View Full Version : The Significance of 'Names'
I was wondering - What Names do other TiBBers like? For example, when you potentially reflect upon your future children's names - what pops up in your mind? Do you think about this a lot? Does it correlate at all with your BB favorites? Is it influenced by your daily endeavor; your general surroundings?
I personally like the names Matt, Simon and Anthony for boys, and Rachel for girls. Concurrently, Matt is the name of my BBUS favorite. Anthony and Rachel are two of my BBUK favorites. Although BB had no significance to my liking of these names - what if it unconsciously did? Also, Matt, Simon and Rachel all happen to be names of Jewish decent (I'm unsure about the name Anthony). I think reflecting upon all this is very intriguing. What about you lot? :hugesmile:

The name Finn always makes me think of fish. :S
Yeah I like Jacob too.. and Isaac. I would have called my little boy James or John but don't like Jim , Jimmy or Jock which they would have become living in Scotland! I also liked Dominic but everbody told me I was just hormonal/insane so it kinda put me off.. Anyway.. I deceided on Samuel for boychild eventually
I don't really like any girls names and struggled naming my daughter.. eventually we came up with Lara which I love but there's not a lot that I'm keen on

27-09-2010, 07:45 PM
Ohh yeah and I like Charlie for a girl or boy too
I know somebody who has just called their baby Lettice... well I don't know them personally, but I know Lettice's uncle!
I don't know yet if it is pronounced the same way as "lettuce" or if it's Lettees?
I thought it was a made up name but apparently it is Gaelic (?)
I would only name my children traditional names; such as Elizabeth or William, it's just not in my nature to accept people with made up or unconventional names... one of my friends from Uni is called Bean, for example, it puzzles me how parents can give their child such a bizarre name, she has to repeat herself every time she gets introduced to someone because they can't quite believe what they just heard. I don't plan on having kids so I've never really thought about names, but yeah it'd be a traditional name. I was originally going to be named Reg(inald) after my grandfather but my mum thought that was a cruel name to give a child of the 90s, so they stuck a G on the front haha!

Bean?? You're joking? That's the name on her birth certificat?! But that's nothing short of cruel!!
Another thing that parents seem to forget is initials. I know of someone who's children (not kids now) are called P.Ness and his sister is A.Ness.. That is not a joke by the way!! Completely true!!

I like Henry and Kevin for boys. I also like William too eventhough it is a bit of a common name.
Henry is my favourite boy's name though!! :D
For girls.. it is harder to think of a name.. probably because there is so much choice!
I quite like Olivia! :)

Yeah! She has a double barrelled first name, Bean is one of them; on her driving licence and everything! Oh and don't get me started on initials, mine are GMP... gimp!!! Ugh, nice planning!!

Ohh.. yeah I'd forgotten about that.I love Olivia.My friends three girls are called Rowan, Amber and Olivia and i alway think they all have such lovely names. Seeing as she is a good name picker, I asked her to think of a good name for my daughter... she came up with Willow. Eh no! :laugh:

Bless you Raph! To be honest.. I do go off names if a person I don't like has that name. Sometimes your name reflects on the person? mmmmmm.

Eloise, which isn't a great name either :/

Well I have Olivia sorted then. I like Henry, Kevin and William for boys.
Need to think of another girl's name. I would like 2 kids when I am older.. so need to think of another girl's name just in case I have 2 girls. Lol I am sad. :hugesmile: joke!

I love the names Hazel and Eve for girls, I briefly thought about Eve for my daughter but it sounds too much like my name
Eloise, which isn't a great name either :/
Geez! So she's Bean-Eloise?or the other way round? Have her parents ever given a good reason for calling her Bean?
My mum nearly called me storm as there was an awful storm the night I was born plus the woman in the book she was reading in the hospital was called Storm!! I'm soooo glad she saw sense!! :laugh:

Other way round! I was only vaguely listening when she explained the story behind her name, but something to do with "looking like a bean", I dunno if that meant on an ultrasound scan, or when she was born (how graphic!??!) or what, but something along those lines! Uff, Storm would have been an awful name. I mean, it's quite a powerful name, but imagine going through childhood with that name!
It just makes me cringe to hear unconventional baby names, it's something I can't help and I don't treat the person any different, but I have a hard time getting used to them. My older brother's been married for two years now and baby talk has been banded about for a while now, they jokingly suggested calling a baby Achilles, Swastika and many other piss take names... it worries me that some people genuinely consider things like Achilles in all seriousness!

If I had any other children I like Finley-Joe for a boy and Ava-Olivia or Ava-Mae for a girl

29-09-2010, 10:20 PM
Elijah or Isaac for a boy
Or Kasai cause thats my middle name and I wish it was my first :(
Don't know about a girl
I'd love to call my kids after my mum but calling them Maggie and John is bordering on child abuse and her parents names aren't much better (Barry and Jane)
I hate this new trend of 'quirky' names, it just makes your kids sound retarded, my kids will just be called normal likes like Lewis, Joe etc
Kerry
29-09-2010, 10:28 PM
