Current Favourites

Hi sweet friends!

I haven't talked about my favourite names lately and they have changed a little bit.

So I thought I would update you all on my Top 5 for each gender and add in a few extra names that I am liking just for funzies!

Top 5 Girls Names

1. Mila Gray

2. Wren Elisabeth

3. Stella Vivienne

4. Harper Eloise

5. Isla Genevieve

If I had only one little girl in the future and I had to pick only ONE of the above names, I think I would choose Harper Eloise. Its the only one that I have never fell out of love with. Right now Mila is my absolute favourite but I go on spurts of loving it and then just blah.

Top 5 Boys Names

1. Camden Maxwell

2. Griffin Kane

3. Rowan Elliott

4. Parker Jameson

5. Smith Easton

If I had only one little boy in the future and I had to pick only ONE of the above names, I think I would choose Camden Maxwell. I like the nickname Cam and I've even though of giving Camden a middle starting with J so that the nickname CJ would be available in the future if he didn't like Camden or Cam. Suggestions?

Other names I've been liking:

1. Harlow: I was in line at the grocery store and there was a little girl named Harlow in front of me and she was the cutest little thing EVER and I instantly started liking the Harlow.

2. Beckett: I don't know if any of you know who Melissa Rycroft-Strickland is? If not she was on The Bachelorette. She just had a baby boy named Beckett and I think its a really sweet name. What do y'all think of it?

What are YOUR top names at the moment?

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?

4 Letter Names

Hi Ladies :)

 

Lately I've really been digging any name that has 4 letters. I just find them really cute and they look complete to me for some reason. Today I am going to share my top 5 favourite girls and boys names that are 4 letters long. So lets get started :)

 

Girls

 

#1 - Kaia

~Derived from the Hawaiian name Kai.

~I just recently started LOVING this name. It is currently my #1 top name for a girl.

 

#2 - Ella

~Currently #12 on the SSA Charts.

~This was the very first name I remember loving. It has been on my list for at least 14 years.

 

#3 - Mila

~Pronounced MEE-La.

~I think most of you know how obsessed I have been with this name. I LOVE it!

 

#4 - Sage

~Can be used for both boy and girl.

~I've always loved this name as a middle name but as of late I've been digging it as a first name. I think its really cool sounding.  

 

#5 - Avia

~Any Shaytards fans out there? This is the name of their eldest daughter!

~I also just recently started liking this name. I am considering adding it to my top 5.

 

Boys

 

#1 - Cash

~Currently #270 on the SSA Charts.

~This was my top boys name for the longest time but then 3 people I know all named their son Cash/Kash and I was not down for that.

 

#2 - Cruz

~It's a Spanish/Portuguese name meaning: Cross.

~I had this as a brother to Cash on my list BUT then my neighbour at 2 boys and named them Cash and Cruz. UGH.

 

#3 - Cade

~Not short for Caden.

~I guess you could say I like "C" names. I think Cade is super cool and I still think about using it sometimes but I'm not sure I would like it years from now.

 

#4 - Kane

~Irish and Gaelic origin.

~I mean, is this not such a cool name? I think its so badass. I could picture myself with a son named Kane and he be such a tough hockey player.

 

#5 - Luke

~Currently #37 on the SSA Charts.

~I love the simplicity of this name. I think it works for a baby, toddler, preteen, teen, adult. Its just an average name and I think its super cute.

L Names

Hi friends! So I have officially decided to come back and be a regular part of The Name Nook again and I am super excited about it. So thanks again for the other bloggers for welcoming me back!

I plan on doing some fun posts BUT today may be a little boring because I was suppose to work at 2pm but instead I got called in to go this morning until 8pm tonight. I am doing the best I can on my cellphone right now, so bare with me!

Lately I have been LOVING 'L' names for boys! Which is weird because I never ever have liked a single 'L' name until recently. I just never saw the appeal in them.

Here are my favourites:

Lincoln - This name is getting SO popular where I live & with celebrities like Kristen Bell & Dax Shepard and kind of celeb Kailyn Lowry from Teen Mom 2. I think its such a sweet name. I feel like its nice and fresh where people think its unique but its not trashy and trendy.

Logan - I use to like this name for a girl because my neighbours granddaughter was named Logan and I just saw it as a girls name. NOW I cannot see it on a girl AT ALL. I think its SO handsome for a boy.

Lachlan - Again I love that this name has a newish feel to it but its not trashy and trendy. I think its absolutely adorable and I would totally use it.

Levi - I like Levi more a middle name but I am starting to like it as a first name. I think its just a cool name.

London - I like this name for both genders. I don't know if I would be able to use it because I live 45 minutes from London, Ontario & most of my family lives there, so I'm not sure but I think its a cool name.

Lennon - Again I like this name for both genders. I think its super cool and awesome.

Anyways sorry for this random post, I promise to have ones that get more into names and are more fun to read but this is as good as it gets from my cellphone! Thanks for reading.

What are YOUR favourite 'L' names & WDYT of the names I listed?
