Names
Another question about names again. This time, the ones you'd favor for any hypothetical children of yours.

I like pretty old-fashioned names, like Sally or Lily for a girl or Saul for a boy -- yes, those are all supporting characters in Rex Stout novels. Shut up and tell me yours.

	Well, I've always been a fan of the classic names. Joshua, Jacob, Michelle, Miranda. Stuff like that. Although I would not be against a kid named after my parents. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I like names that are uncommon. Cordelia, for a girl. I've always thought it was pretty and old fashioned. This next name is not so uncommon, but for a boy, John. For my grandfather. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Cordelia is nice. And family names are good. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Ezio, Alexander, or Jacob for boys. For girls? I try not to think on it too seriously. It's always been traditional in my family for women to select the names for any girls. But I like Rosemary, Hannah, and Crystal for girls personally so maybe I can convince someone else to like them. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Alexander's one that gives a lot of flexibility. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm all for naming kids after important people in my life. For a boy, Steve, after my father (yeah, and the bowhead, too). Though I've always liked Elizabeth for a girl's name. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Nicholas for a boy. Alice for girl. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-10-25 06:06 am UTC (link)
	Alice would be flattered. I would consider naming my daughter Alice as long as 'Auntie' would be her godmother. It's vital that a little girl has strong role models in her life. Nicholas is a good name no matter how you slice it up. You have good taste in names. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	boosted_gold 2010-10-25 03:31 am UTC (link)
	I like the name Alexis for a girl, or John for a boy. They're going to be raised in the future, so the boy won't have any problems with pop culture references to his name. (Reply to this)(Thread)
