What Would You Call Your Child?

[Durion]

I have not seen anyother threads on this so far and I thought it would be interesting to see some peoples answer.

Anyway back to the topic, As the title says what would you call your child or your children, Even though I am still young me and my friends already have ideas of what names we like.

For a boy I would call him either Neal or Paul (Both my brothers names) and I prefer Neal compared to Neil (Neal being the Irish spelling of Neil which is the English version). For middle names I would give him Colin (After my Grandad) or Andrew (Which is my first name). All these are the names that I like most for a boy.

For a girl I would call her either Elisa or Amy (Amy also being a name in our family), For a middle name I would give her Karen (After my mum) or Janet (Once again another family name).

So what would you call your child

[Zeruda]

I have decided that if I am ever stuck with a child (I don't really plan to have one), I'd give it a unique-sounding name. I am not fond of the oh-so-common, bland American names like "Melissa" or "Andrew" or "Samantha" or "Daniel" or stuff like that. Bleh.

For female names, we've come up with:
Italia or Sicily (my fiance is Italian/Sicilian), Josélleña (my middle name), Alejandria Daniela (after my best friend and my brother), Legendia, or Hylia.

For male names, we've come up with:
Alejandro Miguel (after my brother), Sicilio, Italio, or Legend.

I'd prefer to stick to a Hispanic name, but I'm very fond of "Hylia" for a girl.

[Dragon Tamer]

Haven't thought of this at all. Let's see...

For a boy-Damen, Kai, or Eric

For a girl-Chrystal, Naomi, or Yuki

(Don't really want to have kids)

[Claire]

I suppose some underestimate the power of a name, but a silly name causes more hardship than needed for young children and the taunting is not appropriate or appreciated, which is why the names of which I like are not too unusual in meaning or of popularity. I appreciate names that reflect origin, as well as providing a positive meaning. The following names reflect the countries of origin of my ancestors:

Female
Evelyn Sofiya (desired wisdom)

Male
Liam Nelson (desired champion)

[Smitie]

After some thinking I came up with these names for a future child (I don't have childrenplans though). I want my kids to have a Dutch name, but not the standard top 10 names like Sophie (my sisters name :P), Anne, Lars or Tim. I don't want to give a name that sounds silly like Boas or Onky (I swear that I know people who are named like that D:)

Anyways here are my favourites for children names

Boy names
Mark
Rolf

Girl names
Mariska

[Petman1325]

Yeah, I'm terrible at the name game. And it is hard trying to find names with my last name. So, I'll just throw some things around and see where it takes me.

Guy
Christopher, jr.
Thomas
Timmothy

Girl
Alison
Marissa
Courtney

See, I'm not the greatest at the name game. I would just have to let the wife (If I ever find one) name them...

[:.:Mikki:.:]

Hehe.

If it was a boy, I would either name him Timothy or Anthony. (Timmy or Tony. =P)

Or, if it was a girl, I would name her Abby or Kelly.

[Y2K3]

This is a hard decision to make. I've always wanted certain names, but they're really just been random ones that I've liked. Lately, I've been thinking more about family names that I like.
Of course, that's if I were to have kids.

But these are probably my favourite family names at the moment.
Boy: Robert, David, Thomas, William
Girl: Alice, Elizabeth, Sara(h), Hannah

[Spreeze]

Oh geeze. I think I'd have to have the husband help me out XD

Uhm. I haven't given it much thought, really. But here's what I've come up with:

Boy:
Mark, Riley. Jack is okay, too.
Girl:
Aya, Jess.

[Dark Princess]

Well, I haven't thought about it much, me being 15, but I have already come up with a name for a girl. Sedona, named after Sedona, Arizona. It's a beautiful name. :P

[Keats]

If everything goes as planned, my first born will be a boy, and he will take my name, that being Eric. My second will be a girl, and her name will be Lindsey. My third will be another boy, and I'm torn between naming him Kevin or Cody.

[Lady_Yuna]

Baby names? geez....I don't know:S. *sigh* Well, here's a couple of names that I manage to come up with:

Female:
-Gina, Lily, Teresa, Alexis, Tiana

Male:
-Vincent, Jason, Zack

[Tingle]

Well Im only 16 but in about 5-10 years Id love to have children, as for names there are not many names Id want but there are a couple I like. Unlike a lot of people on here I would prefer to have a normal/usual name but hopefully Ill get a mrs. and she may have some ideas. For me I like:-

Boy - Oliver (A cousin who looks exactly like me when I was 4), John (my name)
Girl - Olivia (A friend I have) - thats all I have at the mo

Yes I Know Oliver and Olivia :p

[Blood Wolf]

Me and a few people on a chat site talked about this subject, even if I'm only 15.

