Argh! Why don't people think ahead when choosing baby names?!?

How many times have you read on here something along the lines of:





"I really want to call my baby son Tommie-Boo Junior because its SOO cute blah blah"





Do these people not realise that babies grow up to be middle aged businessmen or lawyers/judges/doctors etc who will *not* appreciate a name which sounds like something a fluffy pet should have!





Fergawdsake give a child a name which will serve them well throughout their life! Shorten it to a cutesy "ee" version or nickname if you must when they are little but at least allow them to have some sort of dignity when they are older!

Argh! Why don't people think ahead when choosing baby names?!?
I absolutely agree...





Wouldn't it be great if you had to take some sort of test before you became a parent...





Question #1 ; What are you planning to call your child?


Question #2 ; Is it a) ok b) not ok to leave your child in a foreign country by themselves


etc, etc





The minute they answered " Waylee - its a cross between oour names Wayne and Kylie" you could just say - not granted - parent classes for you before you are allowed to play duvet tennis
Reply:hehehehe....its none of your business fergawdsake.....lol :)
Reply:because its an important choice parents have to make for their new baby. usually they are picked out, then the baby comes and mom says no! it has to be renee or something. the real name comes when the baby does. but i have fun picking names anyways.

Crazy,crazy people


but yeah,i agree
Reply:you're so right
Reply:AGREED!!!!
Reply:hehe your right!
Reply:Soooo right!


If parents MUST give their child an idiotic or common name at least be kind enough just to use it as a middle name and then the kid can drop it later if he or she likes!
Reply:Good point.





Do you feel better you have got that off your chest.
Reply:i agree there are far too many lee lees katy jays and loulous in my family already enough is enough bring back proper names
Reply:Totally agree - and people also need to think about how the first name fits in with their surname. There was a newsagents near to where I lived and the owner had his name up in big letters at the front - IVOR COX. My friend also worked in the Social Services and had two clients - a Mr Pipe who had a son called Dwayne and a Mr Organ - first name Warren - and I really haven't made that up!
Reply:You are absolutely right.
Reply:I agree with but some people don't want to know what they are having so they can't really pick a name before the baby is born. and some people need to see the child first before they can even name them. and then you have the parents who can't agree on the same name. so there are a lot of different reasons they don't do it ahead of time. like for myself I waited 3 months after my daughter was born before naming her and the reason why is because she was touch and go for along time and we didn't know if she was going to live or not that's why we waited.
Reply:You are oh so, so right

Reply:What about Fergawdsake Imafluffypet?...no?





Seriously though my Uncle is call Wayne King! can you believe that?


He re-named himself Eddie to spare his blushes at work though, bloody hell, what must my Grandad have been thinking?

Reply:I agree. Some of those names out there i wouldn't give to a hamster!
Reply:A lot of truth in this, and don't forget the clash of given name and surname.


There was a girl called Emma Royd who got the nickname 'pile' throughout her schooldays. And a guy called Howard heggs who went through his whole life being called Hard eggs.
Reply:ya know.this is your opinion. the world is full of opinions. It is wise to not be upset with what other people do or think,as it isnt any of one's business.I found that out the hard way.Consider the fact that the name one has chosen for their child is becuz they love the name and their child.
Reply:i think its up to them and no one else buisness!! and its even more funny if people are even botherd about it! how sad worry about your own! lol
Reply:People think these names are "cute" and "trendy".


They are both until the child reaches the age of 5. They go to school, no one can pronounce/spell it and they are mocked.
Reply:I agree in theory but can only assume people believe their child will be judged on his capabilities as an adult, not on a preconceived basis due to a "fluffy" name, More than likely, those business people with "F. James Robertson" are hiding the "fluff" behind an initial. To some extent though, even more mainstream names can have negative associations to other people, so this dilelma will never be completely avoided. I cannot abide the name Keith, due to a person I knew in the past. Keith is not a fluffy pet name, but I'd have to make a conscious decision to try not to unfairly judge a Keith, due to his name, and unconsciously it must be the same for others as well.
Reply:Why do you even care? It isn't like the kids name is going to affect your life in any way.
Reply:lmao yeah your right.
Reply:what do you think the chances of someone escaping the curse of an idiotic family and evolving to a businessman, lawyer, judge or doctor are? LOL!!!!





I haven't met a professional person with a name like Cleetis or Tommie Boo Junior :)

Why do Americans use a more conservative approach to baby names?

The majority of people on YA seem to be American (a lot of answers contain info about the country they are from) and I have noticed they seem to prefer more conservative names compared to Aussies. We seem to use a lot more unusual and imaginative names here. I always thought that would be the opposite. Why do you think this is so?

