You have some great guidelines and rules.

I agree with that! Made-up names are stupid too.

My naming guidelin...I agree with a lot of yours =)<br /><br />My naming guidelines:<br />~ The name has to have at least three letters (though nicknames can have less)<br />~ Generally I prefer unique names, but I'm not really strict about it.<br /><< Those are actually the only two I can think of XD I tend to like what I like on the gender I like it on regardless, so I don't have many guidelines.<br /><br />My naming rules<br />~ If you use a unisex name or a name on the wrong gender, the middle name needs to be obviously one gender or another<br /> << E.g. Quinn Jasper works, Quinn Jordan does not<br />~ Don't use rhymey sibling names and names that are two variations of the same name<br /> << E.g. Don’t use Sky and Kai or Alexander and Alexandra for siblings<br />~ Keep to the traditional spellings whenever possible (especially for foreign names)<br /> << E.g. Ciara NOT Keira, Sean NOT Shawn<br />~ Don’t change spellings when using a name on the “wrong” gender unless there are two or more legitimate spellings<br /> << E.g. Kai (b) becoming Cai (g) is fine, Emerson (b) becoming Emersyn is not<br />~ Don’t reuse a name or a name’s variation for another sibling<br /> << E.g. Don’t name one girl Winter Everlie and another Saskia Winter, and don’t name one boy Leonardo Dante and another Zephaniah Leo<br />~ I definitely agree with your last one: “Don’t let someone change your mind about a name! If you like a name, use it!” I would also add—Don’t let anyone tell you want names you can and cannot like, and what you can and cannot use.<br /><br />My pet peeves<br />~ Parents who spell names reaaaaaaally uniquely<br /> << E.g. If it's as simple as Hailey becoming Hayley I can live with it. If it's more like Hailey becoming Haeyliiey then it's a pet peeve for me.<br />~ People who make it their business to tell everyone else what they can and cannot name their kids.<br />~ People who give all of their kids names beginning with the same letter<br /> << E.g. Sean, Seth, Sophia, Sadie, and Skylar<br /><br />=)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547742702352783620.post-56087261161853008942012-11-11T16:56:22.052-05:002012-11-11T16:56:22.052-05:00Yes, I agree with all of these.

And when they insist on pronouncing a name completely different than how it's spelled or actually said. Oh, and made up names.Once Upon a Time Baby Nameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445800149825236516noreply@blogger.com
