Baby Names!!!!!!!!!!!

[peregrine]

my best friend (in the whole wide world) told me that she is pregnant! its a girl, due may 5th. her first child. she's got the whole single, teenage mom thing goin on. so i'm like gonna be it's female dad. anyway, we need a name! we cant think of anything. well, i can think of a million names but she doesn't like any of my ideas! my friend wants something different, but not too different. she likes tom boy names...boy names for girls...

we'd really appreciate any suggestions. feel free to suggest...please suggest... :D

Harris, Dale, Riley, Charlie, Regan, Cody, Ryan, Micah, Warner(wanted that for our baby's middle name, but we had another boy.), Moe. I don't know, I liked girlie names, when I thought we were having a girl. Autumn Grace, Autumn Riley, Autumn Warner (I know, WAY too many Autumns these days), Gertrude Riley, I can't really be of help, as my list of girlie names goes on and on.
When we found out that we had a boy(at birth), I wanted Oslo. But we have Thor. Named for the God of Thunder in Norse Mythology, it suits him QUITE well. God of Thunder, indeed. My husband is Norwegian, can you tell? ;)

[LIBRA]

Ameilia jane, Emma jane, Milly, just a few but they are my fav's :)

[BandAide]

I'm pregnant too!

We're naming our daughter (cause I just sorta know it's a girl) Polly Jean. Our other daughter is named Bunny.

I also like Ginger and Phoebe for girl names and Cooper and Graham for boy names.

[PEACE FROG]

I really love the name Molly.

[peregrine]

thanks guys!

Bandaid, congrats! when is your little one due???? and i LOVE the name bunny, but my friend would think it was too girlie. :(

Peace frog...i love molly too. but i already tried that one....it was a no go.

ok, keep throwing 'em out there people!

[orchid]

Some of my favorite girl names are Pearl, Lily, Ivy, Alice (although I could never name my own child Alice, as the last name would be Cooper :eek: ).

[Pedata]

Congratulations, Bandaid !!! :):):)

Names- Astrid, Cassandra, Daisy, Poppy, Madison, Hunter, Nyssa, Blue, Winter, Yerba.

Peace,
Pedata

[delta9]

I'm a fan of less common names...

Diedre, Fiona, and so on... :)

[LIBRA]

I know you said she doesnt like girlie names but most flowers have the nicest names. orchid, jasmine,lilac, violet, poppy?? just a thought even the names of some trees maybe there more manly, how bout bonsai !!!! just kiddin!

[BandAide]

I hadn't given any thought to the name Poppy, but I've seen it here a few times and I really like it. Ah, food for thought! We decided on Polly, but I'll have to run Poppy by Jay and see what he thinks.

Peregrine, I'm not due until August 30th. I thought I was due a little sooner, but I had an ultrasound this week and I'm only eight weeks pregnant. I've got a loooooong road ahead of me. Because this is my second pregnancy, I can already tell. My lower belly is sticking out the itsiest bitsiest bit. They say you show a lot sooner the second time.

[Sunnydaydreams]

Here are my favorites: Brian Christopher for a boy, and Emma Sunshine for a girl. Other names: Brandon, Clay, Ash, John, Mikey, Norris and Xavier for boys and Shani, Shari, Sunny, Celeste, Corrine, and Phoebe.

congrats Bandaid! It's great to hear you're due one day before my b-day- your child & I might share birthdays! Good luck w/ your pregnancy!

Peace & Love
Kim

Not a name suggestion...but your friend might want to check out www.girlmom.com it's a wonderful sight written for and by teen moms.

[ladywithafan]

I like the names Aidan, Austin, Justin, or Kyle for a boy, and Hope, Madison, Chloe, and Heather for a girl.

One of my high school boyfriends was named Brian Christopher. He's gross now. Thank Gods I didn't marry him! :eek:

[moonjava]

forest, coyote, hendrix...marley, shane? rad. don't know... my name's not really moonjava but yeah i like it so much i think it'd name my kid that if i have a girl sometime. also indica indigo laurel blahblah i may think of more.
peace!

[mountain_mama]

I just had a little boy who we named Keagen (it means fiery) but we had Maize Hope or Fairlight James as our top two girl names.
Good luck to you and your friend. My first child is now 10 years old. I had her as a teen (16) and it was a long hard journey but one I don't regret in an instant. We named her Leticia meaning happiness and she has lived up to her name 100% :)

[LIBRA]

ok so maybe tree names arent the way to go, it was just a thought!!!
Laurel is nice isnt that a tree or bush?? heeheee :D

[delta9]

How about tree (marijuana) names... Many are even less applicable, but some are actually pretty nice.

Let's see, aside from obvious no-no's like catpiss and dogshit or chem and afghooey, there's plenty with good interesting names that might also be applicable to a person. Below, a collection of marijuana strain names that might also make good girl names (and they are all very lovely ladies, these buds). Bolded is the relevent portion of the strain name if there are extra parts

akala (hawaiian, I have no idea what it means but it sounds sexy)
cindy99 (cinderalla 99) (there really aren't enough girls named cinderella these days)
black domina
coral reef
jack candy
livity
netty
princess bob (heehee)
shiva shanti
trinity (I have a sister with this name)
:)

[LIBRA]

i HAD A DOG NAMED RESIN ONCE!!!

[lmatti6]

Look to other ethniticities.
What will the babys roots be? Like the father and mother have what in their blood?
Where was she concieved?
With what intentions or emotions involved?
What hope may the child carry?

Just as i was raised on the premise that one should not live with their partner before marriage, why should the child have a name before you see and touch them? Words, names are important- in some way i think we become it and the title becomes us.

But i really think the roots part is important to who we are.
History often helps in self understanding.

My cousing went to high school w/ a girl named Mystery, I always thought that was pretty. My youngest's middle name is Rain. I also like Cypress, Paisley, Aurora, Star and Stormy.

[tooter_mcgee]

when i have children, and i hope to one day, i want to name a girl Zara, means princess. i think the name sounds beautiful, and any daughter of mine would be my little princess.

[beadiebeauty]

my friend michelle , she wants to call her baby Foladh - old irish for Ireland
its such a beautiful name :)
i wanna call mine Joss :)

[eliveg]

when i have a child some day if its a boy eaither station or revalation and if girl then either prosperity sun or krystal indica

[RockyJay]

i wanna call mine Joss :)

And if your child visits my country and someone calls her, people will think her name is "God" or "juice". :D

I don't want to pick names for my future children. I don't know if I want to have children in the future yet.

[Lorilou]

hmm, working in a daycare ive heard plenty of names, my all time favorite was Isabella Blue Star, never mind the name the little girl was hilarious and cute too. other names were Jada;girl, Chance;boy, Ayla;girl, Adella;girl
aww, i miss working with the kids... :o

[BandAide]

We're still in the process of choosing.

We're pretty settled on Jones for a boy with his middle name being Buckley and his last name being Holler. Jones Buckley

For girls we're thinking about Chase, Charlie or Abbigail.

Idunno...

My also-pregnant friend's last name is Pinkerton and she's naming her daughter Daisy. How cute is that? Daisey Pinkerton. I love it!
