I have some names that I absoultely love but havent and wont be naming my kids them for various reasons. TOP FAVE: Olivia..... One of the most gorgeous names ever (in my opinion) Autumn (was Mercedes name for 5mins) What are your favourites that you may or may not be naming your children ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I love Seth for a boy, but Neil absolutely hates it, it's an old man's name apparently
And Alice for a girl, it's my grandmothers middle name (her first name is Florence and iot's growing on me) but Neil was sort of seeing someone called Alice when we got back together (  one and only time I have ever done anything like that) so we can't use that either------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

Boy will be Frederick Robert or Frederick Andries or Frederick Andrew.
Girl names is where the trouble is. I love Silvana Isabella Ariel Gabriella Miley Anabel Abigail. But dont think we will use any as hubby is not too fond of it yet. Think perhaps we should have a boy. Easier. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I love the name Grace, Maya would have been Grace except it was super common at the time and Willie used one of his few veto cards on it coz of Once Were Warriors. As soon as I came up with Maya (after Maya Angelou) I fell in love with it.
I also like for a girl, Shyla, Lily, Anais, Ava. For a boy I heart Luca, if this bub is a boy he will be Luca. I used to like Gabriel and Kane but friends have used both of them and I can't imagine using the same names since I know both of their boys quite well. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

The Gremlins:Sienna Marie & Mercedes Kailah (14/10/06)
Lil miss:Chiara Louise Chloe (09/07/08)

Oh Claudia's always been a favourite of mine. Rowan was going to be a Hannah but it's just way to popular now days.
I'm thinking Morgan for the next one if it's a girl. As usual I don't have a boy's name but DH is NOT getting his way with Aston Martin. -------------

Boys:
Issac, Rhys, Luke, Jaron(probably will use this next time)Travis, Cameron, Ezekial(our other fav even though its hard to spell)..and many many more girls: Emma, Georgia(girls name next time) Lucy..(harder for girls names as we were 100% on Georgia) many many boys names i like that DH doesn't such as Jacob, Quinn, etc! we are boring and like popular..due to the naming issues in my family( many many unusual names (such as Tiger)with bullying and teasing issues...we liked boring easy to spell names..though I have been asked many times how to spell Ethan:)! ------------- Mum to two amazing boys! |

| My wee baby newphew is Ezekial - we call him Zeke for short. its a cool name but people have soooo much trouble pronouncing and spelling it. One of my friends husband thought it was pronounced easy kill and couldnt under stand why anyone would name thier baby that! |

There ar e 3 Ezekial's at my kids school. Popular name down here so no one has trouble pronouncing it. Mine you my kids do go to a catholic school and it is a name from the bible, maybe another reason for it being popular here. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Oh I love Micah and Shiloh aswell. Shiloh was on my short list but hubbys cousin has a wee boy with that name.
Everyone always thinks are are saying Toby instead of Kobe or Maddison instead of Addison, drives me crazy. its funny at preschool cos kids always have trouble saying k's so call him Toby anyway |

Anna - a friend of mine has a little girl called Lily Jorja 
I like Carys and Caelyn for girls. I also love Kate, but don't like Katie (which I'm sure she'd get called). Ashlee was almost going to be Ashlee Kate but that reminded me of the Olsen twins far too much. Absolutely LOVE Juliette but hate hate HATE Jules or Julie. Boys, I like Cody, Ryan and Dylan. But for various reasons, probably won't use any of the above! Maybe we should get some pets so we can actually use some of those names haha! |
