Hello Everyone,
Feeling really down today due to the fact that I'm on my own for Easter. I didn't think it would really affect me that much but I really miss everyone today so it kind of sucks. I think I will just write about my favourite baby names today to make me feel better and then go and clean.
I love names. A lot. I'm always thinking about names and I don't know why. But anyway, here are some of my favourites:
Currently, for my girls I love the names (In order):
1) Alice. (The reason this is number one is because it is surprisingly the least popular, and I like unpopular names that aren't ridiculous. So Alice isn't too far away from normality that she'd get teased for it - but it's unlikely that there would be several in her year level going on current figures. It hasn't made the top 100 list in the past 50 years or something ridiculous like that)
2) Evangeline. (This one is getting more popular due to Evangeline Lilly I think, but I think its really lovely. She would get called Evie for short. I like it because its different - but I don't like it because its close to Evangelist. I don't think it would really be a problem though - because its not a name that kids will ever realise is close to Evangelist in enough time to tease her, and when she's older no ones really going to care, unless she is one. Then she'd probably be happy about it hahha.
3) Ava. (It was my original choice but its gotten so common now that its turned me off it. While I would probably call her "Ava-Jayne" as a hyphen name - its still number five in the most popular names at the moment and quite frankly thats too high for my liking. Its annoying though because I've loved that name for SO LONG. Far before it started getting popular. Don't know who started that trend - but I'm annoyed!
So they're my top three girls names. Not sure what Middle names I like with them though. I like Alice Elizabeth, Ava-Jayne wouldn't have a middle name, but nothing sounds as nice as Evangeline Lily but I obviously can't name her that! So if you have any suggestions let me know. For both Alice and Evangeline!!!
Other Girls names I like:
Claire
Charlotte
Isobel
Addison (This is probably my fourth favourite, but I just can't see her being called "Addy". I don't like it.)
Emilie
Brea
But they're all just options if whoever ends up fathering my children really hates the first three hahaha. I hope not!
For boys names I'm not as sure on them as I am for girls. I like boys names but they just always change for me. So my top ones are, but in no particular order:
1) Dylan (I like this but I also really like it as a girls name - so it doesn't seem super masculine to me anymore, which sort of makes me less excited about it.)
2) Andrew. (Its really nice but I would hate it to be shortened to "Drew" in particular, or even Andy, but that's much better. I really like Andrew as a full name. Is that too much to ask of people to not abbreviate it? Sigh)
3) Benjamin (Same with Andrew. Full name please!)
4) Ethan (I like Ethan a lot, but now it reminds me of that creepy guy from Lost hahaha)
5) Miles (I like it because it reminds me of Miles Hater from Looking for Alaska. And who could go wrong with a John Green reference)
6) James (I like it because its a strong male name and its really lovely - but I don't have a really huge attachment to it - in the sense that I can't see a child of mine with that name. Its weird -but I really like it.)
Anyway I think thats enough Boys names! You get the general idea. If you have any suggestions on nice boys and girls names I would love to hear them!!!
Best be off - need to do some cleaning and try to unjam my window. Its currently stuck open - which makes it very cold in my room, but I can't seem to fix it. Oh well, such is life. Tomorrow I am going to the Tower of London, but all the tube lines to there aren't working at the moment so I have to try and navigate my way there on buses. Wish me luck!!!!
Love you all,
Until Tomorrow xx

No-one abbreviates Andrew's name. But they do call him Mapes. So it is possible to make people not abbreviate it! hahaha
ReplyDeleteI agree with most of those things except Dylan cannot be a girls name! Sorry! hahaha
And Benjamin can be abbreviated to Ben! hehehe