Male: Salander
Female: Serenity (probably Serenity Reign).

[Evenstevenp]

If I had twins, i'd name them Lucas and Claus. No joke.

Kudos if you get the reference.

[MalonMaverick11]

I've thought about this. I like to keep names that are in my family.

Boy names:
Thomas
Martin
Benjamin

Girl names:
Virginia (Ginny)
Alexis
Anna

[Axle the Beast]

Well, I have idea. Although obviously I would have to consult with my wife whenever I do have kids. :P

I have several favorite names, and I'd probably consider these:

(Male)
Lester, Loki, Aster, Seth, Aaron

(Female)
Beatrice, Sherise, Lilly, Sasha, Kanna

I posted more in another thread about names. I can't remember all my favorites off the top of my head, so maybe check there? :P

I also might consider stranger names, but probably for middle name. I might even pick geeky stuff if it sounded normal enough. Sephiroth would be something I'd definitely consider, but a bit more for the religious meaning rather than the video game character. :P

The name "Norfair" (a location in the Metroid series) always struck me as an awesome name, although I'd never name my kid that. :P

[x-Link-x]

Okay so....

Boy Names:
-Zack
-Damein
-Corvin
-Gabriel

Girl Names:
-Lilith
-Isabella
-Belle
-Alex
-Samantha

[EponaOwns]

Oh, so many unique names! I like different names.

For Girls:
Nikki, Jersey, Neptune, Venus, Reese

For Boys:
Randy, Evan, Noah, Reece, Rick

Nice names.

[shadowlink626]

if its a guy anthony
a girl it would be sarah

im hoping for a boy though :)

[RazTwilight]

I'd name a girl Vivian, Rose, Amy, Odessa or a name I made up (probably child abuse) Belleframelina, that's pronounced bell-eh-fram-eh-leena.

[Baysiderulez]

Tehe I love threads like these.

When I was younger, I wanted to name a baby girl "Zelda Verity" but seeing as most of my zelda fettish has toned down... to the point of NOT naming my child after her. I've come up with this pretty name

"Castella Verity" and for short she'd be called Stella.

As for the male side, which I am destined to have only boys... as my fiance's side of the family is cursed.

I would like to name them. Anthony Alan, or Andrew Alan, or possibly even Zachariah (I've always liked the name Andrew and Zachie... but my fiance's brother is named Andrew and goes by Andy... which is a waste seeing as the name Andrew is so strong and wonderful... so I will probably never get to name one of my boyz Andrew v.v)

[fredthehylian]

If I had twins, i'd name them Lucas and Claus. No joke.

Kudos if you get the reference.

Oh ho! A Mother 3 reference.

Anyway, if I had a kid, I would name it...

Boy: Nick

Girl: Paula or Kathrine

[Cucco Lady Anju]

Boy:
Lucian
Jude
Lucas

Girl:
Cheryn
Paula
Sera
Zelda
Ivanova

I liked the name Zelda before I started playing the Zelda games so it's fair game. It's also the name of my favorite aunt.

[Emicon]

Hmm...

For a girl: Rachel, Elizabeth, Amanda
Boy: Adam, Nate, Mark

[Jayrad]

Well, at the moment I only have a few names...

Boy: Jason Cae

Girl: Elizabeth Brye, or Brye Elizebeth, or Serentiy.

I plan to think of more at a good friend's request, though. >_>

[Judai]

Well, at the moment I only have a few names...

Boy: Jason Cae

Girl: Elizabeth Brye, or Brye Elizebeth, or Serenity.

I plan to think of more at a good friend's request, though. >_>

FIXED... FOOL.

Also adding to his list...

Boy: Caleb, Brennan, Joseph...
Girl: Sarah, Caitlyn, Kattianne.

[Jayrad]

FIXED... FOOL.

Also adding to his list...

Boy: Caleb, Brennan, Joseph...
Girl: Sarah, Caitlyn, Kattianne.

SORRY... GAWD. D=

And haha, family names. =P

[Faedeur]

I was thinking Erin or Amy for a girl, and the only good one I was able to think of for a boy was Kade.

