I like Zachary (i have one!)
Girls names I like Autumn and Luna.

tummytickler · 24/04/2011 20:30

Love Lilith, Lenore and Luna.
Not keen on Zachary, not sure on Grigori, but I really like Gregory.
Winter is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine, it feels so romantic, and mysterious, but could never use it. WOuld like it on somebody elses child though.
Not keen on Autumn. I ised to work with one, and it put me off. Can't see it with clear eyes.
My fav is Luna.

strawberrymewmew · 24/04/2011 20:30

I am totally in love with the name Luna but I don't think my DP likes it very much. :(

Err on the side of caution with Luna as rumour has it that is what Victoria Beckham wants to call their daughter.

It could become a popular chav name the way Cruz and Brooklyn have if she does use it.

I really like Autumn as a girls name . Not keen on either of the boys ones I'm afraid

evamummy · 24/04/2011 20:38

Love Luna and Autumn.

Really dislike Zach/Zachary and Grigori soundw very Italian - have you got Italian heritage?

(I don't think Cruz or Brooklyn have become particularly popular due to the Beckhams, have they?)

strawberrymewmew · 24/04/2011 20:43

Thanks for your opinions everyone. :)

And evamummy No I don't have any Italian heritage, just a weird taste in names. :P

I loved the idea of Luna, however I would not wish to name my child the same name as the beckhams. :(

Its not so much that the names have become popular its more of a case that they have been picked up and used in families alongside names like Chardonnay and Destinee-Lee

BigSooz · 24/04/2011 20:45

I like Lilith very much. No to the rest. Luna paricularly footballer's wives.

Zachary is nice, too. No to Grigori.

fancydress · 24/04/2011 20:45

Referring to Cruz and Brooklyn there, not the OPs name choices

WhipMeIndiana · 24/04/2011 20:47

love Autumn
not Winter ( think dried up and frosty Hmm

Luna would be called 'Looney' throughour school - avoid
Lenore is ok but bit fabric softener - avoid
Lilith was the evil old bat Frasier Crane was married to, hmm? not the best connotation

boys - Grigori - weird
Zachary - Love it.

Lonnie · 24/04/2011 20:52

I love Lilith but I wasnt so keen on the mythological aspects of it I have to admit (sorry if you havent checked that part)

like Autumn never cared much for Zachary to be honest nto sure what i think about Grigori

the others I am just very oh ok about nothing special

strawberrymewmew · 24/04/2011 22:03

Thanks again. :)
And Lonnie I have checked the mythological background. Lol.

I love Autumn, but think Winter is more suited to a boy.

Dont really like either Luna or Lenore but like Lilith.

Have you considered Neva - means snow, I wanted it for DD2 because it snowed when we had each of her 3 scans, but DP was not keen.

I like Zachary but not Grigori as I think it will just be seen as a weird spelling of Gregory.

ColonelBrandonsBiggestGroupie · 24/04/2011 22:11

Luna and Lilith okay.
Grigori looks v v odd to me.

CarefulWithThatAxeEugene · 25/04/2011 01:24

Lenore is a bit Edgar Allan Poe as well as fabric softener, but there is also Leonora.

squeak2392 · 26/04/2011 09:04

1 = Best, 3 = Worst.

Girls names :
[1] Lilith, Autumn, Luna
[2] Winter
[3] Lenore (Like the laundry cleaner?)

Boys names:
[1] Zachary
[2] Grigori (Gregory's okay, but I don't get this. It looks too Russian.)

strawberrymewmew · 26/04/2011 15:19

I love the name Autumn, DP isn't really liking it though. :P
And no Lenore as in from the Edgar Allan Poe poem. (The fabric softener doesn't have an e at the end)
:)

Girls names :
Lilith - don't like and would be possibly shortened to Lily which is very popular
Autumn - love IF that is the season the baby is born in
Winter - as above!
Lenore - no sorry
Luna - again dislike and too many Footballers Wives associations with Elen and Posh

Boys names:
Grigori
Zachary
Dislike both of these sorry Wink

darleneconnor · 26/04/2011 17:02

Lilith ok but there are far too many lily's atm imo
Autumn great
Winter not so much, too nicole richie
Lenore too fabric softner
Luna too footballers wives

Boys names:
Grigori is this a name?
Zachary saved by the bell but ok

MayBankHoliday · 26/04/2011 23:58

Autumn and Zachary are the nicest IMO.

Thanks everyone. I can see what names I will defineatly not be going with now!

Baby will be born in October so will be Autumn/Winter kind of season.

Sounds sad but the reason I liked the name Luna was because the girl who plays Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter is so pretty and bubbly. :)

TheSecondComing Couldn't be further from a wannabe wag tbh. :P I have bright pink hair and piercings! :)

Awww, solution to that is get pink hair. ;)
Tbh I sometimes get jealous of the people without pink hair, piercings and the tattoos.
(Gets a bit annoying sometimes when people stare)
