what names do you like?

[SnowyShiloh]

Just wondering what everyone's favorite baby names are. Paul and I have a fascination with names. Our top choices for when we have children several years from now are Elliott and Henry for boys, and Molly and Hazel for girls. There's of course the chance we could change our minds but all of those except Elliott have been my favorites pretty much since childhood and Paul luckily has the same taste in names. What about you? I'm looking forward to reading replies!

If I ever have children(Doubtful) I would call them:

Girl
Indie
Suki
Kimora
Roxy

Boy
Damien
Drew
Lucas
Sebastian

I absolutely hate when parents name the children after themselves it is so boring and I find cocky.

 

[CKGS]

Not cocky Paul but proud. I think many find it nice to have a namesake.
My daughter carries both my greatgrandmas name and my aunts who died very young. She was my mothers favorite sister. I think, for most, heritage doesn't seem that big of a deal til your older.
I love my boys names- Corey, Kaleb, and Gabriel.
My daughters name is Sophia.

 

[Brandy456]

All my life i've planned the names of my future kids. I'm a dreamer I guess lol.

I like Chloe and Audrina for a girly, and Jordan and Adrien for a boy. =)

Lets just say I'm not one for tradition!

My buns have my favourite names, which means if I ever have girls they will be named after some awesome rabbits.

I don't know about boys names though, would have to cross that unlikely bridge if it arrived.

My baby sister's name is Molly

If I had a girl it would probably be like

Siobhan
Sorcha
Amber


I always hear names and think 'Oh I would love to name my child that' but I always forget the name after awhile!

Boy:
Patrick, but shorten it to Paddy. The name has always been in the family but it skipped my generation, so I'd like to bring it back.
Joseph, my dad's name.

I have lot's more but I can't think lol!

well my favorite name from when i was a teenager was Justin Michael, so when i was pregnant with my first son my hubby wanted a junior and i said no way, and i wanted Justin Michael and he said no way.............. So in Jan of 1999 Justin Michael was born to us,lol. Then i have Chase, Hunter and my lil one Brayden.

OVer the years i have had girl names picked out but that was always dashed out when all four times i found out i was having a boy,lol. If i remember right some of the girls names this last time were : Annelise, Olivia, Victoria, and i cant remember the rest,lol

 

[kirsterz09]

I think me and my fiancee agreed for the future that boys names could be Troy or Hunter and so far for a girl, we like the name Willow.

 

[Camarie]

I have always liked the name john for a boy...cant think of my favorite girl name.

Lol Thankfully I really don't like the idea of the passing down of the name, It's just so unoriginal!

 

[SunnyCait]

I LOVE names. My lists are stupid long but then again I plan on having/adopting about a million.

Girls (and yes, most of these are my pets' names, haha!)

Iris
Karly
Isabel or Isobel (I really don't see a lot of those around here)
Sophie
Jovi
Elizabeth (go by Lissy, partly after my sister, Alyssa who we call Lyssa)
Laura
Josephine (go by Joey)
Vanessa
Angela
I'm going to say it, but I love the name Katherine. I like how "Katherine Elizabeth" sounds. So big.
Hannah
Addison


Boys. I have less boy names because I really, really want girls, haha.

Jackson
Brody
Davis
Denny
Jovi could also be a boy name
Parker
Cooper (my roommate's dog is named that, so I'll probably never use it because he's not an awesome dog haha)

And then I have a Tanner James, who's name I had nothing to do with picking out.

My grandmother wanted me to be named after her, I agree that it's a bit unoriginal. Sadly though, my name was just taken from another baby that was born when I was, so in a sense I kind of wish there was a little more effort put into it. Not that my name is horrible. Just kinda wish my parents had thought of a first and middle name for me instead of hearing it, shrugging and taking that name too. They wanted to name me Melissa, but they didn't have a middle name. I like when people have a story as to why they named their kids what they did, it's nice to think of how much importance they put into naming someone.

If I had a boy I would want his name to be Scott. I don't know why, I just love that name.

Girls though? Ugh, way harder. There are so many pretty girl names out there. My sister told me that if she had a girl she was going to name her Rayen, and if she does, it will be the most awkward thing ever because I will look at that kid and think of my purple-haired night elf priest forever. I like Kala, Riley, Cicely, Cerys.

 

[pinksalamander]

I've decided that if I have a son he WILL be being called David, and I don't care what the father thinks! Not that David is my favourite boys name, but I think its a lovely classic name that will stand the test of time, and its also the name of my Father and both my Grandfathers (when I was little I thought all men were called David!)

Other names I like are: Oscar, Christien, Liesel and Ruby.

For some people though their parents, grandparents etc mean a lot to them so passing down the name is very important to some people, it's not being unoriginal.

I think it's perfect! It's just such a beautiful name.

I would consider naming my daughter/son after one of my Grandparents (Blanche, Inez, Hazel, Jack, Royden/"roy"), with the slim possiblity of a parental middle name (Graham, Candy, Faye).

My name "Autumn" is a bit hard... It was a little hard to have a unique name to go along with my unpopular, dorky self(that hasn't change yet either )I always wanted to be a Natalie...

I kind of like the idea of a name lineage alternating generations, but I also like the idea of one's own name to cut one's own path in life.
