i met the cutest liol girl named tallulah two weeks ago and now i am in love with that name. so different.
I kinda secretly like that one too. :-)
BUT I think if your other half isn't on board, the dutch stuff is great cuz they could pick the name in english then the Dutch equivalent would invariably sound much more interesting. No?!?

My kids are going to have sweet names. like optimus prime, shredder, gonzo, and cung lee for example.
I prefer Beebop or Rock Steady to Shredder.
K.C. Jones. All the way.
"i think i wanna have 20 kids. the best part about having kids would be naming them. first one, doesnt matter, boy or girl. brrrrrrrrr. kinda femine but still very masculine. come here brrrrr. i love you brrrrrr. BRRRRRRR!!!! BRRRRRR! YOU ARE MAKING ME VERY ANGRY BRRRRR!."
hahahahaa love dane
FIrst kid i have, boy or girl, i'm naming it brrrrrr

If I have a girl -- "Soda"
S-O-D-A soda
Yes, or Seven. Of course, I'm taking this straight from that one Seinfeld.
I do actually have a couple names in mind for real, but like a geek, I don't want to tell everyone for their stealing pleasure. Anyway, I'm sure the wife would get to do the baby naming at the end of the day.
Yo-yo-yo-yo-Yoda......Hahaha....love that song. :)
Oh I just realise, are we singing Lola by the Kinks? Fantastic song.
lol, you got it
Weird Al comes up with the best stuff sometimes.
I'm so lost.
"I met him in a swamp down in Dagoba
Where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda
S O D A, soda
I saw the little runt sitting there on a log
I asked him his name and in a raspy voice he said "Yoda"
Y O D A, Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Well, I've been around, but I ain't never seen
A guy who looks like a muppet, but he's wrinkled and green
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Well, I'm not dumb, but I can't understand
How he can lift me in the air just by raising his hand
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Well, I left home just a week before
And I've never ever been a Jedi before
But Obi Wan, he set me straight, of course
He said, "Go to Yoda and he'll show you the Force"
Well I'm not the kind that would argue with Ben
So it looks like I'm gonna start all over again
With my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
So I used the Force
I picked up a box
I lifted some rocks
While I stood on my head
Well, I won't forget what Yoda said
He said, "Luke, stay away from the darker side
And if you start to go astray, let the Force be your guide"
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
"I know Darth Vader's really got you annoyed
But remember, if you kill him, then you'll be unemployed"
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Well, I heard my friends really got in a mess
So I'm gonna have to leave Yoda, I guess
But I know that I'll be coming back some day
I'll be playing this part 'till I'm old and gray
The long-term contract that I had to sign
Says I'll be making these movies till the end of time
With my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda"
I used to want to name my first son "maximilian", but i realized that taht sounded kind wierd. I think "Adam" is the perfect name, but it's already my name. I think the Name Joseph is pretty cool. I also love russian names, like Nicholai, Natalya, Natasha, Alexi. Alexi's the coolest name.
How about Uri?
uri and uzi tennenbaum?
Momento...yo conozco una hermana y su hijo es Maximiliano. Sounds better in Spanish but, it's always seemed kinda like a ritzy name. If you're dirt poor and you name your kid Maximilian seems kinda laughable.
"couldnt afford a car so she named her daughter alexis."
thats totally what'd it be like.
I have pals that want me to learn Russian. I started trying to learn it. It's really really hard.
Maximilian is coo I think. Sometimes when I'm first introducing myself to someone, I'll say my name's Maximilian. It's funny to see the reaction 'cause of course they're not going to question me about it.. who are they to say my name's not Maximilian.. so I'll wait a few moments and say nah, just kidding, I'm Arthur. One time, I went on a few hours without telling my real name.. so I was called Arthur the whole time. Felt odd.
Had a parakeet ages ago, that I named "Max." Max Tweety Clean I named him. Mr. Clean for short. I was odd at naming pets and things. Still am.
If you want to use a Russian name, let me suggest "Lev.." First name of the scientist that invented the Theremin! Yeee haaaa
anybody here speak spanish?
If i have a daughter, i want to give here a biblical name. I'm going to name here babilonia. And if she's fat ...babilonia la grande...
Okay so busted people with beautiful names, not right. Imagine if you will one Sunday @ the Watchtower you hear a name called like, "Brother Blake Kensington" so you turn around and the picture is just all wrong :(
