LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 There's three names I've grown fond of, and if I have children these are at the top of the list. William/Will. It just sounds nice, and versatile, William/Will could be anything. Astrid. It's a really pretty name imo. This would be for the first girl. Penelope/Penny. Love this name, don't have a real reason. Except it sounds really cute with my last name, which of course I'm not revealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except it sounds really cute with my last name, which of course I'm not revealing. Yes. So much this. I love the name Penelope so much, if I ever have a daughter that will be her name. I think it has to do with the character in LOST, but it is also the name of Odysseus's wife... so that is cool, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 My favorite name is obviously Gurren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMRenji Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 I'll probably name my son something like idk, Nicholas. Throughout my life I've known a lot of Nicks, and all of them are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delibirb Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 You dont happen to have my English teacher, do you? Because this is what we talked about in class today. o.o Anyway, ill say in here what I said in there: I like my name, it comes from my two Grandfathers' first and middle name (One from each). I prefer to think i've come to define what my name means, not that my name defines who I am. Also, when you Google my name the first three results are former Dukes, one of whom is the father of William the Conqueror. Oh, and I want my son to by [My name], Jr. Because I personally thing legacy names are really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 My name is fine. It feels rather bland to me, but that's because I've lived with it for over 2 decades. It may seem cooler to someone else. As for names I like, as a writer, I've got quite a few of them just by looking up names for characters. Favorites at the moment are Caiden, Aiden, Erik, William, Flynn, and Ennis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Rai Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 What about Erik makes it better than Eric? Natively Scandinavian name, rather than bastardised into English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 For my own name, it's alright, got too used to it to say if it's cool. And like Agro as a writer I go through a lot of names. The ones I mentioned are my current favorites. But another problem is I make so many characters that if I ever named a child I'd have to be careful about naming them after my own characters. (For instance love the name Aiden but I have an arrogant a**hole character named Aiden in some stories.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 What about Erik makes it better than Eric? Natively Scandinavian name, rather than bastardised into English. I'm Finnish, so yeah. Either name is actually fine. It comes down to spelling and I know several Eric/Eriks. It's just that the one I've been e-mailing a lot is Erik, my editor, so I used that. I don't care much about "bastardizing," as spelling is very arbitrary when it comes to names, and in the end, rather meaningless, with the pure purpose just to do something different (which I can support) It's why we have interesting names like Shaniqua Whatever that was supposed to be.

Maeriberii Haan Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I like the name Alice, though it was mainly due to me being somewhat obsessed with Alice in Wonderland on my younger days. Kinda liked my real name, though I really wished I didn't get a girl-ish name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I like the names Jaden and Robin a lot, for whatever reason. I might name my kids those some day, though maybe not. I also have a particular penchant for the name Christian since it's basically a family name for me at this point. Names I don't care for...I'm probably gonna offend some people here and I apologize, but I don't like the name Michael. It's so freaking common that it feels over-saturated for me. At my one bussing job, I have come to work with 7-8 different Mikes over the course of 3 years. Not to mention the 10 Mikes I knew from high school and a Mike I'm good friends with right now.

EPTinYugi Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 If I have a daughter: Hina. Serious: Since my name is made up and based on my mom's name, my mom is helping strengthening the stereotype of Black people. Hooray! I always liked the name Corey and Carlos, from magic school bus because he my bro, but I'm not Spanish, so it would be weird for my kid unless he have some kind of Spanish in him. For my dog or other kind of pet: Toshi.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I like my name, since I'm technically named after a mythological hero. (Might explain why the protagonist in a fic of mine is named after me) As for other names, don't think I have that many outside of Sakura (which I use for naming a lot of my pets / my current nick here and on some other sites), my girlfriend's name and some other Japanese names I look up on some name site.

It just sounds nice, and versatile, William/Will could be anything. My name is Will. If you want your child to be bullied at school for being called "willy", "willy ham" etc. then by all means call your child Will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
