Well, I'd rather not conceive at the moment, because I'm not even married, lol. But I'm in love with names, and I make my boyfriend talk with me about them all the time. I wouldn't be with him if I wasn't planning on marrying him, and I want to know what type of names I can get excited about lol.
I like more unique names, and he only really likes names that every other kid has, so it's hard to find names we both like. But, finally, I have names that both my boyfriend and I like and are therefore names that, if I marry him, will actually be probables for my children.
Girls:
- Madelyn
- Charlotte
- Ayla
- Jasmine
Boys:
- Jack
- Coby
Jack is the only boy's name he ever really says he likes. It's growing on me. He has relunctantly agreed to Soleil Esther (my absolute favourite girl's name), so I guess I can reluctantly agree to Jack.
We were talking to one of his friend's once, who mentioned that people he knew had recently had a baby called Coby (he was telling us as if it was a really strange name). At the same time, I said "Awww, Coby!" and my boyfriend said "Coby? That's cool." We looked at each other and were like "Did we just find a name we both like?" I think if we do have a Coby, though, he'll be Jacob and we'll call him Coby. Coby is a diminuitive form of Jacob anyway, and it just seems more respectable for a lawyer or doctor or whatever.
Madelyn and Charlotte are his two favourite girls names of those four. Really he just likes Maddy (or Maddie), and so I chose Madelyn over any of the other possibilities for that nickname. Actually, I liked both Madeleine and Madelyn, and he said Madelyn was the best.
Ayla and Jasmine are my two favourites of that list. I suggested Ayla, and he liked it because a girl, named Ayla, who he went to school with got cancer in their last year, and she was really inspiring.
Other names I'm working on (haha) are:
Willeke (pronounced Will-a-kah). I would call her Willa. I actually really like the name Willow, but my boyfriend's last name has an 'O' sound, and it wouldn't work. He hasn't said he doesn't like the name Willeke, and one of his best friends is Dutch (it's a Dutch name, it was actually his friend's mum who told me how to spell it), so I think it's a possibility.
Zachary. Obviously not if we have a Jack. But he likes Jack and Max, so I figure he likes "ack" sounds, haha.
Jairus. It's my favourite boy's name. He likes the 'us' sound.
Two girl's names that I've fallen in love with recently are Eva and Mila. Eva, apparently, means "to live (to breathe)" and it sounds like a breath. I think I might get Mila because he thinks the actress Mila Kunis is really pretty. I haven't asked him about either of those yet, though.
On a side note, Jewie, I had to laugh when I read your list, because my boyfriend's name is Angus and his sister's name was Gretel until she had it changed legally to Esther. I couldn't believe that there was another couple in the world that actually liked both those names, lol.
) and it's almost unheard of over here. Could be a good choice...especially since I have a short surname.