Why do Americans use a more conservative approach to baby names?
I have noticed that more unusual names are not taken to very well on here. I am in the U.S. and I like more unusual names....but like you said "get a lot of flack about it"


These are names we considered for our next child:





Girls -


Salem Kaine ( this is what we are naming our daughter)


Rellah Marie


Ellery Sinclaire


Merritt Rome


Larken Selene


Sora Masen


Arwen Patrice


Callista Paige


Jensen Ivy


Kyree Myleese





Boys -


Saxon Ridge (name we had chosen if we had a boy)


Bishop Caine


Lincoln Reid


Grant Lawson


Lawson Gaige


Elliot Pierce


Perry Jameson


Foster Mathis


Roman Bennett


Laiken Reid


Tucker Carson





Some people really like them...but very few....most people do not like them at all and I get the "they have to live with this name their whole life" speech.....Sorry, but it's not like I am naming my daughter Cloud!! lol

Reply:I am liberal with my politics and conservative with names. I come from the African American community here in the US and I have seen my share of made up, 'creative' names to last me a lifetime. I have a very conservative name and I am so glad! I have friends and family that constantly have to spell their name out and is constantly asked how to pronounce it. And then there is the names that you have to wonder what the heck was their parents thinking about. Now with the trend of naming girls obvious boys names, I am questioning my own sanity.
Reply:Some people like to use family names that have significance to them. Other people like to 'creatively spell' a more common name: for example, they might spell Caitlin like Kaytlynne or something. Personally, I don't like these and don't think it's all that creative, just hard to spell. Other people like uncommon, but actual names, I don't think you can make assumptions about a country so large as America and Australia though. Certain people just have their preferences.
Reply:i don't think we are conservative at all.





i love unique names, they just have to be legit.





how can someone like a name like Maddesynn? i have seen that on here, from the US. and i dont find that conservative at all.














EDIT: well, actually, it really and truly depends on the person. the top names of australia right now are normal names. the top names in the US are normal and ordinary names. some aussies are imaginative and some americans are imaginative. it really depends on the person. it's not a matter of Americans vs. Aussies.
Reply:I am Australian and find a great variation here of names, from conservative, to way out there strange, to sensible and sweet. I have 3 girls, they all have sensible names, but not boring names. Well I don't think there boring. I think everywhere in every land has a good mix of everything... Hope that makes some sense.
Reply:I am not sure what the answer to that is, but I agree with your observation.





I'm looking to use a slavic (Russian, Ukrainian) name for our future kids and when I ask peoples opinions they often say that they are too much, or a mouthfull or strange.





I'm American, and I do not like normal names, they are boring and not everyone wants to have Michael #5 in mrs. swansons class! ;)
Reply:I agree with the first answer.


Honestly, I think American's go for horrible names a lot of the time. 9I can't stand you know, "Hannah Marie, Peyton Jayde" etc.


Yuck!


I'm an Aussie, living in NYC.


My name is Anya Cate. My daughter is Arizona.


:D I grew up around friends with good names as well. hah.





I don't know, i think we are more imaginative, but they go for different, but just so typical names: Jayden, Kayden, Leiden.. etc.
Reply:Yahoo Answers isn't the best place to find a consensus. Americans can be just as creative with names. Australians can just be as conservative with names.
Reply:ok....................
Reply:Well, I don't know about conservative, but almost all the kids in any given generation tend to have the same sounding names, and you hear a lot of repeats.


Americans like certain sounds, and all the children conform to the same sounding names.


Jennifer was popular when I was a kid, and subsequently we had: Jenna, Jennifer, Jenny, Jen, Jemma, and Ginny.


Parents these days like Aiden, so now we've got: Aiden, Braiden, Kaiden, Jaiden; and 100 other names that are two syllables and end in an -en sound.





Americans like to think they're unique if they spell a kids name wrong or take two popular names and smush them together. Now there's a trend of taking tired, boring, masculine, white-person last names (Anderson, Madison, Edison, Carson) and giving them to little girls, which is just sad.





Another thing that could be contributing to this conservative baby naming that you see is that there's been a huge surge in Evangelism the last decade over here; parents are choosing Biblical names more and more. Even the ugliest ones. I saw the cutest little boy at the park the other day, and imagine my horror when his mother called out for, "Havilah."


What are some cute baby girl names??? I am thinking about-Aly, Ella, or Gracie...any suggestions???

I like the middle name Deliah also

What are some cute baby girl names??? I am thinking about-Aly, Ella, or Gracie...any suggestions???
Ella would be great! Though if you use it, I'd avoid using Delilah as a middle name, it just rhymes too much. Maybe you could go with Elinor or something like that, Elinor Delilah sound beautiful and you could use Ella as a nickname.





Aly is also really pretty, but sounds too informal as a given name. Alyson (or Alison), Alix / Alice, Alyssa etc would be awesome as a more formal first name. Alix Delilah sounds great.





