Default Baby names and NO idea

Sofia might work actually. Sarabeth she'd probably end up spelling for
every teacher, just like most of the other names ;-)



Well, even if she had to spell it for teachers, the plus side is that all
she has to say is "How do I spell it? Just like it sounds, Sara - no H and
Beth" Unless Beth is just not a name ever heard in your parts.


Yeah, Beth is definitely not a german name and I think at least the
older people would have problems pronouncing it...

But I tried Sofia today and Sam actually didn't put a veto in, so that
might be an option ;-)

Btw: Where did you get all those names? I don't think my baby name books
have that many S names for girls! (2.5 small Pages for both boys and girls
plus explanation of meaning for every name)



One of the baby name websites. Probably babnamer.com, but could be
babynameworld.com


Oh, cool. Got to go and check it out. My best friend read all the S
names for girls from an old baby names book to me this afternoon, wow
there's some funky old names starting with S, we sure had a good laugh ;-)


I know, but I see myself standing at the playground yelling
"Saraaaaaaaaaaaaaa time to go hooooooooooooooooooome!" and all of a sudden
5 girls come running to me kind of thing ;-)


So when you are hollering at her to come home at dusk, instead of yelling
"Saraaaaaaa!" you yell, "SaraaaaaaKaaaaaatrinnnnnnn" and ONLY she will come
running. Plus, kids know the sound of their moms voices. : )


I know. Right now I'm usually standing there yelling
"Saaaaaaaaaaaaaamueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllll llllll" when we first
moved her I actually wondered how long it would take for a neighbour to
ask me what kind of pet I was calling every night *lol* I felt like way
back when we had a cat, standing there with the carton of dry catfood,
shaking it and yelling "Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeter!" ;-)

That said, Nicole was a popular name when I was born and I still only
ended up with another Nicole in my classes twice in my whole school
"career" (13 years). So, who knows.

Thanks for all the suggestions!



You're welcome. If you hadn't noticed, I love the whole naming game.


Yeah, and that's pretty convenient because I can do with the
encouragement :-)

I totally agree, about having to spell pretty much any name now. Even the
old standards of Ann, could be Anne. My last name is Clark, which I always
have to say, "No e." It's just a fact of life, but mostly it is all those
dang "creative" spellers who are to blame. Oh well.


Landau. I had people write Lindau, but Landauer is definitely most often
used. For a while I always said "Nicole Landau. No ER" and people would
still write Landauer!

actually, I do quite like Sienna Katrin!



Sam and Samira? hmmm. That might not be a smart move.

My question is "Why 'S'?" As someone who grew up in a family of all
'S' names (including the pets), let me tell you, it was *highly*
annoying. I've sworn off giving any names to future children that are
duplicates of any current family members (so for next baby, A, G, J,
and S are completely out). Anyway, I just thought I 'd throw that out
there in case you hadn't thought of it. :-)


I don't really have an answer. I don't know why I want another S-Name.
I just keep getting stuck at the S every time I look for names for nr2.
I wanted a Hanna, but a friend had her baby in January and she's a
Hannah Kathryn, so that's out... And yeah, I just keep getting stuck (in
a good way) at the S every time.

I kept this idea in mind when I named my first cat, and actually had somehow
trained her to come when I rattled my keys, instead of hollering her name.
The other thing I do is instead of calling my cats names, I just call out
"Keeeeeeekideeeeeekideeeeeekideeeee" kind of like Kitty kitty kitty but all
run together.

That said, Nicole was a popular name when I was born and I still only
ended up with another Nicole in my classes twice in my whole school

Well I like the sibling sound of Samuel and Sofia. Sam and Sofia. Works
for me.

I grew up with a sibling who had the same first initial as I did, and it
never bothered me. His name is Jay. Both mom and dad had different first
initials, and pets as well. So it was just a kid thing, and honestly, it
makes me smile and feels like a bonding thing. Jay and Jamie. I actually
have an older sister that I met later on, and her name starts with an L.

