Naming Ceremony!

[Flar's Freyja]

Mol and Semele have already picked out a beautiful name - Trinity - for their new addition if she's a girl. There's still about 7 1/2 months to go and they're open to other suggestions. So, let's all contribute and take a vote when the time draws near.
If you happen to know the meaning of the name, this would be very helpful.

For today, I like Trinity, but I'm sure I'll have a few more as time goes on.

[manstranger]

Leah is a nice one, and pretty popular.

Ooh, I like that one!

Trinity is pretty too.

[Flaire-FireStar]

mmmmm... I like Trinity..It's a pretty name...
As for my thoughs:

Cassandra
Chloe
Kirby
Crescent
Tristan
Andie
Chandra
Paige
Erin

I don't have my name dictionary thing handy right now.. :)

[Chibi-Fallon]

Girls:
Brazil is a pretty name (it's unisex but I think it would sound better for a girl) but it's a place so that makes it kinda crappy but it's Irish (oddly enough), and means brave.
Or you could name her Fallon :D which apparently means "in charge" how appropriate. ;)
Evita (which is Spanish) means life
I’ve always liked the name Jade. If I ever have a girl I would name her that.
Cori is a cool name too

Boys:
Asher is name I’ve always like.
Lee is a neat name but it's like Brazil some people can't pull it off.
But I've got really wired buddies named Richard, and Bobby (which I guess would be Robert). So stay away from the "R" names. :D

[Yvonne Belisle]

My daughter's middle name is Cassandra:)

[Flar's Freyja]

I met a little girl named Brook Lynn the other night!

[shnen]

Now I remember... Taylor - I love that name for either sex:)

I do like Trinity though... it's very beautiful. :)

That's her whole first name? :)

I have a friend named Sheri Lynn.

[Flar's Freyja]

:T Yep. She pronounced it as one word, like Brooklyn, NY!

[Flaire-FireStar]

:) Those kindsa names a cool....You can just have the front part..or put both of 'em together.... :D

[Twilight Garden]

I have been looking at names recently for my future child. We are going to start "trying" in May. My favorite site for looking up names is Behind The Name (http://www.behindthename.com/). I also like mythological names a bit. We are actually considering Pandora as a female name.

[Semele]

Wow, you guys have really come up with some good ones! lots to choose from. Where the heck is mol?

Semele

[Yvonne Belisle]

So now that he doesn't need to practice as much you misplaced him????? Maybe he is giving pointers to someone? Did you check sleeping under the bed he could be relaxing for the next big event.:)

[Flaire-FireStar]

Semele

I still say go with Trinity...It's such a beautiful name. :)

[Raindancer]

Trinity is OK, but I think it has a sort of "Christian" feel to it. The Blessed Trinity and all... There's a three petalled flower called a Trillium, what about a feminine variation like Trillia? Or something Latin like Divia? Boys names are harder, you need to try to find something thats not going to get them beat up in the schoolyard when they get older. I had a thought... Patch, like Patch Adams. Rafe... If my third kid Sean had been a girl, she would have been Heather Rose. Good Luck
Raindancer

[Sequoia]

I like trinity. It's beautiful. It makes me think of the infinate beauty and possibilities in the universe! hehe and it also made me think of the three, maiden mother and crone. ^^;; I never even THOUGHT about "holy trinity" until Raindancer mentioned it. . .

lol I also like names that are off-shoots of Elizabeth. . . but then it would be silly to mention them, because my name is elizabeth! hehe don't wanna sound like that.

Keri is a pretty name. :) But I really like Trinity.

[Niamh]

I really do like Trinity

[Danustouch]

Trinity is really pretty, too :)

Just don't do what my friend did...go into sensory overload.

The name she wound up choosing wasn't so bad..Sierra Dawn, but at one point, she was pondering..

Coral Rose, and her last name was another word for "Flowers".

Coral Rose "Flowers". Hello??? blech. Sorry..i just always thought that that sounded like a future "Stripper" name or something. Glad she didn't choose that.

[Illuminatus]

Trinity? Too Matrix. May as well name her The Manhattan Project.

You're lucky Mol. Get this.. my girlfriend wants her kids to name themselves. Have you ever heard of anything more ridiculous??? What do you call them for the two years it takes them to learn how to speak coherently? "Hey You"... was her answer. She is a nutball. Somehow she thinks that her daughters and sons will just spontaneously "choose" the names she wants for them, namely Brandon and Ivy. But they'll probably end up naming themselves Bulbasaur or Smurfette or whatever 2 year olds are into in the future. Jeez.

The old names never go out of style. In this case, I advise the oldest: Eve.

[Old Witch]

For a boy I'm kinda partial to Kenneth..........

[Lavender]

I love Trinity for a girl. That is so simple and beautiful.