Gracie, again, is a bit too casual. Grace would work better, just to save her trouble in the future when she's an adult.





Other suggestions: Ruby, Penelope, Eloise, Asa, Juniper, Kate, Kit, Evan, Tegan, Isadora, Annabel, Matilda, Arabella (Abby), Briony, Emmeline, Zoe, Cassidy, Violet, Beatrix / Beatrice, Adeline, Adelaide, Adela, Samaire, Sophie, etc.





www.nymbler.com is a great place to go for more, based on names you already like.





Good luck!!
Reply:what with all the old names you young moms are picking these days. every girl wants a cool name not a name that sound like your calling your grandma. my daughters names are Karen Raye, Amanda Faith, Ashley Victoria, Valencia Shaylynn, and Adrianna Louise. there all grown now but Karen and Adrianna have always complained because they think there names are so plan and old fashion sounding and there sisters got the cool names.

Reply:The problem with 'cute' sounding names is that they won't age with the child. As a grown adult I would cringe if I had to introduce myself as Gracie or Aly, they're far too cutesy and childish





Grace Delilah (Deliah looks like it should be said "de-liar") with the nickname Gracie would be beautiful. If you're set on Aly and Gracie as full names, I would choose the more mature sounding Ella.

Reply:Definitely choose the adult versions of any of these names. Allison or Alexandra (my daughter's name) so that you can shorten it to Aly. Eleanor or Elaine or Ellen (yuck) could be nicknamed Ella. Grace can always be nicknamed Gracie but it's tough to tell people that your real name is Gracie but you want to be called Grace. I named one of my daughters Brittany (she's now 25) and named my younger daughter Alexandra (now 22). We call her Alex, but sometimes she goes by Ally or Al. I know another Alexandra who is nicknamed Sandy. Although I love the name Brittany (it was not common in 1983 and it was before Britney Spears the hoe) her only nickname is Britt. Her sister has more options to choose her own nickname. I just think it gives your child a chance to name herself depending on what version SHE likes.

I think we've finally came up with our Baby Names. How can I spell this one?

Hi.. I am due on January 19th of 09'!!


We won't know what we are having until August 14th (if bub cooperates) :)





But what do you think of the names we have so far


Boy: Shayde(n) Ezra Runyon (Ezra is a family name and we haven't picked between Shayde and Shayden yet)


Gril: Kaija Reigne Runyon





We are having trouble with spelling Kaija... Nothing looks good when we write it down...


It is supposed to be pronounced K-Asia


Like Asia with a K in front of it...





So what do you think and can you help us with some different forms of spelling...

I think we've finally came up with our Baby Names. How can I spell this one?
Shayden


is a brilliant name for a boy


Keisia


or


Kaysia


look and sound perfect


Keisia Reigne (Rayne)


and


Shayden Ezra


are beautiful names


xx
Reply:I just found this.


It's so weird because my name is Kayzia (like Asia with a K in front, that's actually how I explain how to pronounce my name to people).


It's also sort of peculiar because my little brothers' name is Ezra.


I just thought that was a little funny. Report Abuse

Reply:I don't like Kaija i thought it was (kah-jah) or (ki-jah)





Kasia (what about asia with a K....i think it looks good and it's easy to pronounce.)


Kajia


Kasya

as for the boy I like Shayden better because it sounds better altogether.....and the other one is just too much like 'shade'..... also if you go with Shayden you can call him Shayde or Shay.....








good luck and best wishes. God bless.
Reply:Everones doing all the -ayden And everything rhyming with (aiden cayden hayden etc..........) But I think Shayde Is really nice. It has a masculine tone when thinking of a boy. And it also seems to have an aire of beautifulness to consider it for a girl As well!!








(i'm sorry i didn't care for the girls name you put up)
Reply:Have to agree with red lipstick





When i saw the name i thought it was "kar jah"





I like Kasia, very pretty name





Could spell it Kaysia, which i think looks good or Kaysha

Reply:I would spell it like it sounds because I thought it was Kay-ja before you spelled it like you are going to pronounce it, she will have a horrible time if you spell it like that.
Reply:Shay Ezra Runyon (Shayde just sounds weird and Shayden seems feminine).





Kasia Reigne Runyon will be the easiest to spell and to pronounce.

Reply:I like Shayden better than Shayde..


As for the girl, why not spell it like Asia with a K - just like it's pronounced? Kasia.

Kayja


Kaja





?? Hope this helps. Let us know what you decide!
Reply:Do you mean - kaiya? im not sure but that is my neice' name and she is soo adorable!!!! its pronounce like guy with a k instead than ahh....kaiya
Reply:Kaeja?





I like Shayden better than just Shayde.
Reply:thats my sisters name! She spells it Kaysha
Reply:I prefer Shayde... and I love Ezra!





