished it was yours...
or had a secret romance with it... and wished that you had someone to call by that name... and hoped that that someone were the one you have always wanted to love...?:blush:

There are two male names that i like very much. The first (and my favourite) is Alexander (i am resolved that if i ever have a son to give him this name). The second name is Andrew (which incidentally is my boyfriend's name :D ).

actually it's the name Dave I am very much in love with... simple... but... I don't know... I don't know why but somehow it makes me long for someone who had that name... I've been dreaming of that since last year and now the feeling seems to have grown more intense... I really don't understand why... but...

I love the name Anne. It seems so queenly. Definitely if I ever have a daughter she'll be called Anne.

I have a serious thing for male biblical names, I have loved the name Isaac for a long, long time and I was able to give that name to my first born and to this day, almost 14 years later, it's still wonderful to be able to use it on a daily basis. Solomon was the other biblical name I had a serious thing for but I wasn't able to use that, I had to settle for Samuel for my second son but I was pretty happy with that as well.

There's also a couple of LOTR names that I just love, Isildur is one, I tried to talk my oldest into adding it as a middle name but he remains unconvinced. :p I did have a cat with that name so I was able to satisfy that desire at least a little bit. The other LOTR name is Maedhros, it just rolls off the tongue...I should see if I can convince the other son to take that name, I don't think I've ever approached him about that. He wanted Frodo but I nixed that. :rolleyes:

We had a bartender in Cancum with the name Javier. Love it. I've always like the name Paul as well.

Also, the Spanish version of my name is Daniela, I love when people call me that.

Isildur, hm? I prefer Elendil. LOTR names are tiptop, that's for sure. I'm keeping Melian as a possible name for a future daughter, if I ever get married. It's a pity I can't have a little Aragorn, Faramir or Boromir running around.

:lol:

Part of my thing with Isildur is that I just loved that character, I love characters that are basically good people, they just make horrible, life altering choices :lol: , Maedhros fits that catagory as well. Melian is beautiful and a name that can work in real life, Aragorn, Boromir and Faramir are a little harder to pull off...as are Isildur and Maedhros. :p

They really do. For me, the Old Testament is where the real power lies but even New Testament names have a significance to them that you don't find in every day names, at least they do for me.

Yes the name is everything. I just read a book The Namesake, it's all about an Indian boy called Gogle, (not Google) who hates his name so much he changes it. The book is built around around his name. Actually it was quite a good book, about an Indian family who leave Calcutta and live in the U.S

I agree. When we got our beagle puppy, we had originally planned on naming him either Bilbo or Frodo but ended up going with Smeagol because of the symmetry of being able to say Smeagol the beagle. :p :rolleyes: It's turned out to be the perfect name for him too because like his namesake, he has the ability to be both sweet and evil at the same time.

Arwen (for girls)
Taliesin (for both sexes)
Sa'ad (for boys)
Ali (for boys)
Qandeel (for girls)

I seriously hope none of you have children ;) I'd punch myself if I was ever named after a LOTR character... I think they're pretty, but not practical...

I actually have a random first and last name combo that I used for the main character of a random short story I wrote, and I fell in love with her name ;)

Sarah Dorlain (I can't think of a suitable middle name)

I also like these random first names:
Simon
Anita
Sean
Logan
Katrina
Sylvia
Jacob
Joseph

I would also like my name (Tatiana), if I wasn't made fun of so much for it, americans are ignorant and call me a white girl with a black name, even though it is Russian in origin...

I also like these random names:
Blackfire
Koryu Krissanti
Kazuma
Jin
Damien (ever since i first watched The Omen)
Kyo
Jean Claude
and Belle Morte.

i like biblical boys' names, too, although I'm an evil heathen! I just like the way they sound.. my faves are Daniel and Gabriel.
I've got a thing for simple run-of-the-mill English first names in generel (biblical or otherwise), e.g. Michael, John, Dave..
My boyfriend is called Michael and my favourite teacher and number one role model is a Mike, but I've always like the sound of "Mike" even before I knew either of them.

other names I like:
Taliesin (hey Pensy, there will be lots of little Taliesins around)
Imtiaz and Firoz (the twins from A Suitable Boy)
---> what are they pronounced like???

Ephraim
Damon
Damian
Severin

Hehe, there are already quite a number of Taliesins around here in the forum already, but of course not little ones... :p

Oh I like Firoz too! I hear/read these names quite often. An Imtiaz being my father's colleague and Firoz I have read in novels. :p

Imtiaz is pronounced something like this: Im-tay-aaz (i is pronounced like the i in "in" and "t" is prounced the way French prounce it).

Firoz is pronounced like this: Fee-rose.

This novel, A Suitable Boy seems like a Pakistani/Indian/Bengali novel, because I think such names are not common in other cultures...

As a kid of ten I used to state to my friends, complete with blushing and stuff, that I was falling for an odd book character named Stirling... and after that almost all the boy main characters in the stories I wrote (even in my first novel) were named Stirling too... :p

This is why you have kids. Then you get to name them and they'll wish for something else when they get older;) Seriously though, I love both my children's names. They are Garrick and Victoria. They are nice and older sounding unlike some of the kids I've seen with parents who named them Bambi. Sure it is cute when you are little, but who can take you seriously as an adult:lol: I also like:
Roderic
Arabella (Bella for short, but they still have an adult's name when they get older)
Ardan
Lucien
Clarissa (Rissa for short and see above for reasoning)
Alyssa
Lyssandra
Warrick (what can I say, I have a thing for boy names ending in "ick":))
I'm sure I can think of more that I like, but these are the top ones for me.

Yeah, I remember when my little cousin was small (about three years old, I suppose?) she asked my aunt why they didn't call her Patricia. "That's because when you were born, your father and I wanted to name you Cyan," her mother replied. In response to that, my cousin cried out indignantly, "Why didn't you just ask me, then?!"]

