Its a Girl!

Congrats!Do her a favor, though. Name her something that's normal where you're from. There's a reason the "classic" names don't go out of style, and one of the reasons is that a lot of those names have built-in diminutives, so that you have something to call her as a child but something she can call herself as an adult. It is, of course, up to you - which is the supremely unfair part about having a name.

I will repeat it anyway I know that will be another problem with my family sigh...anyway thank you all for the help I am now considering Lorna and Julia.anyone else have ideas?This message has been edited by DC85, 05-25-2004 04:52 PM

Great news!I think that girls should never be called by a name that would sound silly if she was running for office, like Bunny or Kiki or Amber.A cute little girl will grow up into a woman someday and will appreciate having a name that doesn't sound like she's a bimbo or a kid.Personally, I really like the name Zoe for a woman, which is from the Greek, maning "life".

Be sure to go through all possible shortenings and nicknames. You have to like them too.My brother is Andrew after my grandfather and my Mum hates "Andy" for a nickname so we called him "Drew" from day one and that is what has stuck.Julie? Jules? Lorn? etc.

I thought kimi meant you in Japanese. Unless you meant to put Kimie.Nevermind I looked it up more and i found out it can be used as a name.This message has been edited by I Can't Remember, 05-26-2004 12:46 AM

Congratulations.What's your surname? Can't really comment on good names without knowing what they go with - or you end up with wonders like Peter Enius (which, believe it or not, is a real name) or Wayne King.

There was a girl in my school called "Amanda Mount."Poor, poor thing...

Hey! Congradulations on your little girl.I had my boy 2 1/2 years ago and it was the best *surprise* of my life.I'm one of those people who think names are extremely important and I prefer the less common ones. My son's name is Phoenix Alejandro. Phoenix after Joaquin Phoenix (and because it would be an excellent name for when he's pitching in the World Series haha), and Alejandro was chosen so he would always remember his latino roots.My favorite girl names are:Elora - as in Elora Dannon from the movie Willow (I've only heard that name used once before); Greek for 'of the sea,' and Hebrew for 'God is light.'Amani - she was a girl I knew in school; Arabic origin meaning 'wishes.'Rhiannon - from the song; Celtic for 'great queen,' and English for 'goddess of fertility and the moon.'Quinn - another girl from high school; no real meaning, appears to derive from a Celtic surname.I also think it's very important to choose a name she can live with as a woman. Good luck and I hope the next few months remain happy for all involved.
