My Names

the names that I want to call my kids. wondering what other people think. too weird? middle names are all colours.
  1. Elex
    • Jamie
      • Origin:

        Diminutive of James
      • Meaning:

        "supplanter"
      • Description:

        The cool form of James in the 1970s and '80s for both sexes. Still a more stylish short form than Jimmy, though many parents will want to call James by his entire, not-very-long name.
    • Jex
      • Origin:

        English surname derived from Jacques
      • Description:

        Decidedly offbeat name that combines jauntiness with that uber-cool X, and would certainly set your son up for life outside the mainstream.
    • Liir
      • River
        • Origin:

          Nature name
        • Description:

          Most of the notable Rivers have been male, but this nature name certainly flows as well for a girl. The name River is still rising for both genders, with about 3500 baby boys receiving the name last year vs. 1900 baby girls.
      • Ruth
        • Origin:

          Hebrew
        • Meaning:

          "compassionate friend"
        • Description:

          Ruth, with its air of calm and compassion, was the third most popular name in the 1890s, remaining in the Top 10 through the 1920s. It's still in use today as some parents tiring of Rachel and Rebecca are giving Ruth a second thought. Some see such Old Testament girls’ names as Ruth and Esther rising on the heels of boy equivalents Abel and Moses.
