I remember laughing with Max once when I said I liked Rebekah - and spelt that way, the Hebrew way. But I said to him `I like it spelt the Hebrew way' and he said, `How's that? With an X??'. And that's how it seems - so many names I see these days have the spelling altered to make it look fancy or different (I guess) and it just looks stupid to me.

But that's just me, I guess!
I was actually about to suggest Rebekah (spelled that way), as that's one of my guardian angel's names (yes, I have them, yes I know they exist, and I know their names... call me crazy... but they've gotten me through a lot!). The other is Cassandra.

My best friend's kids are Adrianne, Malissa, and Jamal (he's the youngest at a year, while the other two are teens). I have no children, nor much desire to have any... but i love the names! Being a writer, I have to come up with names for my characters...

Some of them are:
Daniera James
Toryn
Rima
Liane
Kris (girl)

and those are just some of the humans... I have more characters from other stories, but they don't seem to be on this computer... ggrrrrrr...

Two of my favorite non-human names from my most recent story are Mair and Yela... but those may be a little out there... I write fantasy and sci-fi...

This sweet little 10 month old baby was just in my office, and her name was Roxanna...nickname Roxy. It was SO CUTE!

Around the bend!
If we were to have a girl we chose Catherine Elizabeth. But, since we're having a boy, his name is going to be Devin Michael.

I've always liked the non-traditional names. Not the same ol' name with a new spelling...seriously something different, but still pretty.

Long ago I had decided that if I had a girl, her name would be Raynelle (by best friend's middle name, but I loved how it sounds). I also really like Sebastianne or Elektra (although Carmen Electra kinda ruined that one!).

You think?? Wow! We were so the other way around - we had a good ten, solid boy's names and they were so easy. We are struggling with girl's names. Jessica is in our top five, though.

Max thinks he's got everything all sorted but I don't necessarily agree with his choices so we're kind of at an impasse!

I love the names Olivia, Isabella, and Sophia. When we have a baby, and it's a girl, that's what the first name is going to be, one of those. And the middle name will be Madyson, or Madison, however we spell it.

Max suggested Madison but in Australia every second little girl and her cat is called Madison so I wanted to steer clear of that!

My BFF's eldest girl is Grace (middle name Elleigh) and her second one is Jayne Olivia. They're nice names. My BFF's middle name is Jayne so that's a nice family connection, too. They are such cute girls - this was a few years ago, they're 6 and 5 now.
