Time

Months, birth stones and now even days of the week. Time is becoming increasingly popular for parents choice in names. All you need to say now is "Sunday" and everyones mind strays to Sunday Rose (more commonly known as Sunday Roast), Nicole Kidman and Keith Urbans first child together.


Months have been commonly used, as has foreign spelling of month names. Here are some of the most commonly used Month names.

April
March
May
June
August
Avril-
French April


I haven't included this name but another month name I heard used recently was January. I guess if your using March, April, May why not add another month. I wonder if soon February, October and also December will be used as names. I guess anythings possible

Birth stones
With obvious relation to months boyfriends often use their knowledge of their girlfriends birth month to buy thoughtful gift. Thank god my birth stone is a diamond :D

Garnet/Garnet- Dark red gemstone of January
Amethyst- Purple jewel of February
Ruby - Red gem of the month December
Opal -
October
Topaz- November

Seasons (even this title "season" is used) are growing popular as baby names. Celebrity Summers including O.C character played by Rachel Bilson, and Winter, recently used by Nicole Richie as Harlow Winter Kate.

Summer
Winter/Wynter
Autumn

As stated previously days of the week are also growing popular.

Sunday - Sunday, the day of rest, used by Nicole Kidman
Friday – Harry Friday- definitely individual this was used by Simon Baker for his boy

Mythological usage

Marcella- Roman God names March was named after

Maia - nymph mother of Hermes, month of May named after her

Star signs:

Leo- the lion of course which is the star sign of July 24-August 23

Aries- March 21- April 20

Oh My! Darling Little Names that End in Oh

What is it about short little 'Oh" ending names that makes them absolutely adorable!



On boys especially I can't resist them!



On girls to they are adorable! I love the name Shiloh -not just because of Brangelina but because it is a lovely name. If I weren't to worried that people would immediately associate it with little miss Jolie-Pitt I would use it.



So now a list of Darling Little O names; inspired by Laura's suggestion of Rio.



Rio - A darling little name. It is supposed to be unisex but I say its masculine. Meaning river and originating in Spain I am definately putting this on the list for future children.



Theo - The short form of the more classical sounding Theodore. With simmilar qualities to the oh so popular Max I think thisname is one about to climb the ladder.



Leo - Leo, Cute, Short, Sweet. Literally means the Lion.How special willit be when your little Leo grows up to watch playschool and hears that song! He really will be the King of the Jungle!



Ringo - Any beatles fans? It means Apple in Japanese. NeedI say anymore?!?!!



Banjo - For the Aussie's - Banjo Patterson wrote the man from Snowy River. It was chosen by Rachel Griffiths for her little boy. I might be biased, being an Aussie and all, but I love it!



Mateo - Meaning Gift of God in Spanish as a form of Matthew this name is ranked 283 on the most recent American Social Security List - a name on the rise.



Indigo - Okay this is the third time we have suggested this name. But why not - my experience of this name is that it grows on you the more you hear it. Indigo, Indigo, Indigo, Indigo, Indigo, Indigo.....



Milo - The short form of Miles. This named peaked in the 1910s when it was ranked 408th. However, it is making a come back and was ranked 548 last year.



Cairo - Yes the capital of Egypt. I'm undecided but what do you think?



Romeo - This just rolls of the toungue. Romeo Oh Romeo! Give your little boy this name and he is sure to become a romantic like his namesake.



Cosmo - Forget the cocktail, and the magazine, and the seinfield character, and the Jeston's character, this name has a long history prior to these accociations. This name has barely cracked the Top 1000, briefly appearing in the years 1913, 1921, 1925 and 1926 before returning to obscurity. A daring choice.



Orlando- Mr Bloom. Use this name and hopefully your son will turn out to have half hi charm.



Marlow - This ties in with the whole surnames as first names trend. A much preffered version to the modern Harlow It doesn't remind me of harlot for a start and it reminds me of my favourite character in the book "Cold Mountain", Ada's father Munroe.



Diego- Yes I came across this name while Edward was watching TV. It's Dora the Explorer's brother. Diego is the spanish version of James and cracked into the top 100 ranks in 2002. I like it for its adventurous vibe!



Munroe- as previously stated Munroe is my favourite character in cold mountain. Originating in Ireland this name means 'mouth of the river'



Primo - So maybe this is a little over done. It might be usable as the name of the first son. A deriviatve form of Primus which was sort of like calling someone Junior today (Hey Peter Andre and Jorden did it!)



Bruno - a very masculine choice. It simply means "brown" ans was chosen bu Nigella Lawson for her son.



Marco - a little more mainstream for you. Not as chart topping as Aiden perhaps but its up there. Last year it ranked 209th in the US.


There you go! Did I more than make up for my lateness!

Charmed Again

Hi its me again (Amalia) and I'm still pregnant!!! Through these months I've been brainstorming ideas though I'm still in love with Wyatt i also love the name Spencer. Can you think of any other names similar to Spencer or Wyatt. I also like Cole from charmed but my partner doesn't like it. Don't worry about a girls name because I've already found my favourite girls name :D Thanks xxxxx Amalia

-----------------------------------------------------------
Hi Amalia!

We are really happy for you and hope that we help you with your name choices!

Well i think your names choices are very individual and hopefully our suggestions will also capture that. Our name choices (drum roll :D)



Jacob: a Hebrew name i think its simplicity recommends it.

Indigo: indigo the deep blue, purple colour is deep and adorable like the name Wyatt.

Romeo: a romantic name which means citizens, this ties in with Roman which also means citizen as both come from the Latin word Romanus.

Leo: Leonardo or Lenard (nickname or name). Leo meaning lion is rough tough and going with the roman theme :D was a common name during the roman era. and another charmed name!!

Archer: this name like Spencer is a last name meaning bowman from medieval times.

Rio: this name is short and sweet from Spain it means river.

Rowan: going with a bit of an R theme aren't we. Meaning little red head this cute name goes great with Roman.


We hope that these names help and if anymore help is needed for middle names or if more names are needed we are only a click away. What girls names have you chosen we always love to know???Hope to hear from you soon!
