Boys names that I like are Emmett, and Syd and Ralph(but no one else likes that one ;))

Emmett is the name of the first boy I ever liked in Junior High.  I told my sister to become friends with his sister, they are still Best friends to this day!


No my ex-coworkers BF name is Emmett and they are both dimwits, so I'm off the name :-[  Oh well

I liked it from the old story, which I first read when I was about 16. But DH doesn't fancy is, so we're still looking for a good boy's name in case this one is a boy . . .

Lucas Lorenzo....just a thought.... ;)

Lucas

Lucas will be turned into Mucus in the school yard.  Can't go there.

DH will not have anything too English-sounding, either.

If you want to keep with the Gaelic theme, Cailean and Ruairidh are quite nice.  I have a lovely book called Ainmean Chloinne chocked full of Gaelic baby names.

Ooo, that sounds lovely, Cait!  I rather like Coinneach, the Gaelic version of Kenneth. 

Roisin for a girl, though, I think.

DH thinks so.  We are friends with a man who would loved to have called his second daughter that, if he'd gotten one.  But he got nothing but sons after his daughter, so we're using the name instead  ;D.

If it's a girl, that is.

For girls, I've always been quite fond of Gràinne.

And here I was, thinking it had something to do with Ae Fond Kiss  ;D

Very pretty name, though -- I like! 

Whatever happened to Finlay?  Did you go off it?  I think Callum is nice, too, for a boy!

Could never name a boy Ralph after reading "Forever" by Judy Blume.   :-X
Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its doors as early in the spring. Cultivate property like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old; return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts…

I was actually thinking the same thing, but didn't want to say. (In case someone didn't know why) ;)

I haven't read that book but I still wouldn't call anyone Ralph - think of Ralph Malph on Happy Days!

Well, for those who haven't read it.. it's a story of first love.  The boy in the story has a nickname for his penis.. he calls it 'Ralph'.
