[MiniMandaRuth]

I love Olivia because it's mine, but I also love Elizabeth, Mariska, Bethany, and Rebecca.

What about you?

[Taverner]

1. Willow Jane

cuz that's my soon-to-be born daughter's name!

[MiniMandaRuth]

2. Willow is beautiful.

And Jane is classic.

Beautiful name, good choices!

[Radio_Lady]

30. Not ready for breaking news: Gwyneth Paltrow is P.G. again!

The first thought I had after hearing that is that her little daughter APPLE -- might have a sibling named -- ORANGE.

So when they have their sibling fights, it would be like comparing APPLES to ORANGES.

ORANGE you glad your mother didn't name you APPLE?

[Radio_Lady]

32. Emily is my favorite. I've loved that name since I saw the movie

"The Americanization of Emily" years ago.

[Bucky]

76. "Now Apple, your sister just likes teasing you. Don't be so thin skinned!"

"Now be a dear and go and change li'l Pumpkin's diapers"

[eeyore]

9. Labia

:shrug:
What?

[Radio_Lady]

34. How about Labia Vagina? And she might be an OB-GYN doctor, too

[Trigger Hippie]

79. Charlotte's my favorite too.

:)

[BlueIris]

7. It used to be Harriet.

The shine is off that one now, though, for obvious reasons.

Lessee, it's been hard for me to choose one single name for a female child that is my "favorite." Here are the top five:

Judith Allison
Antonia
Felicia
Anastasia
Violet (good job Jen and Ben!)

[WCGreen]

10. Jevida.....

I just like that name....

Solid, easy and very strong....

[evlbstrd]

11. Shannon.

It's a river, an airport and my daughter.

[In_The_Wind]

12. Morgan

[Sugar Smack]

16. Oh, I think "Madison" is pretty, too.

:)

[In_The_Wind]

17. Hi Sugar!

How are you tonight?

[Sugar Smack]

18. Pretty good despite the day!

I wound about a thousand little Xmas lights around everything & it's looking festive in here!

How are you?

[In_The_Wind]

24. Wow, you were busy.

I stacked some wood, fixed a pork crockpot supper and had my nails done.
Nothing special just trying to catch up on a few things before my next road trip.

[Sugar Smack]

13. Alex

and also-

Ruby, Edie, Zoe, Lulu, Catherine, and Courtney!

[chknltl]

15. Violet

An actor/actress couple just had a daughter, they named her Violet. My first thoughts when I heard this on a newscast today, "What a beautiful name for a young lady."

on edit: BlueIris made note of this earlier with, 'Violet, good job Jen and Ben' (Not sure which famous couple they are but I love that name!)

[Kali]

56. My niece is Amethyst, another pretty purple name..

[ScreamingMeemie]

98. My three and a half year old niece's name is Violet.

:hi:

[miss_american_pie]

19. Isabelle Grace

[AtomicKitten]

[Floogeldy]

25. Chi Chi

;)

[LiberalEsto]

or maybe Purina

[Floogeldy]

29. *snicker*

:)

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

27. You've already had mine -- Bethany -- although I prefer it as Beth

[mwooldri]

28. Susie. Don't ask me why. But I just like it.

Bobbie's good too - besides I am married to her. Susie was my alter ego when I was in a role-playing game - I played the other gender in a medieval online roleplaying game.

If I were female, I would like to be called Susie.

[AlCzervik]

31. Anastasia

thats my daughters name.

[WindRavenX]

33. Aerith, Norah

I love how those names sound :)

[Radio_Lady]

36. Sound great :) -- but hard to spell :(

I wanted to name my daughter Dina Suzanne. But we didn't want it to sound like DIE-nah, as in Dinah Shore. We didn't want to spell it DEENA, either.

We compromised by naming her Linda Michelle.... but Nora might have been nice, too.

[sendero]

35. I believe..

... that your name, the one you go by, describes you.

Women named Elizabeth or Beth are always a good bet, they are smart and unconventional :)

[elfrangel]

40. For our future daughter...

Ainsley Elizabeth

Elizabeth is a family name on my side

Ainsley came from a character in the West Wing. Yeah I know she was a repub, but still like the name.

[last_texas_dem]

41. Michelle is probably #1

Common as it is, I still just think it's a pretty name. My other favorites are Natalie, Leora, and Hermione.

[njdemocrat106]

43. I've always liked those Irish-sounding names...

like Kathleen, Maureen, and Eileen (or Aileen). Funny thing is, I hate my own very Irish-sounding first name.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

72. How's Siobhan or Saoirse, for Irish??

:P :P :P Crazy, I know.

