QotD 10/3
If this was the future and you could name your child anything you wanted, without fear of teasing and funny looks, what would it be?
Re: QotD 10/3
H and I have agreed on Charlotte Marie for a little girl. Nickname Charlie.
Charleigh is spelled too differently, and I like the idea of a more feminine full name so if she doesn't like Charlie later, that's okay.
And jake is out because I live near about a million different Hutterite colonies and everyone and their dog is jake. And FIL's dog is jake.
We used to like Jack as a first name for a boy, but I'm not set on that anymore.
We have names picked. For a boy we would use Samuel Joseph. For a girl we would use Cecelia Rose or Anna May.
I do have guilty pleasure names. Boys would have to be Luke (doesn't go at all with our last name), and girl would be Anastasia (thanks 50 shades for killing that for me) or I love Daphne and Cordelia but H hates them.
We named our first son Theodore William after H's grandfathers so our next boy will be after my grandfathers. However, my Poppop's real name is Henrico and I can't bring myself to name my child Henrico so he will be Henry William (yes we both had Bills as grandfathers!).
If our next is a girl, she'll be Courtney Noelle. If T had been a girl, he would have been Courtney. I also like Hailey.
I love Biblical names too, but probably wouldn't use them IRL..
Some of my faves are:
Hezekiah, Ezekiel, Enoch, Malachai, Micah (for a girl), Atarah
Names we are actually considering for this one:
Raine Elizabeth or William Raine/Raine William - Raine is a family name from my side and Elizabeth is both my mothers middle name and my DH's deceased aunt's name, and William is also a family name on both sides.

My favourite name is Nora. My grandmother's name was Norma which is a little old fashioned for me but it's similar and I love it. DH doesn't like Nora, and there's also the issue that we live in Quebec so we have to choose a name that people will pronounce well in French. Names that end in -a tend to be pronounced badly, so it would sound like Nor-uh which is awful. lol
@heightdeprived, I also love Charlotte, but it's another name that DH dislikes so I'm not sure if it will happen! I picture a little girl with brown hair and blue eyes nicknamed Charlie and it melts my heart!
