I want twins and I want to name them Daniel and Danielle!

I don't really want twins....one at a time is enough for me.

But I am a twin myself, my name is Stephanie and my twin is Stephen. My parents also considered Oliver and Olivia. My middle name is Danielle....I really wish my parents named me that instead! But Stephanie Danielle is a nice combo regardless.

I absolutely KNOW that I am adopting, so I am not sure whether or not I will have the chance to name my children.

I have three kids already. Leanna, Bobby, and Allison.
I always wanted to have a girl and name her Celeste.
That name is so cool.

Sabrina! That is what I would have called my daughter if I'd had one. And Sebastian or Brayden for a boy.

I can go through name dictionaries and fall in love with all sorts of names. I also know of websites where you can find name suggestions, including gods and goddesses, flowers, pet names, etc.

Right off the top of my head, if I had a son, I think I'd like him to be named Ethan, and if I had a girl, Rachael.

I have always loved the name Georgianna. I think it is so beautiful.

I doubt I'll have kids, and if I do, I doubt I'd convince anyone that that name is a good idea.

My little girl that I miscarried would have been Shannon Rose. Too old to have kids now.

I always liked Foghorn LegHorn for a boy. It is a bit pretentious for a little guy, so I thought I'd just shorten it to, Horny.

Alexander James was a chosen name, but I had girls.

Nicholas Blake was the other chosen boy name.

Others I liked: Kevin, Jason, and Caleb.

Why don't you decide to go by your middle name then? My husband does and my aunt changed her first name officially to something she preferred.

I was so jealous when I got married; my husband could use his "nickname" because it was one of his official names but I had to use my formal first name because my nickname is not really my name but a "pet" version of it.

Magnus for a boy.
Gemma (or Jemma) for a girl.

My parents gave me terrible names. Both my first and last names were a source of embarassment when I was growing up. And, I still hate them. Most people mispronounce my first name, few can spell it, many have never heard of it and some can't pronounce it at all. Oddly, I often get compliments now that I am an adult. I feel like replying - don't compliment me, I didn't name myself. Oh, and by the way, never call me by that awful name ever! Please, please, please give your children decent names so they are not teased growing up.

I wanted to get pregnant a second time but it did not work out. Had it been a girl, I would have named her Amelia. Caleb had it been a boy.

Hmm, there's a few names I could think of if I ever had a child someday. All female mind you.

Raine is a really beautiful name. Ever since I saw that name in Final Fantasy 8, I thought what a lovely name. Julia as well, probably also down to that game too, haha. Always liked the name Madison for some reason as well.

We had thought about trying for another baby, and we would have called him/her either Noah James or Kimberly Elisabeth. Jamie was also in the running for either boy or girl, as a tribute to my husband's late little brother.

But, we then decided we're good with the two kiddos we have. It's too bad, I really like Noah James.

I absolutely adore the name Astrid for a girl and a close second is Imogen.

As for a boy I find it really tough to find any I like!
