Kimberly in IN Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I am a Mia. Pretty name but not really me. Not overly fond of my name either. Liked my 1910 name, Elizabeth and my 1890 name, Minnie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndGenHomeschooler Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I would be Gracie. My youngest sister is named Grace. We used to call her Gracie when she was younger. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8circles Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I would be Morgan. I'm not sure if it's an improvement on Allison or not. It's not a name I would ever have picked but I think it might suit me better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Analia. I don't hate it. But I think I have to go with my 1910's name, which is Clover. All my old fashioned ones were really good actually, like Flonnie and Dosha. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catz Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Ugh - my name would be Taylor now! I could get on board with my 1890's name - Maria. Or 1940's name - Ella (which is coincidentally my dd's name) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerine Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I am a Mia. Pretty name but not really me. Not overly fond of my name either. Liked my 1910 name, Elizabeth and my 1890 name, Minnie. I know what your name is and what year you were born. Either that or our results oddly parallel each other through the ages. ETA. Nevermind. Your name is Kimberly. Mine is not. But same years/names I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daria Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Clara. I like that name, maybe better than my own. Clara is lovely! I would be Alana, which I like and had on my list for DS if he had been a boy. DS would be William, which is another name I like a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanSue Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Alexa :thumbdown: (not for me, anyway). The only name in my entire list that I liked was Rosie from 1900. That's what we call our youngest (her middle name is Rose and her first name never took off with me, for some reason). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Okay, my name gets some really wacko results. Today, I'd be Ana. Okey-dokey. Not that different from 1900's or 1890's which would be Ava and Alva, respectively. But then the real weirdness. In the 1990's my name would have been Infant??!! and in the 1940's, I'd be James??!! Really, they're almost all awful. Lois? Verna? Lesley? Delphine? Gaaah. But at least in the 1980's I'd have my best friend's name, and in the 1950's I'd have the now super-trendy Isabel. I'm liking my name more and more. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanSue Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I'm kind of bummed that Charlotte is so popular now. And with the new princess, I'm sure it will get even more so. I'm not sure if we'll have another baby but that was our name pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Today I would be a Sydney. Which is fine. I like the name, although I know too many of them. My favorite tv character is named Sydney (Bristow, "Alias", do they accept middle aged housewives in the CIA? I'd be the perfect operative, nobody would ever suspect me!) My 1890's name is Lou (ugh). I don't mind my 1970's name which would be Dina. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Today, I would be Lily. But since my name has two pretty equally common spellings, if my parents had used the other spelling, I'd be Harper. What made me chuckle is that my name for the decade after mine is the name of my sister, who was born in that decade, although not the spelling she uses.

Night Elf Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I just checked my dd's name. It was 38th in 1998 and apparently must still be that today because her name wouldn't change. Weird! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Strawberry Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Hanna. I like it. The odd spelling is what dropped it way down into the 400s, I'm sure.

wintermom Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Oh, dear Lord, my 1890s name would be Mintie (like Pepperminty?)! My name now would be Sage. There seems to be a herbal theme going on. ;) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3 ladybugs Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Emma today, Mary from 1890's to 1960's. 😄😄 My name is Jennifer. However I was suppose to be Emily (which I named my late daughter) and that would have given me some intresting names though the years. Today I would be Sarah. I just looked up DH, Anthony, he would be Andrew today. He was suppose to be Aloysius though (a name he is VERY thankful he didn't get) and that would make him Briggs today. 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Strawberry Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 . In the 1990's my name would have been Infant??!! Infant/Baby Boy/ Baby Girl is the legal name given to babies who have not been named. I have a friend who adopted her son shortly after birth, but the legal proceedings took a long time. His legal name was Baby Boy Lastname for over a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostSurprise Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Julia. One of my favorite girl's names as a child. I would love to be Julia. Past names were a mixed bag but almost all good. Flora (love it). Esther (huh)? Etta (like it). Tabitha (love it). I'd be happy with many of these names. I'm not as happy with the (very popular) nickname I went by as a child. Harper isn't so bad, but the rest are pretty common as well (Lisa, Tina, Heather). Dh: Luca ..... hilarious DS: exactly the same DS: Thomas DS: Malcolm DS: Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I would be Francesca, which is ok but I really dislike the nicknames "Frannie" and "Chessie". It's the best option on my list. Most of them are kre8tiv spellings (Kari, Melisa, Shavonne) or really "out there" (Vesta, Orpha, Lavinia). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butter Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I'd be Ava. I hate the name Ava. I'll stick with Heather even though it was the 5th most popular name the year I was born :) My daughter (Anastasia, #295) would be Amiyah. My oldest son (Cameron, #35) would be Owen. My middle son (Frederick, #432) would be Lawrence. My youngest (Adrian, #56) would be Nicholas. I'm most amused by the Frederick/Lawrence combination. He's named after my grandfather. One of my grandfather's brothers was named Lawrence! My husband goes by his middle name, but his first name (which was the #1 name the year he was born) would be Noah.
