BABY'S NAMED A BAD, BAD THING Flights of Fantasy | |
|
I found all of these within a week. Be afraid. How does the name Kanoa Kai sound? It is a Hawaiian name (i am not Hawaiian - I just love the meaning of the names) Kanoa means "The Free One" and Kai means "Ocean".
Ten bucks says she's never been to Hawaii, never met a Hawaiian, has a farmer tan and has never left the great landlocked state of Iowa.
Arch villain or pet detective....hmm.... I'm considering Christina/Kristina/Krystina for my baby girl that will be born in two weeks. I don't want to use a name that is too popular. I am also considering Christiana/Kristiana/Krystiana. Does this last group sound too fancy or sophisticated? Don't worry, with a sophisticated name like Kystiana, she'll be moved up from regular lap dances to the Champagne Room in no time. I am 39w5d pregnant and in serious need of a girls name. We don't know what we are having but we have 3 girls already and I am just assuming another one is on its way. If we have a boy his name will be Kole. My girls' names are Brett (RyLee), Bailee (Shea), and Kendall (Jade). What we want to do is use a name that is somewhat androgonys (sp), just because the others are and we are looking for something that starts with a 'K'. Some thoughts have been Kaelyn or Kylie but nothing is getting agreed on and we have no other ideas.
Look, you can't do something if you can't spell it. That's why most of us are allowed to drive a car or date rock stars but not allowed to give an How are these names for my DD twins! Brecklyn & Brooklyn Jena & Jori Brianne & Brynn Editor's note: There will be no comment accompanying this entry as the author was rushed to the hospital after trying to say these names aloud rapidly and part of her jaw fell off. We are expecting baby #2 in December, we already have a DD Mackenzi Lynn who is 20 mos. old, what do you think of Kadince Mae (or Kadance, Kadence, Cadence) and calling her Kadi, or Cadi for short? We call DD Kenzi, i like a long name with shorter versions. Thanks.
Few realize the much of Leonardo da Vinci's later work was actually done by his trendy airhead sister Mackenzi ka Dince, particularly "his" later technical drawing "OMG avril is SOOOO KEWL!!!!11!!!!!"
I appreciate that saying cadence cadence cadence cadence cadence cadence cadence cadence in a way replicates what cadence is...if your definition of cadence is mostly wrong. Which is a moot point, 'cause I don't think she knows it's a word.
I am not pregnant yet but thinking about names...I just thought of the name Lourdes Solange. This baby will be 75% latina and 15% european :) ...and 10% polyester. Hello, I was wondering if anyone new of a good site to go to to find a native american name???? Please let me know. I was thinking of using it for a middle name if I found a name that went nicely with the first name. Many Native names have really cool meanings. Just wondering. I am Mohawk if this helps. Thank you for your help.
Sure you are, honey. Mohawks are widely known for maintaining their traditions - which they have to ask total strangers about - because they're "really cool." This belief is known in their language as "The Mother Spirit is way awesome. Number one! Woooo! Mohawks freakin' rule!"
She might want to consider Karé:ken Kaná:taro as a good Mohawk name. It means "White Bread."
ANYONE HAVE ANY GOOD SUGGESTIONS FOR A FIRST NAME THAT GOES WITH THE MIDDLE NAME SARAH? THIS IS MY TWIN SISTERS NAME AND IF I HAVE MY 5TH GIRL IN A ROW LOL THEN I THINK I WOULD LIKE TO USE HER NAME AS A MIDDLE NAME. CANT USE IT AS A FIRST NAME BECAUSE I ALREADY HAVE A DD NAMED CIERRA AND IT IS WAY TO CLOSE. MY OTHER KIDS NAMES IF IT HELPS ARE: NATHANIEL ORION, SHAYLYNN NYCOLE, CIERRA RENEE, SAVANNAH HALEIGH, & ARIANNA GRACE. Holy crap, she's got a WNBA team going. Trained in the ancient kung-fu arts by the Shaylynn monks. So what are your opinions on Haven for a girl and do you have any mn suggestions? Dont worry about hurting my feelings, just be honest. My DH and I love this name. OH! I would really love to know your Husbands opinions on this name. It is just a theory of mine so ask them if they are around. So I want you and DH opinions and any MN suggestions. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU ALL!!!
Don't worry about hurting my feelings, it's just something I love and treasure and even the blandest of unenthusiastic comments will break my heart into a million, billion pieces. No, really, give me your brutally honest opinion, so that your politely disagreeing comments will make a pregnant woman weep for days, which I'm sure you'll enjoy, you cruel, demonic wench.
Don't mind me, I'll just sit here in the dark formulating theories about your husbands. No, I won't tell you what they are - I'll just let you suffer as you make me suffer. You pitiless cow.