[Josh]

Well Let's see:

Boy

Alex. Or Alexei. I like Alexei most though. Don't ask me why. I would name my child that if I was in russia or Russian, but alas I'm not. I still like the name though.

Caleb too. Definitely Caleb if I can.

Girl

I don't really care about too much. I'd probably pick a horrible name, and just let my wife decide.

[Dungeon killer]

I have been waiting for a thread like this:

Boy: James, Joseph, or Harold
Girl: Cathy, or Alex

Man, I don't know why I'm thinking of child names when I'm only 11. Probably Human nature.:nerd:

[Judai]

Man, I don't know why I'm thinking of child names when I'm only 11. Probably Human nature.

I can't see why not. =\ Although it will have to wait till your way older XD.

[DreamDevourer]

If it is a boy, Crassus, Cyrus, Locke, Cicero, or Demothenes.
If it is a girl, Alice or Marie.

As you can tell, I like boy names better. But even so, these are increasingly rare names.

[Daddy]

Boy: Courtney

Girl: Bertha

I want my future children know adversity, so that they can grow up to be sympathetic of others.

[~SongOfStorms]

I've always liked the name Raine for a girl. Leo is my favorite boys name.

[-JelloGoMoo-]

Due to a friend, DragonTamer, and I being weird over the anime Fruits Basket, I've decided to name mine Hiro, if it's a boy. And hers Kisa, if it's a girl.

Dunno about the girl...

[Keats]

I'm indecisive when it comes to naming things, so I'll leave that up to my future wife. I do like the names Cody for a boy and perhaps Megan for a girl.

[Mii85]

Boy: Petri, Jari
Girl: Mira, Mari, Melissa, Miia, Sini

[Sparky]

Boys names:
Link - Pfft, i'm allowed one not so serious name, and i've been informed i'm not allowed to name a child of mine Billy Hillbilly Hill.....
Van - I just like the name.
Leo - Short for Leonis, the name I name all my random RPG characters that are nameable. That aren't Link.
Glen - Personal reasons I won't specify.
Sam - Also personal and unspecifiable.

Girls names:
Totally up to my future wife as long as they aren't something so horrible I couldn't bring myself to say said name.

[Bluelink6]

When I Think of A name, if the child was a girl, the name "Persephone" Springs to mind. I think that was the name of a (greek) Godess, amrried to the god of the underworld.

I can't think of what to name a boy, though...

[Sparky]

How is that pronounced?
The only way my brain can read that at the moment is as "Purse-of-Phone".

[Twilight Prince]

If I had a child I would name them:
Boy: Caleb- For one reason, I lost a cousin 5 minutes after he was born... And I just love the name. :)
Girl: Not to sure for a girl name. Might edit post if I think of one.

[Apple]

Hmm....

Boy: Jordan, James, Clark
Girl: Katlyn, Kallie, Gretchen

[Linkette]

I like Caleb too^
I much more like foreign names than local

For Girl:
Yuki,
Stella (I don't know why, I just love that name)

I can't think up of any boys' names at the moment. Because almost all boys I met were jerks.

[Rensch]

Girl: Lot
Boy: Bas

I like simple, short names that are easy to pronounce and not too sissy.

[Notorious NATE]

Male: Thor, Alfonzo, Montgomery
Female: Amanda, Kristen, Missy

[Icetomeetyou]

Boy: Aaron or Cole
Girl: Erin

I remember my friends and I had a joke about me naming a kid Pastor Pastor.

[Seanileus]

If I had twins, i'd name them Lucas and Claus. No joke.

Kudos if you get the reference.

Nice.
I perfer Claus myself, he's my favorite.

I'd like to cosplay as him too.

[Seanileus]

Boy - Jeremy or Seth.

Girl - Stephanie or Arielle.

[Bigelover88]

Daughter: Claudia, Gina, Erica
Son: Kenny, Eric, Elijah

[TyphoneAlexis]

Boy:Albert,Dart,Haschel

Girl:Meru,Shana,Sasha

50 chars....

[PixelSmile]

Girl: Pandora, I've just suddenly taken a huge like to that name!

Not too sure for a boy.
:(

[GerudoRose]

In this day and age, I really don't want to give my child a name every one and their mother has. I want to give it a unique and original name that very few people have. So far I tend to favor the Biblical names and names of historical people.

If it's a boy: Isiah (Biblical name, the Great prophet), Horatio (named after a famous Naval captian from the Napolean wars), Jebediah or Jeremiah, Jai, Xian, Johann and Leopald.