Let's stick with the classics...the good ole' days when a name like Bertha, Beatrice, or Broom-Hilda actually meant something.
I've decided that if I have a kid it will be a boy and his name will be Bailey Laird. Everyone told me Chip was lame so I'll name my dog that. I'm not having a girl so I didn't even think one up.
i like bailey..but laird sounds either like lard or layered. but maybe i'm not prounouncing it right. haha
so i only have two girl names but they're kinda weird. either
aurelia (so italian but i was reading these books about rome and one of the most amazing women ive ever read about was named this and although id really want it to be my name, it cant so id go for it being my kids and then i could say it all the time. plus names that end in vowels are better for screaming cuz you can drag it out.)
tsaporah (zaporah but id like to spell it with a t because they're more fun to make in cursive.)
gotta think about some boy names, but it definetely wont be anything run of the mill. only one i kinda like is javier. really cool kid we met in spain and diego lunas character in dirty dancing havana nights.
i absolutely LOVE the name Aurelia. i've thought about it for a possible girl's name. (not that we're having kids for like 5 years, but still)
Aurelia Renee Duchaine..sounds so good
(A for Austin, and my middle name is renee)
i love the name Alissianna too.
and if we have a boy, i'm pretty sure i want his name to be austin. except i will NOT ever just call him "junior". i HATE that.
i think if the guy i married wanted to give his name to the son id agree but id refuse to call him that. like on my moms side its up to robert william meyler V. the kid could be named robert william meyler VI but id call him jason. he can get your legal name and carry on the tradition but id have everyone call him what i want.
hahah, that's funny, your real name is joseph, but we'll call you smokey the bear.
i met a kid thats family did that today. his real name is leonardo (he said leo but im guessing its short for that.) but he was like "yeah call me jake, everyone else does." they gave him the name so he could be jr. but then his mom just made everyone call him jake. his mom is my hero.
my uncle does that sometimes. He has shirts that say John on them, but when people ask him if his name is John he'll say, "No its roger, but there was a really great sale on John shirts at the store." And then people call him roger all day...
i always like to get key chains and stuff in my middle name. i think if you have those types of pens and key chains you should get them with a longer name on em, so i always look for my middle name.
ha ha some of these comments are funny, I actually had a giggle out loud.
Got the names picked out, for like 3 yrs now, Names not a PROB. What I REALLY wish i could do is make sure my first was a boy with blonde hair like brandons and maybe light eyes. and my next be a girl with dark black hair like mine used to be & light eyes. I wouldnt mind 2 boys, but I dont have another boy name picked out, ha ha I only have my first boys name set in stonage.
I like the name Alex. Boy or girl--I'm gonna push for that to be the name. Alex Valentine. That is a sweet name.
stout skipper mcGee.
Mustafa
I think NJ is too pricey to have kids, and I'd never want to raise children in an apt. SOOOO...I'll probably have a fish tank and name my fish all the names I'd like for kids. My fish will be fully equipped with middle names as well.
i have an alphabetized list (almost one male and one female name each) of names for cats and dogs. yes, i do have a problem. btw-i have little to no interest in having children-in this system anyway.
Oh noo! Summer is going to be one of those crazy ladies with lots of cats.
actually the names are species specific. for instance:
birds- begninello (well born) e betrinella (happiness)
o emanuello (God is witness) e evangelina (bringer of good news)
cats- guido (leader) e gatolina (kitten)
o pio (obedient) e picolliona (small)
dogs- canino (canine) e carina (beloved)
o donatello (gift) e docinella (sweetness)
fish- ilario (cheerful) e irene (peace)
o luciano (light) e letiziana (gladness)
i could go on, but ill spare you. its just that name etymology interests me.
Least Favorite name: Liveia Martinez sounds good but, no one EVER says it right. Livy's good, makes me sound round and squishable.
you aren't round and squishy

We have a new latina in our hall, and her name is Marisol.

my sister HATES raquela.....her names racheal and when my mom's mad at her she calls her Raquela - lol.
Hey, my husband's name is Donovan. I think it's the coolest name.
youd name a child sweet? interesting. my new cousin who is inutero has her named picked out to be eva. but that branch of the family is 100% irish.i think itll be funny cuz im unsure of how itll go.
