I was watching the Olympics and saw an American swimmer named Kara Lynn. I loved the way that flowed. It was really cute. Right now I'm with:

Kara-Lynn Rose
Danielle Reese
Amelia Jane
Olivia Elaine
Emma Grace
Rachael Kate


Leighton Ryan
Samuel Mark
Matthew James for the abnormal one.
Christopher John (when I read this it was like an episode of Scrubs...Turk and JD....but I like it)


I'm all for traditional names as well. And obviously need some more boy names to be even if I'm going to have TEN kids.

[angel_luv]

I call the following names!
Chloe Lynn
Veronica Nicole ( will call her Nikki)
Sarah Kathryn
Joseph Michael
Bo Jr. ( Little Bo. )

Not necessarily in that order. Granted I really need five boys names and five girl names, since I don't know which the five kids I want are going to be.
Hopefully, I have at least one of each.

I also like the name Edward as a middle name.
And I told our pastor at church we might name a kid after him. So there's another middle name for a boy, Brandon.

For a boy:
Timothy David ( am calling it!)

For girls:
I also like Elizabeth Jane and Elinor Joy ( I call those too.)

[angel_luv]

Nice. Then you can name your other eleven.

My sister wanted to name her baby Eleven- thankfully the drugs wore off.

[mrsmaalox]

....... And I'm also a firm believer that you should use the name you want your child called as their first name. My mom and her 3 siblings all went by their middle names and they all complained that from the time they started school and thru adulthood, it was a pain to have to explain that they go by their middle name......

That's me. I don't even know why my parents bothered with my first name, I have never been addressed by it. It's been an inconvenience my entire life. I think I'd be more understanding if my names were used to honor someone they knew, but not even!

......I also like the name Edward as a middle name.

My youngest son's middle name is Edward after my dad.

[ashbeeigh]

Does anyone else find it funny that a guy started this thread?

[angel_luv]

My youngest son's middle name is Edward after my dad.

I think Edward is a fantastic name- so authorative and royal.

My adopted Dad's name was Joseph.

His first name was Rovel, but I am sure he wouldn't want me to name my son that.
When my dad was a kid, he got teased by his classmates and called Rover instead of Rovel.


And yes, Ashbeeigh, it is unusual that a guy started this thread.
But props to him.

All the firstborn girls in my family have the middle name "Ann" so something that goes well with that and my husband's last name for a girl. Since I haven't met my husband yet and haven't begun to make his life miserable, we will just have to wait and see what name goes well.

[Argiebabe]

Yes!!! me too Catalina sounds really sweet.



haha, my boyfriend is next to me reading this and you should see his face!
I had to explain that we are not going to have a baby anytime soon, at least for a couple of years...but he agrees on the names specially for a boy.

[Texas_Ranger]

Adriano for men
Adriana for girl

[Sunshine]

Well, my mom was Myrtle Elizabeth and went by Liz her entire life. MYRTLE!!! And it wasn't to honor a family member, they just named her Myrtle!

When I was grown and could get away with it, I'd say "What's shakin' Myrt?" when ever she answered her phone.

[Sp Ginobili 20]

I like names that could pass for a boy or a girl. Something like Logan or Peyton.

[manufor3]

My brother and his wife recently had an adorable baby boy named Miles. I think it's a great name, and I'm pretty sure as the Uncle, he'll forever be Milo to me.

[ashbeeigh]

I won't tell you, because then you all will steal it!

You can always call dibs.

[Jules]

If you have any children in the future what are some of the names you are thinking of?

If I have any male children these are the names that are coming to mind:
Alexander
Mikhail
Estefano
Ulrik
Benjamin
Cristiano

Our baby is due in Feb. We haven't discussed female names yet, but I've suggested Dorian for a boy and he likes the names Liam and Cavin.

How wonderful! Congratulations!

[Ariel]

Ariel is a pretty name. My gf wants to name her daughter that if she has kids.

I remember being a kid, and finding out some girlie movie character had been given my name... boy did that suck. In latin countries, and almost everywhere else, Ariel is a boy's name.

[Bigzax]

catalina is cool, but reminds me of salma's goodies in desperado...


my next kid if i'm so blessed shall be named Sarah or Isaiah...
