Ideas of Other Traditional Names
| Wed, 11-28-2007 - 10:35am |
Hello all!
I'm trying to expand my horizons and think of some more fairly traditional, longer boy and girl names.

Dashiell nn Dash
Cormac nn Mac
Alexander nn Xander, Lex, or Ander(s)
Jameson nn James or Jamie
Everett nn Rhett
Rafferty nn Rafe
Christopher nn Topher
Ooh, I am swooning over your kids' names. Just lovely!
I must say I don't consider "Savannah" to be a traditional name. (Yes, it is long, though.)
How about:
Caroline or William or Alexander
Cathy
Savannah - This is a bit trendy for my taste, but it is pretty. What about Susannah or Selena?
Amelia - It's very pretty and traditional; I just hear it too much lately to be very interested in it at present. Amalia is similar, also very pretty, and less common. Ditto for Adelia and Adalia.
Eleanor - I like it, but I like Helen and Helena even better.
Gwendolyn - I like it, and I seldom hear it.
Samantha - I like this name, but I guess I just hear it too often to find it interesting any more.
Danielle - I have never warmed up to Danielle. I just don't find it very attractive. I like Danica, though, or Noelle or Giselle.
Jocelyn - I like it!
Harrison - This is probably just me, but I'm tired of the surnames and -son names. Some H names I like are Hal, Harry and Henry.
Benjamin - I like this very much. I also like Benedict.
Timothy - I have always found this name a bit soft. I'm not crazy about it.
Griffin - Nice but trendy; I prefer some other G names, such as Gareth and Garrick.
Zachery - This is fine.
Jameson - I love James, but Jameson is too trendy for my taste.
