Name This Baby Boy

This is another game I enjoy playing. Name the baby boy in this photo using his real initials C.I.G.

The last letter G is a name that can be used as a last name or a first name. 

You don't have to limit yourself to one name, you can come up with a whole list of possible names for him using the initials C.I.G.

Enjoy!

Use the rules given to provide a first name (fn) and a middle name (mn). Enjoy!

Husband: fn - Irish, mn - begins with letter J
Wife: fn - Biblical, mn - starts with R

Daughter 1:  fn - long feminine sounding name, mn - flower name
Daughter 2: fn - starts with letter L, mn - virtue name
Son 1: fn - Welsh name, mn - strong masculine sounding name
Son 2: fn - Biblical name, mn - Irish name
Daughter 3: fn - French name, mn - form/related to Elizabeth
Son 3: fn - starts with letter R, mn - related to or similar sound as father's fn

Hope you have fun doing this. If you're interested in playing more name game like these let me know and I'll post more! :)

Vote In My Name Polls

I just created two polls on the sidebar for you all to vote in. I randomly generated combos at Baby Name Genie and picked the nicest names. Vote for all that you like and let me know which ones you voted for and why.

I voted for these:

Girls:
Margaret Annette - love Margaret and Annette is interesting
Rachel Genevieve - I rather like these name together but would prefer Genevieve Rachel
Tabitha Hope - love this combo, it's so sweet!
Evelyn Hannah - rather nice but Hannah is quite popular
Annika Claire - very pretty
Cassandra Morgan - love Cassandra, Morgan is okay but not the best with first name Cassandra

Boys:
Sullivan Elias - like this quite a bit
Craig Roland - I'm like the name Craig more and more, Roland is okay but rather old sounding
Asa Ethan - love Asa and Ethan is okay as a middle name
Bronson James - like the flow of this combo
Noah Emmett - love Emmett and Noah is cute
Porter Trenton - both names are interesting, I like Trent better than Trenton

Just a bit of fun. The polls will be up for a week and then I'll post the results. So vote away!

Adding & Changing Favorite Combos

I've been thinking a lot about my favorite combos and I've been wanting to add two more combos bringing each list up to 12 combos.
You can find my favorite combos in the page tabs above.

Your opinions are much appreciated!






Girls First Names:

• Jane - I currently have Jane Sophia on my list but I've been loving Sophia as a first name lately and want to seperate it from Jane. So I'm looking for a new middle name for Jane. What do you think of Jane Margot, Jane Margaret, Jane Evelyn (or should I spell it EveLynn because that's how I pronounce it?)
• Sophia - I just love how beautiful Sophia is and want to give it a special place on my favorites list. What do you think of Sophia Lisette? Or maybe Sophia Margot, Sophia Evelyn or Sophia Isolde?
• Phoebe - I've always loved Phoebe and want it back on my favorite combos list. What do you think about Phoebe Isolde, Phoebe Evelyn or Phoebe Margot?

Here's names I'd like to use as middle names: Catherine, Evelyn (or is EveLynn better?), Isolde, Lisette, Margaret, Margot. Any other combo suggestions using first names above?


What about Evelyn? I love this name but I always pronounce it like eve-lin instead of the common ev-uh-lin. So I'm wondering if I was to use it should I spell it Evelyn and pronounce it how I want to or should I spell it Evelynn, EveLynn or Eve-Lynn?


Boys Combos:

• Jonathan Garrett - I've been loving both of these names and thought they sounded rather nice together. What do you think? Or do you think Jonathan Rhys and Garret Matthias / Matthias Garrett works better?
• Emmett Humphrey - I love Emmett as a first name lately. And I'm liking Humphrey more and more lately but think it works better as a middle name.
• Also what do you think of Ian Kenneth? Is it better than Jack Kenneth?

I know, lots of questions but I'd love hear your thoughts on all of these things!

Thanks so much!
Miss Laurie
