Hi all, long time no talk! You may remember me, have three sons and was expecting my first daughter. I like unusual names, and I loved the name Clover for years and years but this year, right when...

I disagree with people saying you should ask her about it first. I say don't use it and don't even ask. Look - I see in your signature that you've got several names that you like for a girl, and...

First thought that popped into my head with Rylant - Soylent Green. I also disagree that it's more feminine than Ryland. Ryland is soft unisex leaning feminine I think, Rylant sounds very hard and...

Husband's friend dated a girl named Miracle four years ago. It's okay.

There was a real life gangster in the 1920s named Lucky Luciano. He's a character in the historical fiction HBO show Boardwalk Empire. Luciano was his last name in real life, his first name was...

I'm a 30 year old Abigail! The whole time growing up I think I only met one or two other Abigails/Abbys. Now they're all over!

Like Revel, Fleet and Vox. Fleet would be my favorite, except for the enema thing, which I didn't even think about until you brought it up but now you can't un-think it, ykwim? Vox is very cool and...

I think if Capri has a lot of special meaning you should still use it. It seems to work as well as any of the other choices you listed. Keep it!

Annapurna is nice, but anything Anne related not only sounds too close to our last name, but my husband dated an Ann. Hope someone else finds Annapurna, it's really neat!



Hmmm, no I don't...

Oh also, I kept bugging my husband about names last night, and I think he put his official veto on Holiday :(. He really dislikes it for some reason! I'm sure if I really really loved it I could...

alexp, Wednesday is an awesome name/inspiration! Interestingly enough, my c-section is scheduled for a Wednesday, but it's scheduled only two days before my due date and I've never had to wait that...

Oh no, I'm not still considering/talking about Clover, I was just talking about names starting with the letter "O." I'm just worried that all the names starting with "O" blend into each other. ...

Thanks, thuja, you're right. Winter sounds warm to me, too, alexp, but isn't it one of the trendiest names on here? And before Nicole Richie used it for her daughter, I thought it sounded better on...

In my opinion, the biggest trend in baby names right now is pretty sounds. This is especially true for girls. I abandoned my old favorite girl name of Clover because it is made up of several pretty...

No, she's not due in November, she's due in December, but I do like the name November. Plus my husband's father had a twin sister and they were born in November, but she passed away in 2006. Her...

You got the composer right, but none of my kids are named after deities. I might have said I wish I could change my oldest son Eli's name to Neptune perhaps, or that I considered Neptune for my...

Huh! This thread has been really helpful so far! Using Lady as a nn for Holiday - I freakin' LOVE that! And I hadn't even imagined that Goldie could be a nn for Topaz, but you know what? It...

Ha ha, yeah I'm not that into cinnamon-flavored stuff right now, though she's due early in the holiday season, which is a time of year when many treats are made with cinnamon. I actually had a...

Funny thing is, Holiday is the one that my husband is most strongly against!

I guess in some cases a non-object noun would work, like Holiday fits the bill for that. I like day and month and season names, too. Month names I actually really like, and my favorites would have...

Thanks so far guys. In all my name reasearch I discovered I only really love noun names for girls, and one of the things I like about Cinnamon is the potential nn Minnie, so I do like Cinnamon over...

Oh my gosh, here I am in my third trimester, and I'm in the full-on baby name blahs. I have two top contenders - one I don't want to even hint at because it's been getting too many hits on here...

Thanks everyone. Especially blade, your post was analyzing the name using the element I think is the most influential in baby names right now, especially girl names - phonetics.

I think I'm...

I think Olive is never going to be nearly as popular as Olivia, or most of the names on your signature list for that matter. It might be like Eve, another one in your signature, which I still think...

Olive Barrymore Kopelman! I thought she'd go with something more floral and rare. In fact, back when I was loving Marigold, I thought that was the perfect name for her. Olive is very cute and...
