What are your kids names? - Page 3

If I'm carrying a boy he'll be Orion Gabriel. Uhm, I hope it's a boy because we don't have a girl name we are into.

Tyr Frederick

[Chryseis]

We have

Molly Renee
Maximilian Andrew
Magdalena Blaise

My kids have English names and Chinese names. On the English side our son is Dylan Christopher (Christopher is after my brother and DH chose Dylan after Bob Dylan) and my daughter is Annika Miriam. Their Chinese names are Chong Xiao and Cui Shi. Their birth certificates have their Chinese names on them but we use both names as well as their nicknames.

On my side there's a niece called Maleah (pronounced mah-lay-ah) and a nephew called Kayden. On DH's side its all Chinese names and honestly I can't remember all of their names but the ones closest to us are Chong Jun and Cui Yu. Traditionally in China all kids of the same generation have the same first character in their names, what you call a "generational name," so that's why my kids' names are similar to their cousins'.

[mamadelbosque]

I have Andros & Keegan (Water & Fire respectively... we're hoping they put each other out later on :P

[listipton]

We have an Ahnna Isabella and a Harrison Glenn.

[elmh23]

Mine are Sarah, Simon and Christopher.

If they had been the opposite gender, they would have been Jasper, Alexandra and Miriam/Mary/Marian (I couldn't decide, luckily we knew he was a boy so it didn't really matter.)

Love that! Such a nice sounding name with an awesome namesake.

[KaliShanti]

Praetorian Stone (Tor) is my son.
Zion Merciful is my daughter.

Ella Irie &
Kaya Raine


DHs Mom was Ellen, my Aunt was Eileen...both passed away-we wanted a name that reminded us of both of them but didn't want to use either actual name-went with Ella...Irie means "it's all good" in Rasta, which sums up my attitude normally & is something I often said-LOL.

Bob Marley has a song named Kaya which also has the word Irie in it & I wanted the girls to have part of each name to be connected by song...then I researched Kaya more in depth since the song refers to pot & I didn't want a name that only had that meaning for my baby...found out in Japanese & Hopi there were translations referring to a "wise younger sister"...
DH loved Raine...a musician he loves is named Raine & a translation I found referred to a "singing queen" which sounded good to me

Runner up girl or boy names have been Dylan & Lennon...(for Bob & John)

[Arianwen1174]

My guys are Hayden Andrew and Isaac William.

Hayden is after Torey Hayden, my favorite author; Andrew is his dad's name. We waited to see him (not knowing gender) before we named him. Other names we had on the list when he was born were:
Cordley Isaiah (Cordley Hall is the building his daddy worked in at Oregon State)
Isaiah David
Cooper Flynn (Flynn, after what used to be Flynn Vineyards in the Willamette Valley)
Kenya Michelle
Caitryn Alynne
Shemona Breeanne

Isaac didn't have a name for about 8 hours. We couldn't decide on a boy's name and just hoped he'd be a girl. I wanted William but his daddy said no way. Isaac William fits him SO well! Isaac is after Isaac Asimov, his dad's favorite author, who had passed away a few months before our Isaac was born. Mostly I just really liked William but there is a family connection too.
Other names we considered for him:
Emerson Evander
Evander Essig (Essig is an entomologist, like the boys' dad)
Jackson Cole
Berkeley Essig
Zion William
Corinna Michelle
Helena Sierra Jade (Helena after ex's mother)
Linneah Michelle (after Carl Linnaeus, the botanist/"father" of modern taxonomy)
Caitryn Alynne
Laurel Michelle
Amara Jane
Caterina Michelle

It doesn't look like DH and I will be sharing parenthood but if we had a girl she would be Constance Allegra Kealyn. Constance is a name DH suggested before we were even married and Kealyn is after the friend who introduced us (Kealy). If we had a boy, he likely would be Cavan Alexei(?) Kealyn. Definitely would be a C name after Cory.

Sorry this got so long, it was a walk down memory lane for me. And now I wish so much we could have a baby!

[zebra15]

ds Joey.... Typical all american name... Sorry

[Smokering]

DD is Rowan Marie. Would have been Jesse if she'd been a boy, but I think I've gone off that now. It was problematic anyway, because I wanted to name (putative) him after my dad, but Jesse David is just too genealogical.

For future kiddies, I like Hazel (but DH doesn't), Katherine, Morris (again, DH doesn't), Luke, Leia (for a middle name), Charlotte (again, vetoed by DH)... and I just saw Lochlan upthread and kinda like that too. I bet DH won't, though. I sorta have this crazy obsession with finding the perfect Anglo-Saxon or Irish, classy but not obnoxiously metrosexual, arty but not trendy boy's name... and nope, I'm not pregnant with a boy, I just find boys' names hellishly hard compared to girls' and relish the challenge. I like Tristan pretty well, but guess who vetoed it?

Oh, and if we had a respectable dollop of French blood in our veins I'd totally name a son Jean-Luc. We don't, so I sadly dismissed the idea as pretentious. (And yes, I realise Marie is French too, but that's a fifth-generation handed-down family name, so!)

[beckyand3littlemonsters]

my lo's are Chloe Louise Caledonia W, Cameron Duncan Ethan W, Caitlin Elizabeth Heather W and Caden Ryan Ewan W.
I'm currently ttc and have already picked some names i like
girls
Eleonora Leila Lauretta F
Ebony Daisy Pandora F

boys
Fabian Kane Mercury F
Beau Denzil Elijah F

[gaudynight]

Mine are Annabel Rose, Juliet Isla, Natalie Johanna and Margaret Elisabeth. Baby due in August will probably be Theodore David or Lydia Charlotte, unless we change our minds.

I love, love, love Anneliese but we can't use it as it's so close to Annabel. And for boys I also love Daniel, Samuel and Alexander.

[smeisnotapirate]

We have a Tobias Benjamin (if he was a girl, he would have been Johanna) and a brand spankin' new Naomi Noa (who would have been Reuben or Nathaniel).

Our animals all have people names too - Clara, Vinny, Leon (we call him Bo), Babs, and Nadia. We also used to have a Mindy, a Cacilie, and a Bob.

[KaylaBeanie]

I dug out my old Nymbler list of names I like, so I can join in the party

Names I like, most favorite to least favorite, though I like them all.

Boys
Anthony
Oliver
Bodhi
Marek
Jude
Luca
Pierce


Girls
Elena
Serena
Gemma
Eisley
Harper
Juliet

Of course, that list is pretty worthless right now. Girl's middle name has to be Dian (family name), and of course it all has to go with future DH's last name. I just LOVE names. My sister writes dozens of stories a year, so we're always
hunting down and writing down names for her characters.

That's my name!

[treemom2]

DD's name is: Ilana Claire (if she had been a boy it would have been Andrew Jon)

DS's name is : Aiden Sky (if a girl it would have been Autumn or Luna)

My 3rd babe's name was: Naiya Mei (if a boy it would have been Taian Jacob--Tai for short. . .Taian in Japanese means "luckiest day")
