Baby names?

tidetravel · October 2010

This is going to be a PAR, since I have to actually go do work. Anyway, DH and I were throwing around possible girl names if new baby is a girl. We're both keen on Lorelei for a first name, but are stumped for a middle name. Our last name starts with a S and has 3 syllables.

Any suggestions?

barbbhoww · October 2010

Something short and one syllable since her name will be so long.

Like...

Jane, Jean, Marie,

Or I personally like

Michelle, Mackenzie, Katherine, Nicole with that name!

katiewhompus · October 2010

You are not allowed to use Lia, or Aralia (please!)

Are you thinking regularish middle name or fun middle name?

katiewhompus · October 2010

Ooooh I like Lorelei Michelle S. It has a nice ring to it.

pixiedust84 · October 2010

That's so fun!! I love that name. My cousin is due in December and is naming hers Lorelei! Don't worry though that's the only Lorelei I know - it's very unique.

Anyways - I love Rose with that name. Lorelei Rose. Cute.

Other suggestions would be Faye and Belle. Clearly I like a one syllable name with Lorelei :-)

LessThanZero · October 2010

Lorelei Ann(e)

Lorelei Jane

Lorelei Grace

Lorelei Lynn

Lorelei Quinn

Lorelei Kay(e)

reddy123 · October 2010

Since you said S with three syllables I'm imagining her first and last being Lorelei Sassafrass.

[Deleted User] · October 2010

Ooh, I like pixie's suggestion of Belle. Plus I just got Beauty & the Beast on DVD so of course I love that name. Or Lorelei Lane. It's hard, all my favorite girl names are long.

If you have a boy will you name him Sebastian? Pretty please? Or Gabriel?

SarahPLiz · October 2010

Ann, Sophie, Leigh, Denise, Michelle, Beth

katiewhompus · October 2010

I love the name Sebastien but H already vetoed it if we ever have a boy

Manwaithiel · October 2010

You stole my future daughter's name. We are now enemies

But for realz...I like Michelle as well. I'm also partial to...

Lorelei Grace
Lorelei Kelly
Lorelei Ann

Posted by katiewhompus[/QUOTE]

Well, tell him that I said Sebastian is back on the table. We aren't having kids, so someone I know needs to name their kid that. I absolutely love the name. Why doesn't he like it?

I also love Boone and Sawyer. I may or may not have a pirate statue named Boone Sawyer. Or another statue of a pirate holding a monkey's hand named Sebastian (the pirate, not the monkey, his name is RumRunner).

pixiedust84 · October 2010

Ohh Lorelei Grace is cute!

Katie Sebatian is a great name. Did he veto it for a middle name? You could always try to get around the veto. haha

We're 90% sure that Liam is going to be our boy name. We were 100% sure on Kaylee as a girl name but now I don't know anymore.

Sesh you are really going to love Belladonna too. Omg so good.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Baby names? : That's fabulous :) I have most of the names for my series that maybe one day I'll write, but keep changing them so yeah. I also had a crazy dream the other night that resulted in a 4 page rough outline of a book. I can't decide if I want the main character to be Rhea or Lia though. One of the main males is Mateo and I can't figure out the other one to save my life. I think he might want to be a Robert.
Posted by katiewhompus[/QUOTE]

I'd go for Rhea, because I usually end up on the more unique name. The main girl in my new book is Whisper. And dreams make the best stories. If mine weren't such horrific nightmares that I didn't mind reliving, I'd turn them into books for sure.

For your other guy. What about Logan, Aidan, Roman, Brent? These are all names on my list.

LTZ--you take that back! Sebastian is a fantastic name. And Liam was katie's name, not mine.

tidetravel · October 2010

Thank you everyone! I was thinking a 1 sylablle name, too, but I couldn't actually think of any. I'm not sure what are my favorites. I'll talk to DH when I get home

Sesh - if it's a boy, he will be Tristan Shayne.

[Deleted User] · October 2010

I love that name, Tide. Tristan is on my boy list but I haven't come up with the right character to suit the name yet. is it wrong that I kind of hope you have a boy so he will have that name?

Posted by Seshat411[/QUOTE]

No. DH wanted me to have boy/girl twins the first time around so that we could name them Tristan and Taryn. I love the name. Shayne as a middle name has been passed down through DH's family for 4 generations. If we have a boy, it will be 5.

Excellent!

katiewhompus · October 2010

I love Aiden as well, I just worry my kid would be tortured since it's a super popular name right now.

Yeah she started out as Rhea so I might take her back (yay find and replace Word function). What's a good name for a bad guy King?

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Baby names? : Hmm, depends. Do your characters have normal people names or made-up names? The bad guy in my book is the Raven-Eater. Maybe Zane, Reiko, Rex, Arik (ay-rik, not eric)? Those are the ones I can think of off my list, but for evil kings I think 2 to 4 syllables sound best. Like King Kalanadrin (no idea where that name came from, it just popped into my head).
Posted by Seshat411[/QUOTE]

Oooh I like Zane for the good guy...ha, King Kalanadrin has a nice ring to it!.
I'm going for more made up names but still human names, if that makes sense. Like one of the main guys is Mateo but he is also going to be referred to as The White Prince or something slightly less cheesy. I might go for Viking type names for the King. I'm picturing him as this very dark, authorative, jackass type of guy. For some reason the idea of the "conquering Viking plundering the town" seems to fit the bill.

Blueyed228 · October 2010

I love the name Tristan as well but FI vetoed it. He seems to think if we have a son he will be Anthony the 3rd. He is sadly mistaken.

I like different names too since there were 4 Melissa's in my K class and my 2 best friends were Melissa growing up.

My sister named her daughter Effie (Eleftheria). Its a very common Greek name and has been in the family for a long time. I am not so sure I will go that unique, but definitely something original.

Chi_Chi · October 2010

I almost married a guy named Shayne. Spelled that way and all. I had never seen that spelling before so its cool that its a family name/spelling. And I love Tristan.

jemmini6 · October 2010

My sister is pregnant right now and her girls name is Lorelei also. I forget what she said the middle name is though. I think it's a cute name and definitely WAAAYY better than their original girls choice...Oksana.

Her boys name is Howard (again, forgot the middle name). It was our uncle who had Down Syndrome, we were all really close to him. My boys name choice was going to be Aiden Howard, but now Aiden is too popular and Howard is going to be taken. Guess we'll find another one (I wasn't that attached to it, just something I thought sounded good together)

Wow! I had a great Aunt Effie and everyone always said it must be some Greek name derivative. It turns out her Father heard someone (with a Greek name) called Effie, but didn't know the real name so the name on her birth certificate is Effie! We always assumed it would have been Euphemia. I've never heard the name your sister used before but it is lovely.

For Tide: I like middle names as family name derivatives. Either first name versions of last names or your own first or middle name. I also like to stick to the Mother's side of the family since the Father's is represented by the last name.

Otherwise, with Lorelai I like Brianne for some reason... I don't know.

jasmineh7777 · October 2010

Lorelei Eve sounds like a perfume.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown · October 2010

Even though it's long, I like Elizabeth. I think you need something classic with Lorelei (love the name, btw).

thesuninherhead · October 2010

Sorry I'm late, but I'm going to throw in my suggestions anyway! My current favourites for girl's middle names are Rose and Ivy (if we have a girl, we will use Rose as a middle name).

PS: I've never heard of the name Lorelei before. How do you pronounce it? It looks pretty with Rose as a middle name, but not sure how it sounds! Lorelei Rose.

Baby names?
