It's an either/or situation. Alternatively, twin boy and girl, both named Vivian.

My kids are called Abbie, Ethan and Oscar.
Their mother has OCD and is obsessed with five letter names that begin with a vowel.
Twins run in my new wifes family so hopefully I can have twin boys called Edgar and Allen.

>>319219
Shit, just realised that they too are five letter names that begin with a vowel..

Wife's agreed to call our daughter (due in about 6 weeks?) the name of my choice. Sick but it's going to be my ex who died in a car accident.

>>319279
My cousin's name is Kevin Michael Quinn and his sister is Siobhan Catherine. Guess our collective nationality.

I always over think the names of my fictional children.

I'll probably just let my wife pick there names, unless I really hate her ideas.

Max Jr

Geralt Ravenclaw.

It's a good name.

celia for a girl, michael for a boy

I really like goofy British-sounding names that can't be easily shortened into nicknames.

For girls: Ramona, Emma, Olivia, Sophia, Abbie
For boys: Oliver, Henry, Ethan

>>319356
It is.
Theres a kid in my oldest sons class called Broadsword Wolf.
He better be a stuntman when he grows up.

I've thought about this a lot.
Girl: Aubrey
Boy: Alistair,Basil, Dorian

>>319379
Protip: if it's longer than 4 letters it can be shortened. Even some less than 4 can be shortened.

i.e. Em, Oli (for Olivia and Oliver), Sof, Ab.

"Lubomir". ("Peace-lover").

It's a Polish male name, the only one I'd consider for a kid actually.

It's Polish/Slavic in origin (that's important), it has clearly visible morphemes, it arguably doesn't make any assumptions as of the future character of its bearer, it isn't ridiculously rare, it's short and sounds nice.

The downside: it doesn't seem to have nice diminutives.

In English, I like the "Puritan virtue names", or how do you call them.

Marlowe for girl, Charlie for boy.

>>319379
dude, i beg of you, don't name your daughter sophie, or anything that's incredibly popular when the kid's born

when i was born it was the number one girl's name in my country, or near that, and every class i was ever in there was another sophie. it's been a life of non-hilarious mixups, fuck my parents for thinking it was 'exotic and foreign'.

You can tell who wants a boy or a girl more based upon which names they put first.

>>319428
But kids with "unique" names have been shown to do worse in school and be more anti-social.

>>319413
>no diminutive

your kid is gonna be called 'lube' by all the other kids, i'm sorry

>>319416
I've just written Marlowe down. Love that name.

>>319428

I (unintentionally) listed the names in order of preference, so Sophia is a name I think is nice but chances are I probably won't get to it. I like the names Ramona, Olivia, and Emma much more.

Dominic if male, Catherine if female.

If I have a son I'll name him after my father, Igor. Would've said Konstantin after my dead best friend, but I already named my dog Kostya.

For daughter, I will call her after someone I knew, Yelena. Girl names are more hard. Obviously this is not including input from woman.

For the names that other people mention, are these at all common in the West? They sound a bit strange to me.

>>319431
>those are the actual names of my kids

>>319456
Or Lubo or anything else stupid. It's a bad choice in English, where shit like what a name means doesn't count.

>>319449
then bring them up to be smart and have plenty human interaction

the name won't make their character, but an incredibly common one will piss them off for years

>>319310
Irish.

>>319379
>Oliver
>Olly

>boy (hopefully I get boys)
First born is being named Leonard. I love the sound of the name, and it can be shortened to Leo or Leon, which sound cool. Or Lenny, for affectionate name time.
After Leonard, other names I would pick are Max and Damien. These names are all boys I've known and loved.
>girl (maybe I'd grow to love a girl?)
Amy I quite like, and Mia too. Haven't thought of any beyond that. There's a hell of a lot of girls' names that I think sound appalling.

>>319413
Like 'Peace' and 'Hope' and 'Joy'? If so we call them black names.

>>319473
Not most of them, but they're getting more popular.

