Hmmm, do people "grow up" to "look" like their name? What comes to mind when you think Bertha? or how bout Gilbert? We named our daughter Marisa & son Marcus.

My 1 yr.old granddaughter is Marleigh Quinn Hxxxx. Her mother's middle name is Leigh (a family name used as a middle name "Lee" by others).

"Also, names that don't translate well in other countries should be avoided. The French, for example, hate it when a girl is called Sherry."

Well, I don't know about that. My name is Cherie and the French people I know (quite a lot) think it's charming. They might not understand the theory behind U.S. naming practices, but they don't *hate* them.

I've always loved the name Ruby for a girl. Dorothy, too. Oh wait... I'm starting to see a pattern

Hey atilla, my name is Tressa. I do like it a lot. I used to hate it when I was younger because I never met anyone else named Tressa, but now I love it. It's not weird or bizzare sounding but it's rare and very nice.

PS- I'm new here. I came across this site and enjoyed reading all the entries.
My porn name is Foo-Foo Softwater

Sarina, Sage, Tressa, Remina, Aurora, and Julie are some of my favorite names for girls.

I am a huge fan of allthebabynames.com. It is a great site to help you choose a name for your new baby.

So islandmom, rather than only let this thread be spammed after a four year sleep, what did you eventually name your child?

And my porn name would be Peter Bunny Acacia

I'd say go to the social security administration's website for baby names, type in "SSA" "baby names" and it will tell you the top 1000 names for babies in 2008. Disregard the first 50 and then choose something from farther down the list. Definitely avoid Emily,Hannah, Chloe, Emma and Abigail, all very popular. If a boy, forget Noah, Jacob, Michael etc. Also personally I'm sick of Madison, Reily, Bailey, Hailey, Tyler, Taylor etc. etc. but that's just MO.
