What will you name your children?

[azn099]

So when you have kids what will you name them?
For those that already have kids, what are their names?

Boy
Jason - I've always liked this name.
Weixing - Sounds cool even if the English translation sounds odd lol.

Girl
Sun - I like it because you know it's Sun!
Andrea - It sounds so cool.

azn099, which 'wei' and which 'xing'? 'Jason' and 'Andrea' are cool names, though.

Me? I don't have any kids, and I'm not married - chances are my at-this-point-hypothetical wife will end up hating my name choices, though.

Boy
Siegfried - I like the meaning, 'victorious peace'. Also, nickname would be 'Fred' or 'Freddie'; probably not 'Siggy'.
Holden - My grandfather's name. Means 'deep valley'.

Girl
Anne or Hannah 'grace' - One of my best friends from my Madison days was named Hannah.
Elizabeth or some variant thereof - I'm a big fan of Queen Elizabeth I.

My choices seem to be kind of Northern European-ish...

If I ever have children, I won't name them, I will number them in the order that they *plopped* out.

That was a popular scheme among Italians in the old days. My grandfather's name was Settimio ("seventh"). Once in a while I still encounter guys named Primo, or Secondo.

This is something that regularly changes for me!! My cousin is pregnant and it's so exciting considering we're like sisters since she has no siblings so she was always with me!! For her we were thinking either Ronan or Eve (I wanted to nickname her Evee) but it looks like she's going to have a boyso Ronan it is or perhap something else if he doesn't look like a Ronan!!

For me:

Girls: (I love names that begins with an 'A' for girls)
Arianna - I've always loved this name and people keep telling me it doesn't exist, well I met an Arianna over the summer!!
Abigail - Another 'A' which I love, its so nice but my friend called her little one Abi so I might change that...

Boys:
Matthew - Nicknamed Mattie, but after my younger brother really, Gift of God!!
Rocco - No idea what it means but I saw it in a book once and loved it!!

Is it strange that this is something I have never really considered?

I can't exactly adopt the same principle I have used to name pets. I've had cats named 'Tabby', 'Popsicle', 'Blackie', 'Stinky' and 'Dusty'. This doesn't necessarily bode well for any future children I might have. I guess any potential partner will be pleased to discover that I haven't come up with my own names for the children they named long before I met them...

A similar practice was also common during our beloved Three Kingdoms era.

You should name your male children 'Adrian'. Seriously, it derives from the Latin for 'dark' so they can pretend it has a cool, ancient meaning. And several Popes and an Emperor of Rome (Hadrian - it's like Christy with a 'ch' vs. Kristy w/a 'K') were named Adrian. Keep Greco-Roman names alive!

Seriously though, I'm not particularly interested in fathering any children right now, and that's probably good since my habit in naming characters in Guild Wars right now is running to characters from Dostoeyevsky novels. Alexei Fyodorovich Loder probably isn't the best name around...

Ulterior motives! You fiend!

It's a great name! Preserve continuity from the classical era!
