Sounds like a raw deal to me. "Tim" isn't a bad nickname. What is there for Tallulah?


Lulu. Tallie. Tulah. Ta. Tallu.

I don't know and I don't care. The fate of the world depends on this.

Well, considering how my daughter will be graceful and majestic, I was thinking of a name like Grace, or Majesty...or Debbie.

In all seriousness, For a boy I was thinking about Jack, Edward, or John. And for a girl Erin, Allison, or Caroline.

If i ever make the mistake of having kids the boy names which are in play are Vuk, Vukasin, Stefan and Vid(or even Iskren if i feel like going tribal with my names). As far as girl names go Anastasia and Ana seem nice, as well as Katarina.

For a boy, Alexander, for a girl, Alexandra.

Granted this is assuming my future partner would be okay with those, which I would hope she would be.

I doubt I'll be entering a relationship. Even if I do, I certainly won't be having any children.

"WHO LIKES WAFFLES?"
"I do!"
"I do!"
"Yeah? What?"

Jonathan's always been an appealing name for me. I have a friend whose name is Jonathan. I know John/Jon is one of the most common names ever, but I really like it. Or I could do Constantine. Constantine would be nice. But there'd by no shorter form. Nicholas= Nick, Joseph= Joe, Constantine= Stan? I know a guy named Constantine who goes by Gus. Maybe that'd work. Or Stan. Actually, Stan would work.

Maybe I could name him Ike.
He'd be like: "Dad, how was I named?"
And I'd say: "Ikanistan didn't work."

Yeah, so?

I'd rather like those beautiful names instead of some ugly American words like Hope or Serenity... Seriously, which parent ever thought it's going to be practical for his/her daughter/son to be named after a word?

Because it's plain dumb naming all of them after the royal house.
