    Too much negativity in the other thread, so to counter the bad vibes, I was wondering what names appeal to you.

    My favourite female name would probably be Yayoi and my preferred male name would probably be Ashok.

    I like Cheryl and Ashley.

    Threesome with the Coles would have been right up your street so:)

    All Shaunas are red hot, as is anyone called Niki or Dani.

    I was tempted to put the missus name there but (whispers) it's not as fab sounding as the one I put instead. She's a mate of ours :D

    I've often fantasised of the genial Ulsterman's face contorted in the throes of passionate lovemaking.

    The correct Irish spelling is Dara.

    I've often fantasised of the genial Ulsterman's face contorted in the throes of passionate lovemaking to a cake.

    You didn't finish that sentence.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 824 ✭✭✭magicmushroom


    The correct Irish spelling is Dara.

    I didn't say anything about it being the correct Irish spelling - it could be the German spelling for all I care - the question was what names do you like

    Common enough amongst Indians etc. However any white Irish fella calling his son Ashok or his daughter Yayoi would want a toe up his hole.

    As a giant nerd there are quite a few names I'd like to give my kids that I couldn't simply because either I wouldn't be able to take my mother's eye rolling, or because they'd get bullied in school. Chianna, Nausicaa, Dargo, Arya, Angua, and many more.

    My brother gave his daughter an unusual middle name but didn't really tell anyone. Cue his father in law declaring 'They're calling the child what??' loudly in the middle of the service.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    I like universal names, usually biblical like Sarah, Ben, Thomas etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 824 ✭✭✭magicmushroom


    I also love Harry - my husband hates it though and says we can never have a son named this as it's 'too English' - lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,028 ✭✭✭✭ButtersSuki


    I'm like Frank Zappa...in that I like the names Dweezil and Moon Unit.

    I like traditional names like James, Robert or George. For girls I love the names Lydia and Lillian.

    A son of Jacob.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,592 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    A son of Jacob.

    One of the Jacob's was he?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,973 ✭✭✭19543261


    I would name both my daughter and son Comgella and put little blue boats on both of their heads and paint them white. The boats white, I mean. The children would be be brown in colour.

    ...

    Any Indian ladies reading this? Hunky hunky man here wanting some action... D&D free.

    Junior.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,983 ✭✭✭Raminahobbin


    Definitely Meadhbh or Alannah for a girl, Oisin or Fionn for a boy. I love Arya too, just can't seem to get around the tackiness of naming a kid after a fictional character :P Might use it for a pet cat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 673 ✭✭✭pundy


    a lot of "new-age" suggestions here.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,039 ✭✭✭force eleven


    Meriadoc and/or Peregrine

    And what if that fella is married to an Asian lady? :)

    I think names can cross international and cultural barriers - whyever not?
