Scarlett Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I think my children have the loveliest names: Liam Connor, Donovan Ryals, and Rosaline Clare (pronounced ROZ-a-line rhymes with fine, as it's Shakesperean). My short list for another girl is pretty simple: Miriam, Maryam, and Magdalene. My short list for a third boy is also short: Galen. You all know, right? that Scarlett is not my real name. Only my nick name from high school....A very very old friend thought I looked like Vivien Leigh and my high school health and science coach thought I had the attitude of the character Scarlett. I love the name. I would name a girl that if I could have a girl. Which would require a man. And functioning ovaries. Carry on. Scarlett. Pick Scarlett.

And functioning ovaries. . :iagree:and :lol: I have a niece named Scarlet Rose. Oh, what a strong and feisty little woman she is! She'll never be anyone's doormat. To the OP: Bridget is a nice name. :D Or Mary, Eileen, Elizabeth, Spencer, Mickey, Evan. Sounds like a roll-call for St. Phillip's Academy, I know.

Brooketopia Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) Thank you for this thread!!! I'm due in April as well and we're not finding out what we're having and we have no clue for names. We've always "known" the name before getting pregnant and this one was...well, we definitely did not have a name picked out before getting pregnant. #1 and #3 have very traditional names--Emily and Rachel #2 has a "different" name--Renaissance So I'd like #4 to have a "different" name as well... I've been partial to Scarlett for a girl and Saxon for a boy. But Scarlett Brooke--does that make anyone else think of blood? And I LOVE the name Weston, but it reminds DH of a guy he just fired at work. Other names-- Girl: Amelia, Honey (I actually know someone named this and she is the warmest and friendliest person), Sapphire Boy: Jefferson/Jeffrey, Thaddeus (I don't know, I just heard it and liked it), Blake ETA: I just found out that a long ago friend has named her son "Aristotle." I love it. Edited November 18, 2009 by MrsBrooke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melhouse Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I like Charlotte Rose the best from your girl choices. I love the name David - always classic, never trendy. Jefferson was my grandfather's name, and it's my ds2's middle name. He's Clay Jefferson. I love it still after seven years.:) Congrats on the new baby!

Rene Austen Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Name threads are so fun! Charlotte is a lovely name, and I like the nick "Lottie". ( We have an Amelia who somehow became "Millie" without any concious effort on anyone's part). More names: I love the name Arabella--if we had another girl, that's who she'd be. And if Amelia had been a boy, she would have been Finn or Declan or (wait for it) Henry. I adore Henry. We could call him Harry, as in Shakespeare: "God for Harry, England, and St. George!!" You can't beat that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumping In Puddles Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I suggested this as a name possibility to dh yesterday... but he wanted to know about nicknames. I couldn't think of one. (He jokingly asked about "Yosa" -- he's got this need for a Russianized nickname. Ha!) So, what sorts of nicknames fit for a Josephine? I noticed that Elizabeth and Grace are very popular suggestions in this thread. I like them both (but... sigh... gotta find a name dh likes as well). I *love* the name Raisa (Rye-ee-suh). The nickname would be Raya (pronounced like Maya), but dh just won't go for it. My grandmother was named Josephine and people called her Jo. If I named my dd that, I would have nicknamed her Josie. I like the name Maya for a girl! For a boy: Duke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Cole Colton Elijah Aaron Moses Landon Isaac Josiah Charles (no nick name) Luke Isaiah I like good strong BOY names that hopefully will not be stolen by the girl naming committee in a few years. :glare: I like a family name used as a middle name especially for good strong names like the ones above.

Yes, Nadia. :D Nadia means "hope." I think it's very pretty. It was on our short list, but dh wasn't particularly taken with it. Dh wants a girl's name that starts with "A" because his father's name started with an A. (His father passed away last month and m-i-l is very adamant that our next child should be named for him.) Dh wants to make his mother happy. I, on the other hand, do not want my child named for f-i-l: he wasn't a nice person to a LOT of people, including my dh and m-i-l.