So, what do you think of Haven?
Which name do you think? Brecklyn Kate OR Ridgely Mae I'm torn between the 2. Thanks Brooke
And I'm torn between why your name ideas are "Welshman recites New York's boroughs" and "The other guy from Wham."
Why not something hip and modern, like "Stetten Eeland" and "The bassist from Culture Club."
Which spelling is best for baby boy Tristan Tristen Trystan Triston Tristain Other And which spelling is best for giving people an aneurysm? Angering them, making them treat you with malice, aversion and tristain? Here is a sample from Names Through the Ages by Teresa Norman. Female names:
Aelfreda- elf strength Male names:
Adhelm-noble helmet
I don't really need to say anything here, do I? I mean, really, we're mostly adults here, we're reasonable people - do I really have to say anything about a name that means "wealthy wolf" and sounds like chronic sinus congestion?
Baby naming bulletin boards are peppered with people like this posting massive lists of medieval Norse, or Welsh, or Celtic names and their (cough) meanings. (Any Spanish or Italian or Greek or Farsi or Korean or Aztec or Egyptian or Gabonian names? No. Just the uber-pale peoples of the world.) Hiding amongst them are always a couple acceptable names, and the rest are chorus parts from Wagner's Ring cycle.
I'll be honest - I have no freakin' clue what these people are trying to accomplish.
What does everyone think about Oleander for a girls, or possibly a boys, name??? Cute nn's??
This is from the International Oleander Society (note: it's their mission to promote this plant.):
What do you think of the name Allegra? It is Italian and means cheerful & lively.
Side effects are low in seasonal allergy users and may include headache, cold, or back pain. People with kidney ailments should consult their doctor before taking Allegra.
Look, it's just your bad luck when a product or TV character or popular porn star or Rick Santorum ends up having your name, but if they came out with it first....just walk away.
We have narrowed our name choices for our daughter down to 3...Aidan, Ciara (Key-ara), or Sierra. We're worried about a few things with these names...mispronunciation, misspelling, and confusion for girl/boy. (I've lived with a very uncommon name and hated it, but seems like the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!) I am Italian and would like a bit of "Italy" in the name since our last name is of Irish descent and these first names are all pretty much Irish as well.
(A sample response):
Seems the apple doesn't fall far from the tree and the tree has forgotten being a sappling. And has as firm a grasp on geography, gender, society and ethnicity as our Mohawk buddy does on her Indo-Pakistani roots.
Just plain no comment of the response. Except that her knowledge of Italy is so limited, I'm amazed she realized "Italian" comes from "Italy." And she got her suggested name off a jar of marinated artichoke hearts.
I have started to have a real liking for 'mae up' names, I guess because they are so original. I have seen some really good ones on [a particular baby names hellhole] and I was wondering if you guys could tell me more! I'm not picky, I don't care if people have heard someone with the name before, etc., just anything that is really original and not technically a name... These are the ones I've seen here that I love;
Avrielle That's all I can think of right this moment...
Also I love word names, tell me all the word names you can think of!
I like;
Grey
And one more thing, I love place names, nice sounding ones; Any names that you would put in these 3 catergories that you think also sound nice would be appreciated! Thanks before hand :)
Yup, you just saw Journey twice.
Like 99.9 percent of people who think they've invented names, and that these names are oh-so-ungrotesque, she is mistaken on both counts.
On point one, they are almost always hybrids of two or more Celticy/Old Englishy names and only found in scifi/fantasy novels, role playing games, and derivative fan fiction.
I looked ALL the "invented" names up on your behalf. Seeing as I have a pathological, bordering on irrational hatred of the fantasy genre, this was sort of like having a vegan volunteering to take a tour of the Hormel plant on your behalf:
Avrielle - some sort of role-playing squirrel beast on some guy's Web site. The site crashed my computer before I finished reading what the heck it was.
Olivianna - wizard guild site. I guess wizards need collective bargaining and union job protections.
Sophelia - Very popular with goths. I found it as a goth role-playing character, an over-affected pen and ink goth drawing, and a goth character in a Arthurian-type online novella with terrible web design.
Allorah is some sort of online psychic ("I see an ISP bill in your future...") and Allora (no H) is a town of 1,500 in Queensland, Australia.
Fairith is mentioned on this guy's site but I couldn't figure out what the hell he was going on about, and Babelfish doesn't have a translator for "Spell-casting wanker."
Sabriel is the title character of a real, actually published book by Garth Nix in which "Sabriel is a necromancer, and as such is caught between two worlds. In her case, the worlds are Ancelstierre, where she grew up, and the Old Kingdom, where charter magic holds sway and her destiny lies." Which, if I'm not mistaken, is what is says on every fantasy book cover ever. The cover illustration holds up my theory, as Sabriel is depicted in the typical mystical elfin fantasy style: consumptive pencilneck in a doublet.
