  • Most surnames and occupation names are NMS so I wouldn't use Piper or Maxfield. Not a fan of Bowen for the same reason. Sounds like a last name to me. I like the sound of Anja, but not how it looks. I prefer Anya. I like Austin a lot. Ginger just makes me think of a redhead, but I would never give a redhead that name.

    I could hold you for a million years
    To make you feel my love.

  • I like the name Piper but it's my dog's name (border collie lab mix) and it also reminds me of Charmed (although Piper was always my favorite sister). My cousin named his second son Austin but I never really liked it that much anyway and all of the other ones I'm kinda meh about.
  • ^That's what I was trying to think of, the Charmed association. Lol
