Need creative, yet tasteful names for a baby |
|
The mother's name is Anne The father's name is Adam
They want to somehow incorporate both their names into the child's name. I was thinking maybe look into the history of where their names came from and go from there, but I'm lazy today.
Any ideas?

Incorporates the D from the father's name if it's a girl.
For a boy...maybe Adain.

LOVED that name, along with a lot of other Irish names. If my son had been a girl, that's what I would have named her.
Audrine, maybe, for a girl, or Andrea? Andrew for a boy?

with Rufus for a boy, but before you are tempted to go with Rufuseena for a girl- I would ask you to consider it long and hard.

but you do have a point... the name does sound a bit mysterious.
I'm not sure how it would be pronounced though.
Madaenna = Ma DAY na Madaenna = Ma DEE na Madaenna = MAD in na

that the kid will have this name for life. Don't go with anything that always needs to be explained/spelled/pronounced. Meaning you may need to limit the creativity part.

Think of these factors:
1. Imagine a fifty-year-old and an eighty-year-old with that name. If the thought makes you wince, don't use that name. There were kids in my high school class with names like Patty Sue and Tommy Bill, which is not so bad when you're a child or teenager, but ridiculous when you're an adult.
2. Avoid the unisex names. Do you want your child always assigned to the wrong gym class or having magazine subscriptions addressed to "Mr" when she's really a "Ms" or vice versa?
3. Stick to traditional spellings and pronunciations, or your child will be spelling "Eric, A-R-I-C" or "Wyone Y-V-O-N-N-E" for the rest of his/her life.

You never know. I am amazed by some of the names that end up on our enrollment lists each year. At this point, nothing would shock me.
Here are a few more choice cities for future American kids:
Accident (MD)
Zzyzx (CA) I've passed this one on the way to Vegas many times.
Square Butt (MT)
Experiment (PA)
Nimrod (AZ)
Peculiar (MO)
Belcher (LA)
Noone (NH)
Drain (OR) I've been here before.
