Oh heyhey!!

 

So most of you I think are in the baby name group on Facebook, right?

I'm just going to assume you all shouted "yes!" to that!

 

Wellll, there has been quite a few questions about peoples guilty pleasure names and I realized that I literally don't have any.

I mean, I'm sure if I went through my giant list of names saved on my computer I could find a few but if you were to ask me, I wouldn't have any names to just throw out at the top of my head.

 

So tonight when someone asked on the Facebook group about what everyone's GP names were, I really thought about it and came up with 4 names for each gender.

 

Here they are:

 

Girls

 

-Bristol: I know a lot of people hate this name because of Palin's but whatever. I'm in Canada, I could give to craps about them. I just think its a cool name.

 

-Landry: Even though this name sounds like the word laundry and laundry is one of the things I hate most in life, I just really love this name for some odd reason.

 

-Kensington: One of my favourite bloggers has a daughter named Kensington and she is just the sweet little thing you ever did see and I am obsessed with her name. I think its super elegant sounding and I just love it.

 

-Capri: Ya ya, I know it reminds you of capri pants but I think its super sweet. And Colbie Caillaits song called Capri is just love ♥

 

Boys

 

-Justice: I'm not going to tell you the reason I love this name because well I just don't want some to Google it some day and be like CREEPER. But its just a fricken cool name to me!

 

-Abel: I had the name Abel Cash on my list for quite a while and I thought it was so badass but I just couldn't see me using it or having a kid with the name so I guess you could consider a GP since I still love it.

 

-Hartley: I think I would actually use this name if I grew some balls. But right now I don't have any soooo its on the GP list. I just think its so cute and with the nickname Hart.. Ahhh ::::swoon::::

 

-Maverick: I'm a reality TV junky .. A girl on the Real Housewives of OC has a song named Maverick and I think its so awesome! He is adorable so it makes me love it more. I also Hayley post that Maverick Sage is on her GP list and I almost died, its sooooo perfect!!!!

 

What are you GP names?

Different Spellings

Today I want to talk about spellings of names.  I'm hoping to have a Choosing The Name Series post for you next time!!

 Now typically I choose traditional spelling of names, but there is many spellings of many different names.  I'll list some examples, tell you the spelling I like best and then you comment below of the spelling YOU like best!!

• Jackson Vs. Jaxon --> I've always liked Jackson, but recently met a baby Jaxon and he's so stickin cute so I think that is why I started liking that spelling.  And now I almost like Jaxon better then Jackson...Jaxon seems more simplier.
• Kendall Vs. Kendyl --> I'm also a little bias on Kendyl as I have a favorite kid at daycare named this, but if I had to choose I would probably pick Kendall!  I'm also bias on Kendall as I have a cousin spelled that way ;)
• Mark Vs. Marc --> Mark is what I like 
• Addison Vs. Addyson --> I like Addison more, looks better in my opinion
• Cameron Vs. Kameron Vs. Kamryn --> I might be bias againi on Kamryn, but I honestly think it's cutier...but then again many people would spell this wrong!!
• Sarah vs. Sara --> I don't really have a preference, but if I had to choose I would pick Sara!
• Kaitlyn, Katelyn, Kaitlin, Katelynn, Katlyn, Kaitlynn, Katelin, Katlynn, Kaitlin, Caitlyn, Caitlynn -->  I like Caitlin the best!
• Catherine Vs. Katherine --> Catherine...I'm traditional!
• Shawn Vs. Sean --> Shawn!  I like it looks more like it is spelled!

What other names do you see with many spellings?!  Have a great week :)

my top names!

Hey all! Hope everyone had a great week. It's that time again for me where I have combos and a relative amount of confidence in them, so, here's a look at my current top combos!

Audrey Claire
Audrey is an English name meaning noble. In the Olympics, there was an adorable Canadian moguls skier named Audrey Robichaud who overnight made this go from one of my most hated names to one I cant get enough of! Claire is a French name meaning clear, bright and famous. This is my nana's name and one of my long time favorites. I'd love to be able to use it as a first, but my syllable OCD just wont let that happen!

