I can't think of any other boys names, maybe Fred

for a girl I wanted Olivia, but then everyone called their kid that in the last 5 years so I'm sick of it.
not sure if I will still go with Shamila now, I've had that up my sleeve for the last 2 kids.

If it was a boy: Jefferson, Oscar, Leighton.

If it was a girl: Summer, India, Monique.

Saffron and Rhiannon are lovely, makes me think of the 60s and of flowers.

I've always liked Gabriel for a boy's name too.

But I disagree that Gloria, Olivia and Victoria are dated, or at least too dated to use. I think they're beautiful and timeless. Magnus and Ignatius are definitely not common these days, but they are strong male names. I like them.

I tend to like unusual names too. For girls I like the names Cassandra and Annastesia (yes, like the Prince song! ). I mentioned that in the chatroom once, and someone said, "Why would you name your kid that, it's too long?" Simple, I would just call her Anna for short .

For boys I like the names Travis and Tyler.

There are some unusual but nice names out there now, unlike when I was little, and everyone had the usual names that everyone else was naming their kids.

Moonwalkbjrain said:

that's a nice spelling

i was watching this jamaican movie with my family starring Bob Marley's son Ky-Mani, and i thought he had a beautiful name...

and it can be given to boy or girl...

i have middle names for two girls but no idea what first names to pair them with
they are two of my great grandmother's names
and damn it i just can't think of what would be a good complement to them

and no names for boys

I'm obsessed with baby names. I'm single and have no plans for kids anytime in the near future, but I have at least 15 baby naming books. I scan the announcements in papers and online in the search for new and unusual names, and to keep up with what's currently popular. I watch those birth shows on the women's channels just so I can find out what the kid was called. Sometimes if I don't like the name, I think, "Nine months and that's the best they could do?" I'm a dork.

Some of my faves, and yes I would actually bestow (or inflict ) these on a child: (warning, there's a lot!)

great minds think alike...

SammiJ said:

ohh soo thats how u pronounce his name! i seen it online somewhere and thought it was prnounced kai-mani, lol

I like Louise and Jade, pronounced differently though than in English. Jade is way too popular though. I like Isaura too, that's a Portuguese name.

For boys I have a thing for Scandinavian names.

But I try not to think about this topic too much. It frustrates the hell out of me. I should aim at a stable relationship first.

If it's a girl I will call it Sarah. It's my favourite girls name.
