It's quite a nice shade of red. Cloud was after color names, it's the sort of color that remindsme of the area she lives in.....


(see, I wan't being silly....)

Gecko?

oh! uh, um, just to be clear about it i was not thinking about that aspect when i made my last suggestion

PC alert!

I decided I don't like the name Orion much, because it's too much like "Ryan" -- a too-common name.

well.... you wanted unusual and they're really cool creatures and you didn't sem averse to nature names....

:lol:

(speaking of red.... no image of the day of the tomato-squishing fest this year? I thought that was a UT tradition?)

But, but . . . it's a reptile! Nature, fine: trees, stars, flowers. No crawly things, though.

oh ok. *bottom lip trembles and sticks out a little*

but Tarantula would be a seriously AWESOME name, you have to admit.

only if it was pronounced tar -an-toola (with a hard t) like the dance!

Well seein as how I forgot about the 2nd child havin' not yet been determined, I will revise for them.
Names for the possible girl from the list I liked:

Aislinn - how is the pronounced? ahs-linn or ase-linn? I like the "ahs-linn" pronunciation. Suggest alt-spelling: Aislynn
Canyon - I like for a girl also
Crimson - Although I'm tempted to say this might be good for a girl, then I thought about when they get their cycles and what a bad name that would be...so no.
Delyth - def like for a girl
Echo - girl name - only echo i ever new was a scrawny slut
Iona - maybe, but sounds kinda old-lady to me
Mab/Maeve - Its old-lady
Cerulean - i like it
Eris - i like this one
Rio would be Ria for a girl, unless your usin' a different language than I am. It might be good for a girl, not as much of a chance of...troubles.
Tirso (family name) - that one is interesting, would it work for a girl?
Zuma - I love this name for a girl, and all the more so since i looked it up and it means "peace"

I would also like to submit Autumn for consideration. I don't know about "popular," "alternative" or all that. I simply think its a great name and season, and if the girl happens to be born at the right time...well its there.
Old-lady names I do like: Theola, Esther, Beulah. All grandma's of mine :).


I want to make these changes to my opinion of the boy names:

Auryn - no really, i want to know how to say this is. The spelling is interestin. The meaning is apparently "golden one" but i didn't find a pronounce. My guess would be like "Aaron" but more "Aar-en" or "Aar-in" perhaps "Air-yen". I don't know.
Xanthe - since i've been correct on how this is said, I now like it
Thea - although i've been corrected on how this is said, I still don't like it.
Dresdan - I've decided this name is more awesome, than just OK.

Xanthe and Thea are girls' names ;)

I think "or-in" for Auryn. I think there could be some good names in there; just trying to shake loose a shortlist.

BD#2 told me today: "Oh, but we're all going to change our last name anyway. Just as soon as we can think of something cool enough."

Oy.

yeah we wanted to change ours but we couldn't decide so we opted for his.

Fuckin fuckity fuck, i just don't care anymore.

Cloud, how about Theodore? That name always makes me think a person is great. Unless they go by Ted.

Everyone's comments are sincerely appreciated! Thanks.
