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

Yeah, all the bolded names are British (and/or popular British names). :D "Iris" is Greek, however it's probably still a relatively common English name. Actually, I thought Brody was British, but it says it's Scottish. Evelyn is probably a Gaelic derivative of the Slavic form "Evelin." But yeah, my doggy's name is Evelyn.

Interesting names though. ;P

My neighbor's name's Julian. I believe it's a hypocoristic form of his first name, "Jules," like in Jules Verne.

I like boy's names for girls, like Leighton , Taylor, Toni ect:
I would call my boy Nathan.

Males:

Harbinger

Sovereign

Cthulhu

Moloch

Leviathan

Legion

Behemoth

Abaddon

Archon

Bob

Evelyn is my grandmothers middle name. It's awesome. Thanks for providing me with the origins though!

Kids can be mean. But I have a feeling that with the names people are coming up with these days (at least in my area) than any child with an original name (James, Brian, John, Matt, Sarah, Lauren, etc) are going to be in for some 'hard times' in the next 10 years or so. Well, maybe not. But you never know!

It's a pretty name.

Freakonomics actually predicted the most popular baby names of 2015:

Girls' / Boys'
Annika / Aidan
Ansley / Aldo
Ava / Anderson
Avery / Ansel
Aviva / Asher
Clementine / Beckett
Eleanor / Bennett
Ella / Carter
Emma / Cooper
Fiona / Finnegan
Flannery / Harper
Grace / Jackson
Isabel / Johan
Kate / Keyon
Lara / Liam
Linden / Maximilian
Maeve / McGregor
Marie-Claire / Oliver
Maya / Reagan
Philippa / Sander
Phoebe / Sumner
Quinn / Will
Sophie
Waverly

I don't think any of them have shown up in this thread thus far. You are all quite an original bunch, apparently.

Boys:
Vincent
Leland
Jasper
Dorian
Desmond
Ephram
Alistair
Damien
Adrien
Dimitri

Girls:
Isabella
Ella
Lorelei
Camilla
Ileana
Amelia
Adele
Sophia
Lyla

If I had a boy, I would name him Cicero.

Potential boy names:
Aeneas (Yes, the Trojan)
Hector (Ditto)
Clarus (What I hope he would be)
Achates (Close to Aeneas)
Anchises (Fucked the sexiest being in existence)
Peleus (Virtuous)
Perseus (Good name)
Kalash (Yes, like the Kalashnikov)
Nero (I like the name)
Benjamin (Sounds good)
Carmine (Gears of War reference)

If I had a girl, I would name her Clare.

Potential girl names

Tiberia (Sounds powerful)
Penelope (A great woman)
Metis (A wise woman)
Deneve (A claymore reference)
Eve (Like the name)
Eva (Like the name)
Tullia (Cicero's real life daughter)
Vera (not a firefly reference!)
Islanzadi (I like the inheiritance cycle.)
Rene (Ponouced as Ren-ay!)

My best friend is named Jimmy, and i knew a girl called Kiana.

I didn't know this was an actual name? I just know the name from a game. (Tales of the Abyss)

Lots of Greek/Roman references. Claymore reference? Awesome.
I like the name Nero too but he has a bad rep for screwing the Roman Empire >.>

I like the names:
Seraph
Leon
Nym/Nimh
Milli
Vi
Alix - I know a girl with this name, I think it's pretty cool but I wouldn't want to name my children after people I know/knew.
(can't think of any others atm)
