What name would you give your next baby?

I am not having another baby but I had a name chosen if I had a boy, and I had a girl 4 years ago =) If I had a boy his name would be Travis. I don't really look at religious significance although meanings could come into play as long as I liked the name already and wasn't just choosing it based on meaning. There are some wonderful meanings but the names aren't always that great. As far as why I'd choose this name, I've always liked it. My best friend's youngest son is Travis, so now I like it even more.

The next name I would have for my next child if a girl is Aaliyah, a Hebrew name meaning to travel. I love it because I do love to travel, too. If it's going to be a boy, his name is I think something Japanese. My first daughter is named after a Japanese champion swimmer/diver Chiyomi. It means "Dream". I am sick of the Western influenced name for us Filipinos and also did not like my folks named after the name almanac by their Spanish roots.

I don't plan to have any more children, but can say that I agree that when naming our children we should consider the impact that bearing that name will have on the rest of their lives. When choosing names for our children, my husband and I took a great deal of time. When we found names we liked (all of our children were named after family and very close family friends) we looked up the meaning and discussed whether or not we felt our children would like the names when they got older. I sometimes feel people take naming their children too lightly and don't put enough emphasis on how important it is. To some it even seems to be a game. My children have classmates whose names are so strange, difficult to pronounce and almost impossible to spell. Some have said their parents told them they just picked out letters, put them together and voila, there was the child's name. It's really a shame.

hi there clowdine. i am not planning to have a baby but still i want to join your discussion. i have four children and they are all teens already. their names are Justice, Jury, Judage and Judiciary. cool isnt it? so if ever i will have a baby again amybe i will name that baby Juror.

If I have a boy baby ever again, I would probably name it Mordachi Elijah, but I am not really sure, I don't think I will have any more children because of my age and health so I don't think I will have to worry about this at all. Anyway I like to give my children names that have good meanings,if at all possible. I think names are interesting.

I dun have a baby and dun plan to have any soon also.. But i do know how one of my fren came up with his baby son's name.. As chinese, we will have 3 characters in our names and also our surnames plays an important part too.. And my fren is actually quite smart to have the last character of his son's name, put it together with his name, to make it a word, HONOUR.. lol ^_^ BUt i wonder will the son mind, when he grows up.. lol

I have always wanted to name my first baby Athena... because she is the Greek Goddess of wisdom (or the like)... but my husband wanted a name that is connected to music... so we chose Callia which means beautiful voice... so if my second baby is a girl... for sure she would be given the name Athena... but if the baby is a boy... then we would have to search a name with a great meaning...

Yup, it is the current trend to give kids as meaningless names as possible. I have heard some perfectly horrible names. I don't even know the correct meaning of my own name! I don't plan to have kids right now, if I do, I will make sure I will give them a nice, meaningful secular name. Cheers and happy mylotting

My kids all have names that just sound good, and none of them have any meaning. Although 2 of them have middle names that have meaning. One of my boys has his father's name as a middle name, it's a tradition in his family. My youngest son has my godfather's name as his middle name.

hi dear now i am at a stage where i have to start collecting the names for my grand children. well i think for that parents have the first right.and you donot know what appeals at the spur of the moment. and a list is commonly available for any reference .

Me too I'd like to name my child with a meaningful name, but today I have no plan yet to have a baby, anyway I want to name my first baby as Emannuel "GOD is with us". I'd like this name because it reminds us that GOD never abandon us, He is always with us.

i like religious and spiritual name,cos when calling those names,most especially those that goes with their future like joseph,emmanuel etc,you are prophesying into their life.

Well my first child is named Zackary Blake my second is Brice Josiah, and if i had anymore.. it would be Jase Xzavier for a boy and Brynn Arianna for a girl.. i just go by the ones that sound good i guess

Well even though I am done having children I would have named my next child had it been a girl, Olivia Rene.

i have a name but i'll wait on it.
