Well now come on, I've only used 10 of the 26, not even half! ;p

 

These are still available:

 

F G H I M N O Q R S U V W X Y Z

Francis - this is a perfect name!

Genevra - okay, that is from Harry Potter and may not be a saint's name. So sue me.

Hannah - I love this name because it is a palindrome.

Iris -pulling from "Rainman", now

Meredith. Miriam. Margaret. I love them all. Surely one is a Saint's name.

Naomi. Noelle. Natalie.

Orion. Octavia. This name ranks very high for Charisma, Career, Love/Friendship, and Power, according to "The Secret Universe of Names."

Queenie, obviously.

Ruby. I love this name! It is the name I gave to a character in a half-written novel I wrote.

Sonia. Serena. Sophie.

U... i got nothin'

Veronica, obviously.

Willow. I know you said the thing about the spelling, but seriously, "Wyllow" just looks like you can't spell.

Xandra - not many options, here.

Yasmine - not really a fan, but it's a Y.

Zelda. Zane. Zandra.Zion. Zena. If you use any name beginning with Z, folks will figure it has to be the last child. ;)

Marianne? Mariana? Madeline? Magdalen? Maria/Mary/Mariam/Marie? Margaret? Marina? 

 

Ok, there are some girl M ideas from a list of Catholic saints. Perhaps other letters to follow if I get a spare chance -- I love names so this is fun.  :)

 

Do you/your DH have preferences on old-fashioned vs. more modern sounding names?

Sonia. Serena. Sophie. - hmmm .... Adding to possible list.

U... i got nothin' Ulric! But dh says no.

Veronica, obviously. dh says no bc he dislikes all the nicknames.[

Willow. I know you said the thing about the spelling, but seriously, "Wyllow" just looks like you can't spell. i know. *sigh* which is why it probably won't be used.

 

Zena. If you use any name beginning with Z, folks will figure it has to be the last child. ;)- Makes me wanna give a Xena war cry. Dh loved that and Hercules back when they were first on TV.

No derivatives of Mary - says dh while I sigh and smh

 

Idk. Well WE know, but it's open for disagreement. We like normal but not dime a dozen names usually. Either of us like made up names or unisex names. (Which i know is up for debate.)

 

 

Girl-Tudy

Boy-Zeb (Zebedee)

Yes, I'm from the south.

I actually like Zebedee!

 

Not familiar with tudy, just Trudy. I like the name Gertrude, dh is an adamant no on it tho.

Dh says, "no and Isolde sounds too close to "@$$hole" in a southern accent."

 

Which apparently he, a Texan, is insinuating *I* have.

Winifred? I'd be tempted to nickname her Fred. Just cause.

My DH threatened to name one of our twins Andrea, so he could call her Andy. Had two boys, and neither of them got named Andy. :D

 

 

Nope. Never ever. Nothing even remotely close to Fred is an option.

 

 

I tried to read a Wikipedia synopsis to see why a TV character would "ruin" a classic name that's been around for hundreds of years, but I got bored and still don't know what makes Gemma so terrible. I love the name and don't think it's that popular.

 

 

It's rather popular here in my mini-circle of society. I know if .. Oh... I think 7 little Gemmas. So no, it's not John, but that's more popular than I'd like. Went to look it up, and you are right, not terribly common at all. 300+ on the ranking at SS.

 

All I can say is watch two episodes. She is one stone cold hearted "mother".

 

 

How about Isabeau? My Texan sister named my niece that.

Iz-a-bow?

Eye-ZA-bow?

Isabe- Southern dropping of a last letter?

 

No thanks. :)

Do you have any examples of the types of names your dh likes?

 

It seems like he perhaps has a particular idea or style in mind. . .

 

Oh he has absolutely no clue. That's would sure be helpful tho.

 

The ever changing and open to demolition, modification or additions short list:

 

NAOMI has been added, much to my surprise. Now how to I pronounce it?

NAY-o-me or NIE-o-me? I've never met someone in person with this name, so I am unsure.

Dh says he really likes Naomi Willow X. Hmm. I'm iffy about the whole thing, but I don't hate it.

 

Isabel/dora - likely onky a middle name to reduce nicknames.

Sophia - as a middle bc it's too popular for a first

Margo - middle only

 

Helen

Yvette (personally I am not a fan of this one)

Someone with an ip out of Chicago followed from this thread to my blog and left these messages.

 

And

 

Sad. Really really sad for them.

 

ETA: Yes, the comments were deleted without reply and I have reported the IP and taken steps to protect my blog from a known hacker. I have no idea how to report the IP to WTM or if that's even an option.

Martha,

 

CONGRATULATIONS. 

 

Also, I am so sorry to hear this. This was most probably a non-member, since these boards can be read by the public. But if you want to send me a message with the the IP, I will ask OtherJohn to do a check on our registered members.

 

I have also deleted the totally ridiculous argumentation that followed on your mention of the troll, and anyone who resurrects THAT will get suspended.

 

And, did I mention CONGRATULATIONS?

I must run in the wrong circles because I have never heard the name Gemma before. I think it could grow on me. :)

A Wiki synopsis can't do that character justice.

 

With that said, I still like the name.
