Help[Opinions] Re: 2 BAs and a bonus question
in reply to a message by NobodyOfConsequence
I think the BAs are cute.
One of my friends who had a baby a couple years ago used her own MN as the baby's MN. It was Taleah.
I wouldn't give a kid my FN or MN, because...I guess I'm possessive of my name: it's *mine*, not theirs...but something more subtle would be okay...
*Me, my mom, and at least 2 generations of moms beyond her all (seemingly unintentionally) have an "or" sound in our 1st names. I could easily continue that pattern.
*My MN is an honoring name (used 3 times in the last 4 generations, including me) and ends with *el. I tend to like names that have an el in them.
*My sister and I both have V names, and I like a lot of feminine V names and a few masculine ones.
*I'd consider using a date/time/season related name (examples: Loveday, Epiphany, June, Meridian, Horatio), which I think I'm predisposed to like because my MN is one.
Something like Horatio Velimir would check all those boxes. Probably a bunch of other things would, too. I don't know if I'd use them, ultimately (I tend to be a spur of the moment namer, based on gut feeling), but it'd be an interesting way to narrow down a list.