As for Kaija... it doesn't look right to me... and it kind of reminds me of Kujo. What about Caysia? Or Kaysia?
Reply:Kaija Reigne? I have no idea how that is even supposed to be pronounced. Looks like it might be Kia Renee? If that is the case that is how you should spell it.





Shayde sounds like a Dungeons and Dragons character. Are you going to give him a staff and a cloak so that he can go on a quest?





Edited to add: K-Asia? WTF? Just spell it Kasia then. She sounds like a Dungeons and Dragons character, too. Kasia the Ranger!





Edited to add again: Oh, I read the whole question. You said you were going to call him Shayde for short, anyway. You can have all of the reasons you want for the name, it doesn't change the fact that is sounds ridiculous. Have fun with that.
Reply:One thing to keep in mind is that your child will


be using this name for a lifetime and giving it


to people to write down thousands of times.





If it is an unusual name, as your choices are,


then the spelling should be as phonetic as possible,


because that will reduce the numbers of times it


gets messed up.





What I would do is ask people how THEY would spell


"Kasia" (when you say it - not online), and go with


the most common first guess. It wouldn't hurt to do


this over the phone, because that is not the same as


in person and will have to be done many times.





You might end up with something like Kaysha, Kaisha,


or Keisha (like Geisha - which itself will probably appear


many times during the child's life).





Also do the reverse test: give someone the written name


and ask them to say it. If it's a more phonetic spelling


people won't have to guess how to pronounce it.


Note the comments here on how people put different


pronunciations on some of the spellings.





With the middle name it's less important, but, for


example, Reigne has no obvious pronunciation.


"Rain", "Renya" ... who knows ?

Reply:Layla sounds like a name that will get picked on by the time she gets into middle school and/or high school.

Does anyone else agree with me? Its about strange baby names?

People get so caught up trying to think of a 'baby name' that they forget that this baby is still going to have that name when they are a child.. and a teenager.. and an adult who could have a very respectable job.





So why call your child something really strange and/or have a really weird spelling. I just think it is a bit unfair.


What prompted this question was when today I encountered a lovely woman by the name of Baby. She told me her parents thought it was really cute for a baby to be called Baby.. but she has been living with the consequences ever since.


But I am happy to hear the other side of the story if you disagree with me.

Does anyone else agree with me? Its about strange baby names?
i know!


isn't that sad?


i mean, that poor woman, at a party or a bar one day, someone would come upto her, introduce themselves, ask her name. and when she says 'Baby', they'd think she was a hooker!





there are some downright mean names i think.


you're dead right about people forgetting their baby won't be a baby forever.


it's so easily possible to name you're child a unique' or 'unusual' name without it sounding downright strange.
Reply:Absolutely! You are preaching to the choir. Those names drives me nutty. I don't think a way to prove YOUR individuality is to give your kid a goofy name.


What about all those given hippy names in the '60's? How many Sunshines and Moonbeams went on to become corporate attorneys without changing their names?


You gotta wonder the same about all the Dakotaah and Shandaliqua's out there, too.
Reply:I agree unique names are okay but think before you name the kid and dont think about you think about the kid
Reply:Omg i know...like Jayden..and Brylee or whatever...very babyish names that most people use. I like really strong names lucky for me :)
Reply:Yes, I agree! Hollywood sets a horrible example, too, with all their weird names.





I just wish people knew that they were hurting their child's chances at things like job interviews when they give them weird names.
Reply:I agree. Some people just have no common sense, I went to school with a girl named Velvita, her mom thought it was pretty? The ones I really hate are the 'unique' spelling ones like Jaymz instead of James, Mayreeh instead of Mary, etc. It doesn't really look unique, it just looks like the parents are illiterate.





And it does actually make a difference in life though I'm not sure many people are aware of it? People with weird/unique names do worse in school and future career/income just because of their names alone. They've done studies and taken out factors like economics, home life, etc and just based on the name those children are worse off than children with more standard or properly spelled names.
Reply:I like uncommon names. But there is a fine line between uncommon names and crazy off the wall names. The name baby is definitely crossing the line.
Reply:I very much agree with you we talk about that all the time at work. I work at hospital where we do quite a bit of kids and some of the names we see are nuts. Like Bilarae supposibly pronouce billy ray or yeah the T-a this that makes me laugh somebody was talking about that last week. Try the names out honey or hemi. I think people are forgetting that these names have to be used one day for adult names.

