[Maximilianus]

I like the Irish names Sorcha (pronounced SOR-ha, meaning "bright/radiant") and Saoirse (pronounced SEER-sha, meaning "freedom") if it is a girl. I hope the pronunciations are correct. ;)

[MANICHAEAN]

Marmaduke. P. Thornbush Curratherrs Ffrench.
Now let the kids in class have a breakdown finding a nickname!

[Mr. Dark]

May Bee
Salome
Nishant
Quentin

Malcom Alexander
Lewis Lane Lee

girl
Elizabeth Emily Elane
Aurora Allison Anne
Rachel Renee Rain
Hope is pretty

[Stargazer86]

Are they looking for something traditional? Biblical? Ethnic? Trendy?

Jean is always a great middle name for a girl. You can put pretty much anything as the first name and it will sound good

[Virgil]

Danielle


Wait a second, why doesn't that one surprise me. :lol:

My two favorite names for me right now are Rebecca for a girl, and Christopher for a boy. But this seems to change every few weeks.

[Pensive]

Miriam for a girl.
Aaron for a boy.

[ImaginaryFriend]

Isabella Marie.
Robert Henry.

[Niamh]

I like the Irish names Sorcha (pronounced SOR-ha, meaning "bright/radiant") and Saoirse (pronounced SEER-sha, meaning "freedom") if it is a girl. I hope the pronunciations are correct. ;)

Sorcha is more SOR-CA. Saoirse is right.

[Remarkable]

Maximilian (well, I got inspired here:D), Alexander (that's what I'm naming my boy), James, Peter, Sophocles, Justus, Manuel, Elisabeth, Sara, Natasha, Nathalie, Melpomene. I'd probably name my kids Alexander and Nathalie, though...

[Virgil]

Maximilian (well, I got inspired here:D), Alexander (that's what I'm naming my boy), James, Peter, Sophocles, Justus, Manuel, Elisabeth, Sara, Natasha, Nathalie, Melpomene. I'd probably name my kids Alexander and Nathalie, though...

Are you pregnant? :p

[Maximilianus]

Sorcha is more SOR-CA. Saoirse is right.

Thank you Niamh! :nod: (I suck at Gaelic... normal... ain't Irish myself :blush:)

Three questions on pronunciation, please:
AOIFE = EE-fa?
PÁDRAIGÍN = PAW-dri-geen?
How do I say MAIRÉAD?


Maximilian (well, I got inspired here:D)...

Oh... by me? ... Aw, I feel so important ... :p :lol:

[higley]

It's interesting how names can fade away and then come back in fashion. Apparently Samantha's really popular again. I know several little boys named Carter or Connor. Lots of Zoeys and Olivias too. My new baby cousin is Cameron, it's so precious for her.

[Remarkable]

Are you pregnant? :p

You evil, evil man:lol:...


Oh... by me? ... Aw, I feel so important ... :p :lol:


Yes, by you:)! I quite like the name, I might even reconsider swaping Alexander with it for my boy (future boy, Virgil)...

I very much love all those names. They should never fade away :)

Yes, by you:)! I quite like the name, I might even reconsider swaping Alexander with it for my boy (future boy, Virgil)...

Oh, please, give your future boy my name, please!! :p :lol: (Now seriously, I'd be glad :) reconsider! reconsider! :rolleyes:)

[Stargazer86]

Aiden has become an extremely popular name the past couple of years

My top boy name when I was pregnant (before I found out gender of course) was Malachy

[Remarkable]

Oh, please, give your future boy my name, please!! :p :lol: (Now seriously, I'd be glad :) reconsider! reconsider! :rolleyes:)

Well, you see, I do have lots of time to consider the name:D. Unlike Virgil's assumption, I am not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon:p.

[manolia]

Cassandra and Cassiopea for girls (i love both).
Christopher and Demian for boys :D

[Virgil]

Cassandra and Cassiopea for girls (i love both).
Christopher and Demian for boys :D

They sound so Greek. :p

[Remarkable]

Cassandra and Cassiopea for girls (i love both).
Christopher and Demian for boys :D

Oh, I love Christopher, it has such a smooth sound. Demian fills ones mouth. It's like: "Demian, don't jump of the shelf! Demian, don't eat mud! Demian, please don't scratch mom's face!" :lol:

[Maximilianus]

Well, you see, I do have lots of time to consider the name:D. Unlike Virgil's assumption, I am not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon:p.
Good luck when it happens! :thumbs_up

My favourite Greek names, alongside Cassandra and Cassiopea:

Clytemnestra, Circe, Thetis, Athena, Andromeda.
Hector, Achilles, Odysseus, Peleus, Heracles, Perseus.

