Favourite Names ^_^

I love names, name nerd here also. They're so important it's insane to think about. What a important task it is to give a child the name they will carry their whole life. My mother chose my birth name and it never suited me. She knew it, and also admitted she chose it at a time when although she liked it, she was angry with her family and rebelling against family naming traditions. So I wound up with a name she later thought I may not have had otherwise, and gave me permission to change when I wanted to adopt a family name that I felt suited me better. I chose my children's names with such care it hurt, they're meanings, initials, all of it. And they're named for special family members and people. Madeleine, Edmond, and Scarlett. IF I'd had another... favorite names that come to mind...

Vivien, Maureen, Irene, Clementine (Clemence), Bronagh, Catherine, Anna, Lola, Pelagia, Esperanza, Clement, Archer, Killian, Declan, Henry, Daniel, William, or Harold.

"I chose my children's names with such care it hurt, they're meanings, initials, all of it." -- Same, here! I think I drive a lot of people nuts from ''over-thinking'' it; but, yes, it's SO important. I've taken steps to change my name, too, but never had full permission to do so; I'm glad to hear you had support Admittedly, "Vivien, Anna, Henry and William" have landed on my list before as well - ''Lola'', too, but as a nickname. :) Thank you for your comment!