Reply:uncommon can be cute. But That is CRAZY! It's a human being not a toy, or a dog whose name can be easily changed. I mean the kid is already goin to hate you on principle when they hit there teenage years. Why give them another reason to yell at you???
Reply:Okay Baby...Really? That is terrible! However I LOVE different names. My theory is this...In a world with so many people it is nice to have something a little different than everyone else. Instead of Sarah or Jennifer, which are everywhere. No offense to those names btw! I think there is a fine line though for sure!! I have definitely seen a couple that I am a little thrown off by, but really for the most part I think it's great. You probably wouldn't like my youngest sons name....Atticus, we love it though and it just fits him!! His middle name is simply Charles after his Grandfather, and I think he will love it just fine. If not he can go by his middle name or get it changed if he hates it that bad. My name is Stephanie....So booooring, I wish I had a more unique name. Anyway, that is pretty much my case! I am sure alot of people will agree with you though...It's just not crossing that line of absolutely out there names.
Reply:I have seen some of the DUMBEST names picked out for people. I even knew a girl who's name was Chlamydia! I mean seriously, who names their child after an STD just because the mom thought it sounded cute!





When my first daughter was born we had a short list of names already picked out. The funny thing is when we first looked at her she kind of picked her own name which wasn't even on our list. She just looked like her name belonged to her. and no it wasn't Gonorrhea, Palmolive, Tylenol, or any name beginning with a SH (Shanita, Shawana, Shalalei etc.)
Reply:Most people have no problems getting a job because of their name. In some cases it actually helps during an interview because its something to talk about. I worked with a girl named Heavenly and she never had a problem
Reply:i agree with you.


you can still give your baby a different name that still sounds nice but some people just take it WAY too far and it sounds stupid
Reply:i love weird names! lol lots of my bffs names r kinda weird! lol like Zeta Nyx, Vella, Nalani, Murphy and like wayyyy more! i think kids and teens and even adults need 2 b unique and stnad out from all the Jamies and Morgans!
Reply:It's white trash... or if it's not, it sounds like it is.
Reply:I agree, there is a girl at my school named T_a and that's how you really spell her name its pronounced Tadasha but spelled T_a.
Reply:Theirs weird names and theirs unique names I don't really like all the repeated names everybody has.
Reply:I really hate when people take common names and misspell them to "make them more unique". Hello, all that is going to do is frustrate your child's life when he/she has to spell their name for everyone. When said out loud, it's going to sound exactly the same.





I knew a girl named Jennifer... Except it was spelled Genniphyr. She hated having to spell it for everyone, and in the end when the teacher called out her name she still couldn't tell which of the three Jennifers the teacher was referring to. It didn't help her at all.





Please, parents- If you want a unique or uncommon name, choose an ACTUAL unique or uncommon name. Taking a common name then screwing with the spelling does not make the name anymore unique.





(And I'm not encouraging parents to go out and name their kids stuff like Moon Unit and Dweezil, either)
Reply:I have heard of a La-a (Ladasha)...


I agree with you! For the most part, full names that end in Y don't always work for the entire life. There are certain names that I simply can not picture professionally..


-Story


- Marleigh


-Kalee








My favorite name is Sara.
Reply:It isnt unfair. If someone likes a name no one should tell them otherwise.!!!

Hayden Paige and Alyssa Marie (What about Alyssa Mae)





Aidan Michael and Connor Thomas





Audrina Rose and Kyle Spencer(what about Aubriana Rose)





Good luck
Reply:I like Hayden ...


sorry .. i am no really help :P
Reply:My favourite from each:

boy/boy- I would prefer Connor Thomas and Luke Samuel, I also love the name Connor!





girl/boy- I'm not a fan of either of those so I'll suggest Ava Mae and Connor Thomas.

What about Todd and Connor?
Reply:Lily Grace - I LOVE it!!! nice and simple, but not boring 10/10


Ava Mae - again, i LOVE it, but Ava is becoming quite popular, and so is Mae if that makes any difference to you - 10/10





Hayden Paige - I like Hayden, but not a big fan of Paige sorry - 7/10


Alyssa Marie - I like Marie, but not Alyssa..sorry - 7/10

Reply:For your choices- I like Hayden and Alyssa, Joshua and Luke, and Audrina and Kyle, though I'd prefer Phoebe and Kyle. If I ever have twins, I just plan to use names I've already picked for any single kids. I have a base list of 7 names that I love, so I've never been one of those people who is really good at making twin name combos.
Reply:I absolutely love Audrina Rose and Kyle Spencer
Reply:Lily Grace and Ava Mae.


Aidan Michael and Connor Thomas.


Phoebe Megan and Jack William.





Nice names, they are all very cute, and ur other kids names are cute too. Hope this helps and good luck, :D.
Reply:How about "good twin" - "Bad twin" lol, seriously, why does everyone want double barrel names?





Lily and Ava on their own are nice. Or Paige and Alyssa For boy-boy Aiden and Connor. Girl- boy Megan and Jack or Rose and Spencer! I'm torn.





