Anyone want to play?

The baby name game? lol. I know I can just google and look and lists and lists of names - but if you feel like just post some girl/boy names. I don't like the super popular names usually but also don't like anything TOO weird. I just need ideas in general. :o)

 

Re: Anyone want to play?

  • Oh, and I guess I'll start.

    I like Keely for a girl, and Kian for a boy ... but I'm not even close to 100% on either of them. 

  • Well our boy and girl names are Samuel and Audrey.

    if you like K sounding names...

    girls:

    Kaydence, Kelsey, Kylie, Kendra, Chloe, Carissa

    boys:

    Colin, Cory,  Kyle

    I love the name Audrey! I have a cousin with that name. And thanks for the suggestions! 

  • I love Keely, but I think I like it spelled Keeley... not that it matters, hah.

    Kian is NMS, but it's not bad. :)

    Other ideas....

  • For some reason, I think we are going to stick to older names for our kids. ie Timothy Joseph(it's also a family name).

    When we were thinking of names, I didn't really think of boy names because I was convinced Terry would want to name him after him(Terrence Joseph R. III) but he didn't. So I only thought of girl names. Here is what I liked:

     Isabella(this was WAY before Twilight came out and Terry actually liked it but I dont know if we'll use it because of the popularity now), Olivia, Sophia(I loved this name, but Terry hated it), Grace(more of a middle name), Hailey, Kailyn, Savannah(this was one of my grams fav places to visit and I loved the way it sounded), Brooklynn. There were more but thats enough lol. Whatever we would choose for a girl will have to go with the middle name of MaryAnn or a close version of that because we are giving her a middle name from my grandmothers names(Mary, Annette, and Terry's grandma(whose still alive) is named Marietta)

     I think if we have a boy next time, we are going to continue on with the use of family names. His grandfather's name was John, mine was George. We have a Gail(both my grandpa and uncle are named Gail). I know there are other ones but I also like Ethan, Caleb, Connor, Gabriel, Michael, Noah, Andrew(I swear I wasn't looking at a bible when typing these out lmao)

  • And IMO, the name Kian is going to get mispronounced ALL.THE.TIME. Its not common at all. Is it Irish?

    (I don't even know how to pronounce it, someone wanna help me out?)

    Ditto, and this is actually why I said it's NMS. 

    I'm usually really good at guessing name pronunciations, and this one stumps me.  I'm guessing Key-an but I don't know.

    I agree, my guess for pronunciation is key-an, but I'm guessing most people would pronounce is K-eye-an

    (I don't even know how to pronounce it, someone wanna help me out?)

    Yes, it's Irish. Key-an. I still like it ... maybe because its so uncommon. My name is always mispronounced so I guess that doesn't seem like a big deal to me. People always add extra a's to mine. lol. 

  • Your name is at least more common... even if it doesn't have an extra 'a' in it.

    Kian is a little out there... that's just my opinion. :) I can see a ton of mispronounciations with it. I mean, if someone can manage to butcher Nichole and Tamra... Kian doesn't stand a chance.

  • I guess I just don't think its anymore out there or hard to pronounce than any other irish name ... ainsley/liam/aidan as examples. But I appreciate seeing it from another point of view :o)

    I like it. I don't think it would be mispronounced all that much. Key-an was the first thing that came to mind for me, too.
