I don't love Connor or Tiernan anymore and Brendan is silly with my B last name. Emmett I still love because it is my dads middle name, but DH said no. :( I have a DS now and gave him a "Co..." name, just not Connor. For girls I have always loved Claire and always will :heart: Meridian on "What names did you like as a child?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-names-did-you-like-as-a-child/page/2#post-917564 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 20:41:06 +0000 Meridian 917564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I wanted to name my future daughter Meridian (nickname, Meri), or Seraphina (nickname, Sera).

I had posters of Jack Wagner on my wall. When I found out I was having a boy, I told my mom we were going to name him Frisco.

But the middle name Lee is a family name I just had to use and Ashleigh Lee would have never worked lol. littlek on "What names did you like as a child?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-names-did-you-like-as-a-child#post-916396 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 14:59:40 +0000 littlek 916396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I loved the name Brittney. jhd on "What names did you like as a child?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-names-did-you-like-as-a-child#post-916336 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 14:50:58 +0000 jhd 916336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I loved Emma forever, but then it got super popular & SIL used it for her 2nd. Also liked Caleb but that's my sister's stepson's name & also quite popular. I still like both names but can't use them! travellingbee on "What names did you like as a child?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-names-did-you-like-as-a-child#post-916225 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 14:34:54 +0000 travellingbee 916225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Jane and Justin. I had an imaginary friend named Jane. And I named my fake cabage patch kid Justin Thomas and called him JT. Jane I still like, but I knew a crazy girl named that and it kind of tainted it. And Justin I am just eh about. But I still think JT is cute and we considered Thomas for LO. babynumber1 on "What names did you like as a child?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-names-did-you-like-as-a-child#post-916218 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 14:33:43 +0000 babynumber1 916218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ A boy name was def Brandon. For girls it was Stacy (baby sitters club!) and Rose (?), Sarah and Katie. We actually named our LO Katie :wink: JennyLayneAZ on "What names did you like as a child?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-names-did-you-like-as-a-child#post-916166 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 14:24:27 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 916166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ The two that stuck long enough for me to remember are Claudia and Brandon.

Better yet, Rose Laura after Little House On The Prairie. I had different names picked out, but Rose stands out as being a very top favorite for a long time. Now it's a bit plain for me, but I must still like something about it since the name Rosalie is one of our top two contenders for a girl name this time. :) @LizSmith: Lol, fundy background here too, which is why I can't tolerate any boys names with the "iah" sound- Jeremiah, Obediah, Josiah, lol, you get the picture. Most other biblical names are still ok, but rather boring in my book. Oh wait, I have a kid named Gabriel, so, um, yeah.

We have a different name picked out now for a future daughter ;) rachiecakes on "What names did you like as a child?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-names-did-you-like-as-a-child#post-915925 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 13:34:07 +0000 rachiecakes 915925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @grizz: I never knew SVH but Lila was my favorite name, too. And I loved Maia. I always thought I'd have a boy and name him my last name (a common boys name) but DH ditched his last name when we got married and took mine. So that didn't work out, haha @LizSmith: LOVE Apollo! And Atlas.

I also genuinely don't care for it much anymore. My taste in names has gotten much less traditional. When I was in high school I loved Anakin because I'm a Star Wars nut, but then stupid Episode 1 came out so everyone found out that Darth Vader's real name is Anakin. I would still consider it, but DH vetoed it. Thankfully he's nerdy enough that Apollo (Battlestar Galactica) is our current boy name. ^_^ Foodnerd81 on "What names did you like as a child?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-names-did-you-like-as-a-child#post-915854 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 13:21:48 +0000 Foodnerd81 915854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have no idea why-- maybe the 50's song?-- but I was obsessed with the name Sherry. All my favorite dolls were named Sherry. I don't really like it any more and it's definitely not in the running now. Our last name began with W and we all had a complex about being at the end of alphabetical order, so my little sister was obsessed with the name Aaron Amacabees. To the point that I STILL feel like I couldn't use the name Aaron because of her, and this was when she was like, 5. sheskrafty on "What names did you like as a child?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-names-did-you-like-as-a-child#post-915797 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 13:12:01 +0000 sheskrafty 915797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I loved Jacqueline and Victoria.

Ha! I also loved Lila due to Sweet Valley High. We ended up with a cat named Samantha and years later I named my dog Lila because I still loved the name!
