Name Game?!

[NaiadWaker]

I would name a girl Lillianna and a boy Adam.
My teacher told me that when his friend had a baby, there were two twins born around the same time named Lemonjello and Orangejello. (They are pronounced leh-mahn-jello and or-ahn-jello."

...I dont really know any really strange names, but I once knew a girl named Unique who had an identical twin sister

LOL

That's hilarious!

[IloveFauns]

Lol NW thats weird. I am not keen on those names myself but they sure are differnet. Their was 4 sisters the first 3 were named 3 differnet names and the youngest got a mixture of all three names. When i remeber their names i will tell you.

Of course you could be like the Duggars who have 18 natural kids and every one of their names have the same first letter: 'J'. So long for initials.

[wild rose]

i would call my daughters Agnes, Amour, and Felicia, Rosanna
A would call my boys Roy Arther, Charles, Will, Sammy....
I once heard of the name Larika, has anybody else heard of it?
I also heard of Premika, i think it is a rather nice name

[Lucy Took]

Hmm...odd names I like that my Mom would call me insane for naming them that?

If I ever have a daughter,if it were 100% up to me,she'd be named Noël Lalaith. I love the name Noël,and Lalaith means laughter. So put together,it would mean "Christmas Laughter". Pretty,huh? Not sure if I could get a husband to go along with it though...

True, true. My brother-in-law comes from a family that has 8 girls and 5 boys. The boys all have the initials JFC, and the girls all have MJC.
(Also, the girls each have names starting with My...)

One interesting name I heard lately was Mystery. It's a girl's name. I think it belongs in a sci-fi novel and the character would have long black hair.

I would name any boys I might have some day in the unforeseeable future Adam, Luke, Paul, or Richard.
For girls: Misty, Lucy, Anna, Georgiana, Jasmine, Liah.....................

I should pull out the name book.

The name "Wendy" was invented by JM Barrie for his book Peter Pan. I know a guy whose family changed thier name to Aragon from, you guessed it, Aragorn. They changed it due to LOTR fame. I wonder how many other names have become popular and used strickly due to book/movie fame.

[ChristProclamer]

A twin sister named Unique--classic. I might use that someday.
I know a family that has 13 kids and they all start with S. Sara, Sonya, Seth, Sean, Stephanie, Sandra, Shelly, Scott...I don't remember any more.
Today my mom met a woman who had four kids and named them Yesterday, Tomorrow, Today, and Tonight. I'm totally serious.

[FencerforJesus]

In the movie Stardust, the King of Stormhold named his daughter and seven sons, Una, Unus, Segundus, Tercius, Quartus, Quintus, Sextus, and Septimus.

A friend of mine wants to name his first son Caedmon, which means something like "Battle-ready". If I have kids, I plan to name them something cool like that as well. But as I am a junior, my first son would likely carry on my name. But I am so bad at settling for names, don't ever ask me to pick a name on the spot.

[Shadowlander]

Heh heh...Unique. It's funny, one of the kids in my neighborhood "introduced" herself to us last fall while the wife and I were raking leaves and informed us she was named Unique. I had the worst time trying to control myself...my poor wife is trying to be civil to the poor girl and I've bent over double trying to hide the fact I'm laughing while making like I'm picking up leaves. It was terrible!

The one promise from my childhood that I intend to go through with is that I will not allow our children to have what I call "weirdo names". I have a weirdo name (Ethan) and went through pure torture at the hands of my peers growing up (when 10 kids are shouting "Ethan the Wheat Thin" at you in unison it tends to scar) and wouldn't wish that same thing on any of my offspring. I'm partial to David, Jonathan, John, Adam, etc. for boys and Sarah, Elizabeth, Rebecca, or Victoria for girls.

[IloveFauns]

Ethan is a very popular name her in australia. It is hardly weird. Your mean, that poor girl.

[johobbit]

Ethan is a rather popular name (and well-liked as well, I might add) in Canada. Tough luck living in an area where your peers made fun of it, SL.

Hearkening up to ChristProclaimer's post and this one of Fencer's, has anyone heard of the lesser-known, but fabulous, Dr. Seuss poem which tells of a mom who named all of her boys (23 of 'em) the same name? And then what she should have named them, instead. It's hilarious!

[Shadowlander]

Ethan wasn't always popular, trust me. I see lots of folks naming their kids that now, but back in the day (starts the flashback sequence) it was a highly unusual name and I was one of the pioneers. Sometimes I'd hear rumors from friends or relatives that their sister's cousin's uncle's best friend's roomate had decided to name their newborn son "Ethan" and I would shudder thinking what the poor kid would have to go through.

Of course it didn't help that my mom later told me that she had really wanted to name me Andrew but the family overruled her because Ethan sounded more..."poetic". *sighs* Them's the breaks, kids.

[ChristProclamer]

Aw...I love that name. I have a friend name that, and people think he's the coolest thing...
No, johobbit, I'd never read that one until now. Speaking of Seuss...that's another wierd name.