If it's a girl: Barbara ( like Streistand and Walters), June, Zara, Fatima, Sookie, Loralei, Angelynn, Evangline, Angela, Minerva (Roman name of Athena), Johanna, Mariah (a mountain in the Bible but the singer is exceptional), Ruby, and Margarita (nickname Rita)

Now all I need is a man...or adoption papers. Lol...

[Goron Guru]

I don't think about this much, but still, a couple of names of become apparent in my mind.

Boy
Apollo
Tony

Girl
Selena
Astrid

[Atsuma]

I dunno, I thought I had responded to this thread already...guess the bug is to blame, eh? Hehe :D

If I got married one day, not likely though, I'm too ugly :D --the kid would be named Rad.

If it was a girl, then I guess Shayla. Why? Because my favorite friend at my school was named like that, she's very special to me, I'd honor her by naming my kid like that. Why is she so special? She was what I call a true friend, someone unique, never met anyone like her.

[athenian200]

I'd be careful to pick a name that people wouldn't tease.

Alexander seems like a good choice for a boy, while Alice seems like good choice for a girl. Having "A" names is also an advantage, because people who have them are usually placed at the front of alphabetical filing systems and some queues.

[TriforceHunter]

If it was a boy I would love his name to Daniel or his middle name or I would to name him Link. If it was a girl I would really love if her name was Wendy(for my mom) or Carmen(for My grandma, RIP)or Dannielle/Daniela or Zelda or Saria or Malon. but I know those videogame names won't come trough my wife. T_T

[Hazel]

I like Aaron, Paul, Leo, Leonis

Also Nyana, (my personal favv) Nynaeve-->(taken of wheel of time) Alana/Elana, Bianca, Leona, Angela Britt (like my great great great granma. Just love the name!).

[Austin]

Slagathor. Sure, elementary school would be hell but when they got to their indivdualist phase in high school, they'd thank me.

[Wielder of Aegis]

Boy: ****** after Dally from the Outsiders, or Kevin
Girl: Jessica, Jennifer, or Stephanie

[OwenGTA]

Link or Zelda.

Just kidding. (that joke was probably already made..)

Boy: Sander; I have a great friend from the Netherlands who is named Sander. I think it's a good name.
Girl: Dunno. I'm only 17 so I don't really care to worry about it.

[TreeHuggerPanda]

For Girls:
I looooooooove Greek Mythology and my name is Greek, (don't worry... I'm not Greek...) so I really want really cool Greek names
Trinity (first, wish I was named this, even though it's not Greek, well... I'm pretty sure it isn't!)
Athena (middle, there's a tradition in my family that for the first born daughter, you have to name her middle name with the same letter that starts with your first name)
Iris (first, love, love, love flowers!)
Alyssa (middle, love it because it seems like it's fresh and new)
Cynthia (first, but I just love this name)
Selena (first, sounds like my bff's cat''s name, which is Serina, but I also love Selena Gomez cause she does lots of charity work)
Amber (middle, I love the color)
Autumn (middle, it sounds so sophisticated to me)
April (middle, if she's born in April or something...)
Skye (first, makes me think of rainbows for some reason...)
Dawn (first, love the time of day)
Mei (first, if I really dare to give her a Chinese name...)

For Boys:
I really don't want to give a boy a Greek name because all of the ones I heard suck
Edward (first, I'm a twi-hard, I know)
Jacob (first, I'm a twi-hard)
Lucas (don't care, just like this name)
Cameron (don't care, like the name)
I'm not so sure on boy names because I'm really picky on what they mean and girl names sound more elegant to me.

[bluelink]

male- Forrest

female- Violet

[Phantasmagoric]

If I ever have a boy, his name would be Obsidian Blackbird McNight. The most emo name ever!

[Raindrop14]

Girl: Keely, Takaya, or Hanna. Keely is Irish, Takaya is a name I made up, and Hanna is just because I like it.
Boy: Devin, Dantay, or Kyle. Devin is Irish, Dantay is another name (I think) I made up, and Kyle is because I like it.

[Aurelia]

I only plan on having one child. It doesn't really matter if it is a boy or a girl but:
If it was a girl: Priscilla
If it was a boy: Raymond

Simple as that.

[Chilfo Freeze]

I've got too many names for a girl; none for a boy.

Girl: Antanasia, Aisling, Kaisa, Odette, Sairla.

All very fantasy-like. Mostly ideas from books I've read.