[mcscajun]

126. One of those is mine, one is my sister's, and one is a friend's.

So -- I Like 'em All.

Didn't care much for mine growing up. Wouldn't change it for anything now.

My favorites though are Megan, Briana, Elise, Brigid, and Camille.

[Omphaloskepsis]

45. Zoe...

I have had about ten girlfriends in my entire life.. Three of them were named Zoe.. I find that really strange.

[fight4my3sons]

75. I love that name!

I have three boys and that is it for me. Zoe was at the top of my list for girl names.
I also like Chloe. When I found out I was going to have twins, my my sister actually asked if I would name them Zoe and Chloe. NO!!! (I'm not one for the rhyming twin name thing).
I like Phoebe too.

[MaggieSwanson]

46. Ruby

...and Izzabel. The names I gave my daughter.

[Tikki]

49. Yes, Ruby.....

....my oldest child was going to be Ruby Ruth...if he'd been....you know..a girl.


Tikki

[lady raven]

47. LOL

I love all those names too. And one of them is also mine. Hehe.

[GrumpyGreg]

48. Maeve !!!!

[BamaGirl]

50. Emma and Katie

My girls of course...Emma Rose and Katie Anne. I have a cousin who named her daughter Leila Belle. I love that. I'm a Belle. We have a lot of Belle's in the family, and generally I'm not thrilled with it, but Leila Belle just rolls off the tongue so nicely lol. I was all ready to name my third Molly Jane, but she ended up a he. :P

[nemo137]

51. Alice

It's so pretty. My sister also got the best end of the name stick in my family. She's Celia. I'm boring old Matt.

[AtomicKitten]

65. That's my daughter's name.

[nemo137]

85. It's a beautiful name (and proof that they love her more).

How often to people mess up and call her Cecelia or Cicelia or something ridiculous like that?

Or did you mean Alice (which is still a pretty name, but not messed up as much)?

[AtomicKitten]

92. Alice.

Classic.

[nemo137]

109. :;blushes:: sorry.

[bertha katzenengel]

108. My MIL's name is Alice

:loveya:

[drhilarius]

52. I've always liked Xaipe...

(zai-pay). e.e. cummings liked it, so it can't be that bad.

[JVS]

53. Faith, Hope, Charity, Prudence.

[Xipe Totec]

94. Temperance, Fortitude, Prudence, Justice

Might as well get all four cardinal virtues.

[bliss_eternal]

54. I'm going to be the odd ball here--

I like what society construes as 'boy's names' for girls. If I had a a daughter, I would name her Michael, Ryan, Christopher, Alex or something like that.

I've always liked boy's names for girls. I'm weird, I know it.

One day I heard Michael Lerned say her mother named her Michael so that no one could ever discriminate against her based on her sex if they saw her name on paper (like a resume). Ever since that day, I felt kind of validated for wanting to name a daughter that way. No one could ever get her resume and turn her down because they think she's a girl! Getting her foot in the door is the first step--that's half the battle, right?

[Xipe Totec]

95. I had a boss name Rae

She shocked a lot of people when meeting her for the first time, expecting a male.

She loved doing that.

[trackfan]

55. Melissa

[CaliforniaPeggy]

57. For girls, I like Jeannie and Sarah....my daughters' names.....

For the boy we didn't have but my brother did...Andrew Duncan....

[RFKHumphreyObama]

59. Carolyn, Virginia, Mary Alice, Mary Anne, Patricia, Karen, Lucy

Charlotte, Andrea and Marianne

[MiniMandaRuth]

60. I have an all black cat named Lucy, a piano teacher (Who's really cool)

named Karen, and a friend named Andrea.

Good choices.

[HEyHEY]

61. Bijossa, Lucy, Maria, Olivia

[MiniMandaRuth]

62. Lucy, Maria, and especially Olivia are beautiful names...

But... Bljossa? How do you say that? What language is it? Is it... Welsh? Or... Some kind of South American language?

[borlis]

63. I also love the name Olivia and since I have 3 boys,

I named my female cat Olivia. I also like Lauren and Stephanie.

[MiniMandaRuth]

64. I like Lauren, and I also like Laura and Lara.

[Oeditpus Rex]

66. When I learned how to pronounce it

I fell madly in love with Siobhan.

It wasn't quite as mellifluous when I thought it rhymed with "slob can."

[BlackVelvet04]

71. How do you pronounce it? I've always wondered. n/t

[WritingIsMyReligion]

74. It's "sho-VAWN," I believe.

The "i-o" is like "ho," and "bh" is often "v" in Irish.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

73. OMFG, yes!

That's my second-favorite Irish name, after "Saoirse."

