Just brainstorming names :-)

[bananakins]

I don’t know if this is appropriate to post, since I am nowhere near expecting a baby, and I am new to Nameberry…

I just became an aunt again and had so much fun helping my sister on her names, that I started thinking again about what I would name my future kids.

[name]Henry[/name], [name]James[/name], [name]Louis[/name], [name]Dorothy[/name], [name]Annelise[/name], [name]Violet[/name], [name]Eloise[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Lavender[/name], [name]Matilda[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name] and [name]Rosemary[/name] are out, but I would like to continue her tradition of having 3 names per child.

Any suggestions?

[rkarczynski]

What kind of names do you like?
I’m not very good at just suggesting names out of the blue. Sorry.

[bananakins]

Ha! Sorry. I guess that would help, wouldn’t it?

for boys I like classic names like

[name]Elijah[/name]
[name]Abraham[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Samuel[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name]
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]William[/name]

very traditional, but I also like the names like:

[name]Cormac[/name]
[name]Eamon[/name]
[name]Duncan[/name]
[name]Seamus[/name]
[name]Declan[/name]
[name]Malcolm[/name]
[name]Cedric[/name]

and I like place names like:

[name]Austin[/name]
[name]Hudson[/name]

last names for boys:

[name]Murphy[/name]
[name]Miller[/name]

and I like some of the occupational names.

For girls I like names like

[name]Adelaide[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name]
[name]Annelise[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Katherine[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Seraphine[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Henrietta[/name]
[name]Harriet[/name]
[name]Lisette[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name]
Roseline
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Savannah[/name]
[name]Georgia[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name]
[name]Jane[/name]
[name]Corinna[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]

I love flower/color/jewel names:

[name]Emerald[/name]
[name]Rose[/name]
[name]Lily[/name] - but too popular
[name]Lavender[/name]
[name]Magnolia[/name]
[name]Amaryllis[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Luna[/name]

And nature names:

[name]Arbor[/name]
[name]River[/name]
[name]Autumn[/name]
[name]Summer[/name]
[name]Bay[/name]

That’s what is on the top of my head right now.

I also love compound names like [name]Annemarie[/name] and Ellarose or something like that.

[rkarczynski]

Quite a different array of names there! That’s ok, I’m the same way.

Boys names I’m not really good at - there are very few that I really like. Of yours listed I like:

[name]Cormac[/name]
[name]Seamus[/name]
[name]Austin[/name]

I also like:
[name]Ryan[/name]
[name]Alexander[/name]
[name]Aiden[/name]
[name]Kyle[/name]
[name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Dylan[/name]
[name]Mason[/name]
[name]Lucas[/name]
[name]Brayden[/name]
[name]Chase[/name]
[name]Ashton[/name]
[name]Brendan[/name]
[name]Keegan[/name]

For your girls names I like:

[name]Annelise[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Seraphine[/name] - I like [name]Seraphina[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] (love)

Lol. Yes. I’m DotsAunt She ignited my naming bug last month, told me about this site, and here I am…

[MerylP]

[name]Welcome[/name] dots aunt! Please suggest to ur sister that she start a blog! So many of us were invested in the entire story with little [name]Henry[/name] and the twins names. I read her last post about the girls at the hospital and [name]Dot[/name] and [name]Henry[/name] trick or treating. She said she would love to post pics. I for one want to see those pics!!! She is really inspirational to me taking in [name]Henry[/name] while the twins were around the corner. [name]Just[/name] mention it to her. I love ur naming style would u mind posting on my post under boys names “need a name for [name]Lila[/name]'s brother” thanx!!

Thank you [name]Meryl[/name]! I am actually babysitting [name]Dottie[/name] and [name]Henry[/name] tonight while my sister is at the hospital with the babies.

I have been after her to start a blog too, especially, since several of our mutual friends and family members have all been constantly asking her/me for updates!

Adopting [name]Henry[/name] really happened all so fast! Its completely crazy to think about how fast it happened. I got a text from her about the news of the death, then another later on in the day about [name]Henry[/name], then the next thing I knew, my brother in law was driving up there. I know my sis was emotionally stressed, but I think there was really no doubt in my mind that they would come thru for him. [name]Both[/name] of them are just the type of people who step up to the plate. I am so lucky to have them in my family!

[name]Dottie[/name] and [name]Henry[/name] had so much fun trick-or-treating. I think this is the first year [name]Dottie[/name] really understood what it was about - well maybe. I swear she thinks that if she still wears her costume she can get more candy. Either that, or she just really likes being a bear. She is really the funniest, most entertaining little kid I have ever met.

You and your family are in my thoughts! Thank you! I had it easy tonight! [name]Dottie[/name] wanted to do what she calls “girl talk” (I taught her that) to which she interprets as she gets to ramble on about nonsense and we are all supposed to listen intently to and [name]Henry[/name] “taught” me about hockey, to which the rules are pretty simple: these guys get the puck here and this guy doesn’t want it to go there. When I asked him about some of the rules he said, “no, no, no… those are just some of the rules. but you dont have to worry about them. You just need to get the puck right there.” If I had only known it was that simple!..

Best wishes to you too!

[cora]

Haha! Yep, your sister and I were always on here late and night, and we’d post back and forth. She’s a lot of fun, and I loved her names! As I’ve told her, [name]Dorothy[/name] is my favorite two-year-old I’ve never met. I really enjoy hearing about [name]Dottie[/name] and [name]Henry[/name], and bet they looked darling on Halloween.

“Girl talk” with [name]Dottie[/name]? [name]How[/name] cute! I really love the name [name]Dorothy[/name] now because of her.

[name]Henry[/name] sounds like a sweetheart, too, and I’m so happy that he’s found a loving home.

Wait. I dropped an M&M. Must. Find. M&M. Aha! Found it!
I dropped some last night, too, when I was typing. Extra Halloween candy around me is a dangerous thing.

I love [name]Rose[/name] as a first name, too! It’s one of my favorites.

I’m so happy that you decided to post on Nameberry!

Have a good night!

[name]Welcome[/name] dots aunt! Please suggest to ur sister that she start a blog! So many of us were invested in the entire story with little [name]Henry[/name] and the twins names. I read her last post about the girls at the hospital and [name]Dot[/name] and [name]Henry[/name] trick or treating. She said she would love to post pics. I for one want to see those pics!!!

I love ur naming style would u mind posting on my post under boys names “need a name for [name]Lila[/name]'s brother” thanx!!

I second that. A lot of us have become emotionally invested I think. I personally have been checking this site everyday to see if they are ok and I am relatively new here. Please pass our best wishes and prayers on to all. And, welcome

[MerylP]

I [name]Love[/name] that [name]Dottie[/name] does “girl talk” lol. Im sure henry is teaching her so man things. MY daughter is two and she also thought that if she dressed up like a cat again she would get to eat all the candy she wanted.

[name]Jill[/name] is really the most amazing namer. She has come up with so many great combos for my son, due on Feb 10th. Of your girls list I love [name]Marigold[/name], juniper, serafina and I agree [name]Rose[/name] NEEDs to be used as a first name. [name]Savannah[/name] is so cute but due to its popularity i would middle name it.

Thank you so much for the update.
