5. Good Name.

Plus, I like Ronnie as a nic.

[eileen from OH]

6. Colleen and Elizabeth

and both daughters actually like them. Elizabeth - i.e. "Beth" was a name I loved after reading LITTLE WOMEN. I still remember my Beth confronting me on it after she read it herself. . ."So, you named me after a DEAD girl?"

This may explain why she chooses to go by her middle name - Allyn.


eileen from OH

[Limbought]

10. Allyn

Do you call her Ally?

[eileen from OH]

12. Nope.

And nobody else does either. To us she's "Beth" and to her college friends she's "Allyn." My husband and I knew an "Allyn" when we were kids and we loved the combination of the two names.

I will let you guys in on a secret my middle name is Ann and my Mom use to call me Annie.

Although, what I like most are the names of my daughter, Sonja Isabel

16. Nicole...translated Victory of the People.

This is why I chose this for my daughter even knowing that every 3rd child in her class would sport the same name. :hi:

[dolgoruky]

18. Evdokia...

... Praskhovia, Evpavel, Tractorina, Oktyabrina.

Oh, I forgot... So'nka... "little sleep".

[greatauntoftriplets]

17. Grania.

The Irish form of Grace. Also can be spelled Grainne, though that would tend to be mispronounced as "grain".

[dolgoruky]

20. I thought it was pronounced

"Gronya", like "Sonya"

[greatauntoftriplets]

22. It is. I can just hear people in the US pronouncing "Grainne"

as grain. Grania is a better phonetic spelling.

27. Nobody ever picks my name (Barbara)...

and it used to be quite popular many many years ago. *pout*

[dolo amber]

I was having this convo

with Shortbus' sister last weekend...she's got a lovely name, and she was saying how she doesn't like it but people are always telling her how pretty it is...I'm all like "Man! No one has EVER said to me 'Ooooh, Diane is such a pretty name!' "

*Joins in Velma's pout*

;)

[VelmaD]

35. Well, I like your name...

Diana is my favorite goddess from classical mythology. :-)

[dolo amber]

37. Why thankya, ma'am!

<tips hat>

She did pretty much kick ass, huh? ;)

I like your name as well, and look at it this way...at least you know who people are talking to when they say "Hey, Barbara". You could've been called Ashley or Brittany or some other name that half the females in this country have. :eyes:

[VelmaD]

38. True

Sometimes I feel bad for my niece being stuck with Amanda. It's a pretty name but there are umpteen jillion Amandas her age.

I actually like my name, especially when people pronounce it right (there are 3 syllables in Barbara). I was just pouting 'cause no one ever says it's their favorite.

[MissMillie]

40. When people are asked what names they like

They never say my name, but then when they hear my name they all say "that's a pretty name".

For the record, it's MaryAlice.

[MissMillie]

28. Caroline, Constance, Candace, Brandis

I'm a sucker for old-fashioned names

[ellie]

my daughters...

[Muesli]

31. Glenn is a name?

I thought it was a Scottish word for valley.

Gwen(dolyn) is a name.

I like: Gertruida, Mariken, Jacoba and Beppie.

I know a guy who wants to call his future daughter quinqueloquelina, after some sort of dinoflagellate.

I hope his wife will be someone able to stand up to him.

[Anaxamander]

32. Yuri... *sigh*

As in a Japanese female, not a Russian male.

It's such a pretty name.

It means lilly.

It's my ex-gf's name. *sigh* What could have been.

I named my guitar Aisling (it means "dream" or "vision" for you non-Celts!)

How about Fionnuala?

[SiobhanClancy]

[slackmaster]

42. Mary Ann

:evilgrin:

[creativelcro]

45. Forkilia

[SOteric]

47. Gertrude, Beulah, Henrietta, Prudence, Penelope

One of the sad facts of threads like this is that inevitably someone with a perfectly charming ethnically traditional name always gets left out.

[populistmom]

49. You have a beautiful name!

I forget if you're name is "out" or not to everyone on DU, so I won't say it, but I love your name! :)

[GOPisEvil]

51. Agreed. I've said before your name is lyrical and beautiful.

As opposed to mine, which is just sexy. ;-)

[Rabrrrrrr]

57. And not just sexy - but godly

:evilgrin:

[SOteric]

60. You *do* have an especially sexy name.

And that hat's pretty steamy, too. :evilgrin:

[Iris]

52. Katherine, Elizabeth, Josephine, Bronwyn, Jane

[Iris]

55. SOteric - you are right-it would be refreshing to meet a 6 yr. old named

"Trudy"

I love that nickname.

[Endangered Specie]

53. Jordan, Ellen

[jimbo fett]

56. Frank. Or maybe Balthasar...?

[greeneyedpookie]
