I know...When I worked in the south we had a Mom on our unit whose baby was in nicu.She named her kid...Ghana- Rhea i kid you not

Oh I know that you aren't kidding. I used to volunteer at a hospital and I personally know twins named Queen and Supreme...and Supreme was a boy!

And my absolute favorite...Nosmo King....think of the sign in a hospital (No Smoking)

Too funny!!

I didn't read through all the names-sorry if I repeat.
My oldest Daughter is Marissa my younger daughter is Evette and we call Evie. Another mom I know ended up naming her daughter Evie (which can also be short for Evelyn)

I also like the names Ella and Amaree

Names grow on you when they are attached to a child you love.

That's so true. Also, a person's personality really has an impact on how well their name is liked. For instance, someone may have a name you love, but the name is ruined for you because of their negative personality traits and actions.

Then on the other hand, someone may have a name you wouldn't normally like, but you think so highly of them that you wind up loving the name too.

Like Shakespeare said..."What's in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet..."

Isn't that so true that an ugly person can ruin a perfectly beautiful name! And in the reverse, a name you don't like can really grow on you if you love someone with it! My mom named my much younger sister Aidan back in the early 80s when the only Aidan I ever heard of was the actor Aidan Quinn. I (a teenager) complained and said, "Ew, that's a BOY's name"! Of course now there ARE about a billion boys named Aidan, but DSis is still the only girl I know with that name. She is a beautiful, precious girl, and so now I love it as a very sweet, feminine name. My mom went with the Irish thing...Shannon, Kelly, and Aidan. Really, any of those can be used as boy names!

[carrie1626]

Jordan Nicole
or Jordan Noelle ( Christmas)

I'm still wishing sometimes my beautiful DD now 20 had one of those names!! Couldn't talk hubby into it!!
Her B-day is 12/31. so had her birthday been day of or right after Christmas, that's why Noelle was there

 

[naomi78155]

Congratulations! We had the hardest time picking dd name. DS wanted to name her Elizabeth, so we let him choose her middle name. Her first name is Claire.

Very different and not really a name, but I have always loved :

Paisley (Jane for the middle name)

Other:
Avery
Ainsley

 

[gatormommy07]

I always wanted a little Annie or Anna. I'd love a little Katie.
DH and I both like Samantha.
I love Bayleigh

DH's grandmother was named Emma, he really really wants that for a girl if we are ever blessed with one. I told him it's too popular so we may go with Emery or Emme.

My name is Annie!!!

 

[gatormommy07]

We have a Sadie Ophelia, she was going to be Sadie Sophia, but at the last minute we changed the middle name, if we ever have another girl she will be Eleanor Carolina, I really want her, one day!! I want to call out Sadie, Donovan, Eli, Ella!!! In fact if Eli had been a girl that would have been his name!

When I was younger, I wanted to name a girl MacKenzie Elizabeth, but I got talked out of it by my dear darling husband!

 

[peigirl]

I have a Lalia Hope and an Emma Taylor. They go by Hope and Taylor

Paula

I have 2 grandkids and 2 on the way and I jut cant convince either of my girls to name their girls after their old dad. They think Dougalina is a silly name. So if anyone is lokking for a great girls name, Dougalina is still out there to use.

 

[brenalexacamp]

16 years ago we named our daughter Alexa-no middle name- I don't have one- some people would say "what? no middle name?" I say" Nope just one! Like Oprah and Cher!" lol

 

[badblackpug]

A good website is www.behandthename.com

This site gives you lots of different search criteria. I am not a fan of trendy or made up names. Back to the "Jennifer" thing. Growing up I had a total graduating class of 100. 12 of the 100 were named Jennifer! I wouldn't want my child to go through life being known as Jennifer {first letter of last name} Or whatever name is popular followed by a last initial. Around here the most popular girls names are:

Emma
Ava
Madison
Sophia
Riley

 

[emmababy]

Thanks everyone!!! We have one name picked out that isn't on here and maybe I will choose it!! I am going to keep it private for now. I love so many of the popular names but just can't bring myself to do it!! Emma will probly hate me that her name is sooo common!!

I told my husband this, Douglas, and he now tellls me it is the top of his list for new baby........

I told him, he isn't the father so no point naming it after him...
