Baby Names

Hi guys, As you can guess from the title, my good lady wife and I are expecting our first child (in June). We've been trying to find that special name without success. We don't know if it's a boy or girl. That'll be a nice surprise on the day. Any suggestions would be great. We're looking for something not too strange, but not so common that everyone in his/her class has the same name. Thanks in advance Andy
I have always favored Gaelic names for girls, and two of favorites for my daughter were "Roisin" (Row-Sheen) and "Seosaimhthin" (SHOH-si-veen, like "Josephine"). However, one must consider the fact that she would be forever telling people how to pronounce and spell her name...! :doh: So in the end, we decided on "Madeleine". But people even get that wrong and pronounce it as "Mad-el-LINE" instead of "Mad-el-LYNN" :mad:, because they do not see it is the French spelling of the name (three "e"s). Good luck! Peace! -=- James

Congratulations, We got our first child 7 months ago, a boy named Kick, which happens to be a uncommon name where we live (Holland). I always wondered how weird this name would be in English speaking countries? Arjan

we just found out my wife is pregnent with our first child this past Friday. We are in the process of deciding names as well. It's a lot tougher than I thought it would be because were trying to get a name that won't cause the child grief on the playground or later in life, but won't be so common that they don't like it at all. (btw, congrats on your first child also!)

Not as weird as the names of the Beckham's kids.

No specific suggestion, but some rough guidelines: :bob: Do pick a name that is not too difficult to spell or pronounce. I feel bad for people whos names are always mangled or misspelled. :bob: Do not take a common name, and change the spelling. :bob: You might consider picking a relatively common first name, but make the middle name something real special and unique. My middle initial is T, even though it is a lie, I always tell people it stands for Tiberius. :-D :bob: I tend to prefer names that have been used commonly for many different generations. A lot of names tend to be specific for a particular generation, and you can tell the rough age of a person just by their name sometimes. Not sure if I explained that correctly. The generation of random numbers is too important to be left to chance.

Our sons are Rockland (but Rocko to everyone) and Stockton. We chose them because they can be translated into most other languages without sounding too horid.

congratulations Andy. my wife and i couldn't agree on any names, boy or girl. Finally, we agreed on Caera, a derivation of Cara which in Italian means "dearest". We chose the Gaelic spelling though. best of luck! :)

Here on the west coast of Canada on Vancouver island many of my friends parents were old time hippies and so the kids ended up with very typical names like "sky" or "raven" but one of my friends parents did have a good idea, when their son was born they couldn't decide on a name so they decided to let him choose as a "rite of passage" when he turned 12. They called him "Noah" up until he got to choose. He chose "Faro" and would never explain why, but it seems as good as anything else. Although maybe in this day and age you can't get away with that kind of thing. There is actually a *lot* of research out there on names and how people are perceived when all you know is their name but haven't met them yet. You should look into that failing anything else because there are clear trends involved there and no sense in saddling your kid with a potentially bad name. (it wasn't based on particular names, but based on vowels and consonants etc)

Maybe I am old fashioned, but I think names should be choosen in honour of people near and dear to you. Boys should be named after their grand fathers and uncles, and girls after their grand mothers and aunts. It is a very good way to cement the bond between them. I was named after my maternal grandfather and we were always close. I know my name has special meaning in the family, and is not just something my parents came up with on a whim.

Are you sure this is a good idea? Some friends were mine were asked the same thing by a nice Danish couple they met on a holiday. My friends claim they were not told what the names were for, so they imagined something like a mild curiosity attack or a research for a travel book. Now they refuse to admit any responsibility, but they sent a mixed list with both boy's and girl's names, no other explanation attached. Needless to say, the poor baby girl ended up being called Vasile, which might sound great when pronounced with a Danish accent but it's as much boy's name as you can get in our country. Plus she'll have to spend a lot more time than most 'average' girls spelling her name to people. But that's not so bad for a girl, being the 'fair sex' they seem to be able to get away unharmed with a lot more things than us, rough, tough guys :-) OGR

BigAndy wrote: Any suggestions would be great. Maybe you could try an Indian name, that way it won't be common in his/her class and at the same time it won't be strange (in an international sense). Guy names ---------- Anand, Ashok, Balu, Deepak, Gautham, Gokul, Gaurav, Hemanth, Mohan, Nish ;-), Pradeep, Raj, Sandeep, Vivek, Yashwant Girl names ---------- Asha, Binita, Deepa, Gauri, Geetha, Hema, Indu, Jugunu, Karthika, Maya, Neetu, Nayana, Rani, Smitha, Tina, Vaishali, Yamuna There are 100s more, but these are some of the more common ones :-) If you are scared the kid would be embarassed in future when he/she finds out his/her name is from a different culture, you could use this Indian name as a middle name so he/she has the option of hiding it as and when required except perhaps in his/her passport :-) Nish

If it's a girl born in June, how about June as a name? :) Vikram.
