Lucifer

I think that name is under copyright. ...owns all the lawyers ... has other means ... not sure ... is such a good idea

Let's just say, he can make it HOT for you.

 

[Wicked-N-Erotic]

I like the name Summer, Tammy is kinda plain and ordinary.

I was going to name my first daughter Summer Dawn but her father wouldn't hear of it.

Then I was going to name my second daughter Autumn Brooke, but again he didn't like that name either. So, we ended up with a Jessica Nicole and Danielle Hope.

If I'd of had a boy he would have been Dalton Garrett

My neighbor has a girl named Tequilla

Merci, Charlus. I prefer to hear it from a bloke though (a particular bloke with a particular accent, hahaha).

I don't know what I would have chose for my name but it wouldn't be what my parents chose: Matthew. There's way too many guys around named the same as me.

But I do have other names at work, 'that pain in the ass' or 'the asshole' are the most common. But that's the price you pay for being the boss sometimes.

I named my daughters Katerina and Gabriella. Love the names and you don't hear them every two minutes.

I went to the zoo a few weeks ago with my daughter and if you yelled Jacob or Emma half the kids would have come running!

I'm like you about names. I didn't want to name my kids anything weird, but didn't want half the kids at school to have the same one.

Felicia Lynn
Trey (short for the third, of course)
Casey Lucas

(my husband doesn't realize it, but I got Casey's name from that Grateful Dead song )

What would you have liked to be called:
I hated my name as a child, but now all grown up I am proud to be named after a soft core porn for bored housewives...aka Romance Novel: Shanna by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss
What would you name your children (if you don't have any).
Deva Ann (will be my first daughter)
Avery Theodore (will be my first son)
What's the coolest name you ever heard. Or maybe the weirdest?
Perigreen, for alittle boy born several months ago. After the first child born to the Pilgrams after landing in the US...I think it's horrid, it wouldn't have been so bad if the baby was a girl....but PERIGREEN?! FOR A BOY!?

 

[gothgodess]

there are lots of names I like. I have an interest in traditional names and love to look up old celtic names for a story I am working on but my two faves are below.

I always wanted to call my little girl Rosey. I love that name it is so happy and sunny. She is called Jasmine for one reason I married a Mr Lee and being a brit I thought it would be cruel.

When growning up I hated my middle name Margaret but when my mum explained why I now love it My step Uncles and Aunts were bell ringers at the local church and they rang the St Margaret's peel at my christening.

 

[bg23]

Be fun, though, to name your kids that, hey?

Girl: Lucifera

Boy: Lucifer

Then you call out LUCE! And the little devils both come running.

Wouldn't it be fun to call your girls April June and May?

And for the boys...

Julius, Augustus, Octavius?

Think the kids would shoot me as soon as they were old enough, though.

 

[Belegon]

Once knew a girl named April who went ahead and took her husbands last name as her own despite the unfortunate result. Name after the wedding, April May.

I don't mind my name. It is more common than I would prefer, but that makes sense considering the time of my birth. Lots of famous people with my first name around 1964-65. Burton, Harris, Nixon. My brother was named after Sean Connery.

When I was growing up, the quickest way to get in a fight with me was to call me "Dick". I never understood how that came to be out of "Richard". Have the same sense of wonder with "Jack" coming from "John". "Billy" from "William". There are plenty of examples of this out there.

It no longer bothers me.

 

[alyxen]

Although my name is a bit on the bland side, I was named after my grandfather, so it works just fine; Michael. Of course it took forever when learing to write my name to remember if it was ae or ea

My favorate name for a son would be Michael Alexander. I've always loved the name Alexander.

One of my favs for a girl would be Ora. Just unique and easy to spell.

The best humorous name I have ever seen was a guy named Warren Peace.

It is nice to have a choice.

In France there are officially 'approved' names so many of them get used in combinations to give indidividuality - Jean-Marc; Jean-Christophe; Ann-Marie; etc.

In parts of rural Wales when I was young, first born boys always took their father's name and sometimes added 'ap' as a surname. So Thomas would be the son of Thomas who was the son of Thomas and so on.

As a small child I was fascinated by the name of my elderly neighbour. His usual name (the name he used for official documents) was Thomas Thomas Thomas. He was usually called 'Tommy Thrice'. His full real name was chanted by the whole family on his birthday. It went something like this:

"Thomas Thomas the second son of Thomas the Baker who moved to Holyhead, son of Thomas the Baker last in (insert unpronounceable Welsh village); son of Thomas the Baker who first used gas in his ovens; son of Thomas who made good pastries; and so on back to the Flood.

All good Welsh pedigrees go back to the Flood or to a link into a known pedigree that DOES go back to the flood.

Useless fact: Did you know the Her Majesty the Queen's ancestry includes Woden, Thor and Venus? Oh, and a few Roman Emperors, both winners and losers in the Trojan War, - and (whisper it quietly) probably one or two Popes?

Me - as Og I'm my own ancestor. I was there before Noah.

LOL Og.
Alot of americans believe think that a long time ago was the trip across the pond. my anscesters came across on the mayflower and with them they brought the family name of 'Pitt'.

All males in our family had the first or middle name of Pitt. I swore if i had a boy... the tradition would end with me.. I had girls... so it did end with me.
i cant say im sorry.

 

[pixiesjuice]

Choosing names for our sons nearly caused all out war in our house, in the end we named our eldest, Anthony, after my other half's father and Lewis for the island i come from. With our second son i fell in love with the name Oran; i think that's when the arguments really started but when he was born, he just looked like a Luke, middle name Alexander.

Boys names... Noah, Cullen, Oran, Magnus... know a couple of Magnus's from Orkney.

Girls names... Briony, Niamh, Aoife, Eilidh

Ogg, I'd bet most of European royalty are related to a pope or two.

Svenskachick might have something to contribute on this one.

I met a fine fellow from Stockholm when I was ten or eleven. He was called Anders Eng. There was a computer program.

Too many people with the same last name in the 'phone book, so you could use the program, which took Swedish name elements and recombined them in a random-like way, I suppose, although not having written the code I couldn't say. Anders had done that and then changed his name to match the suggestion.

My name is Thomas, and I hate it. Has nothing to do with my father though. Luckily, in the area where I live (and of course in the generation that I belong too) few people name the children after the father.
But I'm bored to death with Thomas though. Stupid name.
And in germany you don't even use the short form Tom, it's not that common.
My friends call me Thommy though, I can live with that.

And to a few pre-Christian Gods, Goddesses and minor deities.

I suppose it is a contradiction that the Head of the Anglican Church is descended from Woden, Thor and Venus but it does provide continuity.