My biggest issue is that the names sound good together, for siblings. I do
tend to lean towards the same initial, but again, that's because of my
history. Although we didn't do that with our kids. We didn't specifically
decide not to, we just found the name that we liked and it didn't start with
a T.

I know the feeling. I have a girl name and we're all pretty sure it
will
be a girl. (Sara Katrin) but all of a sudden the baby doesn't "feel"
like
a Sara anymore, plus I just found out Sara/Sarah is number 7 in the
most
popular names list this year. YAY. So now I'm trying to find another
girl
name with an S. And there aren't any! I like Salome but Sam already
vetoed
it and I kind of don't see me yelling "Salomeeeeeeeeeeeee" on the
playground, Stefanie, Sonja, Susanne, Sabine all make me shudder
because I
know at least one of each who was a stupid cow. I like Sandra, but
that's
my cousins name. And really there aren't that many more that are
pronouncable in german as well as in english/french. I like biblical
names
even though I don't "do" god/religion, simply because they're usually
pronouncable in any language. I like Abigail, but in german... No go.
Besides, doesn't start with an S. I like Ruth, but Sam doesn't. He
wants a
Sara Anna but Anna's my mothers name so I vetoed that *lol*.
I hate picking out names. For Sam it took nearly the whole pregnancy
and
even then I wasn't sure, but I looked at him and he was a Samuel
Christoph, so that was alright.
I have no boy name. It better be a girl.


All that said, I will go with Sara Katrin if I don't have some kind of
epiphany or a name comes to me in my sleep.


I quite like Samira/Semira, I think it works well in German too. Serena,
Scarlett and Shannon are all quite nice. Sienna might work quite well. I
like Sylvie.

But then what do I know - I definitely didn't want an S name! Didn't
think they went well with my surname!

actually, I do quite like Sienna Katrin!


Sam and Samira? hmmm. That might not be a smart move.


Hehe oh yeah

Yeah, I think it was because the *whole* family was 'S' (plus pets).

Stephen
Shannon
Sharalyn
Scott
Seth
Stephanie
(and if there had been more, Spencer and Stacia)

Then you throw in the animals:
Spunky
Sugar
Sassy
Sylvester
Sandi
Smudgkin
Strawberry
Sugarbutton
Shoely
Smidgen
Sammy
Simonetta
and of course our plecostomus: Sucktoria

It got old *very* quickly despite my parents love for this....All
three kids still living have sworn we will not do this to our
children. :-) And we're pretty close for the most part.

The way people change spellings, almost anything could need to be spelled,
even the teacher doesn't think so. Look how many names are on the Top 100
SSN List that are on there several times with variant spellings.

Madison sounds simple, right? But some people spell it Madyson now. I
remember back in the day Melissa was a very common name and now I see it
coming back, but it's often spelled Melyssa. I even know a Malyssa. Jacob,
Jakob, Katelynn, Kaitlin, Catelyn, too many to list, and as I was thinking
of using Caitlin I realized I can't remember the "proper" way to spell it, I
am still thinking is it Caitlin or Caitlyn?? LOL..And then I wonder, would
that make her Cate or Cait? :P


I'm not sure there is a "proper" way to spell it, it's not really a
proper name. The Irish way would be Caitlin but thats really pronounced
Catchleen. The Katelynn pronunciation is an anglicisation of the Irish
name as far as I know. There is no y in the Irish language so I'd rule
out Caitlyn. I'm not a fan of spelling names differntly to try to make
them unique, I know so many Kirstin, Kirstyn, Keerstin, Kristin,
Krystin's etc it drives me mad.

I saw a show on tv the other night about celebrity names, a rapper named
her daughter God'iss, I wanted to scream!

Oh lord. I can see why you would all put a moritorium on names with the
same initials in your family. I'm sure your sibs would give you ultimate
grief from here to eternity if you named your next child Alice or Adam. : )