"Clytemnestra, stop pulling daddy's hair! :lol:

Heracles Miller, if I catch you peeking at the girls bathroom one more time, I am putting you in detention with Miss Cattermole! Are you listening to me?!

And thanks Maximilianus:). But I need to graduate first, go to college, find a job etc, etc. Then maybe there can be a small Alex/Max running around and messing my books:p!

[Maximilianus]

:lol: This is so funny! :lol: :lol: A very typical high school scene! :p Heracles is a naughty schoolmate of yours? :D

"Achilles Morrison, stop bleeding through the ankle! Leave some blood for yourself!" :lol:

Hey, I love most of those names! If I ever have a daughter I'll keep them in mind, so thanks for the tips. I also like Anja, like Anya, but Anja is more like Scandinavian I learnt. Like Anja Knauer (German actress, in case you dunno her :p)

[Beautifull]

hmmm...anja, B-E-A-utifull!!!
are you plannning on having a daughter soon? :lol: lol...jk!

[Maximilianus]

I could very well use a wifey for that matter... 'cause I can't do it myself... and even if I could... it wouldn't be half as funny... :lol:

[Beautifull]

:lol: wow, i'd like to see you do it by yourself...

[Dark Lady]

My fiance and I have talked quite a bit about baby names. At the moment we're liking Nathaniel for a boy. For a while we had Jocelyn for a girl, then Dyllan, now we don't have a girl's name.

It's really annoying that I love the name Lolita so much because you just couldn't call a little girl that. Darn you Nabokov!!!

[Maximilianus]

:lol: wow, i'd like to see you do it by yourself...

I can't, my anatomy does not allow me :lol:

[Beautifull]

:lol: it'd be interesting if it did allow you though..imagine that, a man pregnant!!!:lol:

[Maximilianus]

It'd be actually, especially for men who don't believe that ladies are stronger than us. Being possible would teach 'em a good lesson about gender strength! :)

[Beautifull]

It would!!! it sooo would...i mean, some men think women are too weak to move a plastic table, but oh! we can have a baby quite easily!!!

[Maximilianus]

It would!!! it sooo would...i mean, some men think women are too weak to move a plastic table, but oh! we can have a baby quite easily!!!

They suffer a severe perspective problem; they can't see that ladies invented strength. No wonder in some ancient cultures, like the Celts, functions like war itself were feminine. ;) But how could a blind man see why? :(

:lol: right you are! and men act like it's not the women didn't bring them into the world! it's not like adam had to be awake while God took his rib...he was sleep! the bible even says a deep sleep so Adam did not feel a thing! so the one to be strong first had to've beed Eve!

Conversation between Eve and Adam:
Eve: Adam, I grant you the pain of having babies!
Adam: Madam, the pain is all yours!
Eve: you sorry twerp!
Adam: yeah, well, I'm so strong that I'll be taking a nap while you do your child labor!

This thread moves fast:p! And I was actually thinking more of a second grader at a strict catholic elementary school:D.

Odysseus Johnson, I don't care if it takes you twenty years to finish that paper, you are not getting a diploma without it!

Which reminds me, the name Ulysses is quite cute!

[SoonerSoul]

Congratulations.... Although i rather like the name "Aleron" for a boy.
Meaning "winged one".

[Maximilianus]

Claire, Crystelle, Gudrun, Jodie, Kim, Tricia, Lea, Wendy... for a girl.

[JuniperWoolf]

Don't count on it. In the future, I'm guessing that people will be studying the Beatles with the same zeal that they currently do Beethoven.

[Janine]

Keith, Kevin, Kenneth, Michael, Araon, Alexander, Mark, Jonas, Jake, David, Andrew, Christopher....for boys...I like all of those names a lot...

My grand-daughter's name is Brooke. It seems to fit her very well. It has a certain strength to it and it's cute, I think. My son used to call her Brookie Cookie, even before she was born. Elise is her middle name. Now I just love that and it goes well and softens 'Brooke'.

Celeste, Monica, Julia, Rebecca, Lisa, are interesting names and sound pretty to me....

[Maximilianus]

Elise is her middle name. Now I just love that and it goes well and softens 'Brooke'.

Sweet Elise
sounds as bliss,
like Beethoven's masterpiece
"Für Elise" :)

[Janine]

Sweet Elise

"Für Elise" :)

I know it. That is exactly what I thought of right off the bat, when they told me it would be her middle name. Also, I really secretly wanted to call her that and not Brooke; however, 'Brooke' has now grown on me and I like it. She seems to fit the name. She is my sweet little Brooke Elise.

Is that with the 'e' on the end? Her name is spelled 'Brooke'....

[Maximilianus]

Is that with the 'e' on the end? Her name is spelled 'Brooke'....