Illy, I'm curious...if your girlfriend has more than one child, would she call them "hey you #1" and "hey you #2"? The names kids would come up with at that age could be very interesting. When my son was 3, we let him name our dog. The dog's name is Jawge.

[Yvonne Belisle]

Eve has it's issues too as they get older. I can't tell you how many times i have heard "Hi, my name is Adam" The only time it was true the poor guy turned a good shade of red and pulled out his wallet to introduce himself while studdering it was cute. :)

[Dancin Girl]

Trinity is beautiful I vote for keeping it!! And then using one of the other great names for a middle name?

I used my Grandmothers names when I named my daughter. Added to the Dora and came up with Dorissa and then used Suzanne for the middle name.

[Niamh]

There was an Olympic skier whose parents allowed her and her siblings to chose their own names... hers was Picabo. Picabo Street!

[StarryDancer]

I think Trinity's kind of a cool name. Other girls' names I like are Kerry (for Ceridwen) and Lucia (light).

I've always let my cats name themselves (more or less) by their behavior. Hence I've had a Sassy, a Shadow, a Fancy, a Dancer... well, you get the idea. Letting a kid name themselves I see as leading to disasters such as Picabo, Pooper, Princess Leia, or Barbie!

[chocochu]

Girl names:

Lexiss--protecter of mankind
Livanna--Lunar
Loralei--melody
Lycoris--twilight
Adah--beautiful addition
Aleda--small & winged
Astrid--divine strength
Ayoko--one who causes joy.

Trinity is a v. pretty name,though. ^_ ^

Exactly. Her kids are going to be named after cartoons or bugs or food, or whatever else 2 year olds are into. I could not bear bringing my kids to a picnic and having to introduce them as my lovely children, Pudding and Batman.

[Flar's Freyja]

My boys' names are

Aaron: means prince or priest - yes, he thinks he's a god
Adam: man of red earth - he's definitely a macho man
Jesse: wealthy one - and he's always had more money than I do!

[Flaire-FireStar]

:loveduv: I was supposed to be named Aaron if I was a guy..:p Would prefer it over name I have now. :sick: blech!

[Flar's Freyja]

Was going to be Aarona if a girl ;)

[Flaire-FireStar]

:huh: Wonder what it is about the name Aaron though... :lol: I know about a million....Between that, Mikes, Sara(h) and Jennifer's...;)

[MammaStar]

I've always liked the names:

Stephanie
Angelina (my grandma's name)
Arianna (my neice's name)

Boys:

Justin
Hunter (my nephew's name)

My kid bro & his wife are pregnant again. They've decided on the name Shane spelled either "Shane" for a boy or "Shayne" for a girl.

***NOTE TO WITCHYCHK13 Yes, J is naming the kid after a girl we went to school with!***

[Flar's Freyja]

:T I liked it because it was ex-husband's name, no one was named that - until I named MY son that - then it was the most popular name that year (1980)......:rolleyes:

Also had Stephanie chosen for girl - is Stevie Nicks' actual name, and Avedon for boy, not sure why I didn't choose that.....

Wanted a girl so bad with third one, so disappointed, he didn't have a name til he was 3 days old! :(

[Flaire-FireStar]

For 84, I swear it's Mike.....There were like a zillion Mikes in my grade. :T

[Earthcup]

Jessica, Crystal, Joshua and Stephen, a million of them in my school!

You might want to check and see what names are super popular so you can avoid them...:D

Honorah-means honor, Nori is a cute nickname and means precious in Japanese

Asteria-Greek I believe, means of the starry sky

Brighid would be a cool name to go with Trinity

Trinity Brighid or Bridget Trinity or something like that. A Pagan trinity honoring the three faced Celtic goddess.

Curran is nice for a guy, Rory is nice too

Conor and Arthur are some other faves of mine...

Trinity is an awesome name, I would definitely go with that!

[Niamh]

My favorite names are all old Irish, Scottish, Gaelic names. I adore the name Niamh (not really my name!)... I like more boys names than girls names. Of course, I'll be rewarded with a tribe of girls when it's my time! :)

[Earthcup]

Liam is my favorite boys name though. Maybe name him William so he can have more options when he's older but call him Liam. :D

I love the Gaelic names. My mother wants a granddaughter named Sioban sooo bad!

[Niamh]

My brother is William. I think when he has a son he's considering Liam. Actually, I think he has his heart set on it. Not sure what his wife thinks, though!

[AradiaSupernova]

my Mom and Dad did this

Sara-princess
Shannon-small or wise
Hollie-from a holly berry bush.


hehe.

For me though, I'm stuck on naming atleast one of my girls Mackenna, Alexandra, or Danika.
And for boys...Tristan, Blake, or Damien.