Keep it simple, you're kids will thank you.
Reply:Well , depending on what type of names you want. If you want the twins names to sound alike here ane some ideas:





Ashley, Alexis

I am just going to ask this question once more about baby names?

What do you think of these names? Do you like them? Your opinion is apprecited and you don't have to give a detailed explantion if you don'e want (but you can of course) but just a brief explanation would be much appreciated.





Boy: Regan Michael


Girl: Paulina Shalie

I am just going to ask this question once more about baby names?
I like Regan and Michael just not together.


I don't like Paulina and don't know how to pronounce Shalie.
Reply:I think the names are cute!





Boy: Regan Michael: but I have known 2 girls named Regan, and I have never met a guy with that name. The middle name Michael is strong, and although overused, if it is a passed down name, then it is perfect. What about Preston Michael, Kaden Michael, Hayden Michael, Landon Michael?





Girl: Paulina Shalie. Also, This name is cute, but Paulina sounds like an older name. And what if people shortened it to Paul? What about Polyianna, Sabriana?





Just ideas, but I think they are cute, unique names. Good Luck!












Reply:not crazy about regan for a boy, but maybe for a girl. paulina is just not sounding too good either , it might be ok but eventually i think she will grow up not liking it . shalie is ok for a middle name. same with michael
Reply:Regan Michael. I like it. It's unique. Good choice.





Paulina Shalie. I think it is a little too much. I like Pauline Shalie or Paulina Shae. Well, mostly Paulina Shae.
Reply:i really don't like either one, but paulina is horrible, she'll be called pollie! but y does it really matter what some strangers think of what you want to name your child?
Reply:Regan is OK. I hate Paulina. Middle names are kinda dumb to me all together. So the middle names are unimportant.
Reply:Regan - No





Michael - OK





Paulina - OK





Shalie - OK as a middle name only
Reply:Michael and Paulina are fine.


Regan and Shalie aren't.
Reply:Regan Michael- I don't like Regan. What about Reagan? I like Michael.





Paulina Shalie- I really like this name!!
Reply:I don't like Paulina Shalie


Regan Michael is okay I'd guess.
Reply:I don't like them either.


Regan, I would name a girl before a boy.


and I dont like Paulina.


Good luck though.
Reply:I think Regan is a little feminine but it could work and I dont' like Paulina, sorry.
Reply:I don't like Paulina Shalie, but I wouldn't mide Regan for a boy or girl tbh
Reply:I am not fond of either name. The names (first %26amp; middle) just do not flow well with each other.
Reply:I personally would not consider name a child either of these
Reply:Regan sounds like a girl's name.





Paulina Shalie reminds me of Paulie Shore. I'm not sure you want that for your kid.
Reply:I am sorry but I don't like none of these.
Reply:boy no


girl yes



Reply:I dont like either..sorry :(

Reply:Go on www.babynamesworld.com - fantastic site. It has a great forum.
Reply:Depends on how "cute" you want to go and what cute is to you.





There are really nice "cute" names like Alyssa, Kayleigh, Mikayla (or in my cousins exception: Mikaya - no l), Natalie, LeAnne, Annie, Brianna, and so on.





If you want a full name that can be shortened, you can go with names that traditionally might sound a little "stodgy" like Dorothy (Dot, Dottie) or Margaret (Maggie, Mags, Marge - not so cute) or Andrea (Andie, Drea, or Dre). There's also Catherine (Cathy, Caty, Cat) or Michelle (Shelly, Shell, Micha).





My daughter's name is Cassandra. She's gone by Cass or Cassie for most of her life, but she can also go by Sandra or Sandy if she so chooses.





The thing is, when picking a name, find something that not only is pleasing to hear (since you'll be saying it a lot!) but means something to you. The significance of a name is something your child will carry with him or her always, so be sure it's something you want them to associate with. For example, Cassandra, while a very beautiful name with plenty of opportunities to be shortened, was the name of a Greek prophetess of doom. Of course, my daughter has so far not shown her prophesy skills, but she is a very insightful child with a penchant towards the dramatic! (Go figure!)





Good luck in finding a name! Hope this helped.

best boy - defo jack xxx
Reply:elliot rose is beautiful but it would have to be double barreled to achieve its full potential. xx
Reply:Im sorry, I don't like any of your girl names, especially Elliott. Thats just horrible for a girl. Rose is a beautiful middle name and will go well with many other first names. I do like Rhys and Tristan for a boy though. Best of luck to you !
Reply:Leah, Lydia, and Amy, not Elliot for a girl


Rhys and Jack!
Reply:I dont really like the name Elliot but I do love its spelled Elliette nn Ellie. This spelling makes me want to like the name- I know it doesnt make sense lol. My vote would probably next go to Leah Rose.





