KIDS!!!

[Vuyi]

Most of all its important to that both parents must be involved when a newborn is named, so to me its not about other people but its about you, your partner and your newborn so the name must be meaningful to all parties involved, eg my name is Vuyisa (Voo;Yee;Sa) which means "bring joy" thats South African by the way, so the meaning must involve the parents, child and even the nation, another example is Nelson "Rholihlahla" Mandela well the name Rholihlahla means expose the dirty tree, and he lived up the meaning of his name, he was arrested for 27 year as political prisoner and thats what exposed the apartheid which was here at S.A. After his realese he became the 1st democratic elected president and he did not only expose apartheid he put an end to it, so without his name he would not have lived his life with a mission of exposing apartheid

i like nmaes jesse james for boy or aaron or for girl amber lynn

 

[seoulsearch]

Those are great! Especially if you have a twin boy and a girl, so they can be Jude and Jade.



You betcha! It's a nice Italian name. But I'll only name a boy that if he looks tough, cuz that's a tough guy's name.

I'm voting for twins named Guido and Fido...

I've considered many names for children before. If it's the LORD's will I'll live and have children. Sophia(for a girl), Humil for a boy and Humilty for a girl, Merci (either), Charity, Love, Hope, Faith, Grace (girls).

Okay I've gotta say it...

I despise when Christians feel the need to name their children biblical names. Fair enough if you legitimately like a name, and it happens to be from the bible. No worries. What I mean is when people have lots of kids, and naming every one of their kids bible names. I mean, do they think it's gonna score them brownie points with God or something?

I know a family the kids names are Ruth, Esther, Hannah, Luke and Benjamin...SERIOUSLY? Yes, they were Pastor's Kids.

Now those names above I mentioned aren't objectionable. They are what we would class as 'normal' names, but there was a pattern.

There are some crazy families who not only do biblical names, but ridiculous biblical names like 'Boaz, Keturah, Habakkuk, Naboth, or Jehoshaphat.

I also dislike rhyming names, and names that start or end with the same letter/s.

hahahahahahahaha that's a good point ira.

my parents did that with us, all biblical names, but yeah i dont know why....good point.

the only reason i would pick biblical names for MY children is that they sound cool....jehoshaphat, nebbudchanezzar, zebulun, etc. awesome names.

So that poor little Nebbudchanezzar could join the facebook group ' people who always have to spell their names for other people'...yeah he's gonna love you for that.

 

[iraasuup]

And while we're at it, like I said I have strong disdain for rhyming names like 'Marilyn and Carolyn' or 'Ben and Jen' or 'Seth and Beth' eww or worse names with the same letter... Ben, Brodie, Brooke, Bailey and Bethany. Lara, Lachlan, Larissa. Ashley, Adam, Anna *shudder*

The worst attempt I have ever seen of parents trying to be original is a family with 3 boys and 3 girls. The boys names all started with D and the girls names all ended with A. I also went to school with 2 sisters, whose Mother (for whatever reason) thought it would be cool if their initials were their names. So there was Samantha Anne Murphy or initials of S.A.M (Sam - short for Samantha) and Kimberly Indigo Murphy or initials of K.I.M (Kim-short for Kimberly).

 

[Kathleen]

my gran and granpa- my dads mum and dad

I'm with you man! Old school biblical and greek names carry a lot of weight with them. Both in history, and in gravitas, if you know what I mean. The modern penchant for phonetic and mispelled names (like krys, lyn, marc, whatever) fails to deliver.

Also, some of the coolest kids (and the weirdest) I remember had the strangest names. Like Boreas. I'm pretty sure it was because they either overcame (or failed to overcome) their name. If you raise them up well to walk with God (and teach them to box), hopefully they'll be the cool ones that overcome.