Katrien appears to be a name used in Belgium and the Netherlands - one of the first sites on a web search I found was "dirk en katrien's nude amateur homepge." Personally, I think it sounds sort of like the French for "eighty."
Samaya is the daily newspaper of the state of Orissa, in eastern India.
Ever is the European Association for Vision and Eye Research. As an adverb it means, "at all times," as in, "One who thinks Ever is a name is ever crazy and should be ever locked up."
ask names: Which the best pronunciation of names with Ken
Ken Kami? I don't know, I don't want to know, what this guy's on. I cannot see myself naming any of my children these names, but I wanted to know what everyone else thought. I found them in a magazine, they are names of teen models:
Taisy All of these names were for girls by the way. :) Ditto for these girls' parents AND the lady who submitted this, just because of her perky tone. What do you think of the name Eitan (pr. Ay-tawn)? I saw it on a Bratz Boyz doll and thought it was pretty cool.
Is there a classier place to get your child's name than from this strangely feminine fashion toy?
I thought not.
having twins... what names do you like?
girls:
Boys:
You know how to make fortune cookie fortunes funny you add "...in bed" to the end? Try adding these names to serious news stories.
"OPEC's decision to keep production capped at 25.4 million barrels a day was a wise move, says economist Ashlan Aydan Richardson."
"The members of the 2002 Pulitzer Prize Board included Louis D. Boccardi, president and CEO of the Associated Press; Tom Goldstein, dean of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism; and Wall Street Journal managing editor Irelyn Knoah Steiger."
So I know Leto is a girl's name but I recently read a book where it was used for a boy and thought that might be a good real boy's name. WDYT?
WDYT? IT, WTF?
Yes, Leto is a girl's name...in ancient Greek mythology. Since then, it's usually used as slang by Tonight Show writers for when Jay Leno won't sign a joke into law. (Letos can only be overturned by a 2/3rds vote by the audience.)
My husband and I ... have begun the process of actually adopting (an 8-month old girl with special needs). She has a name, which neither my husband or I are fond of, and we would like to change it.
Her current name is : Rainey Marie
Now I think these names are across the board awful, but it's especially mean to give a tough name to a kid with special needs. I remember reading a story in a magazine that included a girl with severe retardation named Cassiopeia. I can't even imagine her frustration.
Meanwhile, how amazing is it to find a kid named Henry, even if he has a rather ill-fitting middle name. Henry! A breath of friggin' air!
What would you name a sibling for.... Mackenzie. Ok and let me say that I am NOT asking for opinions on the name Mackenzie. It has been said and done. I am asking what kind of sibling names you think would go well with Mackenzie. So please no debates. ... And if you hate the name so much you can't bare to think about it any longer then don't reply, you're forgiven :).
OK, I think I've done plenty of ranting over 15 pages about people tailoring their kids into sets, but the idea that someone's ONLY requirement for a name is it "goes" with Mackenzie is so extreme it makes it hard to resist the urge to split my own head open with a mid-sized hatchet.
But that's not all! This post comes a day or so after a big-ass rumble over the name Mackenzie. (Well, as close to a rumble as you can get going on a baby name bulletin board - they are extreme in their censorship of even the most polite criticism.) This rumble is the reason for the going on...and on....and on....about why this mom doesn't want any opinions of Mackenzie, just suggestions.
SO, after obviously having knowledge of the debate, and a fear of it spilling over to her name search, does it strike anyone else as...shall we say, ill-conceived...that she ask these same people for a name where the only requirement is it "goes" with Mackenzie???
You'd think her fear of confrontation would drive her to, oh, I don't know, find ANY other parameter ("we don't want to name her after any skin diseases.") As opposed to offering benediction in advance to people who commit the egregious sin of "if you can't say something nice, so don't say anything at all."
I loathe this entry.
well i would name a child Elisabeth or Alexander lol but otherwise
girl Brandon Logan Elliot Harrison Jackson Chandler Wyatt Garrett Mitchell Prentice Westley Griffin Brendan Zachary Marshall Randall Braydon Jefferson Jamison
Well, my last comments were pretty wordy, so I'll cut this one short:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Which name(s), best fits these qualities, consider nns too
1. Works well on a child or an adult
Autumn
Irony, you cold bitch. She pegs a couple number ones, some that are at least 50% number two, and two that are number three - but none that are all of them. How she plans to regulate her adult daughter's nicknames is beyond me.
And then there's Greenlie. Would someone, anyone, anywhere, please explain what she's smoking that she could ask for something mature and confident and have Greenlie included as a possibility?
"I want to give my kid a strong, mature, classic name, so I'm calling her Dainty Froufroubottom."