Piper Alison
Piper is an English name meaning one who plays the flute. I think this name is so spunky and fun but still very sweet. It's another long time favorite. I also love the association with the Charmed character. Alison is a French name derived from Alice, meaning noble. Alison is to honor one of my best friends, Alyssa.

Leah Paige
Leah is a Hebrew name meaning weary. I've always been a huge fan of this name but didn't like the spelling. I considered the Lia spelling but it just didn't look substantial enough for me. This spelling has def just kept growing on me in the last little while. Paige is an English name meaning one who is a servant. It honors another of my best friends. I think Paige is super spunky and perf as a middle name to balance out the ultra classic feel of Leah.

Hunter Douglas
Hunter is an English name meaning one who is a hunter. This is my all time favorite name. I just think its so masculine and strong and cool! Douglas is a Scottish name meaning dark river. This is my dads name and all though its not a fav per se, I can't imagine not using it.

Bowen Isaac "Bo"
Bowen is an English name meaning son of Owen. It's a recent fav of mine. I love the nickname Bo/Beau but was having a hard time finding a first I liked. Since Owen bounces on and off my favs, Bowen was a natural choice. Isaac is a Hebrew name meaning he laughs. It's my uncle's name, a cousin's name and my brother's middle so although it's a long time fav it'd be just a bit too confusing to use as a first.

Jacob Sullivan "Jake"
Jacob is a Hebrew name meaning holder of the heal. I know a lot of people don't dig Jacob because of how popular it is, but I just love everything about this name. It's a masculine and classic and Jake is the cutest nickname! Sullivan is and Irish name meaning little dark eye. It's my last name and I think it'd be a nice way to honor my whole fam.

Those are my top combos of right now! wdyt? leave yours in the comments :)

~Ali

Sorry about this being late y'all.

This week was suppose to be my short week at work but it turned out to be quite long and I didn't have access to my computer.

 

So here is my Valentines Day post now :)

 

I'm getting these Valentines inspired named from Baby Center.

 

Girls Names:

 

-Lily: A flower name & who doesn't love flowers on Valentines Day?

I think Lily is such an adorable name. It's really cute for a little girl and it can be short for Lillian which is a great name for mature women. I think its an all around great name.

 

-Ruby: Is a shade of red, which is obviously the colour of the day. I use to hate the name Ruby but recently I have come around to it. I think its super cute and I love the combo Ruby Genevieve.

 

-Valentina: I mean of course, it has the word Valentin(e) right in it. I personally am not a fan of this name but it certainly is the perfect name for Valentines Day.

 

Boys Names:

 

-Roman (From Valentine of Rome): I LOVE the name Roman! I think its so handsome and great for all ages.

 

-Hart: I think Hart is a great nickname for the full name Hartley.

 

-Teddy: Who wouldn't love a sweet little Teddy bear for V-Day? I don't personally like this name but I think it would be adorable for someone with a Valentines Day baby.

 

What are you favourite Valentines Day baby names?

Place Names!

Happy Thursday Everyone! Hope you all are having a great week, and if you live in a cold place that you are staying warmJ. This week I’m going to talk about some of my favorite place names!! (In parentheses will be where the place is). Also, there are only girls names on this list, I’m not really into place names for boys.

Vienna (Austria) - I’ve been seriously crushing on the name Vienna lately! I just think it is so gorgeous. It’s girly, and flowing, and Vienna is a beautiful city so it has that nice connection.

Charlotte (North Carolina, USA) – This is a name that I have always always loved. Charlotte is so old-fashioned and sophisticated while still being cute. It also has the really cute nicknames of Charlie and Lottie.

Geneva (Switzerland) – I’ve always thought that the name Geneva was so beautiful and uncommon. I had a teacher in middle school named Geneva and always thought it was really cool. I also love the possibility of the nickname Eva J

Georgia (Country/US State) – Georgia is another gorgeous old-fashioned name. I think it just flows off the tounge, and I love the image of a sweet southern belle. Also, I love the nickname Georgie.