I vote for Jack- I love it!!

Reply:Lydia and Amy are nice for girls. Leah is kinda meh, and Elliot will make people think she's a boy.





Rhys and Tristan are too trendy. Arthur is nice. Jack and Archie are nice, too, but I would make their legal names John and Archibald (so they have something professional to fall back on) and keep Jack and Archie as everyday nicknames.
Reply:Leah Rose what about using Lea or Lia Rose








Jack Rhys
Reply:Leah and Elliot are my favorite!





Jack Ryan and Rhys Michael are my favorite!





i know a kid name Arthur Warren and everyone calls him Art or Artie. it suites him but the name is just hideous,
Reply:Elliot is a boys names but maybe you could do Ellie instead. Oh and I love Lydia! For a boy I like Jack or Tristan. Good Luck!
Reply:Lydia Rose is very pretty, and if you like Amy then you could change the spelling to Aimee or Amie.





I think that Archie is the nicest for a boy. I also like Mason, Kai and Leo.


Alex goes quite well as a middle name with all of them.
Reply:Leah Rose or Lydia Rose...both are lovely names.





I don't care for any of your boy name ideas.


Advice needed on whether to keep or break family tradition! on baby names!!!?

Hi. in my family we have a strange tradition of naming our children by the alphebet. it started when my greatgrandmother named her first child Anna Alice, then Bert Benjamin, and so on for 7 children. my grandfather carried it on and then my mother, each starting with the next letter after their initials. my grandfather named his three children with the initials C,D and E. then my mother used F, G, H I and J. J is me, being Jessice Joyce. so now that I am expecting my first child, family tradition states that i use the initials K for my daughter.the problem is the last name is Kissinger, which would give my daughter the initials KKK. i want to keep the family tradition, but dont want to give my daughter bad initials. what should i do?

Advice needed on whether to keep or break family tradition! on baby names!!!?
I have a friend with those initials %26amp; it really isn't a big deal. If you want to carry on the tradition then I say go for it. If you don't feel comfortable doing it, then break the tradition.
Reply:Keep the tradition going i think it's kinda cool!
Reply:i think you should keep to your tradition as long as you have two k names that you like :) dont worry about the initials x
Reply:This is a tough one. It is totally up to you. I think it is nice to follow family traditions but that one might be hard when you get to "X" and "z". Anyways her intials shouldn't matter but children are harsh. Maybe you could give her first name as "K" and use the last name as the other "K" or follow the tradition. The middle name is rarely used so if you want follow the tradition. Good Luck.
Reply:i don't think its bad, but if you don't fell okay you should do what your heart tell you. In the school they wont call out all her name Kalie (Kaylie) Kamila (Kamile)Kissinger come here! Which sounds cute! I personally like the family tradition thing. But like i said its up to you. My mother names all of her kids with the same first letter initials "L" i want to name my kids with the same first name, and middle name initials.
Reply:I don't think those would be very good initials. I would either an extra middle name so something splits up the KKK: such as Keira Kristine Olivia Kissinger (KKOK instead of KKK)





I also like the suggestion to not use a middle name, or to use a double-barreled first name with no middle name.





One last possibility would be to still use the first letter of K for the first name but to use a middle name not beginning with K.
Reply:I dont think initials will matter she will be called by her first name and last only so it will be ok if you want to do it.
Reply:Don't give her a middle name, keep it KK





Or hypenate/ give her 2 first names (if your family would be ok) eg Katie-Mae Kissinger
Reply:I personally would not purposfully give my child a name that may be controversial. If you like a name go with it, if not don't. I would think your family would understand if you went in another direction. But the fact that you want to carry the tradition that is another story. Good luck!
Reply:There's nothing wrong with the initials KKK.


I think you really should keep your family's tradition


try


1)Katrina Kara 2)Karen Karla 3)Kathrine Karol...





or go to http://www.justmommies.com/baby_names/gi...
Reply:lol KKK, that sucks. Well that's tough. Hmm..could you do two middle names? One with J to represent you and then K. It'd be K.J.K.K. It's long I know but better than KKK. What about:





Katarina Joyce Kae


Kaelin Jessica Kae


Kate Kiersten Joy - my favorite so far


Kallie Kate Joyce





Maybe something like that? Traditions are important to me too so I would just do two middle names, one being a variation of your name

What do you think of the names 'Cade' and 'Lennox' for a baby boy?

Not sure which name I like better. Any suggestions?

What do you think of the names 'Cade' and 'Lennox' for a baby boy?

Reply:I prefer Cade myself.


Can you please give me your best ideas for unusual baby names, for a boy or girl?

I have a daughter named Summer Lynn, so I like names you don't hear everyday. Please do not suggest Autumn. I hear that enough.