[Euphoria]

i dunno ... i guess my mum just thought Charysma sounded special

just choose what your heart tells u .. thats my oppinion lol

[blindsight]

I think a name should be meaning ful to you and when the child grows up it will be meaningful for them too!

[Flar's Freyja]

Bumping for Myst and Silver Venus, and anyone I forgot as well...

[OnlyTheLonely]

Girls:

Skylar

Savannah

Destanie

Infintiy


Boys:

Da' Rae Ambrose

Sage Nathaniel

Xavier

Xion

Kieran

[Flaire-FireStar]

Hmmm.. I've never heard of Skylar as a girls' name before, but it does sound cool... :) And I *love* Da' Rae Ambrose & Sage Nathaniel as boys' names!!! :hearteyes

[Pan]

Earthcup: Nori can also mean seaweed. O.o So you have to be careful when choosing a name from another language.. it can have more than one meaning, depending on the kanji used.

If you want to go Japanese, "Utsukushii" is a bit long, and open for ridicule, but it means beautiful.

Names I've always liked are:

Ariadin (a friend of mine named her daughter that)
Faye (good friend of mine is named that)
Abigail
Kelly (comes from the Irish Kalleigh, meaning warrior)
April (means open)
Adelle (sister's middle name)
Luna (i know it's very video-game)
Mary
Brigid
Heather


www.babynames.com is full of names and meanings. You can do a search for the meaning and they'll give you names, or vice versa. :) Happy hunting!

I had to giggle at that.

[Flar's Freyja]

I worked with a little boy named Eleven in my last job! Wasn't the eleventh child or born on the 11th or anything......parents said they just thought it sounded cool......:eyebrow:

[Lakota]

I love the name Devi. I associate it with a strong woman... Many blessings on the new addition!

I guess it's the same as naming your child after a day of the week or a month something. *shrugs*

[Mamma_Mia]

Girls

Sophia - Wisdom

Eleanor- Light

Nicole- Victory (of the people)


Those are really my vaorite names so..yup

[Myst]

I'm thinking Willow Rain or Willow Nicole but don't know if my fiance will like those :D

[Flar's Freyja]

(((((Myst))))))

Bump ~ Silver Venus is due any day now and Semele says that "Trinity" is still their first choice.

[Emerald Oak]

I'm surprised n one has suggested "Faith" yet.

Oh, and as for choosing a name that won't get much ridicule... As long as you raise your kid(s) to believe that the right attitude will get you places, they could easily get away with a name like Pudding or Batman :D

[Old Witch]

:lol: Name your kid Pudding or Batman and see how cruel kids are......and how much your kids will blame you..............

[BrigitCayenne]

I'm particularly fond of the name Brigit in all spellings

[Flar's Freyja]

In my Child Welfare work, I got a kid assigned to me named "Your Majesty." No joke. The other kids didn't seem to think a thing about it!

[Semele]

I read the first post in this thread where it said I had 71/2 months to go and I almost fainted!!!

We are still thinking Trinity. I actually thought about trinity Faith..*wink Emerald oak*, but mol likes Trinity Nicole best. for a boy we like Keaton...not sure on a middle name yet. I guess we will have to decide when the kid pops out...if it's a boy. Yup, ultrasound on Wed..legs crossed, so no idea!

[Flar's Freyja]

Hmmm, but weren't you concerned about Trinity Nicole's initials?

:blushake:

Oooh, let us know what they say on Wednesday!

[Semele]

I think Van likes the initials!!!

:( You misunderstood...I had the ultrasound last Wednesday...legs crossed...wont know until they slice me open and spill the goods!!

It is mol's fault becasue he told the kid to keep the legs clossed the night before...he is just too funny!:rolleyes:

[Flar's Freyja]

He's already preparing for a girl, sounds like a shotgun daddy to me!

Found this name generator on MSN this morning:

http://womencentral.msn.com/babies/tools/namer.asp

[Semele]

Trinity Nicole it is. Just found out today that it is indeed a girl...or so the ultrasound lady said!!

[Nina]

Girly!!!!! Great stuff!!!!

Congrats Semele and Mol!!!!

Hugs to you both!

[Flaire-FireStar]

:boing: Congradulations on finding out the sex of the baby!

[Flar's Freyja]

And we know what kinds of baby gifts to buy now, too!

[Élistariel]

http://search.babynameorigins.com/find/page.cgi?g=Home%2FFamily%2FPregnancy%2FBaby_Names%2Fmore10.html&d=1

that site has a TON of name links.
Trinity Nicole is beautiful.
Trinity - Holy Three
Nicole - Victory of the people
I agree with the other, don't let your daughter name herself. If she absolutely hates it, she can change it later. If my parents allowed me to choose my own name, I would be introducing myself as Rainbow Brite Ferguson.
