More on the name game

[rkold]

A few caveats, while I am looking for some opinions, I don't care if you prefer other "V" names or other names which begin with a different letter. I also don't care if you prefer the "V" names and think they would make a better first name. It has been my fondest wish since my grandmother died in 1994 to have a little girl to name after her. So the "A" name is coming first. What name you all like the best is not necessarily the name I am going to pick, I'm just letting you all give a little input. I already have various family members all campaigning for their favorite lol

So the next stage with baby naming is finding out what various people think of when they hear a particular name. For example, when I say the name "Clementine" someone might think the song "Oh My Darling Clementine" while someone else might think those yummy little readily peelable oranges one eats in Winter. Anyone who would like participate, please make a comment with what is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the following names.

The following first names are our current top choices:

Adina

Alice

Anne

Anya

Aviva

The following list of names are our top choices for middle names:

Vera

Verity

I might be willing to consider suggestions for other girl's names that start with A but again, I want a name that is not popular of which all of the following are: Abigail, Alexandra, Alexis, Alison, Amelia, Audrey, Aubrey, Audra, Ava. I also do not like gender neutral names, WASPY surnames as first names (think Addison) and I don't want a name that sounds made up. Also I am paying attention to ethnicity of names, Akiko is a perfectly nice name, but sounds really sort of silly when no one in her family is Japanese.

Not really, just the CG one for Anya. But I can see how it's a problem for you xD

I like Anne too though. It's a wonderfully simple name =w= And it reminds me to Famous Five ♥

..I don't know this Famous Five at all... (which is one reason I love getting associations from people who don't just live in my area.) I get to read about associations I'd not know about any way.

BTW did you ever get the postcard I sent?

[jusrecht.livejournal.com]

Really? X3 It's a children book series that I like so much. It's also my first book ever! ♥

W-when did you send it? D: Not to my old address, I hope? ;w;

[rkold.livejournal.com]

From Japan and it was prob to your old addy since I don't have another addy for you. ;;_;;

I don't remember what the first book I read on my own was. I read an odd selection of children's books growing up lol

baaaaawwww then it means I missed your postcard ;w; I moved about six months ago and I honestly thought I had given you my new addy orz

Well, diversity is always good xD

Nope, which means you might have missed 2 since I sent one in February also. ^^;


You might want to give it to me since I am planning to send baby announcements! :D
