Anyone know of a place online where I can find advanced meaning and origins of baby names?

I'm looking for something more advanced than this one-liner stuff I'm finding online. I know there's a computer program that you can buy that gives you access to a huge baby names database but I don't know what it's called or how to look it up. Any help would be appreciated. A friend of mine is having a little girl named Davanie Jayde and I wanted to do something with the meaning of her name for her room.

Anyone know of a place online where I can find advanced meaning and origins of baby names?
I wonder whether this Yahoo question from 7 months ago was from your friend: "i am having a hard time with a girls name ....not sure if its a boy or girl yet but i have a boys name picked Silas and i have a 22 month old boy named Addison, i like unique names...any help on a girl.....my boyfriends name is david and im Dani we have the name Davanie pick its dave and dani together...what do you think???





Jayde is a spelling variation on Jade, the usually green stone which has been so prized in China for centuries for jewelry and carvings.

Can anyone think of any really weird baby names?

Me and my partner are trying for a baby and we want a really ridiculous baby name to make our child a fun and free-willing kindred spirit.

Can anyone think of any really weird baby names?
Yes! Okay, don't listen to people if they say that "Don't be cruel!" because I know for a fact that at my school, people with cool/weird names are fun.





Serendipity- This is such a fun name! Its cute, and if she hates it then she has many different options for names.





Avalon- Very pretty/weird





Huckleberry (for a boy)





Think of countries... maybe France, Malaysia, Japan...
Reply:That's what actress Barbara Hershey tried to do when she named her son Free Seagull. He changed his name to Tom at age fourteen because he realized that his name was ridiculous. Nevertheless, why not choose a name from music, literature or art?





Monet ("mo-Nay")


Matisse ("ma-TEES")


Dali


Jagger


Lennon


Elvis


Copland ("kope-land")


Fitzgerald (nn Fitz)


Steinbeck (nn Beck)
Reply:I really hope you are joking.





You can't "make" your baby be anything. He will be his own person, and trying to force him to be a "kindred spirit" if he isn't anything like you is abusive.
Reply:Hmmm....here are some weird names, though the name doesn't really make the child a certain way:


Boys: Jaxley, Tajin, Ryker, Canyon,


Girls: Tizaria, Aspen, Kelza, Breeze

What do you think of our familys baby names?

So, my baby girl came twelve days early! My 54yr-old mom is nearly 7 months pregnant and my 14yr-old sister is 5 months pregnant both girls. what do you think of our baby names


mine=Peyton Hannah


moms=Amy Grace (not 2 old fashioned but classy)


sis=Destiny Chanel (I personally HATE this)

What do you think of our familys baby names?
Peyton Hannah is adorable, simple but not to common


Amy Grace is cute but common


Destiny Chanel, I like Destiny but not Chanel at all
Reply:mine=Peyton Hannah - Not a fan, personally. I don't like Peyton on either gender; and it's a bit trendy for my tastes. There are worse things you could have named your daughter (like Destiny ;D). I love Hannah, though.


moms=Amy Grace (not 2 old fashioned but classy) - Beautiful! You don't meet too many Amys nowadays. Grace is a bit overused as a middle name, but I like it with Amy.


sis=Destiny Chanel (I personally HATE this) - Yeah, I'm with you. This is pretty awful. Stripper meets designer handbag. At least she spelled Destiny right.





Congrats to all of you, by the way. It's remarkable that your mom is pregnant at 54! Most women have gone through menopause by then. Did they use fertility treatments?
Reply:your situation was somewhat similar to mine, my mother in law was pregnant the same time as me, I actually delivered 3 weeks earlier, that's cool your mom is having one so close to yours, my daughter is super close with her aunt, most assume they are cousins since they are the same age, but anyways, the names:





Peyton - adorable


Amy Grace - ordinary


Destiny - cute but I think it's a little much





Congrats!
Reply:Peyton is very cute! Hannah is alittle boring for me but I think its sounds good with the name Peyton.





Amy Grace is cute, alittle old fashion, but its cute!





Destiny Chanel...I don't like this name at all but it's not my child. I'm not a fan of names like Destiny, Hope, Faith, etc.
Reply:Is this a joke?





If not... then congrats to you and your mom and I am sorry for your sister's unborn child.





And Destiny Chanel? how ghetto can you get? A 14 year old is not mature enough to even name a kid, much less raise it. She should have adopted her baby out to your mom so your mom wouldn't have to get pregnant at the age of 54!





Edit: I love the post that Destiny Chanel looks like Disney Channel. So true!
Reply:Wow, stop drinking the water at your house, there must be an epidemic!! Your sister has the better name Destiny is nice but I don't like Chanel Have a feeling kids will be calling her "Disney Channel" how about Destiny CHANTELLE? Peyton is terrible for a girl. Amy Grace is nice but too plain.
Reply:Congrats to all of you ladies! Peyton Hannah is really sweet. Amy Grace is nice. Destiny is all right, but the Chanel with it makes it a bit too, I don't know, unique maybe? It's just too much!
Reply:wow....fourteen and fifty-four and having babies.





