Baby Names

I've been looking at what I think are the perfect baby names. That is, perfect for me, which may not be perfect for you or anyone else who reads this blog, but is irrelevent to whether or not I like the name.
Yeah, that sentence made sense. Not.

I used good ol' Nymbler, a baby name generator that suggests tons of baby names according to your 'style.' Check it out. I think it's pretty rad.

My list of perfect baby names consists of 5 boys, 5 girls.
Ladies first: Roxanne, Amelia, Adeline, Estella, Sophie
Gentleman: Theodore, Oliver, Basil, Milo, Edmund

I got this list by starting with the inspiration names "Theodore," "Oliver," and "Roxanne." You can search for just boys names, girls names, or both. My inspiration names were names that I had already chosen ages ago.

I'm such a baby-lover that I already thought of some nicknames too, as soon as I saw the names (nicknames are a very important thing to me, they make you special!).

Roxanne- "Annie" or "Rocky"
Amelia- "Lia" or "Amelia-bedilia" (from the books. haha)
Adeline- "Del-bel"
Estella- "Estell" (so clever, I know. lol)
Sophie- "Soapy" or "Soph" (Soapy FTW?)
Theodore- "Theo" or "Sir Dorington"
Oliver- "Olive" or "Olly"
Basil- "Bay-bay" (totally babyish and would probably be dropped by the time he entered high school)
Milo- "Miles" or "My-loaf"
Edmund- "Eddy" or "Ed"

Don't make fun of me. :P
I'm nowhere close to even having kids (I don't even have a steady boyfriend yet!), but I am head-over-heels for these names. So much love. Let's just hope my future baby-daddy agrees! (He better!)

For fun, I used my own name as inspiration and got...
Girls: Catherine, Crystal, Veronica, Margaret, Victoria, Claudia
Boys: Thomas, Andrew, Nicolas, Peter, Simon, Benjamen

**On an all-girls search, "Priscilla" came up. Eww!!