From some website:
1 Mason Emma
2 Liam Olivia
3 Jacob Sophia
4 Ethan Isabella
5 Noah Ava
6 Aiden Madison
7 Jackson Ella
8 Logan Abigail
9 Jack Emily
10 Ryan Lily

Carto Elias. After my Great Great Great Grandfather

>>319491

As far as nicknames go, Olly is pretty inoffensive. I just really hate shit like Bob and Rob and Kathy and such (Kat is fine, but it seems excessively cruel to name a kid Kat and not Katherine to avoid the Kathy nickname).

>>319506
Mason?! Fucking Mason?! Mason is a God damned surname! Nobody is called Mason!

...at least not here in England.

freya, kitti, lena

hauke, jonas, peer

>>319486
It's a statistical thing, but you should bring your kids up right anyway.

I know about 15 Michaels and none of them hae every complained.

Boy- Michael
Girl - Rebbeca

>>319491
>Naming your children after ex partners.
This is the second time I have seen this in this thread and it is still a dick move.

>>319546
I forever cannot name my daughters Anastacia and Rachael. It's fucking stupid to do so.

Boys names:
Angus, Niall, Michael, Ruaridh, Thomas.

Girls names:
Alice, Jennifer, Morag, Naomi, Skye.
I'd also probably give a girl my mother's name (Wynn) as a middle name.

Of course, name choice would depend on the kid's surname, and also I'd consult with the other parent about it too.

>>319546
>ex-partners
lolno.

I couldn't name a child after anyone I know well. I'm a little worried that the Amy I'm starting to get to know now will become a good friend, halving my list of potential girls' names.

No, when I said "boys I knew and loved" I was being essentially flippant. They were kids I knew during my brief stint as a teacher.

>>319563
If you happen to have an ex with a name you would have chosen anyway if could be passable but naming a child because of an ex is a dick move.

girl: Molly Awesome. molly is a fuckin great name.

boy: Atticus Doom. To Kill A Mockingbird was one of my favorite books, and Doom is actually the nickname of one of my friends--the one that hooked me up with my spouse.

i know the middle names are ridiculous, but, they're MIDDLE names. if the kids don't like them, they don't have to use them. but if they want the option (or need the reminder that their parents love the shit out of them), well, it's in their fucking names.

male: Victor

female: Lina, Victoria, Magdalena, Lena

I need more male names but most names I like aren't free. And I don't want to name my children after a relative/close friend/myself.

>boys I knew and loved
> They were kids I knew during my brief stint as a teacher
You need to stop telling people about yourself.

>>319578
>morag

fuck yes best name

>>319578
>Ruaridh

I have never seen Ruairi (supposed to be an i-fada at the end, but the robot doesn't allow it aparently..._ spelled that way. Is it the Scots version or basterdised English version?

I'm surprised by how few people have said "I'll discuss it with my partner" or something like that. I would have thought most people would have said that.

That said, I AM naming my first son Leonard, and will keep searching till I find a woman who lets me. After that, so long as we both agree, that's fine. I'm not having any of my children have a stupid fancy unusual name like I had to suffer, or an ugly name like "Margaret" (no offence to any Margarets in tonight).

>>319624
Lighten up, man, it was a joke. I'm not a paedophile, I just happen to enjoy the company of children.

Boy: Nicolas Calum, Victor, or Vincent
Girl: Vivienne or Jasmine

>>319578
brofist for Scotland, pal.

>>319648
Well I am naming my sons and as for girls, i couldn't care less so she can name it anything not retarded.

Male: Leonardo, Michael-Angelo, Raphael
Female: Abortion

>>319648
> I just happen to enjoy the company of children
Honestly, stop telling us stuff please.

I would name my kid Opie. Then when he gets picked on in school due to my shitty upbringing of him, the school bullies would say "Opie is a fag!!!"

>>319646
So the robot is racist?

Mille or Milla.

I like Azreal for a boy.
For a girl, Alejandra and Isabella.

>>319689
No love for Donatello?

>>319692
You mean /r9k/ isn't my personal counsellor? You coulda fooled me.

>>319664
>Be scottish
>wouldn't give my kid any of these grandad names.

