Some are of dubious legitimacy, but I thought they were so cool, that I would make a post about them!
Joaquina- I know this is a real name, but I’d never heard of it!
Mythily -very pretty, probably too much for a first name, but so cool!
Poppaea -have no clue, but I love it gives the nickname Poppy!
Sylvélie -I’ve found a scattering a French women named this, I suppose it’s a French version of Sylvia, but I don’t know. I love Sylvia, it’s Erik’s aunt’s name.
Andżelika -pronounced ahn-je-LEE-kah, love the spelling
Alissende
Irina-I prefer this to Irene/Irena, and really starting to like it!
Elleth-kind of like Lilith, without the associations?
I’m having name troubles. I never thought it would be so hard, but now that there is a living thing mooching off me, no name sounds right. Or should I say no girl name sounds right. Literally every name on my short list, every name on my long list, they all just don’t work for me! Any suggestions? Maybe we can play a round of “Name my girl-child!” Hmm…next post, k?
For boy names though, it’s the opposite problem! I love WAY too many stinking names, and all sound really good! My beloved Wynn just isn’t feeling like the right one anymore, strangely I’ve been leaning more towards Malcolm, Mal just feels right with me.
Anyway, here is my shortened list for a boy, I’m fairly sure if my little bean is a boy, that his name will be somewhere on this list! Oh our last name is McCall, and for a boy, the middle names are completely set as Alexander Clint. (For sanity’s sake, Erik will be playing the part of DH)
Malcolm -I’m just crushing on this big time, adore Mal as a nickname, dh likes as well, maybe not great with our last name…
Alasdair -love the nickname Dair, dh is so-so, wouldn’t work with our middle name choices though
Hugh -I really dislike Hugo, but love Hugh! Unfortunately, this is the name of DH’s uncle, and DH isn’t wanting to use it!
Wynn -this is a big family name for me, and has huge sentimental value. Dh loves this one the best.
Perrin -I adore Perry, and right now this is my fav. Perry name. I also really love Percival, nn Perry. dh loves Perry too
Linus -name crush, dh likes, but doesn’t love
Bruno -name crush, dh doesn’t like it, and doesn’t sound good with our last name, but I ADORE it right now!
James -I adore Jamie, dh isn’t sure about this one, he knew someone named James he didn’t like. It’s also my older step-brother’s name that I don’t ever see.
Oskar -only like this spelling, dislike Oscar. huge name crush, dh likes, but doesn’t love
Elliot -name crush, dh likes a lot
Laurence -family name for me, my step-father’s name (he goes by Larry), love Laurie, dh is so-so on it
Victor -my step-father’s middle name (Larry Victor), dh loves this
Daren -sort of a family name, only this spelling. dh doesn’t care for it
Darcy -huge name crush, I love Pride and Prejudice. dh isn’t crazy about it
Hamish -love this, and love nn Mischa. dh isn’t crazy about it
Ezra -i really like this, but DH loves it
Samuel -dh isn’t super crazy about it, but I adore Sammy (He said he doesn’t like it, because when he was young, he named his, ahem, boy part, Samuel…What?! I’ve never heard a more silly reason to turn down a name! He’s throwing out Tiffany Angel for a girl, I’ll go tell him I named my hoo-hoo that so he’ll lay off the stripper names!)
Myles -only this spelling, I love this, dh prefers Mylo, honoring name, maybe not the greatest with our last name
Rhys -only this spelling, dh doesn’t care for it
August -love this specifically for the nickname Gus. dh loves, but prefers Augustus
Cooper -I adore this name, I know I shouldn’t but it makes me all warm and fuzzy. I know all the arguments of why it’s bad, I STILL love it! Maybe not the best with our last name
Logan -I’m so-so on this, dh loves it, name of Wolverine
Magnus -I like this, dh loves this, I adore the nickname Maggie for a little boy. Maybe not the best with our last name.
Cosmo -I’m so-so on this, dh loves it. maybe not the greatest with our last name
Soren-dh loves this, I really like it
Reid -we both really like this, dh loves that Reid is the name of Mr. Fantastic on Fantastic Four
Jasper -I love this, dh doesn’t, and he has a close family friend with a grandson named Jasper. I adore Jap as a nickname
Charlie -sigh, I don’t like Charles nearly as much as just Charlie. I know in the end I would use Charles probably, but I would only call him Charlie, never Charles. dh’s grandfather’s name, but dh didn’t really care for him.
