If you were to have children, what name do you pick?

avalanche, this means we're meant to make babies together. Though I don't intend to have children (at least not my own - biological), I do have some favorite names.

For the girls list, Lorelei is one of them. Also, Evelyn, Jocelyn, Julianna, Ainsley, Iris, Emerson

Boys list *shrug* I don't really know. Their names aren't as pretty most of the time. I like Julian, Alastair, Brody, Jude, Ezra, Everett

Boy: Landon
Girl: Ellie

Girl names (in order of preference):
1. Melanie
2. Sarah (Sara, if it were my ex-SO's daughter)
3. Julia

Boy names:
None! LOL. Probably would name them after a family member.

Then if there's any excess I'd reach into my Bag of Stripper Names and pick one at random:

the sad part is I know two people with names out of the random stripper bag. haha

Well here are the names I had picked out... several years ago.

Girl
* Emma Autumn

Boy
* Thomas Cristian

One of the girl's I went to school with's middle name was Blaize I always thought that would be a pretty name...especially for a redhead.

I won't be having kids, but the name I would have chosen for a girl is Ursula.

The really sad thing is that - and this is my theory - guys who have wives that get pregnant and then go to a strip club after conception but prior to birth are, in my opinion, 1000% more likely to name their daughter after their favorite stripper. It's one of those Freudian things I guess. But yeah, I know an Amber, Candy, Mercedes, and "Krystal with a 'K.'" They all definitely fit the "Daddy named me after a stripper" theory, but I hope that your friends are sane!

Oh wow, want to make a baby girl together? We could name her Ellaine and call her Ellie/Elly for short. =S


Also, somewhat unrelated, what's up with all the British names from you Americans? Yes, I'm looking at you, Aero.

They're British? All of them, or just some?
*Shrug* Those have all been favorites of mine for a few years now.

I love the name Julian! I don't know if I'd have the guts to name my kid that, though, just because I can see him being picked on because it can seem girly. You know...Julianne? Julian? a little too close. Kids can be mean.

If I have a boy I might name him Jimmy. I always liked that name. Unless the father's last name is Jones then maybe Michael or something creative. For a girl I'm thinking Kiana.
