I thought it would be fun, if we all shared 3 things.

1) What you want to name your kids if/when you have them (first and middle if you have it)
2) What your parents thought about naming you
3) The weirdest name(s) you have heard of

For me...
1) Ember Skye or Kylie Ember (girls)
Zackary Liam or Isaiah Jordan

2) Dad wanted to call me Hillary or Precious (I know... hah)
Mom wanted Shelby or Hilary the whole time.
If I was a boy, I was going to be Michael

3) Girl: Patience, or PRECIOUS XD
Guy: Zane (I just thought it was odd, I like it now...)

James · 4th Jun 2010, 08:02 PM

Zachary or Christopher
James
Lafonda

**Maddy** · 4th Jun 2010, 08:23 PM

1. I doubt I'll be having kids, but I really like the name Andrew for a boy, Gabrielle is probably my favourite girl's name, and boy or girl, I'd use some variation of the name Chris as a middle name. Family tradition, and also for my father.

2. If I was a boy, I would have been named Alistair or David William. Eloise was a name on the list, and Mum says if she could redo it I would have been Christian Claire (again, Christian's a family name) and gone by Claire.

3. I knew a girl called Rekiah at primary school, and I taught a kid called Shanara on my student teaching rounds.

4th Jun 2010, 08:51 PM

1) Boy: Tommy
Girl: Talula

2) My parents wanted to call me Dylan

3) I knew a kid named Seven, and one named Daystar

Rikudo · 4th Jun 2010, 08:52 PM

1.I've always like a couple of names in english I like Kai or Roland. In Spanish I like Cielo (which is sky) Rojo (which is Red). I'd also like to continue the name of Ezequiel since I was named after my grandpa and he was named after his.
Orders I guess would be Kai Cielo R. and Roland Rojo R.(lol he'd be a triple R)

2. Hmm that's a good question I've never asked what other names I could have been given.

3.Xander

4th Jun 2010, 08:59 PM

1. Lea for a girl, Sean for a boy.
2. My parents named me Steve and as far as I know, that's all they wanted to name me.
3. La-a (Pronounced Ladashah)

**Lexington** · 4th Jun 2010, 10:24 PM

1) What you want to name your kids if/when you have them (first and middle if you have it)
I never wanted to have kids.

2) What your parents thought about naming you
I always was going to be the name I got. If I were a girl, I would've gotten the name that my sister eventually got.

3) The weirdest name(s) you have heard of
The girl upstairs from me in college was named Spontaneous McKnight.

Lex

Colton · 4th Jun 2010, 10:32 PM

1) For a guy, Kenneth, Johnathan, or Matthew. For a girl, Jessica, Mariah or Kelly.

2) I was gonna be given the worst names ever. Donovan or Dexter. Seriously? Dexter?

3) Either La-a (Ladashah) or Jackelinee

4 seat · 4th Jun 2010, 11:40 PM

1. Guy: Lance or Kyle. I like those names, dunno why.
Girl: Natasha.

2. Parents almost named me Rafael. Raffy. Yikes.

3. I used to work at Blockbuster and there was this girl that used to come in who's name was Shadynasty. "Shady-nasty", right? NO, I found out it was pronounced "Shuh-dynasty". Oops.

Hey, watch it.

lol Although it's totally more bad ass with an I...

Anyways. Even though I don't want kids...

1.For a guy, I love the name Glen, or something with a J, like Justin, Josh, Jake, etc...
For a girl, I'd probably give her an Armo name, either Tamar or Lori.

2.My parents were gonna name me Michael, eww.

3.My friend named Margarita. Idk why but it just feels weird calling her that. (but I <3 her)

Paragon · 5th Jun 2010, 01:16 AM

1) October, Camille, Jessica (Girls), Christopher (boys)
2) I was going to be called benjamin xD but my genius mom decided on a whim to name me after her friends hot boyfriend... idiot
3) Enda (boys name, not edna, enda) lol weird

x2x2x2x2y2 · 5th Jun 2010, 02:27 AM

1. Boy: Jaden or Jeremy or Raphael. Girl: Alexis or Hayley.

2. A running joke was that my dad always wanted a Harley motorcycle, but instead he was gonna get me. So he was gonna name me Harley.

3. Jenelle, which is my niece's name.

Connor22 · 5th Jun 2010, 04:15 AM

1) anything that doesn't start with a c
2) to get friends and relatives mixed up between me and my brother Chris... we also have the same initials
3) ..... Christmas, and he was a priest so everyone called him father... get it?

Katherine · 5th Jun 2010, 06:24 AM

1) I want 3 kids, two boys and one girl, named Colin, Jaden, and Sage. :3

2) My parents thought about naming me Elizabeth. I'm glad they went with Katherine instead. If I had been a boy they'd have named me Christopher, which went on to be my younger brother's name.

3) I once heard about a pair of twins named Regina and Vegina.

AlyssWonderland · 5th Jun 2010, 09:18 AM

1) Girl: Destiny, Kairi, Gabrielle. Boy: Gabriel, Dustin, or Adam.
2) Jenna, Nicole, Heather. Nicole became my middle name, and one of my best friends names is Heather Nicole, her parents thought about naming her Alyssa. Weird.
3) Shaniqua, Shyla, Sulliva, Ambika, Bandit. Normally I like weird names when they're not that bad. I have a friends with names like Estara, Shalyn, and Stephen Tyler *enter last name here*.

jazzrawr · 5th Jun 2010, 05:35 PM

1. I've always liked the name Leah for a girl. I'd probably name my girl Leah Johanna (Johanna is a family tradition, seven generations have had Johanna in their name) or Leah Claire (after my grandmother). For a boy, I like the name Will. Or Micheal, after my brother.

2. I've always been Jasmine - I don't think they started thinking of names until they knew I was going to be a girl. My mom wanted my middle names to be Teresa Claire, which is my grandma's first and middle names, but my grandma hated her middle name Claire so it became Jasmine Teresa Marie. (Which I think makes me sound like a nun.)

3. I know a girl named Stormie August Knight. I thought that was pretty out there.

**Rosina** · 5th Jun 2010, 06:23 PM

I'm not all that keen for kids, to be honest, I'd rather adopt. Though in the hypothetical world, I've always liked what my parents would have called my brother if he'd actually turned out to be a girl; they had found names to rhyme with mine so whilst I'm Rosina Fawn Chloe, my hypothetical little sister would be Georgina Storm Holly. Probably a little on the sad side, but there you are. I've always thought of calling my daughter Storm, just because it's a name with intense connotations.

I was always going to be Rosina, since I'm named after my great-grandmother, though my middle name Fawn was a very late edition, as on the way to my birth, this dear darts out in-front of my dad.

And I've heard many a strange name, but I can't recall any at the moment.

Gambit · 5th Jun 2010, 07:52 PM

1) I want to have 5 kids and their names are going to be (if i have them)
Boys: Abraham, Charles Jacob, Adam or Aaron
Girls: Alison Marie, Charlotte Ariel
2) My parents always wanted to name me Charles. They consider naming me Jacobo (Jacob in Spanish) and Elizabeth if i was a girl.
3)Abava
