I named my boy Peter after his great grandfather. Brought tears to the eyes of the WWII vet who fought in Iwo Jima. I'm incredibly proud of everything my grandfather's done in his life, and I think it's an honor to both him and my son to have them share names. Not to mention that personality-wise they're both identical -- stubborn and completely uncompromising. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Spookily before I read this post. This morning I thought about what I would suggest for a girl's name if anyone asked on this forum. I must be psychic!

Having said that I had trouble thinking of names. But if there is a bit of Irish in you how about these instead of the usual Shannon or Tara. So I fell back on my sister's and relatives names. Boring!

Aisling, pronounced Ashling and often spelt that way.
In Gaelic it means beautiful apparition or sweet vision. Which I suspect is how you'll see the child.

Or how about Niamh, pronounced Neeve, not sure what it means.

Or Sinead, pronounced shinaid.

Whatever you do, don't name her "Easy."

My favs are:
Crystal
Summer
Autumn
Janine, &
Kiley (can be spelled differently, of course).

Congratulations & good luck, btw!

Cripes, I forgot one "rule" unless you are living in Ireland, Scotland or Wales, unpronouncable Gaelic names are just pretentious.

IE: Boadicea (BooDIHcyah), or Tangwystl (Tangwistil)

If he names her Sinead, does he have to shave her head and listen to her incessant bizarre political drivel?

Smurfette ???

just write down all the possibilities and toss them in a hat .

Or trace the family tree and pick out one (dont forget to look at middle names also )

Think of old girlfriends or other hot chicks you know (but don't tell your wife or your daughter that's what you did, of course). They always seem to have beautiful names, even if they were *****es.

Liz, Megan, Crystal, Ashley, Jennifer, and Julie are some of my favorites. Nothing fancy, but I'm not a big fan of weird names.

Paris.

But seriously, a name that she will be very comfortable with in the schoolyard.

CyranoAH · « **Reply #40 on:** November 26, 2003, 03:29:50 AM »

My personal favorites:

- Judit
- Marina
- Caroline

if me and my wife were having a girl when my son was born she would have been named:

Haylie madison

ok i'm not sure how it would have been spelled but phontically it would have sounded like Hay-Lee.

I was blessed with a boy so he is infact a JR. my family is oldfasion like that.

i really wanted to name him William robert....then once its on the birth cert....i can call him Billy Bob and my wife cant do nothing about it. lol

BTW congrats....a child is truly a gift from god. Its also revenge from our parents because we end up saying all the stupid things they said "because i said so thats why" lol

Whatever you do try to break the chain of naming her after a soap opera queen. Been working with kids for 15 years and you wouldn't believe how common this is male and female names alike.

Any name that ends with MAW is highly recommended...
