If you had children, what would you name them?

Yes, I am aware of the other two threads on the topic of names already around, but they are separate from this specific topic. And I'm also curious. I wince when I think of the names I liked when I was a little kid, but I've now thought about taking the names of people I admire. I happen to be named after a relative, who was named after a relative, who was named after Alfred the Great (probably, the records are hazy). So I'm Alfred III, by family.

So, are you named after a famous person? Are you even named after a beloved relative?

I already have a name set for a girl which will be called Claire Starla (assuming the mother is fine with the name).

I'm completely stumped with what to call a boy though because I want my children to have names that have good meanings and I believe that its harder to find good names that fit both of their meanings for boys. There are more names that have nice meanings for girls from what I've researched.

I'm named after my birthday: Noel.

If I end up having a child on some sort of special occasion, there's my inspiration.

Otherwise, a normal yet uncommon name is good.

Guessing you were born on Christmas then.

Edit: *checks profile* I was right.

Correcto.

On another note, it's surprising how many people on this site know each others' names.

I will have twins.
They shall be known as Tea and Crumpets.
And as for my name, I swear my mum just gave me the longest possible name she could think of. Then ironically gave me a 5 letter middle name. :(

Chris is your middle name. New fact of the day C: Also, I agree with those twin names.

Your hipsterness shows even in your choice of naming.

Male child for me would be Alex. Female would be Zoey.

Obviously ???, after THE ???.

I'm sorry, I had to do that after I saw "Silver"

In all honesty, though, I think a relatively normal name would be best.
Y'know, something that wouldn't get my kids ass kicked.

Probably Duncan for a boy, but I don't know about a girl.

I was born on Christmas Day too, Rai, and the religious people in my family (particularly my grandparents) wanted to call me Emmanuel! So my parents compromised by naming me after my great-grandfather.

I would name a boy Bertrand after Bertrand Russell, and as for a girl, perhaps Jessica after Jessica Mitford.
