Help[Opinions] Re: Name a kid
in reply to a message by JSJ
You should think about what type of names you like or what style you are drawn to. Here are some categories of names and some examples.
Traditional Names: William, Margaret, Richard, Katherine and Henry, Alexandra
Biblical Names: Noah, Daniel, Elizabeth, Mary, Elijah, Benjamin, Hannah, Samuel, Joseph
*Note: some Traditional names are also Biblical names and vice versa
Mythological Names: Penelope, Apollo, Thor, Athena, Phoebe, Odin, Cassandra, Daphne, Arthur, Tristan, Atlas
Nature Or Word Names: Violet, Rose, Lily, Ruby, Wren, Forest, Rowan, Jasper, Orion, Zephyr, Brooke
Modern Names: Jayden, Brayden, Nevaeh, Brielle Maverick & Jett
Nicknames As First Names: Jack, Liam, Freddie, Kate, Tommy, Lena, Edie
There are more categories but I don't want to write a book.
I think it's important for siblings to have names that are cohesive and complement each other. They should have names that sound good together and be well matched in style. It's important to give siblings their own names with different initials and endings. I think it's even more vital for twins because they're often thought of as a pair rather than two individuals. So please, no twins named Timmy & Kimmy. You and your husband can each write down 10-20 favourite names on a piece of paper. Then compare your lists. You may find you both like some of the same names or have totally different styles. Decide what style is most prevalent, then do some research on the Internet to make a comprehensive list. Another option is to buy a baby name book to peruse at your own pace. After you gather a list, you are always welcome to come back here and ask for our opinions on your names. Hope this helps. Good luck.
What would I name a child myself? One of my my favourite names from the following: Celeste, Evangeline & Genevieve for a girl and Gabriel, Julian & Tobias for a boy.
