Since I have names on the mind, and will most likely be making a similar
post here real soon, I'm happy to play: Unadulterated Me wrote: Adelaide, Arabella, Georgette, I like all three of these, especially Arabella. Freya, Too Nordic for my taste Fleur, Pretty, but might become really popular really soon with the Harry Potter fan-crowd. I prefer Flora, which is on our short list as well. Jemima, Pancake syrup Lucinda, A lovely name Lucianna, Matilda, Poppy, Saffron, Tamasin (not Tamsin), Tansy, Willow I like Tansy OK but not the others. Poppy sounds like a cat name. Saffron sounds like you're trying too hard to be 'exotic' IMO. Willow is pretty but "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" ruined it for me. And would it be too cheesy to give a baby girl born in May 'May' as a second name? No, because it makes sense. Better than one baby name I saw in the paper last spring, a little girl born in March with the middle name DeCember. I don't get it. She wasn't born in December, she wasn't conceived in December... Girls names we already have are... Tessa Hannah I don't like that the names both end with the same "ah" sound, but otherwise very nice! One of my co-workers has a Tessa who is a delightful child. Hers is Tessa Nicole. I'd prefer Tessa or Hannah with one of your other choices, like Tessa Elisabeth or Hanna Kate. Paige Breanna Grace Madeline Rose Isabella Amelia Kate Lydia Elisabeth Andrea no middle name I like all those also. Am I just no help or what? -Rebecca Due Dec. 2 and also playing the name game these days |

Freya doesn't seem to fit with the rest of your names to me. It doesn't? Poop, I liked that one lol I like Georgia better than Georgette (which is a kind of fabric, though I confess Georgette Heyer novels are a guilty pleasure ;-) Yeah Georgette is a fabric g but Georgia is my nieces name, and also far far to common here, although very pretty. Have you considered Rowan? I do like Rowan, and Arwyn, and Moira and all those LOTR variants but Rowan and Rohan are a little too male sounding. And Tessa's favourite book is Rowan of Rin by Emily Rodda so it feels a bit weird. Thanks for your help :-) Andrea |

Adelaide That one sounds really good with your other girl names IMO. I really like this one (probably one of my top choices) but my ever smart arse husband says we may as well call her Auckland. I tried to explain Adelaide the Australian city was named after Queen Adelaide and it was a very old German and English name, but what can I say he's an idiot. , Arabella, I love that one myself. Me too, my only problem with this is the rhyme I use with the kids at Playcentre Little Arabella Miller had a fuzzy caterpillar First it crawled upon her mother then upon her baby brother...and so on to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little star lol Jemima has a pancake syrup connotation in the States. :-) It is? it will go well with my boy choice then which is Oscar...sausages and pancake syrup mmmmm Thanks for your help Leslie :-) Andrea |

Yeah but there was no Witch in the story, Matilda had special powers, and the Trunchbowl was witch like, but it wasn't actually a witch story. But Dahl did write Witches so it would be easy to make the connection mentally. I was thinking someone would make the waltzing Matilda connection first before the Dahl one though lol Andrea |

Can I have some feedback on these names, any make your stomach turn, any you adore that sort of thing....connotations to them, no need to feed back on every name just the ones you have strong thoughts on. Trying to come up with some sort of short list for contemplation, not having much luck. Adelaide, Is where I live I guess there aren't many children called Adelaide where you are then lol. I wonder how many Sydney's like in Sydney. Thanks Leanne :-) Andrea |

Poppy, Saffron, These last two are getting really popular at the moment due to certain UK television shows/personalities. I know Saffy's from Ab Fab but what's Poppy from? I like Tansy the best. I like it too, the name killer of the family says she'll be called Tansy the Pansy eye roll Willow is not just the name of a _Buffy the Vampire Slayer_ character, it's also the name of Will Smith's daughter. I had heard that, I never watched it myself so I wouldn't really care, my inspiration was the film with Val Kilmer. and Will smiths other child with Jada is Jayden (or was it Jaden) who I've also got one of lol There is some completely useless random trivia inside my head lol Thanks Cheryl.

Oh, I guess that means you're still using Oscar for a potential boy? Yes, Oscar or Jack so far for the boy. Andrea |

I really like Poppy and Arabella is nice. Don't much care for Jemima or Saffron. Thanks Rebecca, the only thing about Poppy is we call the wee kids poppet as an affection term, so it could get a little confusing and tongue tiedish at times. Andrea |

I like: Adelaide, Georgette (but I'd choose Georgia instead), I have a niece called Georgia so I couldn't really use it, Jemima reminds me of syrup ;-) But Jemma would be a possibility. I like Jemima it kind of has an aristocratic English feel to me, like Harriet, Henrietta or Prudence. And then there's the gorgeous Jemima Kahn, and lovely as she is, I wouldn't want people thinking I named my sprog after her. Matilda is very pretty. I like Matilda, I like Tilda too, it has a very strong, powerful feel. Tilda Swinton the scottish actress is playing the White Witch in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe...see Cheryl isn't the only one with useless fluff for brains g Thanks Nan :-) Andrea |
