Baby Names
"If you're going to be two-faced, at least make one of them pretty." - Marilyn Monroe
Since the board is slow, which of these names would you say is best?
We're not TTC for another year, but we talk about names a lot since I've been into names since I was a little girl, and I find them interesting to chat about. However, my fiance and I differ on our taste. He agrees the name should be on the classic side, not youneek, but his favorite name at the moment is Bernard. I just can't stomach it no matter how hard I try. I can't picture a little guy named Bernard. He also thinks Bernadette is good for a girl, although I can't gauge if he's joking or not. What do you think?
Here are the names I'd consider that we *somewhat* agree on:
BOYS:
Leon
Noah
Everett
Spencer
Nolan
GIRLS:
Alexandra
Flora
Paige
Lucille

Re: Since the board is slow, which of these names would you say is best?
My BFF's SIL named her son Bernard. They call him Bernie.
From your list, I like Boys names in this order: Nolan, Noah, Everett, Spencer, Leon. And Girls names in this order: Paige, Lucille, Alexandra, Flora.
Bernard and Bernadette are no where near my style.
I like Paige and Noah the best.
BOYS:
Leon
Noah
Everett
Spencer
Nolan
GIRLS:
Alexandra
Love this name!
Flora
Paige
Lucille
Leon: ok, I like Leo better, rank: 4
Noah: perfectly nice, but popular rank: 2
Everett: love it! rank: 1
Spencer: nice, rank: 3
Nolan: I just don't like the sound, rank:5
Alexandra: fine, but nothing special, rank: 3
Flora: LOVE! So pretty - this was my siggy name in Jan., rank: 1
Paige: boring, rank: 4
Lucille: nice, love nn Lucy, rank: 2
Baby Name Popularity by State
I LOVE Spencer....It's on my list and if we can't decided on a FN we will most likely use it as a FN instead of a MN like I planned to (It's a tribute to my family
)
And Paige is my favorite out of the girls names
Boy- Spencer
Girl- Paige
Bernadette is not my taste... nn would not be cute. I just keep thinking Berni.
Of the boy names, I love Everett. It sounds very handsome and sophisticated without being stuffy. Noah and Nolan have gotten pretty popular/trendy. Leon is nice, but NMS, and with Liam on the rise, some people might mistakenly hear that. I've neer cared for the name Spencer.
Of the girl choices, I like Alaexandra and Lucille. Paige is nce, but NMS.
Flora is the naturally-occurring bacteria on our bodies. Pretty sound, and Flora is actually harmless stuff, but I still wouldn't want my kid associated with bacteria!
I love Everett, Nolan and Flora!
I don't like saying that a name is inherently better than an other one, but I definitely like these three best.
I really like Bertram... it's similar to Bernard, but you can get the nickname Bram out of it, which makes it a little easier to use, I think.
Thanks for telling me that about Flora. That really changes my opinion on the name!!