I'd call my kid Dorian Marx Pynchon.

Advice to everyone: Long names are a pain in the ass and your kid will find a way to shorten it. Keep that in mind.

>>319705
Just doesn't like non-ASCII text.

>>319726
>Dorian not a grandad name.
Ok.

>>319743
That is a great way to ensure original content, by limiting it.

Male: Ronniecoleman
Female: Oprahwinfrey
real names:
male>The Situation
female>Betaman
Fuck you. I like those names!

boy: karl, leon, mikhail, che

girl: andrea

Girl - Maria or Sierra
Boy - Derek or Jacob

Speaking as a man with a very unusual first name and surname, I can tell you all that if you give your child a name that is not quite popular, or isn't short or easy to shorten, you will make their lives a misery at school. Miserable school life leads to teenage criminality.

Even if your nationality is not English-speaking, do your child a favour and give them a locally common name. They won't thank you for it, but they won't curse you for it like they would if you called them fucking "Dorian" or "Azrael".

>>319764
I think ti's to prevent stupid shit like that disappointed-face thing /b/ had for a while.

violet and edward, always liked those two names. hubby completly disagrees, he wants like giselle and etiole or something.

>>319788

>Dorian

What about Darien? I've always liked that name for a boy...

>>319805
It's kind of a bully's name.

Boys: Xerxes (at least for a middle name, I'm serious ly considering that for myself, need more X's in my name, only have one at the moment), Charles

Female: Zooey,

>>319819

Okay, that's news to me. Since when?

>>319791
Jesus Christ, don't let him. Nothing marks a kid out as a target faster than a strange name, except perhaps disability or excess fat.

>>319805
If it's locally popular, go for it. I agree, it sounds nice.

>>319791
Kill your husband.
Son:Gerard (DEALW/IT)
Daughter: Juliet

>>319831
I faintly recall some 90's movie where the bully was a Darien.

Eleanor

>>319860
Pronounced the American way or the right way?

>>319862

Not that guy, but just one movie doesn't really make the basis of a bully name.

I really like the name Luke.

>>319822
thats fucking retarded and your kids will be bullied for the majority of their lives because of their gay names

William, Carson, or Euan, If its a girl then I really don't give a shit.

>>319872
There are other ways to pronounce those names?
British pronunciation, none of that United States' bull shit.

>>319192

Ha. Nice.

Anyway, I guess I don't really know what I'd name my kids. I've always thought Linnea was great girl's name, and I like Leonard or Rory for a boy.

Boys
>James
>Irving

Girls
>Agatha
>Victoria

>>319891
Yes. Look for an american show that had Gerard Butler on it and listen to them butcher his name.

Velocity
Thadius

If I had a son, he'd be Andrew, after my brother.
If I had a daughter, her dad could name her, because I'm not that interested in most girl names.

Girl: Zona
Boy: Quinn

>>319907
Agatha? Please rethink that. What an ugly, embarrassing name.

>>319720
Not really. Its a decent name, but 4 sons would be a fuck ton to deal with by myself. I plan on getting the moms out of the picture, as to raise them to be the epitome of man.

Hours spent in the gym, lessons on female manipulation, and being classy motherfuckers. They'll be just like me *tear*. I can't wait to buy them their first suit.. I hope they like John Varvatos.

A female will just get in the way of them reaching their full-potential.

>>319870
Ooh, I'd forgotten about Eleanor! That's a really nice name, and you can shorten it to Ella, which is quite nice.

>>319822
>Xerxes
>Charles
One is sensible and will both prevent your child being bullied because they have a gay name and allow them to start a business etc without looking a joke. The other is fucking "Xerxes".

>>319921
It's JEH- (like in "bed") -rard (to rhyme with "yard") isn't it? Unless you're going for the French pronunciation.

>>319955

We both got doubles.
I meant exactly the way google translate pronounces it.

Dorothy, Margaret, Barbara, Ethel

>>320034
That video pronounces it juhRARD...

>>320041
My brother's name is Ronan! It's Irish for "little seal", which is cute, but it's just about obscure enough for people to make fun of it.

