we are really really struggling for the right girls name for this baby. We want something a little different but not too out there. Im hoping the name will jump out at me and was hoping you wonderful ladies could give me some ideas. Please anything you think of! ------------- KOBE born 19 March 2004 http://www.TickerFactory.com/">

I have a friend who called her little girl Elliot, I have never heard of that before and it has really grown on me. Another friend in Aussie has Brynn and one of my favourites is Evason.
Where did you get Kobe from that is lovely?  hey what about Suri..........

lol go Tomkat ....look tom theres a couch! off u go!
i like the name Bryn but i'll use it one day (i hope) for my son, my grandad was Brian but it was shortened to Bryn. Um do u want an unusual name or a classic name? what kind of sound do u like? soft like Melissa or edgier like Brooke? |

I like Cheyenne, Mikayla (sp?). I'm not too good at picking names but Cheyenne is my neices name and Mikayla is what we were going to call this one if it was a girl.

ooh I like Elliot for a girl, will have to run that past hubby. We like all sorts, our short list at this stage is Chloe, Jemma and Willow but Im not sure any of them is the perfect name yet so its great to get ideas from you all thanks.
Deharn I Kobe is an american basketball player and also a town in Japan I think but pronounced differently. Then I heard that Kobe Bryant was being done for rape and I thought hmm maybe not but we went to Aussie and a girl in McDonalds was called Kobe but spelt Khobi, we both saw it, looked at each other and said oh do you see her name!(one of those had to be there moments) but we thought yep thats the one whether he was a boy or girl, just would have spelt it differently. ------------- KOBE born 19 March 2004 http://www.TickerFactory.com/">

I liked Reese or Jaimee for a girl,also like Greer and Blair, but we couldn't agree on any. Hubby liked Caitlin and Nicole, but (no offence, Kelly)I knew 2 snottly nosed dirty little girls with those names, and UGH. In the end, JJ would have been Jaimee Lindley or Reese Kindley (his mums name) For a boy our other name was Nicholas and our original name was Jed, but we made the mistake of telling people and got some horrid reactions.. (still love it, though) ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

Yeah, I'm hearing you about the reactions - I'm thinking of keeping our chosen names to ourselves until after baby is born and named, so people who don't like it will be less likely to try 'putting us off' it! Had a stink reaction to boys names I love from the first person we talked names with... hmmmm.
Girl's names are so fun!!! There's heaps of gorgeous ones out there! I'm loving Scarlett, Hannah, Layla, Emma, Georgia, Alexa, Kristie, Aroha, Kaitlyn, Naomi (sounds nice in Japanese too if you like Japanese names), Eva, and another name that's pretty popular round these parts but if we have a girl we're using it for her with her Grandmother Grace's name as a middle one, so I won't say what! ------------- Andie |

LOl no offence taken mate....there are plenty of names i wont use because of people i know with those names,and its not like caitlyns name had any special meaning to me...i shut my eyes and opened the name book....pretty risky way of doing it! Anyway, Kyla, Kyra, Addison, Sharnia,Akeisha,Kadisyn,Shyla. i like Emily but i also really like Paige. |

Addison is nice - I'm stuck on Caitlin Grace if it's a girl and Samuel Logan Nicholas if it's a boy....the last two have been Andrew William and Sean Krisian...it would be nice to have a girl in the family to balance out some of the testosterone... ------------- |

My favourite girls names are Chloe, Gabrielle, Lauren, Lydia, Isabella and Micha Boys are Issac, Zachary, Noah, Benji, Rueben and Jackson BUT seeing we are not having anymore so that list is obsolete

Hubby and me are locked in a battle about names now - neither of us really loves the others favourite names. Hubby wants Kiya and I dont. we cant seem to find one name we both love.
I love Ashlee and Jaimee but our surname ends in a "lee" sound and it inst ideal, but i think i could get over that. I also love Mika (Meeka) but everyone in our family threw their hands up in horror - but i still like it. i thought once we knew teh sex it would be easier to find a name but looks like it is gettign harder - i really want something a little different adn unusual but not so different and unusual that people say "huh?" when we say the name you know? ------------- Mrs Frantic Baby Maddisyn born 28 Sept 2006 http://lilypie.com">

| I had never heard the name addison until Kelly came up with it but have since heard it 4 different times but still love it. I love Mika thats nice. My friend is going to call her baby Kiya if they have a girl. My other girls names were Chloe, Molly, Bella, Breanna (Bre) and hubby wanted Trinity but the minute we heard Addison we knew that was the one, just like we did with Kobe. He would have been that boy or girl but spelt Khobi if he was a girl. I hope a name jumps out at you soon. |

Yeah I heard that too as my parents told me its one of the most popular names in america.
The only boys name we like is Riley. Girls names Cady, Ruby, Keira to name a few. Like addison as well but really need other boys names. Its funny its such a big delmore I guess I think this kid is gonna be stuck with this name the rest of 'its' life so better make it a good one.
