Baby Names
Mamaanja | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 07:24 am     Kady, we're the opposite. We have no trouble coming up with boys names, but struggle with girls names. Our first son was named before he was even conceived! (George) Our second son we debated briefly between Isaiah and Joshua, and chose Joshua. We are expecting baby #3 right now. If he's a boy, he's Josef Michael. (after my German Grandfather and my father in law) If it's a girl........I'll be here asking for suggestions. I think Karalynne is pretty....hummmmm..... |
Djgirl5235 | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 08:14 am     I love the name Hannah or Emma for a girl Benjamin, Noah, Maxwell for a boy The only problem, is that with my bf's last name, neither Noah or Maxwell really work... the last name? Wiseman..... you put them together.... My cousin recently named their daughter Kenna which I love, and their son? Weston... |
Danzdol | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 01:27 pm     DJ- I don't mind the way the sound with the last names.............Maxwell is a bit of a tongue twister but it's not bad at all. I am glad I found this thread. My husband and I have an ongoing debate in case we have a girl next. I looooove the name CHARLIZE, as in the actress (Theron). I like that she could be called "charli" for short. The problem is that he doesn't want it at all and I cannot find any information on it's origin. I know she is from South Africa. I even researched websites with her info on it hoping that when interviewed someone asked her about it but.......nothing. Does anyone have a book or know anything about the name. None of my books list the name. |
Nicoleme | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 04:13 pm     Julieboo~ my husband really likes the name reilly. he hates the name that i have picked out for a girl, actually no one likes the name i have picked out... PHEOBE JANE or GRACIE JANE for a boy, i like EBEN |
Twiggyish | Thursday, January 16, 2003 - 07:54 pm     I love the old fashioned name, Emily. It has very nice nicknames, too. (Em, Emmie) I also love the name Molly. For a boy, I love the name Timothy. If we'd had a boy, that would have been his name. |
Fluff | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 07:30 am     I love Gigi. |
Spygirl | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 08:42 am     Twiggy -- Emily is what I've always wanted to name my little girl. I love that name. Simple and timeless, IMO. |
Yuhuru | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 11:38 am     I love the name emily, but dh hated it. There were a lot of names that i liked that he didn't: cameron, chloe, anastasia |
Pcakes2 | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 12:23 pm     Mackenzie for a girl (knowing a daughter of mine would denitely be a tom boy, so she'd be called either Mack or Max) Jack for a boy...I'm into "simple" Thsi will controdict my girl name choice, but I never understood why people named there children a name, only to call them by a nick name. i understand and respect the use of family names, but I think you should name your child what you want it to be called, and save the family names for middle names. You have to keep in mind, on my birth certificate I am Patricia. I go by Patty or Tricia (family calls me that because my Mother is also a Patricia who is known in the family as Patty) Years ago I asked my mother why she just didn't name me Patty since I will/would never be called Patricia, and she replied that it just wasn't done that way. Geez! |
Whoami | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 12:34 pm     My friend Patty is always being asked if it's short for Patricia. My mom's name is Peggy, and she is always getting asked if her "real name" is Margaret! |
Karuuna | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 01:18 pm     CHARLIZE (Also Charlise, Charlisa) is a feminine form of Charles, which is from the Middle Latin name Carolus, meaning “little and womanly.” Or, it may be a form of Charlotte, meaning “noble-spirited.” From Proud Heritage, 11,001 Names for Your African-American Baby. |
Twiggyish | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 02:35 pm     I love the name Charlotte =) It makes a nice name for a town, too. |
Clp | Saturday, January 18, 2003 - 10:10 pm     Our kids will hate us one day for our naming, ie calling our son by his middle name and our daughter for her double name, our son goes by Hicks (he is the fourth male with this name, all permutations of first name done to death) and daughter is Emma Lawrence (Lawrence being my maiden name). But hey, I figure I did all the work, I get to pick what i like, right? |
