Well, I've always found the name Anya appealing. It's so catchy. And it sounds wonderfully Slavic.
Girl: Jonathan or Michael
Realistically for a Girl: Emily or Samantha

I know a Polish woman named Ania. It's actually a familiar, nickname form of Anna. Like Annie.Simon H.Johansen wrote:Well, I've always found the name Anya appealing. It's so catchy. And it sounds wonderfully Slavic.

I'm going the George Foreman route and naming all my kids after me. Except for the girls, I'll name them anything as long as it isn't the same name as one of my favorite pornogaphic film stars.

Because those names are not so really gender-specific. And in Germany, your names have to be either male, or female. It would depend on the registrar, but I guess more often than not, they would not allow it.Alyrium Denryle wrote:Well I would have to alter them for pronunciation, but why couldnt I use them in Deutschland?Dahak wrote:Lucky for you that you live in the US.

Son: Dalamar, or Waylan
Daughter: Laddona or Vivain
As for me: Dachlan, Daffyd for boys, Catherine for a girl...

So I would have to use a definatly masculine, or definatly feminine name? Interesting

There are many court cases, when parents want a name for their children, and the registry office don't.
And of course, you are barred from inflicting humiliating and/or stupid names on your child.

I did once Joke about naming boys after monsters from old Myths: Cerebrus, Grendel, Fenris, etc.
Just on the premis that boys are little monsters, and whose gonna fuck with a kid whose actually named after something that bad and scary.

I've seen 30 Dante's in one week, on certificates from 1990-2003.Durandal wrote:If I have a boy, I'm naming him Dante.
Dante Sorresso
That's a damn cool name. In fact, I might get my name legally changed so I could have it, and the little bugger would be stuck with a "Jr." on his name.
If I have a girl, I was thinking something like Giovanna, my aunt's name.

Nicholas (by various spellings) and Tanya/tonya are common names I've seen on 1980-current certificates.The Yosemite Bear wrote:Boy:
Nick (informal/school), Niccolo (away, when I want him to know I want his attention)
Girl:
Tatayana (sorry incredable sucker from Russian Lit, and Zhivago is a fav.)
However Tanya is acceptable in schools, at least when I was growing up....

Zachery (all versions) is another popular one. So is Daniel. Biblical names in the Bible belt, go figureinnerbrat wrote:Chloe for a girl (or Zoe, but if I have 2, not both!)
Zach or Dainel for a boy.
Chloe/Zoe are common.

Lord, we need that here. Some of these names are pitiful.
Still, the freedom to name your child "Claude Badly" as a friend keeps threatening to do is there.

Dunno what I'd want to name my kids, but I know the only way one of my kids is getting named 'Beth' or 'Bertha' is over my cold, mutilated corpse.
