What girls/boys names do you prefer?
I'm curious, what ethnic background do these names come from? Perpetua Mushval Herbert - I don't like this one. Mulgoid-Rosalie Herbert - Mulgoid doesn't really sound attractive. I'd rather go with Rosalie. Wilma Svetch Herbert - Wilma is all right. Gurtrude Annalise Herbert - Gurturde doesn't sound attractive either. I do like Annalise though. Toulet Zacoria Herbert - Toulouse would sound better. Toulet sounds too close to toilet. Zacoria is interesting Matilde Mudghonme Herbert - Oh, that middle name is going to be difficult for him to spell. Matilde sounds too close to Matilda. Francence Scott Alonsis Herbert - Wow. Four names? How about Scott Francence Herbert... although Francis would look better than Francence. Snileth Mhere Robert Herbert - Four again? Snileth sounds too... sly, like a sneaky adviser going for the throne. Mhere looks interesting. Don't know how it would be pronounced, though. Perhaps Robert Mhere, or Mhere Robert?
Do you like your name? If not, what name would you prefer and what interesting story would you have about how your name was given to you?
The name I use here is my chosen name.I simply had to have something with “FAB” in it.More aspirational than indicative.Zawa Rinpoche - (a Tibetan Monk now living in Canada) gave me the Tibetan name Lobsang Gyatso - “Beautiful mind like an Ocean” or “Ocean of Pure Thoughts” - EVIDENTLY more aspirational rather than indicative.Sri Lankan monk Bhikkhu Kasyapa gave me the Pali name “Visuddhi” meaning “Pure” when I took Upasaka Upāsaka and Upāsikā - Wikipedia vows with him - AGAIN more aspirational than indicative.Indicative names would have been more like: “Manipulative Parasite” or “Spoilt Brat.”The name I was given at birth was typical at the time of my birth, yet revealed a lack of imagination on the part of my parents.During the 70’s many British born Poles were given the names Robert (my brother’s name) or Marek (my given name). If anyone yelled these 2 names at Polish School during the 80’s - maybe over 70% of the boys would raise their heads. Half a dozen Polish families living within spitting distance from my Mama’s house - each of them have a son named either Robert or Marek.There are many more interesting Polish names, yet UK resident Poles didn’t want their kids to be picked on for their names so often chose names that were the same or similar in both languages (Robert- same, Ryszard for Richard, Edward - same, Andrzej for André, Józef for Joseph, Piotr - Peter, Mariusz- Marius, Dariusz- Darius, Aleksander - Alexander)Girls’ names were easier - Anna, Maria, Barbara (shortened to Basia, pronounced Bash-a), Renata (shortened to Renia), Krystyna, Wanda (Vanda in Polish pronunciation) Daniela, Iwona (pronounced Ee-von-a) Anita, Monika, Joanna (Poles pronounce it Yo-anna).Male names I love: Balthazar, Benedict, Dominic, Matthias, Silas, Cesare, Cyrus, Cyprian, Silas, Maximillian, Solomon, Fabrizio (OBVIOUSLY) Erasmus, Thaddeus, Menno, Oliver, Vladimir, Nikolai, Salvatore, Silvester, Sylvian, Julius, Zenon, Quentin, Tarquin, Rameses, Benjamin, Joshua.Girls’ names? That would be a long list.
Do you prefer Emery as a boy or girl name?
I think that Emery is absolutely gorgeous for a boy. Yes, it does sound a tad similar to Emily but that doesn't automatically make it feminine and I wish people would realise that! If you want proper feedback on such a distinguished, classical boy name then I suggest you head on over to Nameberry if you haven't already. The users on there give intelligent, well-thought-out feedback and put their rationality before their own tastes more often than not. Whereas the users on here are almost all trendy name lovers who wouldn't recognize a proper boy name if it ran around their neighborhood starkers. On the whole, I think it's great and while I LOVE Emery Isaac, Isaac Emery is chic, distinctive, sophisticated and entirely elegant and classical, there is no question. I think it's nice and if you do as well then you should go for it; especially since middle names aren't on public broadcast like first names are. I personally know plenty of boys named Hamish, Barnaby and Alexander with 'girly' middle names like Lynn and Alexis and they've never had any trouble with them. :3
Do you prefer the boy's name Jimmy or Timmy?
I strongly dislike Jimmy. I like Timmy though. Even if Jimmy & Timmy sound a bit young-ish, they can always be shortened to Jim or Tim, so that's ok.
What do you think of the boys name Jagger?
Like I said above although i do like Mick Jagger it has nothing to do with that - also im sure most of the kids he is in school with wont know anything about Mick Jagger n the Rolling Stones? The only nicknames I can come up with are Jag - which I still like and Jager, which happens to be a favorite drink of mine, ha ha ha so thats fine too... It has become a more common name, it made it on the top 1000 of the Social Security list for last year and a few other years... I dont want to use that as the middle name - I am asking for opinions as a first name. Thanks
Which name do you prefer: Charles or Robert?
I love Charles-- Charlie is so cute and really worked well for modern tastes, but has great history to it. Robert is nice too, but I don't like Rob or Robbie much, which he would definately get. I vote for Charles Robert, nickname Charlie. Love it!
Which name for a boy do you prefer: Godric or Livius?
Godric is an Old English name which means "power of God". Saint Godric is a medieval saint who was greatly loved for his kindness to animals - even allowing snakes to warm themselves by his fire. Livius is a Roman family name which either means "envious" or "blue". Titus Livius, also known as Livy, was a Roman historian who wrote a history of the city of Rome. It is the male form of Livia (no connection to Olivia or Liv). These names are both a little unusual, but which one do you like most or dislike least? Or which one do you think is most usable today?
