Kids names?

[guld]

I've always thought of very odd names for children.

I might name a boy Sly or a girl Nike.

But I'll deal with this when/if it happens. [/font]

Haha noo - you can't name a kid Sly! Can you? Doesn't it mean something not so positive ringing?

Our neighbour's kid is named Nike. Really uncommon here. But I like it mucho

Nike is the Greek goddess of victory. That's why I like it.

I don't think it's that common here either.

Aren't there places where some names are actually illegal? A New Zealand couple wanted to call twins "fish & chips" but I think were stopped. Now thats cruel.

I always remember in the paper here a vicar wouldn't christen a girl Pagan...I think it's quite a pretty name though.

Exactly - some very nice associations there

Ok, as I remembered it then. Perhaps Sly could be great, though - one of those names you grow to like a lot, once you're used to it. The only boy name I feel anything for is - duh duh duh! - George. Couldn't tell why! And, ok, one more - Mats, traditional Swedish name. Still no clues why. Could be the combination of it being a really usual name, and me knowing no one in my age group with it.

I know Garbage (though naturally in Swedish in the real case) was a stopped proposition some year. Hm...

Naming a kid? never thought about it

I do think about naming a dog though, does this count?

I never thought of that for a girl's name. I do really like it though.


Check out Freakonomics. There's a part about how naming a kid could effect a child and it's hilarious. It's all US based but still interesting.

I think about a name for every kind of pet I see...





Rocks and spiders now too.

If Lloyd's ever give me a free black horse I'm calling him Barry!

That's thorough

I forgot Fayette! (Faye for short) for a girl.

I've always liked that name ever since seeing it. Means little fairy apparently



And... Barry?

Should I ask?

Faye's a really nice name

Well can you think of a better name for a free black horse...no? well Barry it is then!!

I know a girl named Citlali. Thought about giving my daughter Xochitl for a middle name. (went with Diana instead).
They're both Aztec names.

My son's names are Lennon and Max. Max very nearly got named Logan. I always loved the name Francis for a boy but my parnter hates it.

Girls names I like are Aurora, Tabatha, Alice and Katherine.

 

[fightclub]

Where did you get ideas for names from I looked at dvd covers for actors names as they always have good names

 

[Bread]

'Your not my son!' and 'I don't care what your mother says, I am not your dad, missy!'

 

[DreamerDeceiver]

What about Jasko, for a son.

My brother is suddenly wanting to name his kid Lockwood. Lol.

 

[Locke]

My brother is suddenly wanting to name his kid Lockewood. Lol.

He should! It's one of the best names ever!

My son is named Nigel, after the English band XTC's song "Making Plans for Nigel" - loved that song since...well...let's just say a while, lol. We had a shortlist of other names too - Finn, Phineas, Gabriel (hubby's choice, not mine), Solomon and believe it or not, Copernicus...haha, not sure how you shorten that one - Pernie? Cooper?

If we'd had a girl, the list was Kate, Luna or Lily...Kate after Kate Bush, Luna because I love the moon, and Lily because my dad always used to call me his waterlily and it reminds me of him.
