Congrats knp!
Zoers Don't forget to add my ""hypothetical future children very ver far in the future thus far without a Dh,s input as he currently doesn't exist" in the vicarious category, as well as our pregnant members ;) Actually, it is nice to see another lover of Shannon. I've loved it since I was around 4/7
@ Brandi-Lee I have the same situation with the name BLair.people think that I am copying that show GOssip GIrl, when I had listed the name as a favourite many years before that show even existed! By the way, nice blog ! @ everyone I've been wondering lately - and I hope that this isn't too personal, but for those of you who have kids , how many do you have? The same goes for you expecting and for you NE's who aren't parents yet, how many would you like? Does that affect your fav name selections? Also, do you or have you found that as you have gotten older, that your "" true true"" Favs get less? Lately, I have been finding that there are more than enough names that I like and many would love to see on a person, but the amount of names that I can really, really imagine on a kid of mine and not tiring of at all has gotten lower. Most of them are t he names that I have loved from childhood that are surviving the "eternalfavs list" Please excuse the grammar- I'm typing on my iPod . Thanks
Laura,allow me to just say that you are utterly fabulous and this site deserves an award as it is honestly superlative ! Not even superb, superlative! Thank you for being fabulous! I find the stats funny as if I were Amrican and depending on whoever the future Mr lArksong is , my kids I'll either have really popular or not popular at all names, as I havelife long Favs in the top 10 and not in the top 1000!
Lovely! Thank you for some fun!
I wonder if he doesn't like Moroccan if he could go by Rocco ? Hey, I was wondering if you could help me .... Does anyone have ideas for a 3+ syllable middle name for the girl name Skye.... @Sharalyn ADORE Evangeline and the combo is great ..... Congrats! and BUnny is cute!
And it is a Charnelle not Charmaine .... My iPod auto corrected the spelling
FIRST names frommy newspaper ( i picked the more interesting and left the "boring"ones ) Sa names Willy Fiona Yvonne Lindy Clifford Rupert HesmA Field Lebo Mamie Gerrie Were all car salesmen and women or realtors The following range from criminals to teachers sportsmen and politicians: Flo Francois Shiaan EdiyA Semolin Nelisiwe Monie Charmaine Heila Phillipas Ramone Jabulani Jurie Ivy Benno Anellette Puleng Moaner Mondli By the way,the surnames and fn are not all pairs; the civilians privacyhave been protected ;)
By the way, Gerrie is not "Jerry" , If I am right in presumin he person is Afrikaans
Zoers You are hilarious! SURNAMEs from my newspaper ( I picked he one that I thought would be more interesting to you all): Surnames Bates Seedat Pittner Kruger Moir Coombs Du toit Culwick That's Sibisi Van wyk Engelbrecht De villiers Khoza Fikizolo Ndlovu Monite Bosch Kleynbooy Jordan Swanepoel Jonk Henning Dwyer Kluyts Radebe Nel Maree Mulder Leicher Fountain Lethoba Koopeti Tau Gunther Van heerden Kgasago Zeelie Reed Gungubele
I have been wondering when this would be released ! It will be really interesting to see the movement of my personal favs
Re : enough What you have all said is really nteresting and plausible, but if I had to guess it is most likely that it is really just Enough as in he English word. "Word" names are very popular in the BLack Afrcan community that aren't generally used in other places or many countries. As was said above, he GOodluck Jonathan analogy is a true and good example. Regarding the Enoch theory, that is very interesting and you taught me something, but I don't think it is too likely . Also, Enough was a girl. Maybe th family wanted some boys! P.s. Forgive typoes I am using my iPod My newspaper came for this week and I'll add the the new names and maybe surnames for a change To the expectant ladies, congratulations !!!! To the ladies who have asks for suggestions , the rest of he board has covered that fantastically .... Re: sophy from the previous thread I got the book by georgette Heyer and plan to read it soon
@Rylo Tatum -- a personal fav of mine.It always sounds like someone who is spunky and can take on the world! Everly -- though I admit to prefering Everleigh (the first spelling I saw. Actually, there's an area where I live called Everleigh) Teagen -- when said TEE-GIN like gihn not the alcohol Saylor Hadley Carson @AnnaBananna Amelia Reese (it feels fresh!) Claire Rylin Natalie Reid Madeline Rowan Hannah Ruby Addie Rose GRace Ryder I think Hannah Ruby flows the best,though @ fancynancy It's to protect people and retain their privacy. I've got symbols in my username becauase I had pc problems and was too lazy to battle to get my old log in to work, so I just kept the username and spelled it differently @RobynT Sorry for the delay! I can't tell you for sure, but it's MOST likely like the English word (when you've got people with names like Surprise, Gracious etc, it fits in) or said with some Afrikaans or Bantu Language inflection. When I read it, I assumed it's like the word. Sorry for the delay in replying!