Florence (Italy)- Again, just an old-fashioned sweet name J I love the city of Florence and the image that this name creates in the mind. 

NOTW: Jackson

Happy Wednesday!  It's Name Of The Week time!  If you have a time you would like to see in NOTW please leave it below! :)

Choosing Names: Stefanie's Guest Post

Hello all!  Happy Monday!  Today's post is from Stefanie about choosing her children's name!  Hope you enjoy and thanks so much Stefanie!!

------

Naming a child can be a difficult process!  A name is one of the first gifts you give your child, so it takes a lot of thought. I have some experience with this process, because I had the privilege of naming four children!

We never found out the gender of our children while we were expecting, so we had to come up with two names each time.  In my experience, coming up with a boy name was a lot more difficult!

My husband and I tend to go for simple boy names that can't be shortened into a nickname, but we are the opposite with girl names.  We like elegant ones that can be shortened into a cute nickname.  The middle names are always in honor of a family member.

We found out we were expecting our first child in 2004, and we immediately bought a baby name book.  I suggested the name Alexandria for a girl.  It was a name I always loved, and I was supposed to be Alexandra until my older siblings vetoed it. While reading through the book, we found another girl name that we loved: Arabella. We decided if the baby was a girl, we would wait until we met her to see which name fit her best. We read through the list of boy names, from A to Z, and Dylan was the only name we both agreed on.  We decided on Dylan, with the middle name Ross, which is a family name on my husband's side.

On November 22nd, Dylan Ross entered our lives.  His name was chosen early in our pregnancy, and the name fits him perfectly!

Two years later, baby #2 was on the way.  Alexandria and Arabella were still the only names on our girl list and we decided on Logan or Caden for a boy. We chose the middle name Elizabeth for a girl, after my mom's second middle name.  Once again, we decided to wait until we met our baby to see which name fit him/her best.

On February 22nd, 2007, Alexandria Elizabeth was born.  Within a few hours, we gave her the nickname Lexie.  I love how she has a pretty first name that will be perfect in a professional situation, but a nickname that suits her well right now.

About two years after Lexie was born, I heard the name Lilia, and I loved it. I thought it would sound even prettier as Liliana (pronounced Lily-awna).  Even though we thought we were done having children, I told my husband that if we ever had another girl, her name would be Liliana.  He agreed, and 2 years later, we decided to have another baby.

We never even discussed a girl name.  Liliana Kathryn would be the name if we had a girl.  Kathryn is my middle name, which happens to be a family name. We never settled on a boy name, although many were suggested.  If it was a boy, he would be named Hayden or Liam, but it was never decided.  While I was pushing, we argued boy names!

Luckily, we didn't have to decide.  On August 3rd, 2011, Liliana Kathryn was welcomed into the world as the sun rose over Pittsburgh.  Her nickname quickly became Lily and the name is just as sweet as she is.

We thought that was the end of our baby naming story, but when Lily turned 17 months, we found out another little blessing would be joining us.  We immediately decided to use Arabella as our girl name, but we could not come up with a boy name.

We argued names through my entire pregnancy, and we were still arguing over the name while I was pushing.  The only thing certain was that he would have the middle name Dayne after my husband's dad's middle name.  He passed away just before we found out we were expecting again, and we knew we would give our son that name, in honor of him.

On August 18th, 2013, a beautiful little boy joined our family.  When our son was born, we were delivered the unexpected news that they suspected he had Down Syndrome.  We were so shocked over the news that we never settled on a name.

When he was a few hours old, I told my husband that he could choose the name. On our list was Mason, Liam, and Cohen.  My husband smiled and announced his name would be Liam Dayne.

I'm 99.9% certain that Liam is our last child.  I am slightly bummed that we won't get to use the name Arabella, but maybe I can convince one of my daughters to use it someday!

Our baby naming journey lasted nearly a decade.  The names we chose fit our children's personalities perfectly!
