OT: Name ideasFollow

Anyone want a fun project?

I'm trying to come up with ideas for a name for the little bundle of joy we have on the way. I've been to about every baby-name website in the last couple of weeks, and am about burnt out on it. We found our guildies to be an awesome source of ideas, as they tend to come up with things we never thought of; so I'm here continuing this trend. Here's what were looking for:

1) A girl's name

2) Must have a double-vowel; wife is very firm on this (ae, ai, etc)

3) I'm mostly Scottish/German, she's Chinese/Japanese, but we're not limiting ourselves to those necessarily

4) No, I'm not using "Aethien"

If this is too OT; just pretend I'm coming up with a character name, or derail it into druid nerfs or something.

There's Ariana and Ariadne

Elaine

Ettienne

Lydia

Arianrhod, but you might want to read Bimbos of the Death Sun to get an idea what it might be associated with

Dianna

that's my 5 minutes of thinking :P

Duh, Saria.

Because Ocarania of Time was an amazing game.

[EDIT]

Or Jaina, to keep things slightly less OOT. Or, Aegwynn. Alleria, areesa... Man, a LOT of the female names in WoW have double vowels.

More OOT: Lydia?

I thought the same thing a while back. I didn't want to comment lest it get jinxed

As for names... hmmm...
Aean
Aimee
Ainethil
Aerith
Iorioa (toughest name ever to shout during an argument, I'd wager)
Serendia
Dentaria
Aria


How's that for a list so far?

You admin people and your secrets...

I think Aerith came up at some point recently, since I'm playing through FFVII right now...

Well then obviously this conversation is over.

Grats on the incoming daughter, though. :)


Edit: Also Teacake is a girl's name with a double vowel. Just saying.

^ This. I have a friend who has so many A's in her full name, it sounds like you're about to sneeze when you say it. Another friend's name is Fawn Miriam. The Fawn part is the result of hippie parents who lived half their lives in a commune, the Miriam part is a much-disliked aunt. She's also in law school and really doesn't want to use either name. Her parents would be devastated if they knew she was thinking of legally changing it.

Lorelai? I like that name.

Friends of mine went with Scotia Rose for their daughter last year, kind of ties with the Scottish bit in origin.

Finding out my newest nieces name over dinner tonight, so interested.

Maia
Lillian
Laura
Meilin
Jia
Yuwei

I don't have kids yet, but my wife had somehow figured out what we would "agree" our kids names would be before we'd even met.

Zoe/Zoey/Zoya
Mackenzie

Ages ago, I created a NE Priest named Zalia. After a couple of months, I decided to come up with a better name, using online Elven dictionaries (Tolkien and others). Turns out, Za- and -lia means 'royal' and 'mistress' in Tolkien Elvish.



I ain't kidding.

Seeing as I'm a Canuck, actually from the maritimes... Scotia bank isn't the first thing that comes to mind. The province of Nova Scotia comes first.

Be that as it may, I dunno I think it's better than the moonbeam etc but it's one of those that has potential for disaster the way kids are :P
