Ha!
I'm telling Darcy (the boy)
phuck off
darcy is my boys name, pretty obvious where i got that from...
also
rory - boy
ophelia - girl
i really like tigerlily too....
whenever i say it people just tell me "ITS A BOYS NAME!!!!!"
but i think it makes a really nice girls name also
yeah, it does sound quite cool as a girls name too i suppose
kind of American sounding
george!
if im really unlucky and have three boys
i think geoirge might be my boys name
*george
rory is a girls name!
well, not really. But always for me.
there was a boy at school called rory
he had good arms, i've never known of a girl called rory.
i think it sounds quite cool though, cute when they are little and strong sounding when older..
it's really not!
rory/lorelai gilmore
4ever.
hmm
I thought Ophelia was one of those names no-one would choose, because of its connotations of suicide, madness and victimhood... from Hamlet and subsequent paintings and other art.
thats one of the reasons i like the name so much
there is so much beautiful imagery associated with it.
plus its pretty :)
emo!
;)
boy will be wolfie or casper
girl will be something geldof-esque
sadpunk
Dean
THE END OF DOOM
:D
If I ever have kids...
Dante for a boy, and I can't think of a decent girls name.
too too easy
How is that too easy?
I don't know many people called Dante...
do you know ANYONE named dante?"!
Kind of
My friends have just named their child Dante. Best name ever.
I meant it was too easy
to make a gag about the fact you want to call a boy Dante but can't think of a decent girls name
At the moment
Eleanor Dylan for a girl (will be known as Dylan)
Cole Arthur for a boy
Roly Poly
Stukka
The Conqueror
RUAIRIDH
we've just had this thread
Seamus
and another name that is my perfect baby name and i can't divulge it because of baby-name stealy types and that
i'm not having kids though.
Hughey
Dewey, and Lewey
*pooey
oi!
BOY = Tripod
GIRL = Chylamidia
my mum, being a child psycholofgist has seen some funny named kids
including 1 family with daughters called ocean storm, and winter breeze. and their son........................budweiser!
no word of a lie.
id call my daughter robyn, duno about a boy, maybe spartacus
-
Boy - Skeletor
Girl - Teela
,
Tyler
Kyla
tristan
noah
and capian
maybe...
WOOO MIDDLE CLASS R US
Captain maybe
caspian
oops
I think about this way too much
And am kinda fussy
Boys:
Jesse
Wyatt (so I possibly should watch fewer Westerns)
Girls:
Laurel
Blair (in honour of GUESS WHO)
and maybe Noëlle and Linnet. But not so much.
And that's literally every name in existence I like to any degree.
What about Angel Eyes?
What about them..?
BLAIR?
You sicko.
Oh, it is SO happening
...not after Dr. Jesse?
Maybe
or Jesse from Before Sunrise/Sunset, or from the Gilmore Girls, or Yu-Gi-Oh.
There's so many to choose from.
Linda Blair?
Lionel?
Leonard
Dr. Chuckles
Satan
Hot Shot
Mister Frisky
hi
reece, maureece and ethen with maureece as a middle name.
yuck
Amelie Mica Pickering
first born girl. I had a full list, but I've forgotten the combination of first and middle names.
actually
that sounds good in my head, but written down looks a bit shit. Hmmm.
this is quite sad as I've already thought about this ALOT but anyways.
Clementine
&
Dylan
i'm stealing
Clementine.
Roy
Cat Puncher
NOM NOM
Lord Mibbles
LOLington!
CAPTAIN ROFLINGTON
I like Elliott for a boy or girl
Thats about as kooky as I'd get though. I've always liked the name Niamh too.
That said, I'd like to have a daugther called Jennifer after my Dad's mum who died when he was a kid
ergh
Darcy is such a horrible American high school type name.
Woody, for a boy (obviously).
Bowie
My daughters
are called Hope and Isobel.
and yes I am a big Mazzy Star / Bel and Seb fan.
i plan to name my children after puntuation marks
; for a girl and ' for a boy.
alternatively, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116
it just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?
real answer:
i quite like lewis, andrew and anthony (but NOT tony) for boys and sophie and hazel for girls.
fascinating.
I've always though
Charlotte was a pretty name, so I'd be inclined to use that for a girl. For a boy it'd have to be something football-related, though I'd imagine Eric and Cristiano are non-starters.
Dunno
I like Zoe, Emily and Anna for a girl.
I used to like Ben for a boy, but then I met thewarn, so that's out now. Same with Bamos.
I might just call him Sam after me. Or RapMaster 3000.
Last year at a festival
I met a mum, dad and baby all called Sam :o)
Excellent work
"return to your homes, and to your places of bus-iness-es"
:D
There's no sneaking a reference past you, is there?
:D
Nope!
Darcy is a good girls name too
Like as in Darcy Bussel.
I also like Ophelia though.
DARCEY
DARCEY Bussell.
(BUSSELL)
My sons ARE called
Troy and Callum
i love callum
^
is that irish? i seem to love all irish boys' names.
yes it is irish
THeir great grandmama complained about The name Troy and hoped we would christen him a good god fearing name.....but we didn't.
I did however tell their names to 4 corners of the earth and the winds on top glastonbury tor and chucked some water on em, so I have 'named' them ritualistically.
you can rearrange the letters in that to:
all cum
Just realised that Creakyknees's son
IS called Callum. I'm really sorry, I should read spawn posts first :-S
Fieldy's Nuts
MUNKY!
Rivers & Leaves.
Pearson if I have a boy
and Nigel Pearson if I have a girl.
I hope it's a girl. Or a boy
Gla(a)ynche for a girl
William V1.01 for a boy.
...
i want to reclaim Paris as a boy's name...
as for girls umm Cordelia...to keep up the Shakespeare theme with less madness...
I worked
with a girl with the surname Kenhard. We tried our best to get her to call her son Fu.
Smee
Im having a boy
called sebastian. he'll wear dungarees.
hasn't this been done?
anyway, Oscar, Elliot, Joshua for boys
Annabel, Marianne/Mary-Anne for girls
um...
Kerouac (shortens to Kes) for a boy
Rose-Willow for a girl
Possibly
Ruan/Francis for a boy
Mia for a girl
Damn
What happened the classics, like Jack and Sarah?
These names all reek of a certain background. Not that that's bad, but I wouldn't want my kids to introduce themselves and instantly be labelled from a certain class just because of their name. Names do influence first impressions like that.
I hope a lot of these people
don't breed. Some of the names are on par with Chardonnay, Prada etc that get ripped apart on here.
Aye, it is a bit hypocritical
Names that are self-consciously 'different' tend to just come across as either pretentious, snobbish, or crass.
There are a few exceptions, but they are rare. Dylan seems to be one of those, can go either way.
and not Kerouac?
Kerouac?
Even I'm not that pretentious!
Luca
as in the Brand New song / dog from the Barleycorn pub.
I don't have any boys names I like really
And only really want girls anyway.
Charlotte (known as Charlie)
Harriot (known as Harry)
Elliot
I've just realised that these all end in 'Ott' and that two are linked with the royal family but oh well.
GALACTICSTAR3RUPTION
GALACTICSTAR3RUPTIONELLA

Elsewhere
thank fuck
