What are your favorite names?

I'm thinking in regards to children, what names have you thought of?

For a daughter, I really like Amelia, Victoria, Anastasia, or Alexandra. For a son, I really like Jude or Viktor.

Yes I realize two of the names are from Underworld

Edit- It doesn't have to be your favorite names for children. It can be for things such as cats. 

That's a good question And it's not one I've ever really thought of, really. Steve has three kids already, so we haven't really had many discussions about children, though the ones he has have very traditional British names. And his last name is Parrington, so the names would have to go well with that

I collect names for future cats, not children. I like Alice, Beatrice and Araminta.

I agree.  Having completed our family as far as children goes, we look to a future of guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, fish and MORE CATS.

But for some odd reason, a small dog called Jonty keeps figuring in there, although I am most decidely not a dog person.

As well as a cat called Topher and a female cat called Thomasin.

One of my very favorite names is Katherine/Katharine/Kathryn, and I always thought I'd name a daughter that.  However DH has a aunt and a sister both named Kathryn, so I'm rethinking it.

Boys names are hard for me to think up, but DH likes traditional names like Henry and William.

We named our cat Milo- I love it, kind of wish we had saved it for a kid now!

Oh I like William and Milo. I'd like those as middle names too- Jude William, or Viktor Milo, or Milo Viktor. Though I like Jude Lauren too, with Lauren being named after my grandfather.

My parents gave me a long, preposterous cornpone name. Some days, that was fun. Some days, I wanted to hunt them down like dogs and stuff my birth certificate up their noses. Just bear that in mind when you go to name children. If you choose a name in your family, you at least have an excuse to offer them when you see them coming at you with that wadded up birth certificate.

I had an ancestor named Sterling. I always thought that was cool. And Hastings is a common name in my family, which is odd. Makes me wonder if we were from Hastings originally.

I love the name Jude - I had a cat named Judas and I always called him Jude. 
If we had a girl, she might be Grace (after DH's grandmother), Imogen, or Sofia, or a combination of those names. Maybe Imogen Grace?
If we had a boy, DH likes Tristen, and I like Luke (or Lucas, or Luca, even) and for some strange reason, I've always liked the name Kevin, though everyone else thinks it's boring.
For a cat, I think I would go with Molly. 

One of the issues here will be that names have different perceptions in the UK and the US.  For example, Kevin is seen as possibly a little chavvy in the UK, or at least a geek name (and not in a good way, like naming your children after characters in Doctor Who!).

Vicky

mm...my DH (even though he likes William) does not like Liam because he thinks "it's a chav name." Whereas when I think of the name, I think of Liam Neeson, not chavs!

I like the names
Gabriella Josephine (Ella for short)
Isabella Rose (Bella for short)
Declan

I like Luke (or Lucas, or Luca, even)

I used to see this guy called Lucas one summer who was soooooo fine!  Now I can't ever think of that name without seeing him in my mind.

And that's a good thing.

Aaaah, I see. I think of Kevin like a regular boy's name, like in the Wonder Years. And I've actually never known anyone named Kevin (well, until I met DH's best friend named Kevin) so it doesn't remind me of anyone. DH wanted to name a girl Dakota and I told him it sounded like a stripper name... which really confused him. But yeah, there are different conotations on different continents. I do actually like the name Dakota, but yeah, it does still sound like a "stage name," IMO.

I used to work with a hot bartender named Luke. MMMMM-HMMMM!!!!    But I've just always like that name for some reason.

I also like the name Hayden. But maybe not so much now because of Hayden Christensen, who truly is a crap actor.

LOL.

I used to go to the gym with this gal who had a daughter named, I kid you not!, Dazzle Star.

LMAO!!!    I met a guy once called Azure Sky. His parents were obviously hippies.
