What did you name your kiddo?

How did you come up with the name? Do you
use a nickname? What was the "almost
name"?
What do you plan to call baby #2?
I'll go first.
I have a lovely little Adelaide. Until she
was born I'd planned to call her Georgia
(George is a family name), but once I held
her I just didn't feel like she was a
Georgia. Adelaide had been on my list
since the beginning of my pregnancy and it
just felt like a good fit.
Nickname: Lady (or Laide-y, I suppose).
I dislike the nickname Addy, since there
are so many little addy/maddy's (addison,
madison, madalyn) running around. I had
planned to use Ada as her nn but she was
such a little Lady (read: demanding priss)
that Lady just sort of stuck.
Almost name: Georgia Victoria
Sibling:
If I ever give her a sister (in 10 or so
years!) I'd love to use Penelope (Penny or
Ellie), Elisabeth (Betsy), Georgia or
Clara.
Okay, now you go!

We plan on naming ours either Emerson
Jude, boy, or Adeline Prudence. Can you
guess the motifs?! If you do, you're my
best friend! If not, I guess I must
share.
As far as nicknames, Em, Emmers, E.J. And
sorry, but for Adeline I love Addie!
As far as other names, Morrison, Quinton,
Quinn, Lennon, Anabell, Guendolyn,
Gueniviere, Guenivive, and many more.
Baby number two will get one of those with
the same motif!

I LOVE ADELINE! So much! In fact, it may
have been Adelaide's name had I not
worried about pron. issues. Are you
pronouncing this Ade-line (like draw a
line on paper), Ade-leen, or ade-lyn? I
think the proper way is ade-leen... but
I'm not totally sure. I would have gone
with Ade-LINE
I adore your taste in girl's names.
Gwendolyn, Guinevere (Evie) and Genevieve
(Evie) were all on my early lists. I
didn't have the guts to use them, but I
love them.
I also have much love for Jude.

Well because we took Adeline (intially
Adelynn before I found it) from a Poe
poem, it is prounounced adel-line, to fit
the rhyme scheme. :]
Emerson is after Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Jude & Prudence are from Beetles
songs, and we plan to give all of our
children Beetle middle names.
The other names are writers, or from poems
and stories.
I am a music/lit dork! Haha
Another name I LOVE and forgot to mention
is Avangeline.

So I guess you're pronouncing it with the
lyn sound? that's pretty.
Also, they're the Beatles (not beetles) ;D
And yes, Evangeline is lovely (that's
definitely one i pronounce with the leen
sound. Most spelt with a -line I
intuitively pronounce as lyn but prefer
LINE, that's why i'd never have the nerve
to use em!)

I named my boy Adam.
Tristan was a first choice but his last
name begins with T and I really don't like
the alliteration thing with names.
I chose Adam #1 because of the author
Douglas Adams who I find truly amazing
#2 because sin gave birth to him (not a
fan of his mother =P)
#3 love the name

Haha did I really say Beetles?! Oh my,
that's what happens when I'm up past my
bedtime of..... 8pm! Hahaha
We'll pronounce it like 'line' as in the
poem "Am redolent of thee and thine/
Enthralling love, my Adeline."
I love the name Tristan! Like Tristan
& Isolde :] great literature too, and
a decent movie as well.

My first we named Thomas Jeffery. I could
not come up with a name so I told my mom
to name him. Thomas is for my son's father
and Jeffery is my step dad's middle name.
He has always been called TJ tho.
Second we agreed quickly on a name (me and
husband) and that was Christian Jacob. We
choose that because its biblical. No nick
name at this point.
Third was almost named Abel as in Cain and
Abel. I did not like that name at all. We
agreed on Andrew Brady. Andrew because it
biblical and Brady because I always liked
Brady from Days of Our Lives (what can I
say). No nick name.
Fourth and final we agreed on quickly
again. Jeremiah James. Another set of
biblical names. No nick names.

I don't have any children yet, but have
the first two names picked out, if no one
minds. If it's a girl, she'll be named
Katie Marie ____ (Last name), and a boy
will be named Andrew Rocco _____ (Last
name). The middle names are our middle
names respectively.

My sons name is Zachary Dylan.. he was
named after my brothers (older brother
Kyle Dyan) (younger brother Ian Zachary)
Thus Zachary Dylan... he goes by Zachary,
Zach, or Zee...
If I had chosen not to name him after my
brothers I wanted to name him Parker.
If he was a girl his (her) name would have
been Cassandra Brynn

We named our daughter Mika Charlotte. I
heard the name Mika on a tv show about 2
years before i got pregnant and it just
kinda stuck with me and Charlotte is my
big sister's first name.
I had loads of names! Our original choise
was Laila then Dom decided he didn't like
that anymore and then we decided on Liliah
but then i decided i didn't want that
anymore then i wanted either Analei or
Erica but Dom didn't and then i said we're
calling her Mika and that's that!
As for any future children we have i'm not
sure, we've dcided that if we have another
child/ren that we'd find out the sex at
the 20 weeks scan then we'd each think of
two or three names we like but not tell
each other then when he/she is born we'll
tell eachother our name ideas and name
them at the hospital

I don't have any children, but when I do,
these are the names I like. I'm not sure
about middle names. Elizabeth has been
passed down in the family on my moms side
for generations, but I really don't know
if I want to carry that on or not.
Girl:
Emma
Lillian
Boy:
Gabriel
Skylar

we named our daughter Emma Jacqueline
because Emma was the only name we could
agree on and Jacqueline is my moms name.
We don't have any nic names that pertain
to her name but we call her our "bug"
because my mom started calling her that
and i guess it just stuck. If we have
another girl we want to name her either
Sophie Lorraine (Lorraine is his mother's
name) or Ava Lorraine. If its a boy we
can't agree on anything but Alexandre
Michael (Michael after my dad) or Yanic
Michael. I really like Elijah, Jacob,
Lucas or Aiden for boys names but Serge
refuses those flat out....our children
have to have names that are easily
pronounced in French because most of his
family are French or have a strong accent
