Greek Names

Hey, guys. So I was asked what my favorite Greek names were on Formspring so I thought that I would do a post about them. I have 10 girl names and 10 boy names for you today. So let’s get started.

Girls

1. Philomena- It means strong friend. The first time I saw this name was on formspring and I just fell in love with it. I really like the nicknames Mena or Pippa with it.
2. Ophelia- It means Helper. I really love this name. it is so pretty and grand. I like the nicknames Fia and Fifi.
3. Sophelia- It means wisdom, helper. I like this name because it is a great alternative to Sophia and it is just as pretty. You could even use the nickname Sophie if you like.
4.  Korene- It means maiden. The first time I saw this name was on Nymbler.com. I really like K names and this is one that I love.
5. Athena- It means goddess of wisdom and war. I LOVE, LOVE this name! I just saw it the other day and was like “Wow I really like Athena”. I like the nicknames Thena and Attie.
6. Iris- It means colorful, rainbow. I like this name because it is short and sweet.
7. Delta- It means mouth of a river. I Love this name. I like the nickname Delly along with it.
8. Delia- It means person from Delos. I like how girl-y this name sounds. I like the nicknames Della or Delly with it.
9. Anaxandra- It has an unknown meaning. I saw this name before but didn’t like it. Then when I was looking up names for this post I saw it again and fell in love. I really like how it has an x in the name.
10. Acacia- It means thorny tree. This name is very pretty and I like it. I like the nickname Cassie with it.

Boys

1. Thaddeus- It means praise. I LOVE this name! It has been on the top of my list for some time now. I like that you can use the nickname Thad with it.
2. Judas- It means praised. I like this name because of two reasons. One is that you can use the nickname Jude and two is that it means praised, which is such a good meaning.
3. Jericho- It means moon city. When I first saw this name I didn’t like it but now I have been really liking it. The only problem I see is that I don’t like the nickname Jerry with it. I would probably use the nicknames Rico or Rio.
4. Leander- It means lion man. I LOVE this name too! I have had this name at the top of my list for some time now. I like it with the nicknames Ander, Lee and Leo.
5. Lysander- It means one who is freed. I used this name on my blog before but I just had to use it again. I really love this name. I like the nickname Sander with it.
6. Evander- It means good man. I like this name but I don’t like the nickname Evan. I do like the nickname Vander though.
7. Barnabas- It means son of consolation. This name is like a GP for me. I like it but I think it would be too much for a baby to be named. If I was to use it then I would use the nickname Bas.
8. Ambrose- It means immortal. I LVE this name! I like how it sounds so grand and manly. I would use the nicknames Ami or Bro maybe.
9. Apollo- It means destroyer. I like this name because it has a grand feel to it. I do read a blog where the little boy’s name is Apollo and that is why I really like the name. (And he is so cute!)
10. Atlas-It means support, prop. I am reading a book called The Atlas of Love by Laurie Frankel and the little boy in the books name is Atlas Claude. I have seen it used before but this book made it all real.

So that is my list. As you can see I really like Greek names for boys. After this post all of the names are updated it the name tabs at the top.

As for little Apollo if you could keep him in your thoughts and prayers he just had heart surgery. Here is a link to his blog. http://bakersdozenandapolloxiv.com/

Bye for now and look for more names.

MLB Series: Arizona Diamondbacks

Since my color series is coming to an end and there are only 3 colors left. I thought that I would start another series. This series is going to be about MLB Baseball. I picked MLB baseball because I just LOVE baseball! I picked 6 boy names and anywhere form 2-4 girl names for each team.  I am going to do it in alphabet order. The first team I am going to do is the Arizona Diamondbacks. So let’s get started.

Boys

1. Konrad- This name is for Konrad Schmidt. He is number 33, a catcher and 28 years old. Konrad means wise counsel in German. I like this name but I’m not sure if I like it spelled with a C or a K.
2. Lyle- This name is for Lyle Overbay. He is number 37, an infielder and 35 years old. Lyle means from the island in English. I like this name but first heard it on 16 and pregnant so….
3. Paterson- This name is for Joe Paterson. He is number 47, a pitcher and 26 years old. It means son of Peter in English. I like this name because you can use the nickname Pat without using Patrick and because it ends in son.
4. Hudson- This name is for Daniel Hudson. He is number 41, a pitcher and 25 years old. It means son of Hudd in English. I like this name a lot but I keep seeing it pop up everywhere.
5. Cole- this name is for Cole Gillespie. He is number 5, an outfielder, and 28 years old. It means victory of the people in English. I like this name but I feel like it sounds like a nickname.
6. Upton- This is for Justin Upton. He is number 10, an outfielder, and 25 years old. It means high village in Egyptian. I like this name because it is so different.

