Noms français

French Names! The title to this post is French Names- in French. I practically live for French Names. Well maybe not live, but I love them! Some of my favorites include Gabrielle, Abrielle, Jaques. I love them all!

One of my favorite names would have to be Gabrielle. It is probably the most known French name. It's a feminine form of Gabriel and means God is my strength. 


Narcisse is also a French name! This isn't one of my favorites as it reminds me of Draco Malfoy's mother, Narcissa, in the Harry Potter Books. For that reason I would never name a child that. Anyways, it means Daffodil.


Sidney. A French, male name is ranked #846 in US births. I actually like this name although it has an odd meaning- Contraction Of St. Denys.


I love this name- Jacques! It is so pretty is a nice alternative to Jack (which is very popular). Jacques, of course, is French and has a really interesting meaning- supplanter.


And to finish off the lovely french names, I decided to go with name that could be for either gender- Cher. Cher, we all know as a singer but her name has an interesting meaning- Dear One.


What's your favorite French Name?

T

Hey! Today's letter is T! T is a hard letter, there aren't that many names that start with T and there is only a handful of 'good ones' in my opinion. But I managed to find some names that I did like. So let's get started!

Surprisingly there is only 1 name for Girls in the Most Popular Baby Name List- Taylor. Taylor to me is more of a boy's name but has definitely been renown as a girl's name by the popular singer, Taylor Swift. I also found an interesting spelling- Teighlor. This name is a boy and girl's name and means tailor.

Tara. This is a gorgeous name! Although it may not be all that popular since in the book Chrissa, the bully is named Tara. None the less, the name is great! It's an Irish name that means Tower or Hillside.

Tyler, Thomas, and Tristan were the only boy 'T' names on the list. My favorite is definitely Tyler! It's cute, short, and very strong. Tristan is okay, but a person at my school is named Tristan and his lunch once spilled on me. It does not bring happy memories. Now Thomas is cute. It is a Greek name meaning twin. Cool!

So there were your 'T' names. What is your favorite?

This or That? Name Game!

Hey! I recently found this cool YouTube channel, where I only watch the videos on names. One time, I stumbled upon a This of That video all about nicknames! I decided to do and my answers are beneath the choices.


1. Charles: Charlie? Chuck? Chaz?
Hmm.... I love Charlie! I'm not even a fan of Charles that much.
2. William: Will? Liam? Bill? Billy?
I like Will the best.
3. Margaret: Maggie? Madge? Marge? Meg? Molly? Peggie? Peg?
Molly! I never knew that it was a nickname of Margaret but it's really cute. I also found that Margo (or Margot, Margaux) can be a nickname for Margaret!
4. Angelina: Angel? Angie? Lina?
I don't really like this name, but I guess Angie.
5. Katherine: Kathy? Kat? Kate? Katie? Kitty?
Kate is really cute! But I like Katherine (and all other forms of it) spelled with C's. 
6. Gabriella: Gabby? Brielle? Ella? Elle?
Maybe Brielle or Gabby
7. Nathaniel: Nathan? Nate? Nat?
Nathan!
8. Christopher: Chris? Topher?
None of those! I would just call him Chris!

Babydow

Hey! I'm sure you guys are very curious about the title, so here goes! Babydow is an online Virtual game where you can be a 'mom' to online kids. It's very fun and after playing on it for a while I decided I would post about it!

I love playing this game! I especially like visiting other people's profiles to see what they names their kids. I  see names from popular like Jack and Ava, to the strange like Denzel and Sea. 

Here is my little girl, Abrielle Jade! When you first 'create' a kid, you can choose the Ethnic group, eye color, hair color, and hair style. Then you can visit them:

Here you can care for them, spend time with them, and have them participate in an activity. I like playing  with them and then entering them in activities.

This is especially fun for me because I can see what other people have named their kids and Abrielle has chance to win some trophies!

But it isn't all fun, you still have to buy clothes, food, accessories, and furniture for your baby. Each day, Babydow gives you beads (money) to buy things, so it isn't like Webkinz or InnerstarU where you have to play games to make money.

But that isn't all! You also get a profile page where you write a presentation and show your kids. I have a special message on mine:

I love names! :-)

If you decide (or already have an account), I would love to be friends! My user name is WinterGirls.

A Names!

Hey! I love the letter A! It's so cute and it seems to have billions of options. Anyways, to start off, I decided I would show you the five most popular names that start with A for girls and boys. Here they are!
Boys:                             Girls:
1. Aiden                         1. Amelia
2. Alexander                2. Ava
3. Asher                         3. Abigail
4. Andrew                     4. Addison
5. Aaron                        5. Audrey


I love the name Amelia! It's so cute and preppy and I love how it's the name of a famous aviator (Amelia Earhart). I was surprised to see this at the top of the list though, but I guess it makes sense. Mia is nick-name for Amelia and there are a lot of Mia's in the world so I'm guessing that's why. Anyways, Amelia is a Latin name.


Asher. I've never heard of this name before but it's very cute. It's a Hebrew name and means blessed an happy. This is an awesome name!


Abigail is also becoming very popular! I think there are about 3 or 4 Abigail's in my school who go by Abby. It's also another cute Hebrew name and means Joy of Father. Did you know there are 10 other spellings of Abigail?


A city in Texas is called Austin. And now kids are being called Austin all across the country! I don't mind it though, it's a pretty decent name. But I was shocked to find Austin was also a girls name! Where do people get these ideas? Anyways, it's an English name and has a very simple meaning of great.


What are some of your favorite 'A' names?

PS the next letter is 'T'.

What would you name triplets?

Hey! The other day I was on yahoo.answers.com and asking the question 'what to name triplets?' I like to see what other people are planning on naming their kids! And then I came upon this:

What Would YOU Name Triplets IF....?

(You choose the genders)


1. Their 1st names all started with the same letter, and middles all started with the same letter?
2. They had to be named after important people in your life?
3. They had to have your LEAST favorite names
4. They were named after celebrities
5. What would you actually name your triplets?

by Jade's Mama [TTC #2]

It's a cool triplet naming questioner so I decided I would answer it and share it with you all. So here goes:

{I using 1 boy and 2 girls}

1. I don't really like having twin/triplet names being the same, but it's the first question so here goes:

Harper Jade, Henry James, Helena Joy

2. Marie, Elizabeth, William (middle names of some close people)

3. I'm not going to do this so I don't offend anyone with those names

4. Selena (Gomez), Claire (Bridgit Mendler's middle name), Nathan (Kress)

5. Hmmm...... Probably Abrielle Marie (Aubri for short), Helena Elizabeth, Brenden William

What would your answers be? Please comment and let me know!
