But then what's so wrong with Cosette? I mean like a name, not as a character.
nothing's wrong with cosette, it's not about the name it is about the PRINCIPLE! givin a child A CHILD a name after a character in a book is so ...... i'm shutting up now.
about original names, i do like original names especially when they sound nice. and i think that if a person is insecure it is not the name to blame, it is the person. if someone has a beautiful original name and carrys it with pride i everyone's gonna say wow i wish my name was that. but if a person is insecure and doesn't like the name then noone's gonna like it either. it's so about everything and about names as well.
and name doesn't really matter after all. you can always come up with a nickname that sounds nice.
PEOPLE, LOVE YOURSELVES. money, fame, glory ....everything else comes naturally :)
Well, that's true.Quote:

As for Cosette, it's a nice name... though i'm not sure it would work well here in italy: 'cosa' means 'thing', cosette sounds like 'little thing' (i used to call my little brother 'cosetto' ;)). But in a different linguistic context it might sound really cute
hey koa, that signature, where is it from? it sounds familiar
It's from a song. "Every you and every me" by Placebo.Quote:

You're welcome. And yes it's terrible when you can't remember something...i know the feeling...well i guess everybody knows :)
I would choose a more traditional name... as a matter of preference... not something too extremely common... but something traditional, but not overused. One thing I WOULD NOT do... is name a kid after something from nature, like Sky or Rainbow or Stream or something like that.... because then everyone will know that his or her parents are hippys. :P
Hippies give names to their kids after nature things?
accoording to well known stereotypes :D
I agree with the Rainbow and Sky names, not really my cup of tea. But what do you think about the names of flowers, like Rose and Lily? I've always like the name for the Wisteria flower, (smells nice too) but I haven't decided if it would make a nice girls' name. Of course Dandylion would never do...
Iris
:)
pretty.
Yeah, I like that one too. ;) I also like lavender, jasmine, violet, and even sage, rosemary, and thyme!
When you get ready to name your child, try to remember that the kid has to grown into the name. If you give the baby a child's name (e.g., Bambi, Merry, Scout, etc.), as the child gets older, they may resent the name and you for giving it to them.
If you keep to fairly "standard" names, you don't run the risk of everyone mispronouncing the child's name. As the child grows into adulthood, they won't be likely to consider "hiding" their real name - make it something they can be proud of.
If you want to be creative, try giving your children normal/average/standard names, then call them by fun nicknames. I'm not saying Cosette is a bad name, but it may make your kids stand out in ways they won't appreciate as they grow older.
Just my 2-cents.
Very true, but what really constitutes a 'standard' name? Because I like my name and I've had it all my life, to me it's standard. But I do realize it's not common and it gets misspronounced all the time. People want to call me 'Shee-a', and I have to tell them that it's pronounced like Shea Stadium in NY, where the Mets play baseball.
I think that I stand out more than just with my name, I guess because I'm used to it. ;)
