What would you name your child?

GeoGeo
edited December 2009 in Suggestions
If you are currently planning to or hope to someday have a little bundle of joy of your own, what would his or her name be?

Personally, his or her first name(s) would usually come from a name that I particularly liked or thought sounded nice (usually these names are either somewhat to really uncommon).Their middle name(s) would probably derive from either someone I admired, or a past or present member in my family.

Girl names: Lea, Mae, Ana, Anya, Kathryn, Sofia, Emily (if anyone asks I have always liked the name Emily in general), Maria, Caitlin, Sonya/Sonia, and Rosie (short for Rosemarie).

Boy names: Aidan, Hunter, Alexander, Connor, Stephen, Anthony, Roman, Roy, Heath, Adam, James, Beau, and Ambrose.

    I could never ever settle on anything myself right now. But one of my good friends is very intent on naming her first daughter Sophie after Howl's Moving Castle.

    I think that's a really good namesake, not to mention a good name in and of itself.

    Generally, whenever I have these discussions, I just end up discussing ridiculous potential names for my kids. Guy's names I've recently tossed around either half-seriously or entirely so include Spider (for Jerusalem and Robinson), Wes (for Anderson), Sanguinus (for the Emperor!), King Diamond, Hunter (for S. Thompson), Fernando, and Ambrose (for the coolest kid I've ever known).

    Girl's names I am often more serious with, but my favorite is Sonsoles, meaning "they are suns" in Spanish. I generally favor Spanish girl's names; Sophia, Isabella, and Maria are also ones I really like.

    Alright I'm adding Ambrose to my list, I think that's a pretty good name.

    I never thought about girl's names, but I DO have a list of boy's names: Eli, Cyrus, Santiago, Felipe, Raekwon, Chad, Geronimo, Joell, Fidel, Uhro, Julio

    Yeah... Most of them are names of people that I respect, the names of dead relatives, or names I just really liked.
  • chaosof99chaosof99
    If I ever have a son his name will probably be Thomas (german annunciation) or maybe Andreas (german equivalent of Andrew) or Theodor. Girls names I am not sure about yet.


    Today I also came across another Calender where the name days are included. Don't think that is something popular in the U.S. and I think it's mostly due to the fact that catholicism is very widespread here. Anyways there are a lot of names on them which are really antiquated and who I never met a person with that name. Such as:
    f: Priska, Walpurga, Diethilde, Gisela, Ilga, Ruth, Rosalia, Melitta, Marlies, Hildegund, Kordula, Cäcilia, Adelheid
    m: Leander, Frowin, Stanislaus, Gervin, Wolfhelm, Pankratius, Meinrad, Ekkehard, Werenfried, Sefried, Gotthelf, Hedwig, Kunibert, Alberich, Ambrosius, Giselher

    Needless to say, probably no kids of mine will ever have those names

    Whenever this subject comes up with me and Jed he always says he wants to name our son Bahamut Sir Alkirk Jones the third. I always say hell to the no to thatV name.

    For a daughter: Zepporah, Layla, Persephone, Zoe, Artemis.
    For a Son: I really don't know, but I would like it to start with a S or a V.

    My grandfather was named Bonifacio. Luckily my mom stopped my dad from naming me after him.

    Are those supposed singular names or are they both first and middle names?

    Good. Maybe little Thor will learn to channel his rage. He'll need to be able to do that come Ragnarok.

    We can set him up with some of my blacksmith friends so he can learn how to use that hammer. Good for getting out aggression AND making cool/useful things!

    First and middle.
  • Victor FrostVictor Frost
    Well, my kids first name would have to be something pronounceable in japanese and their middle name would be "no". If you say my last name, in japanese it means "wind", so ideally their would be "something of the wind", which is pretty damn cool.

    How about Nausicaä for a girl? Yojimbo for a boy?

    Isn't "Khaze" also "sneeze"?
  • gomidoggomidog
    In Japanese? Kaze means both "wind" and "cold" (as in the disease), although they are written with different characters.
    Kushami is sneeze.

    Yeah, thus the bane of my existence during Japanese 101. Particularly when I came to class with a cold.

    "Khaze-san wa kaze desu."

    Still, a single pun is but a small price to pay for a cool name.

    "Delta X. (my last name)".

    I honestly forgot what names I once wanted for children since I've pretty much come to the decision that I really don't want to have children.
