subtitle: the name game

haven't done one of these in a while. i give alot of thought to how i would raise my kids but little to no thought to what their names will be. well, actually i've given it thought. everytime someone has a kid i think about the name they gave them. i couldnt decide on a name because it's so permanent. that is that kids name for life. some names are cute when the person is a little boy or little girl but can you image calling some 30 year old woman Kayla? or what about a baby named Opal? a name that's perfectly fine for a 60-year-old woman. but maybe i dont need to think about a name just yet. i suppose i would let my husband have some input unless he was talking crazy tryna name my sons Walker and Texas Ranger. 

what are some of your favorite names?

opal? LOL!!! i like oldish sounding names like ava & sophia, or general sounding names like avery & kennedy. for boys, i like classics like matthew & jonathan, or newish like aidan & liam.

p.s. i just want to thank you for the post on the clinique deodorant. it is heavenly! LOVES IT!!

See I didn't think Kayla was bad at all..lol
Yes, names are very important and for life as you menioned. LIke that actress who named her kid Apple...I mean really was she serious? I can just hear all of the apple head jokes as school now.
Anyway I watched a Tyra show over the summer and it was all about names and how people can look at a name on lets say a resume and make assumptions before even meeting the person. So names are a bid deal...I had names back in the day but I have since forgotten them which is an indication that I was not too attached to the names..lol

@PCD- i love your name picks! and you are welcome

@karrie b.- i feel u

@t- come on somebody! trig though? and im not to happy about any of the other names that woman picked either.

@ PJD- names from back in the day i had picked out were an absolute mess...and yes, that resume is a factor to consider, unfortunately. i know people think im white with my name because people actually are surprised when my black ass shows up (i be lookin fly though so they cant hate).

@don- um, i am at work and you almost had me hollerin'! anyway, im flattered you like the name Ashley but please dont curse our child with the least imaginative, most common name ever. i like your other names but kiara is taken by both your baby and my niece.

Ooh, I love this post!! I'm always thinking about baby names even though it irritates my husband.

I'm with PJD, I thought Kayla was fine for an adult, it's so close to my name! LOL I have a little cousin who's name is Kayla too.

Anyway, I love unisex names, although my husband thinks that they're terrible and will confuse the kid about his sexuality! LOL (i.e Ryan, Taylor, etc.)
