Baby Names

A few names you don't hear often anymore..

Belinda

That name stuck out to me from dd's class mates. It's a nice name I think and it's not one I see on little kids anymore(kindergarten class).

Some others that are noteworthy..

Fallon(girl)
Jethro
Annie(full name)

Re: A few names you don't hear often anymore..

  • I really really like Belinda.

    Jethro has to be a family name (not that I would first name is even if it were), I cannot imagine someone with no connection to it using that name. Way too many pop culture associations.

    I think it is princess Caroline.

    Princess Caroline is Albert's sister, Charlene is his wife. She was an Olympic swimmer from South Africa.

  • I have a Fallon! And love and adore her name
  • We have discussed Jethro as a FN. It is biblical and perfectly legit on that basis, although yeah I guess we also like Jethro Tull. I know a couple of women who go by Annie professionally, and I don't know if it's actually their full FN, but that doesn't set off my too-nicknamey-for-a-FN alarm.

    @Saham07 - No I mean Prince Albert's wife: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlene,_Princess_of_Monaco 
    I think she's quite pretty :)

    oh, I didn't know about her........thanks
  • I love the name Jethro, in no small part thanks to NCIS, but I could never use it due to the hillbilly images it seems to draw up.

  • I have an Annie in one of my classes this year. I've never met an Annie that has had it be a nn, it's always been a full name.

    Fallon makes me think of Dynasty. I think that's where the name originated from in the first place.

  • I never hear Christina, David, Alexander or  Christopher anymore.  I feel like those were popular a while ago when I was growing up.

  • Belinda makes me think of a fairy god mother.  ;)

    Jethro makes me think of Jethro Tull (the band).  :)

    Fallon I just don't like... I just think it's NMS.  For some reason I always associate the name with the occupation "farrier", so it always makes me think of horses.

    Annie is cute... maybe a little too cutsie for my taste, but not bad.

    I have an aunt Charlene (who happens to be South African).  She was the fifth of five girls, and my (great?) uncle Charlie decided he was never getting a junior and named his last daughter after himself.  I much prefer the feminised version Charlene rather than calling a girl "Charlie".

  • I'm not crazy about Belinda, but I tend not to like "B" names.
    Jethro is definitely nms.
    I love Annie and would even consider using it myself (family name), but it sounds very similar to my own name.
    Fallon is 100% masculine to me.
    Started adoption process in Jan. 2011.
    3 failed matches in 2012.
    Surprise pregnancy in Aug. 2012.
    Precious baby boy "HC" born May 2013.
    Began researching EA in 2014.
    No longer pursuing EA due to fibroid complications.
    Officially on the adoption home study wait list.