Girls

1. Tatum- This name is for Craig Tatum. He is number 28, a catcher and 29 years old. Tatum means cheerful, full of spirit in English. I really like this name and use to see it a lot but not so much anymore.
2. Miley- This is for Wade Miley. He is number 36, a pitcher and 26 years old. Miley means smiley in American. I like this name but it makes me think of Miley Cyrus.
3. Kennedy- This is for Ian Kennedy. He is number 31, a pitcher and 28 years old. Kennedy means ugly head in Irish. I like Kennedy, especially with the nickname Kenna or Kema.

So that is the first post in the MLB series. I hope you like it and stay tune for more of this series and the color series. Bye :).

St. Patty's Day: Irish Names

So everyone knows that St. Patty’s Day is coming up. So in honor of it I am going to tell you my top 10 favorite Irish names for boys and my top 10 favorite Irish names for girls. You may have seen some of these names on my blog before but that’s okay. So let’s get started.

Girls

1. Kella- It means warrior. I really like this name because it is a great alternation to Kelly, not that Kelly is popular or anything. You could use it to honor someone with the name Kelly.
2. Monroe- It means form the hill. I have had this name on my blog before and I just love it. If you are a big Marilyn Monroe fan then you could use this name to honor her.
3. Tierney- It means lord. I think I had this name on my blog before but I’m not sure. I really love this name. it sounds so girl and cute.
4. Eilley- it means beautiful bird. I love this name. It sounds just like Riley but without the r. it makes a nice replacement for Riley.
5. Keelty- It means descendent of the slender one. I like this name because of its cute and girly sound. I really like names that end in the y sound for girls and that is what this name is.
6. Madigan- It means dog, mastiff. I used this name before but I just love it that much that I had to use it again. I really like it as an alternative to Madison, Madeline, Madelyn or any of the Maddie names.
7. Tieve- it means hillside. The thing I like about this name is that is sounds like Nieve, which is a very pretty name.
8. Kathan- It means battle warrior. I wasn’t sure whether I should but this name on the boy list or the girl list because it was unisex. I put it on the girl list because of the Kath part.
9. Maili- It means of the sea or bitter. I like that this name has the May beginning. I really like May names and I really like the spelling.
10. Monahan- It means descendent of the little monk. I picked this name because it beginnings with Mona which is a very pretty name and I have finally found a name that I like that I can use it as a nickname.

Boys

1. Conan- It means hound, wolf. I like this name along with the similar name Ronan. It is different and that is good with boy names because there is not that many boy names out there.
2. Finnian- It means white. I believe that I put this name on the blog already but I really like it. I like the name Finn but I don’t like the popular name Finley. So this is a great name for that.
3. Finnegan- It means fair, white. I also put this name on the blog already but I really like it. Again with the Finn part I like that you can use it as a nickname.  
4. Keenan- It means descendent of the fair child. I LOVE K names and this is a K name that I love. I think the first time I saw it was on Nymber.com when I was looking up more name.
5. Killian- It means church, monk’s cell. I love this name but only spelled with the k and not the c. There is the problem of the word Kill in the name but I could get over it.
6. Brawley- It means descendent of the Brolach. I like this name because it is so different. Braw sounds like a fight so that can be a problem and it does sound a little girly but I still love it.
7. Cashel-It means fortress. I like this name with the nickname Cash. I have finally found a name that you can use the nickname Cash with.
8. Gilroy- It means descendent of the red-haired one. I like this name with the nickname Roy. It is different and manly to me and that is why I like it.
9. Lennon- It means dear one. I really like this name but I wouldn’t want him to be called Lenny. He could be named after John Lennon.
10. Riordan- It means royal poet. I really like how this name sounds like Jordan and has the nickname Rio. I really like Rio but not on its own so this solves that problem.

So that is my list. I hope you like it and found some new names that you like. Bye for now.