Hehe perhaps someone (from relatives or friends) might consult you for a name. Well, this was the only hope for me as a little girl. (ah these shattered hopes) I was always looking forward to name a relative's child whenever she would be born (oh for some unknown reason I love to name girls the best). Used to wish that I had a younger sister I could name. Actually my brother a kind of named me (impressed from an actress in a tv drama, perhaps he thought I looked like her) though the final decision was of paternal grandfather with the switch of two letters in the name. Well, pretty much the same. And poor I, I had no younger sibling to name! :p

Oh well, now I have found an alternative for it which is to include my favourite names in stories I write. Or to persuade others to include the names I like in their stories. ;) It's quite helpful! :p

Great idea. The only thing is, nicknames tend to stick. My shortened name is like a cheerleader's name, which was great when I was a cheerleader. But as a grandmother, I think it sounds silly. No one called my by my real given name.

I have always loved the name John and I'm kinda partial to the name Dan......for a girl, Sarah is my favorite.

I have always loved the names Audrey, Maura and Fiona. If I had ever had daugters, they would have had those names. (And I have often thought about changing my own name to Maura, but feel somehow that would make me less authentic to who i really am.)

For a boy, I always wanted to name a son Seamus. But since I won't be having kids, I named my cat Seamus instead. Best of both worlds, IMO. :)

Male name: Rowan. I've no idea why.

You're not the only one :blush: Only the problem is that if I'm ever going to have children, it would be weird to give them English names. (Though my two aunts have done just that even thoug they and their husbands are completely Finnish.)

Are there names that you used to like, but after meeting some not-so-nice person with that name you realised that the name was spoilt for you forever? I used to think that Marianne was a nice name, but then I met a girl named Marianne and she is one of my least-favourite persons ever, and now I can never like that name again.

And yes, sometimes it happens that a name I used to like is spoilt by the idea of a certain person...for example, I don't like the names Giulia, Denise and Sofia after I got to know some girls named that way..

how definitely true. there are names you fall in love with because of the people bearing them. but of course there are some names that you fall in love with.. i love my brother's first name, Amadeus, but he prefers his second name, Gabriel. I love my second name too, Isabel.

Mark and Dave. But those are the names of my crushes, that's why. :blush:

If you're some sort of an LOTR-obsessed kid...

Why don't you name them after your favorite band vocalists? :p

I like FOB, but Pete is just outright strange for any of my future kids, being too short and everything.

Pete just sounds so....blah.

My favorite band's singers have such weird names too: Strify, Kiro, Shin, Yu and Luminor!

If I had a boy I'd probably name him Elijah. and If I had a girl I might name her Isabelle. She would probably hate me for that though.

I change my mind about names and whether I like them or not, and have you ever known some dispicable person with a great name who has ruined that name for you forever? I just hate that!

Indeed! There are people whose personalities just don't seem to "fit into" their names. It's just so sad that we can't do anything about this, and if ever these people happen to come into our lives, it can't be helped.

I know someone with a very unique second name. I don't mean to brag, but as far as I know, she was the first person in the world to ever have had it. I've come across some people who were named after her, though--kids pretty much younger. Though she was glad to know how much other people appreciated her that way, she was not very pleased when she found out that others were using her name as aliases in sites such as Friendster, where she also happens to be a member. Why do I know all this? Hmmm.... :p

I just had a sub today in English and he was talking about how his first name is 'Thorne'. I think that's so cool!

My kids are doomed. They're all going to have old-English mythical-sounding names. Poor (lucky?) them.

I was once party to a converation where a set of furious parents-to-be slated another couple for 'stealing' a name from 'their list'. once their distant friends called their newborn 'X' they felt they couldn't call their baby 'X'. i say 'X' because throughout the conversation they refused to say the name even though it was now sullied.

i've never known what to make of it- where they dead right to complain or were they being silly and should have just used the name regardless, especially as the other couple weren't close friends and (based on what they ended up calling the kid) the name was fairly unusual but in no way completely unique?

Well, in To Kill A Mockingbird there was a character named "X."

What was the baby's surname? Rated? Hehe, just kidding. Please don't take offense. :)

Having already named my children I realized after their conception (twins) I would not be alone in naming them. Alas, my dear spouse and I did not agree on what we loved to call them. They now have nice plain names with ambigious meanings and are rarely mispelled and never mispronounced, all the wrong attributes for a truely lovely name. (I am teasing.) I suppose like Juliet I believe the person to be more important than the name. Not at all condeming those who love a name for its own sake.
I have always been drawn to Rozelin for a girl and Roman for a boy.

Funny story- I was supposed to be Sarah Beth but when I was born I had water in my lungs and when I first started crying my mom and my dad in unison said "It's okay ..." and said the name I have today- which isn't Sarah Beth, so the decided that was what my name would be.

recently i felt cheated with regards the name i was given. i lobbied to have it amended -- to no avail. i realize now my name is a mere coefficient. to be free of its burden is as simple as arithematic.

My first 2 names are Maria Lourdes (I was named after St.Lourdes) and my nickname's Baby. And now now.. Don't get me wrong, I love my nickname but it's just that almost all couples has "baby" for a petname. SEEEEESH. Haha but yeah, I can't do anything about it. It's too much damn work to change my name. So I guess, I'll stick with it. Haha

I don't like Maria very much because all women in my family has it. My sister is Camila Maria, my mother is Maria Cristina, my grandmother is just Maria and so on. I really prefer Manuela :D and the meaning is also a big plus :)

Samson is a cool name...and Ophelia. I can't say I've fallen in love with either though. I've always kind of wished my name was Arkantos.