I like Amy Grace best.


Peyton Hannah is pretty but Destiny Chanel screams of being selected by someone who is not quite mature.
Reply:I like them all :)(:

What do you guys think of these baby names?

Okay, I'm not pregnant or anything, I just want to know what everyone thinks of these names. You're not going to hurt my feelings by not liking them, but don't be a jerk about them.





In no particular order..


Parker Elizabeth


Amelia Kate


Aimee Carrina


Sophia Lorraine


Emilie Lydia





Lucas James


Keegan Tyler or Taylor


Ryan Zachary


Cedric Mitchell


Henry Jacob





Thanks In Advance

What do you guys think of these baby names?
I like Parker for a girl. Not crazy about any of the guys names.
Reply:I like Parker for a boy. I do not really like Emilie Lydia. It does not really flow that easily. I like the boys, except I would switch Henry Jacob to Jacob Henry (what I was going to name my youngest son). Other than that, I like them.
Reply:I think any name you choose from this list is fine (although I don't personally care for Cedric Mitchell). The important thing to me would be the impact the name might have on the child. Some movie stars name their kids ridiculous names but they have money and won't have to worry about getting along in the world.





Your child's future can be influenced greatly by the name you choose. It begins in grade school (Hey Apple, were your parents Bananas?=taunting)and follows them through life (President Chastity=nothing commanding about that name). Don't get exotic and you are fine. (I added this little diatribe, not for you, but for others who read this and might think it is cute to name their kid something exotic).
Reply:how about these names??





emilie elizabeth


ryan jacob





good luck and congrats!!
Reply:I dont like any of the girls names but for the boys I like Keegan Tyler
Reply:parker sounds like a boys name, but i like ryan zachary and amelia kate
Reply:These seem like the kids will have the least teasing %26amp; their coworkers %26amp; bosses would be able to pronounce them:





Amelia Kate


Amelia Carrina


Sophia Lorraine


Emilie Lydia





Lucas James


Ryan Zachary


Cedric Mitchell


Henry Jacob
Reply:How about James Zachary or Carrina Lorraine?
Reply:Some of the names are nice, but the I don't like the way u spelled some of them.


My favorites r Sophia and Tyler.
Reply:dont like parker... a little too trendy. but i love aimee, sophia and emilie lydia. lydia is my daughter's name =) also love lucas, (that would have been lydia's name if she were a boy) and i also like ryan. thats my boyfriend's name
Reply:I love planning out baby names so it makes me smile to someone else doing it. I don't like Parker for a girl, and Amelia is hard to pronounce and she might go through half her life struggling to say it. I love Sophia and might suggest a different spelling for Lorraine: LoRayne. It's my sisters middle name and she is so proud of it. Emilie and Lydia are both cute names but I don't think they flow together to well. I am a fan of all the boy's names except Cedric and Henry (unless Henry is a family name then it's fine). I like Sophia LoRayne best for girls and Keegan Tyler for boys.
Reply:LOVE Sophia and Lucas. Henry sounds like an old man's name and Keegan makes me think of that Kegel muscle that they tell you to squeeze while you are pregnant. Cedric would grow on me and i always liked the name Ryan. Parker is kinda cool, but sounds like a rich spoiled kid a little but not as bad as the name "Preston" :)
Reply:Parker Elizabeth is cute


Amelia Kate is okay,


Aimee Carrina is nms


Sophia Lorraine is darling


Emillie Lydia doesn't flow well





Lucas James is nms


Keegan Tyler is adorable


Ryan is really common, but Zachary is cool


Cedric Mitchell reminds me of the circus


Henry Jacob is cute.

Are babies names getting worst?

Are babies names getting worst, why don鈥檛 people use a nice sweet names for there children, I have seen





Rshela


Natania


Fervina





Can you imagine what kids be called in the future





Nike


Levis


Plastic bag


Chav - iana

Are babies names getting worst?
Yes, I absolutely agree with you. When you start to think about the hundreds of traditional and dare I say, 'common' names out there, you wonder why people are choosing names for their children that are so 'out there'.


Maybe some people are looking for a name that no one else would choose.
Reply:This year's most popular boy's name in the UK is Mohammed. It's in the news today.
Reply:Our first child was born in 1974 and we called him Benedict Eliot. Second was Hannah Lydia. Next one was Cameron Dominic Ramsay.


Recently two younger friends of ours had their first baby and they called her Meadow.