[LolGames4U]

Well I'm 14 but anyway I want to have 1 girl named either Naomi, Colleen, Kayla, Yutaka (if she's Asian), or something else pretty. I would probably seriously consider Zelda. :p Hey I want to be a game designer!

[Raindrop14]

Well I'm 14 but anyway I want to have 1 girl named either Naomi, Colleen, Kayla, Yutaka (if she's Asian), or something else pretty. I would probably seriously consider Zelda. :p Hey I want to be a game designer!


Hay, my little sister's name is Colleen.:)

[Mrt3161]

it would have to be Error just because that name is stupid...lol And I would buy the kid a shirt that states "I AM ERROR!"

[purplelink]

Girl: Drizzle from Glee
Boys: 7 from Seinfeld
(dont judge)

[Diablo]

Boy names
Damian, Nick, Sean

Girl names
Leia, Amy, Vixie

[Aurelia]

Girl names
Leia, Amy, Vixie

Gosh, Leia is such a beauitful name. I love it. One of my friends is named Leia. But I make fun of her due to her last name. Mann. :P

[badmuffins]

If I had twins, i'd name them Lucas and Claus. No joke.

Kudos if you get the reference.

I love you.


I would name my kids from people after video games. An example would be:

Boy: Ness

Girl: Kumatora

[Destiny]

I really won't have kids, but once I adopt and Asian, I was thinking..

Male: Roland Giovanni (Giovanna is my first name and a old family name, me being Giovanna the III and Giovanni is the male version)
Female: Lux Giovanna (Lux meaning Light)

[i-am-link]

Hmm...

...If I had to name my child, I would name them one of these, depending on if they were a boy or girl (I am using Japanese Names);

Boy: Kioshikado (Quiet Gateway)

Girl: Hoshinami (Star Wave), Nyokomai ((Rough translation) Bright Gem)

[Cabbage]

I just pretty much made these up.
For a girl, Akane Tuesy.
For a boy, Caden Bender.
When my mom and dad met on the internet, they went by Tuesy and Bender. They still do. So I would do that out of respect for them.

[Pop 360]

Japanese Names FTW

Easy:
Girl- Akira (I just Love the name-Lucky Star)
Boy- Hinata/Tomoya (I adore them both-Hinata: Angel Beats,-Tomoya: Clannad)

[Linknerd09]

I haven't thought for a boy but if it was a girl, I would name her Zelda. I think it's a pretty name. Or I would name her Pan

[Hooch Is Crazy]

I haven't thought of what first-names to give them, but if I do have children, their middle names will probably be Japanese. Currently, I've got Shigeru for a boy (after the great Shigeru Miyamoto), Hitomi for a girl (given to girls with beautiful eyes).

[babygoku]

Well I have a few for each.

Girls names: Ammy, Rukia, Chelsea, and May
Boys: Ichigo, Hichigo, Ashton, Blake, Drake, Ian, Allen, and Azure ^^

[i-am-link]

I have another name for a child I might be the father of in the future.

Niki.

;)

[babygoku]

I have another name for a child I might be the father of in the future.

Niki.

;)

aww zomg that my name :')
And eather a boy or girl the first will be brrrrrrrraaaa (lol jk I got it from a video)
(Itachi stop eating the 3o characters)

[-JelloGoMoo-]

Cortana or Kisa for girls.

Hiro or Zachary for guys... I'll probably have more as time passes.

[GanonSlayr]

boy: Ike, Cyrus(is that how you spell it?) & maybe Vincent.
Girl: Sabrina, Alyss,

[babygoku]

Oh And here are some One Piece names I would name my kids
Boys: Luffy, Sanji, Zoro, Chopper
Girls: Nami, Vivi, Robin
:)

[Master Kokiri 9]

I'd probably name a girl Anna or something. I've always liked that name. I'm not sure on what I'd name a boy, though. >_>

[Axle the Beast]

More recently since the last time I posted in this thread, I decided that Ridley must by the name of my first son. :<

It's a really cool REAL name, aside from being a reference to one of the most awesome video game villains ever. 8D

[De_krumpel]

If that will ever happen.

Two red haired girls with the names of
victoria and anastacia or else some mythical name like isis gaia but that sounds..well weird.

[JuicieJ]

For a girl, I'd name my child Faith Hope Love Welch.

[Relindra]

Michelle or Sarah for a girl, Mike or John for a boy. I'd probably let my wife pick at the time but those names get my vote.
