[Beccy1974]

i just had an email about this.. i know it's really a 'pregnancy' thread topic but thought you might all like to vote:=

baby-name-survey

Well i kinda like phoenix - not sure if i would be brave enough to use it.

There are a few dinosaurs who get het up about uncommon names and feel the need to lash out.

They're a dying breed thank God and best ignored.

I think deep down they're angry because they feel hidebound by some strange force of tradition to follow their perception of an established norm like a bunch of sheep.

They lash out with jealous hatred against those of us who aren't similarly encumbered and mired in the past and are able to think for ourselves and choose names we like rather than the ones off the list of acceptables.

Poor things. They're to be pitied.

Well said.

Voted for Eve and John (have two boys but neither John as dh wouldn't agree )

Am EXTREMELY old myself, but wonder if you have hit the nail on the head with suggestion that it's us older folk who don't go with more uncommon names? Next time anyone rude on here, ask them how old they are

In the meantime, I'm mulling over asking for a Cod free topic and then the miserabilists who don't like anyone to have conversations that they don't like can just avoid them

i added Elize as my fave. it was what i wanted to call DD but chickened out as thought it was too unusual and didn't want to have to defend the name for years to come. (its pronounced El-eez)

well said spidermumma

Btw - my dd is called mia and I love amelia and xavier (both pronouciations)

OMG slightly off the subject but I didn't know that you were greek Xavielli, me too!!

ooops i meant spidermama sorry

ahh so not a windy nickname

Natty my friends dd is called Phoenix (although i prefer it for a boy)

I think that the unusual names are just as pretty as the more common names.

lol becky ummmm lets say the windy charateristic has just recently manifested itself... Nickname was given to me at the age of 11 to describe my bubbley personality and it fitted cos of the greek thing too.... lol

yeah for a boy.

I added esther for a girl. james for aboy. but my kids have italian names, as we are italian

we have had our baby names set for 5 years

for a girl - jessica louise

for a boy - tyler james

spidermama you talk a pile of shit
all the time
its amazing

oh sorry for got an

Cod you and spidey are like two sides of the same coin

I love you both

I added the name Cooper for a boy and my fav girl name is Olivia.

I think kids with the same names have very similar personalities. I can honestly say I have never met a sweet, well adjusted Christopher/ Chris!
( Apologies to anyone who has named their son this, but you would have to agree he is probably mighty spirited!)

Am a teacher so couldnt name kids after anyone who has given me grief!

isn't cooper someone who makes barrels?

yes

When I was pg I wanted to call my ds Cameron which I still really like....

...then I looked in a name meaning book and it meant something like 'bent nose' and I went off it a bit!

Oooooooooooooh! 'Ark at you 'Poisson'.

Touched a nerve did I?

Hehehehehehehehehehehe.
