I have a 9yo dd named Raine.She's the light of my life.Tell you husband that rain is not depressing, its lifegiving.

I really wanted to name this baby Malena.  But then I found out that the guy from American Idol/Rock of Ages just named his daughter that.  So now I can't do it because I fear people will think I copied him, and/or the name will become very popular soon.

I think it sounds pretty and very feminine

I still wish we could have named DS, Baden (Bay-din). DH really doesn't like it

[rio grande]

Chose Melanie - sounds a like. Regarding Malena - you are right - my friend just sent me birth announcement via iPhone - she named her daughter Malena.

btw, use stork.cc app - birth announcement - when select a name and want to share it with relatives and friends.

I think those are beautiful. DH isn't into nature names, but I wanted to name our son Cedar Wren.

And also MAlena is very similar to MElena which is a particularly foul-smelling poo containing old blood. Although maybe that is only a problem if you know lots of health care workers.

I really wanted to name my son Ryder...but my hubby said nooo waay! lol  We ended up naming him Ethan, but I still love that name, I think if I ever have another boy I'm going to name him Ryder.

I almost forgot! My husband and I both really love the name Linea from Stargate (the destroyer of worlds) but it looks weird written down. So, it's a no go. lol

Linnea maybe?

(That was another one on my list for my youngest, but chose against it for a few reasons)

I was due on Valentine's day and my parents toyed with the idea of naming me:  Valerie Valentine  (maiden name that started with a V!)  Triple V it would have been!

[tjlucca]

So many great names!!! Thanks ladies! 

[amethyst1111]

i would love to use Zeddicus from Legend of the Seeker for a boy's middle name maybe....

violet, eden, willow, ruby, jade, all vetoed by DH as too hippy

[Lula's Mom]

I didn't think I had one to add, but last night DH and I were watching that new HBO show "Game of Thrones" and there is a character named Cersei.  DH said "That! I like that! Put it on the list!"  We are expecting, and this is the *only* name he has shown more than a mild interest in on his own.  I come up with suggestions, and he either says he doesn't like it, or "It's all right. Put it on the list."

So great! Except that from what I can Google, it seems to be entirely made up.  I think I am too chicken to use something that's not a "real name."

[minkajane]

It's probably a different spelling for Circe - she was the Greek Goddess of magic.

[Lula's Mom]

Ooh, maybe! And I like it!

DH says he thought "Circus" when he saw it.

[tiffani]

I love the name Circe...I have a friend of a friend with that name and always liked it, but dh didn't like it... I have in the past liked Nedra for a girl too, but he also nixed that one...Hazel is a favorite... our last name is crazy, so first names need to be relatively simple...

[KaylaBeanie]

I'm loving the name Pippa right now...but apparently it's short for Phillipa, which I abhor. I also like the name Jecca. Yes, I fully admit that I just watched William and Kate on Lifetime 

In my defense, "A Great and Terrible Beauty" and it's sequels by Libba Bray were my FAVORITES in high school and I always loved Pippa and Gemma in it.