Actually "Brooke" as a given name is a variant of the word "Brook", and it seems it became popular since the 1950s, probably influenced by American socialite Brooke Astor (1902-2007) and further popularized by actress Brooke Shields. This is my source (I am a name freaky :p): http://www.behindthename.com/name/brooke

My cousin is Katja, and she's not the only Katja I know. It's a Finnish name too :) (as is Anja, by the way)

---

I like the name "Chloe" a lot :)

When I was a kid, I would have wanted to be "Emilia" (it's the Finnish form of "Emily"). Nowadays I'm quite happy being an Anna, even if it's one of the most common names there is (especially combined with my second name "Maria", which is the most popular female name in Finland :p).

[higley]

I found out recently that I was almost a Greer. How cool would that be? I'd love to be Greer.

Janine, I really liked the name Jonas--until a certain pop band came around. :(

CHLOE

Usage: English, Biblical, Biblical Latin, Biblical Greek, Ancient Greek, Greek Mythology
Other Scripts: Χλοη (Ancient Greek)
Means "green shoot" in Greek. This was an epithet of the Greek goddess Demeter. As an English name, Chloe has been in use since the Protestant Reformation.

In Spanish "Emilia" is very popular too, and we have legions of ladies called "Ana María" (both names are very much used, either separated or together).


I found out recently that I was almost a Greer. How cool would that be? I'd love to be Greer.:(
GREER

Gender: Feminine & Masculine
Usage: Scottish, English (Rare)
From a Scottish surname which was derived from the given name GREGOR, which is the German, Scottish and Slovene form of GREGORY, which in turn comes from Latin Gregorius, which was from the late Greek name Γρηγοριος (Gregorios), derived from γρηγορος (gregoros) meaning "watchful, alert".
Sounds as a cool name :) ... and how did your parents finally name you, if I may ask?

[Niamh]

Janine, Brooke with an "e" at the end is a small flow of water like a stream.
Brooke Elise, such a beautiful sounding name! I think with first and second names it is important that they sound well together, and this just sounds perfect!

Nikki sounds very climactic to me, really. It sounds as one of those names that give an idea of sweetness/fondness :D

I'm so not special :bawling:
Yes you are :nod: :)


But hey, at least my surname is a rare one, and there are no other Annas with the same last name, so maybe I'm a bit special after all :lol:
See? There you have it. A good combination of name + surname and you're totally original :lol: ... (and surely not just a bit ;))

Janine, Brooke with an "e" at the end is a small flow of water like a stream.

Brooke Elise, such a beautiful sounding name! I think with first and second names it is important that they sound well together, and this just sounds perfect!

Niamh, how strange; here, in the US, 'brook' does indeed mean 'the small flow of water like a stream', but is spelled without the 'e'. I wonder if this is one of those instances, of letters being dropped in the ocean, on their way over to America...for example 'labour,' 'harbour'....both spelled here 'labor' and 'harbor', leaving out that 'u'...actually I like them both better with the 'u'. Hahaha... I will have to tell my son and his wife that their daughter's name means 'a stream', in Ireland. They will laugh, since she has an very Irish last name. My son's name is very Irish, too...Sean...

Here's a detailed explanation, I hope:

BROOK

Gender: Masculine & Feminine
Usage: English
From an English surname which denoted one who lived near a brook.


BROOKE

Gender: Feminine
Usage: English
Variant of BROOK. The name came into use in the 1950s, probably influenced by American socialite Brooke Astor (1902-2007). It was further popularized by actress Brooke Shields.

This being said, your granddaughter's name MEANS "a stream" EVERYWHERE, only that her name is an American variant of that stream :p

You be welcome :D

Curiously there's a verse in Mariana in the South (http://www.online-literature.com/tennyson/4066/), by Tennyson, that says "She woke: the babble of the stream" :D

hahah....now that would be my Brooke!...that is if she takes after her grannie. ;)

That can be somehow arranged by Nature contact, which is often not very difficult to accomplish on children (normally they love streams ;)). You can take her often by the streams and teach her how to listen to the babbles of Nature. I'm sure she'll love it :)

[Sheujade]

I had a dream a few years back about a little girl...maybe she is my daughter and I just haven't had her yet, who knows. Dreams are strange.
But in my dream her name was Aeryana Alyssia. Pronounced: (Aireeyana)

I am one of the doomed that cannot have children unless I have the procedure, but of course that will cost 11,000...money we don't have. :(
So, I'm putting her name out there if your friend wants to use it.

My sister is having a baby. I suggested Lolita if it was a girl (no, not because of the novel, but because it is a beautiful name, and is fun to say, Lo-li-ta :) ) and Art for either a boy or girl.