Lyn | Saturday, January 18, 2003 - 10:39 pm     If son had been a girl we were going to name him Carrienne Lindsey Alice R. I have a grandson named Xavier Francis __________ - hubby calls him FX (his initials reversed) and I call him Buddy. We keep hoping that the name will grow on us but so far... |
Julieboo | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 05:13 am     Nicole, I like Gracie. It's cute, simple and timeless too. DJ, I get the "Know a wiseman" but not sure what you think is "wrong" with Maxwell Wiseman. Please 'splain. |
Not1worry | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 05:56 am     My daughter is Grace Gloria. (Gloria was my grandmother). My mom says the name sounds like a hymn, which I hadn't thought of. We mostly call her Gracie G. and sometimes Gigi. If we have another girl, I want to name her Tabitha, but everyone seems to universally hate it. I used to make a little hobby out of snipping baby name announcements out of the newspaper. There were so many strange ones. The twins named Precious and Promise. A girl named Tite-Ana. I think they were going for Tatiana, but poor child will be known as Tight Anna. |
Abbynormal | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 11:37 am     Tight Anna. ROFL! That's sad. I know a woman named Wendy, her sister's name is Misty. Their mother must have been into weather. Anyway, Wendy named her daughter Frosty, I kid you not, and tried to tell me it had nothing to do with hamburgers. Please. I was always afraid she would get called Frigid. |
Tabbyking | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 05:13 pm     what's wrong with my name: michaela (pronounced like the dr. quinn show)? lol abbynormal, you cracked me up! |
Tabbyking | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 05:18 pm     hey, just saw where someone used my name as something they like! my middle name is marie. my nickname growing up was caela (pronounced 'kayla', which is so popular now, but none when i was a kid). i met a little girl named 'flynn' and another named 'flanagan' when i took my kids to baseball camp. my kids are caitlin and kyle. i like the name 'reese', too, but with the english spelling of 'rhys'. i also liked the name haydn paul for a son, but we got a kyle instead! caitlin would have been cameron had she been a boy. |
Kristylovesbb | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 05:26 pm     I went to school with a girl named Logan. I think it is a beautiful name. |
Wargod | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 06:10 pm     Hey Tabby, Dakota's middle name is Caitlin. Since we had chosen Dakota for her name, we decided we wanted something very girly and pretty to go with it and Caitlin was perfect. |
Tabbyking | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 06:45 pm     how sweet! |
Tabbyking | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 07:18 pm     oh yeah, and in high school all the guys called me 'mike' and i dated a guy named stacy. no one ever believed he was stacy and i was mike! it was a hoot! bummer though, his last name was mccullough, so i would have been michaela mccullough! when my niece married, her maiden name was schmidt and the groom's last name was bird. all of the caterers, photographers, tux rental places, etc., had it down as the 'bird-schmidt' wedding! |
Lizadee | Monday, January 20, 2003 - 06:00 am     Tabbyking that is my daughters name Michaela Marie Michaelson |
Djgirl5235 | Monday, January 20, 2003 - 08:56 am     Okay, there has been some wondering why I don't like the names Noah & Maxwell to go with the last name Wiseman... Here's why: 1st - Noah. Could we get a more biblical name: Noah Wiseman? One drove the ark, the other brought gold, frankincense or myrrh.... 2nd - Maxwell. We are Catholic, but have a Jewish sounding last name. You throw Maxwell into the mix and it just gets all confusing. My bf already has to explain that he's not Jewish to just about everyone he meets... It just gets tiring after awhile.... In any case, I'm the one who loves Noah & Maxwell, but it's my bf who's nixxing the names... |
Danzdol | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 07:23 am     Karuuna thank you soooo much..I could not find it anywhere and I still love the name!!!!!!!!! |
Squaredsc | Friday, January 24, 2003 - 01:22 pm     djgirl, if you have a girl you can combine them into Noell. |
Tabbyking | Friday, January 24, 2003 - 01:46 pm     dj, it sounds like a question! 'noah wiseman?' "no, do you?" maybe 'ima wiseman' would work! and wow on the michaela marie!! my dad used to call me 'caelarie' for short! |
Karuuna | Friday, January 24, 2003 - 01:47 pm     You're welcome, Danzdol - my company researches name meanings for our product, so I have a lot of resources at hand. |
Tabbyking | Friday, January 24, 2003 - 01:51 pm     dj, how about a name of 'behindeverywisewomanthereisa' wiseman? lol okay, time to clean the house and start cooking for stuporbowl sunday! |