On the plus side, Ro makes for an awesome contraction. You can even write it as a Greek letter.

>>320056
>>320067
Single mothers can be just as bad. But women are, generally, better than children. It's an evolutionary thing. That wasn't my point, though. My point is that three children is too much for one person to handle, whatever their sex.

jeez, now i want to ask my partner what he might want (my choices >>319369 ) but i'm guessing seven months into a relationship is too early to bring up that kind of thing

Eva or Alice for a girl
I just fucking love those names. I really hope I don't meet a bitch named either one of them in the future or else it may ruin the name for me.

>>320068
listening to it again and again and it sounds more like she's saying GER- ARD than GE- RARD
This shit's fucking with my ears, yo.

>I am not getting the butchering.
She just split the syllables?
Then you don't understand how speaking works. Spiting the syllables makes the name sound different to how it should, of to be more precise, wrong.

megaman and sexlord

Here is how it should be said and how americans get it wrong from the man himself.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQkmYbTZEHM

> But women are, generally, better than children
Yes women are better than children for raising children but if you think women are better than men at raising children you are a moron.
> My point is that three children is too much for one person to handle, whatever their sex.
Bullshit.

male:Demetri,Anthony,Ezra
female:Lykke,Genevieve

Gerald is better than Gerard, anyway (in my opinion).

>>320142
Urrrgh, obviously I meant men there.

Just out of interest, how many siblings do you have, and how many parents did you have? If anyone in this thread had more than one sibling and was raised by a single parent easily, please let me know.

I have two siblings and we were raised just by our mother. She found it immensely difficult to cope with three of us and working, especially because I'm very close in age to my brother so she had to have loads of time off and in fact ended up losing her job then, and when she had my sister a few years later we were then different enough in ages that it was awkward trying to find things appropriate for us all for years.

All of my friends that were raised by single parents also experienced this.

>>320041
here
>>320081
Well that's funny because I have an Irish passport and only picked the name Ronan because of Irish Rugby's flyhalf, Ronan O'Gara who I'm a big fan of hahaha.

Good to know the meaning though!

>>320081
I don't think you've read all the statistics that prove men are, generally, better parents than females.

Plus, if I can afford John Varvatos (Im guessing you have no idea who that is), I can afford 3 sons. Deal with it, bro.

Girl:Penny,Destiny,Anya
Guy:Skylar,Cloud,Sheppard

>>320181
Well I have twin sons and look after them by myself regularly, their mother is much less capable than me. So you are also obviously of the opinion any family with 5 children should have the adults sterilized because a 6th child, or 3 each adult, would be impossible to handle.
>All of my friends that were raised by single parents also experienced this.
Let me guess they were all single MOTHERS, right?

Anna, Alice, Mary

Nick, David, Charlie

everest, atlas, Indiana, yellow ,or paul.

>>320181
Yeah, the guy you were replying to, originally. The one who knows he can raise 3 sons by himself. Me.

My dad had no trouble. He's a pro. Raised me, my bro, and my 2 sisters just fine. Although, my sisters are totally terrified of trusting a man because of me, my bro, and the way dad taught us, but they turned out alright overall, Id say.

>my sisters are totally terrified of trusting a man
So they are not full retard. Sounds like they turned out well to me.

Just nothing ridiculous.

Seriously, fuck you if you name your kids some made up ridiculous bullshit.

>>320256

>terrified

No offense, but that's kind of a big problem. They should be wary, yes, but they shouldn't be terrified of trusting someone else.

Guy-who-thought-Varvatos-bloke-couldn't-handle-3-sons here.

Welp, I guess I was wrong. You're right, actually, it was all single mothers struggling. The only reason I said what I did is that I never got enough attention as a child, so I'm extra worried that I would inflict that on my children. But, if you think you can handle it, and you can, that's great!

Either Syd (after Syd Barrett from Pink Floyd) or Alaric (my name, though I'm not sure I have the heart to put him through all the times people fuck up pronouncing his name) for a guy. For a girl, I really would like the name Skye or Kali.
