...which of the ladies on here share your naming style?

Personally, I don't feel like I share the same tastes as most of you (no offense to anyone), but the closest might be Gaby's Mama or MommaonCloud9.

[Londa]

Hmmmm... I can't think of any really. I tend to be all over the place with my naming taste.

I know who I DON'T share a style with!

As for who I do.. hmm.. Christen, maybe?

[Momtothe6thpower]

I'm a fairly new poster so I really don't know. But I like most names

[cheezpoofs]

Yes I do.






Nobody.

Psh. I like A LOT of the same names you do, Ma'am. We disagree on a lot too. Not sure which number is higher though, haha.

That's true. Imagine October also tends to like many of the same names I do....

I like that no one else has the exact same taste in names as hubby and I do. It helps with keeping the names we like uncommon and unique. If everyone liked the names we wanted to use, they'd be top ten.

I feel the same way. Of course, both my kids ended up with ultra popular names, which is odd given my love for the more unique ones.. wanted Ariadne and got Lauren, lol.

[alicia1984]

I don't know. I like all sorts of names.

[*~ Joni ~*]

My kids names are odd so I guess no one. lol

Jacoby isn't THAT odd.. it's ranked at 423 in 2008.

[Mama.Angie]

I'm a new poster here, but I am pretty sure I share no common interest in names with anyone else here. I'm fine with that. Everyone adds their own perspective, and that's what makes this type of board more exciting I think.

[mrscheriezach]

i think everyone on this board is so different....I think they should lump baby names with politics and religion...its an endless discussion probably why im always hanging around this board! its so interesting.

[Bedazzled]

hmmm....I think I have similar taste as Tiffany (MamaPickles) and Hayden and Nicholas's mommy (can't think of her name). I don't know if they share the same tastes as me lol but I always tend to like their names.

I do like a lot of your names/similar names as you do CheezPoofs!

I'll say that while I can appreciate (mostly) other's choices in names, and sometimes find common ground when it comes to a certain name. I don't really believe I have a "naming BFF/Soulmate" on the board, where I'm like "I love that name! And that one too! That one also! Oh and this one!" and I don't think anyone feels the same about my naming style.
You know what I mean?

But I, too, also like the fact that no one likes all of my names. In fact, on my "vote for my names" page I almost get excited that some of my favorite names have low numbers,
at least I know it's not going to go booming up the charts! ::Crosses Fingers::

[kristi714]

I'm not on a bunch but when I do come here the girls that I have noticed I like alot of the same names as are Erica(she has the daughters Brinlee & Isablle) and Miracle. I usually tend to agree with their opinions on a name and selections. Plus I really like their kids names.

[MommaOnCloud9]

I've noticed Melissa (Miracle) and I like a lot of the same girl names - long, ultra-feminine - with a few newer, trendier names thrown in (Cambria, Mattea) - although I wouldn't use any of the latter for my own children. I also like my girl's names to have been popular 80+ years or so ago. One book I have referred to them as an "antique charm" style.

brui77, I haven't noticed if we like some of the same names. I love your son's name, at least, I'm guessing it's Charles with a nn of Charlie? I like strong, masculine, sometimes guy-next-door names that were popular late 1800's to early 1900's (Jack, Max, James, Jake, Oliver, Leo, William).

And, I've noticed Christen says it's important for the names she likes to sound professional. I'm the same way. I think of how my child's name is going to look and be perceived on academic and professional applications. So, like my Dh and I love the name Lily but I just don't know if others would take her seriously in medical school, law school, etc... So, we've been tossing aroud long forms of the name and then if she ends up being an actress, an artist, or the like she could still use just Lily.

So, I don't think I 100% align with anyone but there are different aspects of baby naming that I'm similiar to others in.

[LadyGamer]

I agree that none of us line up, but I do think we all have a bunch of overlaps. I mainly think I overlap with MommaOnACloud, a lot of the time with Kes, though we have a bunch we differ on too, and I'm guessing Eden&Isla's mom (since those are two of my top three girls names right now).

Yes, completely ditto. I think that you and I may disagree with regards to particular names, but it's the same general style. For example, I love all of the boys' names you have listed there, but I probably won't use any of them. Names we are looking at closely are: Roger, Beau, Maggie, Felicity, Lucy, etc. -- basically, my grandmother's classmates.
