Baby names!

Quality · 18-07-2008 3:20pm #1

Well ladies & gentlemen, what names have you in mind for babs?

My list gets longer every month...:eek:

Chinafoot · 18-07-2008 3:23pm

Not currently pregnant but I had my baby names picked years ago.

Ava and Conor.

I've heard that it can change once you actually see the baby but for now we'll go with those two.

You got any stand-out names for your bump Quality?

Vegeta · 18-07-2008 3:29pm

Timpiste for a boy or girl is quite good

Only messin, girlfriend loves Isabell for a girl so I'm told that's what our first girl will be

Isabell shortens to bell (which I think is corny) but she loves

Quality · 18-07-2008 3:30pm

You'll be sorry you asked..

The list is endless at the moment.

For Girl

Ella
Juliette/Julianna
Gianna
Daisy

For Boy

Moses while not a popular choice is a damn cool name, no one fcuks with Moses

barbiegirl · 18-07-2008 3:32pm

I'm called after my 2 grannies and I want to keep the tradition and the best combination of Alice and Mary that I like, is Alimae, and for a boy James (Jamie). A second boy is Eamon and second girl after me.
I like family names because I think they help maintain the family story and also they don't go in and out of fashion too much. I prefer to be able to say I'm called after my grannies rather than my cousin Rowena who's called after a name my aunt liked in a Mills & Boon novel :rolleyes:

kimcardashian · 18-07-2008 3:39pm

hail moses

shrapnel222 · 18-07-2008 3:44pm

after 2 boys my wife is desperate for a girl and would call her Juliette- this is already non debatable- i have no say in the matter:P

Brad Goodman · 18-07-2008 3:49pm

Caleb or Jacob for a boy. Jude or Stevie for a girl.

Yeah, I can see it now.
"Ha ha ha ha your name is Moses, that's in the bible. What are ya holy or something?"
"Oh hit me where it hurts John?"

Well I'd like to see a fight between jesus and moses, that would be cool.

Quality · 18-07-2008 7:00pm

I am hoping for some inspiration here so keep em coming...

Chinafoot · 18-07-2008 7:07pm

Oooh yeah Caleb is a great name. Also like Jonas.

I kinda like Etta for a girl, but my niece is named Ella so I think that could be a bit confusing.

Quackles · 18-07-2008 7:25pm

Oooh names

My favourite subject!

Boy names:
Darwin
Elijah
Joshua (but I hate Josh, so maybe not)
Ferdia
Diarmuid
Senan

Girl names:
Alice
Aoife
Ailbhe
Caoimhe
Maebh
Eve
Muireann
Caoimhinn
Realtin
Siofra
Laoise

My firstborn is Emmett, if he was a girl he'd have been Ciara, but I've totally gone off that now. I'm going to keep it quiet, maybe. I'm telling everyone Ghenghis for a boy, Gobnait for a girl.

Redpunto · 18-07-2008 7:30pm

I love the name penelope

Hubby ruined it for me, pronounces it Penelope, like Antelope

January · 18-07-2008 9:53pm

My dad runined Penelope on me... keeps calling everyone Penelope Jemima

LolaDub · 19-07-2008 12:28pm

Caoimhinn is the boys version of Caoimhe, the irish of Kevin. Its pronounced kee-veen or caoimhainn is que-vawn.

Hmm.. that shortens my list

dosed · 19-07-2008 7:28pm

my top three of each (for this week!):

girls:

> Adeline
> Cara
> Lucina

Boys:

> Sebastian
> Micah
> Tane

do you any of these?
I chage my mind with names all the time :P

Grawns · 19-07-2008 7:45pm

My friend called her little girl Tess. Not Elizabeth or anything, just tess. I like it but won't be using it obviously. I have a potential girls name picked out but am not telling, ( don't know why). It is an Irish name.

As for boys names

Edmond Patrick for my dad, grandad, great grandad etc. etc. something like 17 generations.
Probably called Ted or Ed which is a cool enough name.
My oh gets the surname so I am being insistant on this but he likes my Dad and the name anyway. He's called after his Dad and Grandad so that's where Patrick comes in.

Wish I knew if it was a boy or girl. Suspense not my favourite thing so pregnancy is proving arduous.

LolaDub · 19-07-2008 10:19pm

I like Glen or Alexander for a boy. Guess out of your girls names i'd choose juliet but none of them would be on my list. Naming a little person is so hard isn't it!

Not exactly. It's Caoimhín - pronounced Queeveen.

LolaDub · 19-07-2008 10:36pm

Funny, i know a caoimhinn and a caoimhainn but there's a lot of variation in old names i suppose.

19-07-2008 11:59pm

How about using one of the (great)grandparents name. Thats what we did, with one it was a deliberate choice and the other by chance.

I'm not big on Sadie or Esther... or Austin! My OH's son is named after his great grand father already so that's out!

I was the same, my son is called Noah Anthony Thomas Christian. I really like Caleb but I cousin got there before me. I am trying to persude my brother to call his son Jacob, Elijah or Jonah but its not working. I just really like these names because everybody has heard them and nobody uses them.

I really liked Caleb as well but somebody got there before me
