Lily and Leila, Diana and Danni, Eustace and Liam, James and Charles

As I sit here attempting to write a Psychology paper on attachment, my mind wanders and the internet is a very big place.... sooo much to look at and explore! I find my Listography, a place where I have many random lists. Two particularly stood out to me tonight, lists of names, one for boy names and one for girl names. Such a girl thing to do, but alas, I am female, so it's okay. I've decided I like names a lot. Some of them just sound so wonderful. And I must have many children, so that I can use all my favorite names (or maybe just lots of pets with rather human names instead of the typical Fluffy). I like rather classic names for boys and pretty names for girls. I shall share a few (or my entire lists...)

Boys:

  • James
  • Jeremiah
  • David
  • Liam
  • Charles
  • Eustace
  • Cedric
  • Seamus
  • Isaac
Girls:

  • Liliana (Lily)
  • Evangeline
  • Leila
  • Marisol
  • Diana
  • Isabelle
  • Violet
  • Charlotte
  • Danni
  • Natalia
  • Kristin
  • Veronica
  • Abigail
  • Joy
  • Deborah
  • Esther

  1. Karen, that is a great list of names.

    This Sunday, I had a Liam is in my class. Liam is one on of Nancy Well's grandchildren. Liam has a twin named Patrick.

    Seamus, I had to look that one up, Irish variant of James. James is the name I took when I was confirmed in the Catholic Church when I was in the 5th grade. Where did you run across that name?

    I like names too. One of the first questions I ask a new Sunday School student is, Do you know what your name means? And or, Do you know why your parents give you that name?

    I always knew my name was totally baller.

  3. I was reading along your girl names, and they all have so many syllables. All but one, that is. It's a good name, but not for the faint of heart. There's a lot of meaning packed into that one syllable.