Do you like these names? Layla, Pearl, Oceane or Ocean, Saffron, Stormy, Rori, Skyla, Winter (Winnie) Charlie after my dad. Or Faye after my mom.





For boys names, Storm, River, Jet, Cruz, Landon, Titus.





I like some of the celebrity baby names already like Suri and Coco. I fell inlove with the names Summer and Pilot when I was just 16, but was not brave enough to use Pilot.





I also love the name Jude or Judah. I also like August for a boy.





I cannot take another boring overused name, it is just wrong when there are thousands of Mikes, Bobs, I think it is time for a change.





DON'T WARN ME ABOUT KIDS TEASING, BECAUSE MY 4 KIDS ARE HOME SCHOOLED. Anyways kids will tease no matter what your name is, you pick a name mainly for their adult life, and most kids with unique names love it. My daughter does. Thanks

Can you please give me your best ideas for unusual baby names, for a boy or girl?
I love your names! They are different but not strange (I am a mom to 4 month old August Tennyson, so I like unique names as well). From your ideas I like:


Saffron: I really like this!


Winter: Beautiful


Stormy: this sounds like a cute nickname, but sounds rushed %26amp; not formal enough


Pearl: I love this as a middle name


Suri: One of my favorites.Elegant!





Judah: strange, lol. My son is August, and up to about a week before he was born, we were going to name him August Judah (so naturally, love these hames)


Storm: Like it, but wouldn't personally use it.


Landon: love this name, but growing too popular


Titus: a wonderful Greek name


River: cute, one of my fave nature names


Cruz: great name!

Hope I helped! Good luck!
Reply:I'd make sure that it goes with your other children's names. If your other children have very classical names (Sarah, David, etc.), then you won't want to pick something too far off. However, if they all have unusual names, you'll probably be ok.





Layla (alternate spelling--Leila), is lovely...different without being freaky. Charlene would be a good girl's name, and you could use Charlie as a nickname.
Reply:What about Pearla Faye? I think that would be really pretty!! :o) I also like Layla a lot. Layla Faye would also flow really well. :o)





For a boy, I like Landon and Titus. I also like Tate, for another option. :o) I also really like Judah a lot!! Maybe Judah Landon for first and middle??





Hope that helps! Good luck!!
Reply:I like Layla, Skyla, Winter and Faye after your mom :)


For your boy names, I like Landon.


I don't really care for Suri or Coco. Mainly because I know a few dogs named Coco. Suri because it is an extremely well known "celebrity baby name". Jude/Judah is OK in my opinion :) I don't care for August.





You have 4 children? How lovely! That's how many the hubby and I want. We have two now, but we'll have to see what the future holds :)

I absuloutley love the name Summer Lynn, I think it is gorgeous.


For the girl, I love the names Layla, Winter and Charlie. I think charlie is gorgeous for a girl, but the other ones are great to.. so maybe you can combine them for a first and middle name?





For a boy I love Landon and Jude. Those are amazing names. And even the name Landon Jude would sound good together I think.





I admire the uniqueness in the names you have picked, I'm also sick of the boring names you know the typical Dan's, Georges and Sarah's.





Goodluck! :D

Suggest some Indian baby boy names that mean "Sky"?
Well, my sister has a boy who is half Indian and half white. She was going to give him an Indian name. She was going to name him Ashvin. (After the dad left her and the baby she decided to name him Kaeden.) Here is what I found about the name Ashvin:





The name Ashvin or Ashvini is a perfect name for a young person. One with such a name is blessed with spiritual excellence and the capacity to give service through healing and serving kindness to others. The symbol of the Ashvin is honey. Honey has many miraculous properties, a fact that was known to the peoples of ancient days. Honey is the medicine of the Gods. It has the power to cure many illnesses, it purifies the body of all kinds of taints. It has a beneficial physical, mental and spiritual effect. Sweetness too, is a quality of the Ashvin
Reply:Aasmaan, Badel in urdu means sky and clouds
Reply:Akash - open space; sky


Indra - possessing drops of rain, but also the name of the ancient Hindu warrior god of the sky and rain





It seems you might find this link helpful, by the way: http://www.behindthename.com/search.php Simply type in the meaning you'd like, then choose "Find masculine names only" and "Find Indian names only" from the drop-down menus and hit search. Hope it helps! ;)
Reply:the closest i could get to your definition is Minnesota which means sky-colored water in Native American. works for a girl or boy.
Reply:there is Skylar, But I don't like it at all for a boy. I think its too girly and wimpy. Boys need a strong, Firm name. Afterall, boys will go up to be men.

Reply:How about actually using the name "Sky"? I know more than one guy named Sky. You might think it is too hippie-like, though.
Reply:well in Hindi, if that's what you mean by Indian, the word for sky is "Akash". Coincidentally, it's a real common name.