So - I think the names we chose were quite civilised! Somebody at work told me today that friends of hers had had a baby son, and his surname is Kerr, and they had actually called him Wan.
Reply:i think people are just making up names these days whatever they like sure look at the celebrities =apple ? ...x
Reply:I think that what ever you wan tot name your kids is fine!! Why does everybody have such a problem with names these days??? You can pick out your own kids names and have a Jane and a Joe if that's what you want. Frankly I went to school with too many Sarah and Jasons!!! That's why my kids are named Brenton and Easton!!
Reply:hahahaha!!! everyone is trying so hard to come up with something unique that the babies are going to get made fun of in the future. most of the names arent even cute. oh well whatcha gonna do right?!
Reply:lol, I'm fond of dumpster and rutabaga


I know people named Dawnya and Larissa
Reply:yes they are i read today mohammed is going to be the top name at the end of the year how sick
Reply:yes they are getting worse..





my new neice is called Tamisha...poor kid.. but its her parents choice.....





should have called her frogmella/waynetta....or something??
Reply:I agree with you! Also, theres Apple, Rain etc.





When I have children, they will have 'normal' names. I like Vanessa. I don't want to invent names. I would hate to be called something strange.
Reply:no the names are not getting worse but the parents choosing them are
Reply:Meaningful names are quietly going out because some people likes to give their children names that sounds sweet without and meaning attached to it.


How can someone name his or her child stone, snake, tiger and all those animal names.


Can we give animals human names instead of giving human animal names. I think people should be interested in names that have a meaning and then inspire their wards to action positively.
Reply:The Celebs don't set much of an example do they?


How about the Beckham kids?


Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.


Not to mention Ginger Spices daughter,


Bluebell (when i was a kid that was the name of a cow)


Frank Lampards daughter is called Luna Lampard.





I once heard of a couple that called their daughter ASDAH (phonetic for ASDA)


What next? BMW? Plasma TV?


Poor kids....
Reply:Spelling and grammar definitely is
Reply:You mean 'worse' and 'their'....yes I agree, how selfish can parents be to inflict names like that on innocent babies?What's wrong with David and Margaret??


Feminists now give boys' names to girls..eg George, Tony.


When will we see "Boy named Sue" become a reality?...Not far off at this rate.
Reply:you are so right. it is getting worse. the excuse parents use is that they are looking for unique one of a kind names for their kids. its more like always the kid with the name to be teased instead of unique.
Reply:definitely! I was reading all the names for the beautiful baby competition in my local paper %26amp; it seems that people have exhausted all the 'unusual' names so have resorted to making them up. also why don't people think about the initials they are giving their kids and how they match their surnames. one kid was called Ava Sheppard (what? and a couple of sheep?)
Reply:A child in Scotland has been named by her naive parents





Chlamydia





because they thought it was pretty sounding. My question is why did the registrar not ask the parents if they knew it was a sexually transmitted disease? Or refuse to register the child with that name.





By the way in case you think I am, I am not joking I am deadly serious.








Why is the fact that Mohammed is the top boys name a problem? Do you just not like it or are you being racist? 'cos that just not on.
Reply:levi's already a name of a friend of mine. infact its a name thats ran in his family for many years. anyway, i think its just a fad...all the old traditional names are coming back. or traditional names that are double barreled. like my daughter. Lilly-Ann. named Lilly...cuz i liked it, and Ann as when i fell pregnant her fathers Aunt Ann died, and the minute i found out i said that if its a girl i'd hav "ann" in her name sumwhere...kinda like im perminatly remembering her, feels alot like i carried n gav birth 2 Dans aunt in many ways
Reply:I guess it`s your choice what to call your own children. I live in Japan and will be giving my kids Japanese names.





I do hope no poor kid gets stuck with something like "plastic bag" though! lol
Reply:Well we have the freedom to name our children what we want.


Some are sad.





Like a guy I know named his child "Abcde" pronounced (Ab-city)





And Espn - Pronounced Espen.





Dont ask me.
Reply:patel is very bloody popular on ever street corner they are....
Reply:Yes really bad, I may be of mixed race, but my god! Tthey are changing with the UK ethnic majority!
Reply:People laugh at my daughter's name , which personally I like very much. It's Tyanna pronounced Tiana, it means princess.





With unusual names I blame Jerry Springer for ab lot of them, have you heard the names of guests on his show.
Reply:parents should think about the torment their kids will endure by having such stupid names.
Reply:I think you are right. So many parents are selfish enough to choose names that are accessories for themselves and don't care about the consequences for their children!!!





All my children have names that are cute for them as children...but are mature for them as adults. It doesn't take much thought...but it does take the ability to think about someone other than yourself!!!!!!!





ADDED:





I see the racists have to get in on this too!!!!!
Reply:i read in a newspaper last year sometime of someone callin their kid Ikea.


Think i might call mine Tesco? Sainsbury? OOOoH, I got it, I'm gonna have a baby boy and call him Mark Spencer (surname)!!!!


And call my daughter Laura Ashley (surname).


By Jove thats it, I'm glad |I came on this website now!
Reply:I agree with you 100%! Thats why I named my son Robert Lee, and my soon to me daughter is Makenzie Lynn. I know Makenzie may seem a little out there, but its better than most of the ones my hubby thought of! I mean come on Temperance? Kihana? He even suggested Patience, i think it was to remind me to be patient everyday lol.
Reply:People pick names for their kids which they think are unique and lovely and cute for their little babies. But they forget that these babies have to grow up, become adults and get jobs!
