    if you're making up the name, making up the spelling of the name, using a word for a name that is not meant to be the name of a human being, or its just generally stupid, then i will not like it and i will probably hate it and i will feel really bad for your kid.

    that being said, i don't like to give out my list.

    "Thing 1" and "Thing 2"

    Possibly, "Doc Brown"

    Your child is not an accessory. It's a human being with a long life ahead of it.

    I am 36 and childfree by choice (staunchly!) and my fiancé already had a vasectomy for this reason...so yep, NEVER having children!

    However, I like names!

    My current favorites:

    Boys: Todd, Joel, Brent, Brooks, Karl, Andrew, Kipling, Scott, Christian, Luke & Seth (my favorite)

    Girls: Jill, Gillian, Romy, Delaney, Rowan, Brooke, Elodie, Liberty, Somer, Gwendolyn, Adrienne, Meredith & Berit (my favorite)

    Boy:
    AlphaSentauri Dylan
    Squall Zakary

    Girl:
    Andromeda Venus

    Please don't. You DO realize those names would have to go on a resume one day, right?

    I agree! Especially the boy choices. Andromeda, not so bad really.

    I've had a girl's name chosen for forever. I've already told my significant other that he doesn't have a choice on it, and he's okay with that :tongue:

    Girl: Evvilyn Rose

    Boy: Not as set on it, but I really like the names Aiden and Rowan

    No offense but what the wat...Evvilyn? Looks like evil, but much worse.

    I dislike the spelling of Aiden for that name, but it's nice. I love Rowan but for a girl. I know it's a boy name.

    If I were to have kids I would name the girl Megan Judith Nicole (middle names named after my mom and my middle name), the boy Marcus Joseph (middle name named after my dad).

    THIS. SO MANY TIMES THIS.

    I loathe 'creative' names and spellings.

    My boyfriend and I have names, but they're for family. We'll name a boy after his father and probably use my last name as a middle name as it's occasionally a first name too, and his grandmother's name for a girl. His family cares more about this kind of thing than mine (and, superficially, I like the names better than those in my family.)

    I think horrible, judgey things about people who name their kids weird made-up stuff.

    My baby making days are also over...I'm not a fan of odd spellings or names-that-aren't-really-names...but, its your kid and his/her therapy bills, so YMMV.

    FWIW...my son's name is Timothy James, and my daughter's name is Teagan Constance. All four names are family names.

    I really like Teagan Constance. I think it's cool to pair names I think of as a bit stuffy or unusual (Constance) with names that have a modern, trendier feel (Teagan). Well done.

    Whatever you do people - don't jack up the spelling of your kid's name to make them unique and creative. It looks ridiculous. If it's Jason, spell it Jason. Not Jaisen. The names I see in my kid's classrooms are ridiculous. I get being unique but it just looks awful. If you want to be unique, pick a name that every other kid doesn't have. But the misspelling just makes people look stupid. Sorry. Off my soapbox!

    if by some you mean the VAST majority, I agree.

    I really like the majority of these. I love solid, classic names. Not really sure if I want kids but this would be pretty similar to my names list.

    I want to make sure my child's name is awkward to say and spell so that the world knows I value being a trendy attention *kitten* more than I value the sanity of my child. Cause it's all about mom feeling special when naming a kid, right?

    "Hurry up Jaxsoniqua Braeydon Paeyton Aiden Caydun Smiyth. Where is your sister Nevaeh?"

    LMAO!!!!!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :flowerforyou:

    this

    and to be fair, any more than 2 syllables in a name is pointless because people will never call them that (not even the mums once the novelty wears off after 2 weeks) pretty much all names get shortened