:P :P :D :D :D

[NMMNG]

67. Ophelia, Kiera, Kira

I've loved Ophelia since reading King Lear in high school.

[Skittles]

68. Susan

I've always liked my name; it is pretty

[SW FL Dem]

103. Yep - It's Hebrew for Lily

There used to be lots of us. Growing up, there was always another Susan in the class. Now the only Susans I meet are close to me in age.

[Lumily]

69. Emily and Lucy.

Emily is my daughter's name. Lucy was our first Bernese Mountain Dogs name. Put them together Lu + mily = Lumily. :)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

70. Rhiannon. Elizabeth. Siobhan. Saoirse.

The first is Welsh ("great queen" and also the name of the fertility goddess), and the last two, Irish ("Jeanne" and "freedom," respectively.) Siobhan is pronounced "sho-VAWN," and Saoirse, either "SEER-sha" or "SAYR-sha." Yeah, I'm into weird stuff. :P :P

[Bucky]

77. Why is "Madison" a girl's name but "Von Stueben" isn't?

Seems unfair to me. If I have another daughter, I'm naming her Von Stueben

[Lex]

89. There's something like 7 Madisons in my niece Madison's class. nt

[Burma Jones]

78. Annabel

So that's what we named our Daughter......

[Trigger Hippie]

80. I think Adrienne is a beautiful name.

:)

[cfield]

81. Gabrielle

is my favorite, I can't wait to use it as a middle name. I also like Kinsley or Kinsey, and Kaylee, and Kaia. Jaslyn or Jaden are nice, too.

RL

[djeseru]

87. Brunhilda Shagnasty.

The last time my mom and I had a good laugh was when I asked her if she ever had to change her name, what would it be...? I was eleven at the time and thought it the most brilliant answer ever...

[Lex]

88. Chloe.

[zanne]

90. Just put "President" before it.

I think that unless it sounds good with "President" For examle, "President Tiffany" is horrible, but President "Elizabeth" sounds genuine.

[benny05]

91. Hard to choose, but here are a few I like..with variant spellings

Abigail (Abby for nickname)
Ann, Anne, or Ayn
Brandice or Brandace (Brandy)

[SoCalDem]

101. Laura, Susan, Diane, Katharine

[salin]

102. Silvi, Randi (pronounced Rondi), Greta, (all norwegian names)

I have a rather unusual Norwegian name and enjoy both that the names are not usual (folks remember them, once they finally remember the names), they are tied to my heritage, and they are rather pretty in their English translations.

[Dances with Cats]

106. Ashleigh

[RevCheesehead]

111. Elizabeth (my middle name)

[catchnrelease]

114. Like the Irish names too

Was trying to influence my daughter, Sara, to give the granddaughter the Irish name Grainne (pronounced Grawn-yuh), but she went with a Welsh one instead--Guinevere. We call her Guinny so far. I feel for her when she has to learn to write her name!! It does fit tho' as at 2 years old she seems to think she's the queen of everything, lol.

[vajraroshana]

115. Emily, Sophia....

I love the name Elizabeth as well. And, well, there really is something about Mary.

Trying to think....there's so many others that are beautiful....

Charlotte, Vera, Chloe, Melissa....

oh, I know I have a lot of other favorites, but I'm distracted right now and can't think....

Are you thinking of a name for a child?

will be my daughter's name!

[RubyDuby in GA]

132. Are you kidding me????

If it's a girl that I'm having, she's going to be named Ava Isabella.

You're too cool for school. I wished we lived closer, it'd be awesome to have you in my town!

[Shell Beau]

133. OMG!! And it's not like they are both THAT common!

Awesome! I guess us southern gals have good taste!!! :7

[RubyDuby in GA]

134. I know! I love them because they just seem to flow

I hate names that don't sound good together.

My dad calls me his sebbah (weird mixture of Sarah and Elizabeth - my name) and Mr. Rubyduby and I have thought of calling her Avabelle as a pet name.

[Shell Beau]

135. Me too! I've thought of calling her Avabelle!!

Wow! That is really cool! Our daughters will be sooo cute! :)

[RubyDuby in GA]

136. Well it might be for you alone

I have 7 more weeks until I find out what we're having.
But if it is a girl, they'll be so precious we won't be able to stand it. My mother is already buying baby clothes and called me the other day from the toy department of a store. Seriously - she's nuts.

[Shell Beau]

137. Awwww, congrats!

:bounce: We are working on it! I just know I'll have all boys since I am dying to have a girl!! Congratulations!!!
