Names & Perception

[Hamletmaschine]

When people I didn't even know began PMing me begging me to get rid of Jerry, I had to do something.

And Emma is my fave, of course.

Nice of you to consider the father's wishes in the naming ritual, GEG.

I'm sure he would defer to your wishes, however, if he had any sense.

Ha! Yes, well, I try not to be a cast iron bitch all the time. Sometime I am a velvet covered bitch.

There you go again, Hamlet.

I named my son Zachary and one of my daughters Emily. I went back and forth with Emma and Emily. I call her both now and Em and Emmie.

There you go again, ruby.

My son's name is also Zachary. My daughter is Victoria, but Emily was a *very* close second for me. I'm holding on to it for my next daughter, when she comes along.

Other good boys names are Joshua and, of course, Jimmie.

I'm fond of Ophelia, too, for a girl, though I'd never give my daughter that name and have her hate me forever!


Names that fill me with horror are Samantha (nightmares!!) and any of the cutesy "fad" names I see cropping up all over the place.

 

[Silverlily]

Emily and Grace always make me smile. I like Claire too, if I ever have another girl, that will be her name. I am also partial to Patricks.

The name Christina and any varition grates on me. No offence to those carrying the name, but I have yet to meet one I like in RL.

 

[JennyOmanHill]

There aren't really names that I don't like, especially if I can connect them to people I know.

All the meaningful people in MY life have (had) names that begin with the letter J . I love them all!

 

[Starblayde]

For ethnic names (read:Indian)
Megha,

I know a Megha.... and she's an absolute babe

 

[HotXBunz]

For girls, I like Laura, Lara, Laurel. I named my daughter one of these and have never met one in RL that wasn't a sweetie.

I don't have any real "likes" for male names but one that urks my nurts is Derk.

 

[Horny Hippie Girl]

Girls: Hannah, Shannon, Anita (that last one is a family name)
Boys: Ethan, Emmett, Noah

My father-in-law's name is Wally, and I think that sounds exceedingly silly. I really despise the name Betty. I can't say why...cause I don't know...

 

[Laurel]

Hmmmm.....could Laurel be pregnant?

!! I freaking hope not...

I've always liked the name Summer, because I've had two friends named Summer and both were really genuinely nice people. I like the name Garth for a guy because I knew a cool Garth once.

I hate Judy on principle because a Judy used to pull my hair in 2nd grade. I hate Roger because Roger used to call me 'boobless' in 7th grade.

 

[SpaceToast]

Names are funny like that, Laurel. I had a Miranda in my class growing up, who was most unpleasant, so I always had a bad association with "Miranda." I read "The Tempest," and swallowed "Miranda" because I liked Tempest. Earlier this year I chanced to meet a cute Miranda, and now I think it looks like a rather nice name-

[SXCRgirl]

Names that make me cringe... well, I better not say.

 

[Rambling Rose]

Laurel, you're still boobless.

 

[lavender]

 

[Laurel]

Laurel, you're still boobless.

I know. Things change, and things stay the same.

 

[LauraSG]

Female name: Bonnie. My first bi encounter, and still my

Male name: Taylor. My first crush. What can I stay. Sticks with you

 

[Sateema Lunasi]

The male name Alex makes me smile cause it is my sweetie's name.

The female name Catherine makes me smile because I have two best friends named Catherine and Katherine.

The name Mary makes me cringe. I have known four women named Mary and they were all psychos. Evil, deranged psychos.

 

[LauraSG]

Typhoid Mary too. Scary stuff.

 

[Svedish_Chef]

What female name makes you smile? Why?

Emily, Wednesday, Elizabeth, Kate, Kirsten, Rachel

What male name makes you smile? Why?


What male & female names makes you cringe? Why?

 

[MechaBlade]

I like certain names, but that's actually personal for me, so I won't list them.

I cringe at names when they are horrible, or boys with girls names or girls with boys names.

I also dislike the valley girlish sounding names sometimes, but not always.

 

[scylis]

Gretchen makes me both smile and cry.

i'm partial to Galen for a male name.