Just to clarify , ROAR/RORE are exactly the same to me. Sorry, I didn't mean to open a can of worms!
@Zoerhenne RE: Octavia I'll have to politefully decline ;) @Yet Another Guest Yep. I am the South African who posts on here when I get a chance. The list I gave is from last week and those were the names I thought would be of the most interest. I swear Isak is around me everywhere! The age of the people I mentioned are from babies to golden oldies. They're also from all the races and languages. RE: Aurora Actually, I used to say it as ROAR and have heard other Saffa's say it as ROAR (there's an area somehwere called Aurora) .... so, it would depend on the area. My friend was actually a net bud and I might just have misunderstood her or hers was a particular. This confuses me, as I had looked it up before and seen it as RORE. Fortunately, I actually preferred ROAR, so it isn't a train smash... if anything, the train staid on the rails! THIS week's newspaper additions that I thought might interest you all. TAKE NOTE , these span all races, ages and languages, as I don't live in a very ''English'' area, so pronunciations are subject to change: Samkelo Dallas Wade Debbie (KID) Kattleen (KID) Prince Bonekile Thokazani Grand Reiner Dinda Didene Tarren Vaughan Jaylene Nkeliwa Rudolf Percy Sheree KIDS Lekita Elmarie Ockert Marnu Sahron Vasti Dianay Waldo Tavia Eliana Chohane Zantris Monia Janay Leon Jana Hendro Moya Elriet Jeantique Lee-Jamie Christelize (cris-tel-leez) Jayden (my first one,I think!) Enough Neo (nay-oh) Noluthand Unathi Marang There were mixed in between the Richard,James, Marcus etc (the more ''standard'' traditional)
@Amy 3 Thanks! That's really ironic, as when i first aw the name, I pronounced it as everyone else here has : except I say AW-rore-uh as opposed to 'ah' or some variant. I even looked it up and then my friend referred to it as ''roo'' ruh, which is why I swapped the pronunciation. Doubly ironic, is that I had to actually retrain myself to like it as ''roo' as I had really liked ''rore''. Just out of curiosity, if you all had to choose between the ROO and ROARR, would the pick still be Phoebe Aurora? @Mk I'm not really worried about people mispronouncing middle names one day, as the names are hardly ever used. I haven't done this for awhile, but here are some names from my local newspaper this last week: Shirley Henk Masila (muh-see-luh) Gracious Mulhan Lolo Nduduzi (n(click sound) duh-doo-zee) Innocent Bengina Luleka (loo-leh-kuh) Josina Jeanrett (jeen-ret or zhan-rhett) Eunice Fikile fih-kee-le Florence Jabulile Wilmot (vil mot) Marcelle Celeste Norbert Alroy Arnin Abdul Drienie (dree nee) Jop (yawp) Melda Blair Boet Isak (ee-suck) Gerda
Thanks! Sorry for the typos etc .... I was using my iPod last night to comment. RE: Aurora I used to say it as aw-roar-ruh and then I found out that it's apparently aw-roo--ruh and I became friends with an Aurora who used the roo pronunciation . I think a lot of people probably use the ''roar'' pronunciation as well @lilio Jane or Grace --- Jane Julia or Jacky --- Julia Amananda or Linden ---Linden Lucy or Rose -- could go either.I prefer Lucy Ella or Adaline ----Ella Piper or Pierce ---Piper which I adore Ruby or Kate ---- Ruby Ella,Ruby and Piper all sound like ''spunky.vibrant people''... very confident and aka friendly RE: Gabbie Grace If it's meant to be a double barrelled name, my own preference is to hyphenate it (I have a name like this), but I totally understand as to why many don't like. As a pairing, it sounds really sweet, but I don't know if it's something that would be used by many as a nickname, as names do tend to be shortened. I could see it becoming just ''Gabbie' etc as a nn, unless emphasized to be called Gabbie Grace. It doesn't sound bad at all,though. You could maybe go for ABigail Grace , as in Abbie Grace if you like the sound.
@zoers I actually came across an Aloysius in my newspaper one. I think he went by a nn like LOki or something Fab article as always , Laura bY the way, I am the same LArksong .... But I had Pc problems and messes ip passwords so it wa easier to just make a new account lol..... I just changed the username spelling a bit so everyone who's know who I was By the way, I was SO excited when I came across a BLair in my newspaper he other day .... As most of you know, it's been a long time Favourite
Quick vote please ..... Which is a better pairing: Phoebe Aurora ( aw roo ruh) Or Phoebe Astoria ( uh store ee uh .... Which is how 9 have been saying it lol ) Thanks!
