ideas for names

[shevacc]

I know this is waaaaaay early but I've been watching all the names threads floating around and want to play too. Since I only really love girl names, I assume that we're likely to have a boy next, but until we know it's still fun to come up with lists. Plus...my current favorites seem to change from week to week and day to day, so who knows what we'll end up with anyway

DH likes long names. I'm not sure what the limit of "long" is. What else should I consider?

Girl names:

Seraphina - I think this is my current favorite

Margaret - (nn Meg) this is my mom's name and nn

Lenora (nn Nora) one of my coworkers has a 3 year old DD named Nora...not sure if that's weird

Linnea

Louisa

Josephine (nn Jo) - my favorite Aunt's name

Charlotte

Boy names:

John - my dad and my brother's name...I would ask my brother if he planned to have more kids and might want to use it first

Andrew - my college best friend's name

Daniel

Joshua

I LOVE Charlotte.

I don't think I love any of your boy names, I do like the significance of John.

I like all your girl names except Linnea. Josephine and Charlotte are my favorite.

If A was a girl, Josephine was in my top 3. And of course I love Andrew I also love Joshua.

I hadn't thought of that, but not sure whether kids would really come up with that or not?

My aunt's name is Charlotte Josephine, though she goes by Jo, so it would be fun to do Josephine Charlotte.

We'll, I love all of those girl names. I'm partial to Louisa. I also like:

Magdalena
Lorraine

Your boy names aren't terribly exciting to me but they are all nice, strong names.

Would it be weird if my coworker thinks I named a child after his 3 year old DD?

I love Seraphina and really like all the rest with the exception of Linnea. I will always think of Linea Nigra.

Lol, you and Tamb. I think of Linnea in Monet's Garden, a children's book...I think DH already shot down Linnea last time anyway, though most of the rest are new.

I love Louisa! Of the boy names I like Joshua best.

This.

I like all the girl names but Linnea. I have a love of Nora for some reason and I really don't think your coworker would think you named your kid after there's!

I love Louisa and Daniel, but I'd be anti-Dan or Danny.

I don't like Dan either, though Danny sounds kinda cute for a little boy. But non-traditional nicknames are more our style so we probably wouldn't end up with anything you'd think of right away.
