What's in a name

[sombrefan]

I've been giving some thought to names for the baby. My criteria is

1) Something easy to spell
2) Something kids won't take the piss out of.

It must said that I'm quite liking Eve at the moment cause I watched Wall-E last night.

Her name was Eva. And I like both of those!!

Somehow, Eva seems more modern than Eve.

Eva is simply the Dutch/German version of Eve.

So...

It's a girl? Or just exploring possibilities.

And Eve is a lovely name.

He's just exploring possibilities. We do not know gender yet!

Boy - Terry
Girl - Terri

Problem solved

With your #2 you should also take into consideration the combo with your last name! Combinations like James Jameson are a bit silly, me thinks. ;-)

For a boy, I'm a big fan of Sam.

Eve is a gorgeous name, and there aren't a lot of people named that these days. Well, maybe there are where you live, but not around here.

I think you need to meet him/her.

That being said, I like Nicholas and Gabriel for a boy.
I always liked Emma for a girl but that's a bit too popular now. Perhaps Sophie or Lily? Seems a bit old-fashioned but I like the older names.

For a boy: Colin, Joshua, Phillip
For a girl: Cassidy, Victoria, Whitney...although I LOVE Eve.

I'm so happy for you guys!!!

Matt Smith Fraser?

Sorry.

I like Andrew or Andrea. They go well with the last name. :)

OK, OK...

Is there anything wrong with naming after his or her mum or da?

(You have to admit that Andrew Fraser has a good, strong sound though.)
