Very cool name. My favorite girls names: Wendelyn <grin> Rachel Lynn Cassidy Claire Victoria Sydney Boys names: Hunter Jeff Quinn I can't think of any other boy names. Mainly because if we had a boy, it would have been named after my dh. Richard George Henry III

Not the Allix, but just Alex. I am adamant that the childs' name have a million letters to it, I don't know why. I was always jealous of people with super long names, that's probably why. Does anyone else besides me hate their OWN name?? While it fits me, I just think it's unattractive.

Originally Posted By momof4boys I like the name Liam for William- we considered that but our William is such a William. I have a friend who said she was going to name her son William and call him Liam. Another friend said, " Liam? Liam? She's actually going to call him Liam?" For a while, we couldn't figure out why this friend was so upset about the name. You see, here in Oklahoma, many people have quite an accent and she thought the mom was going to call him "Limb". She ended up naming him Landon.

Everytime I find a name I like, I'll say something like, "honey, what do you think of the name Anthony?" and he'll say "Anthony what?" he's done it to me 4 or 5 times and its rather annoying!
