i think that all of these names are pretty maybe morgan or danelle

To Marilyn having a baby with Norberto: Girls: Norma Roma Rona Neila Teal Mina Ann Tia Yael

First child on the way not sure of my daughter name so far I am in.love.with the name Journie,Ava,Mia

Hi!I'm pregnant what is the best name for my baby iether boy or girl I like to get the name of my husband and I for the name of my baby,my husband name is Norberto and I'm Marilyn.thank u...

Thanks for saying so. I like Lyla too. We named our identical twin girls Flora Elise and Lyla Roux, all family names that seem both classic and up to date to me. Flora & Lyla. Other than Flora meaning flower I don't know the meaning behind any of them though I'm told Lyla means "night or dark-haired beauty." Her mom is so she may be too. Anyway, feel free to use em - if you are nowhere near north GA. ha! ;)

Lyla is a pretty name short and sweet

"Mary" does NOT mean "wished-for child", it's from the Hebrew for "bitter" (Mara). Sorry to disappoint. Also, since when does Charity mean "faith hope and love"? Really, you need better fact-checkers on these. Also, I believe Kalilah, which is from the Aramaic, is wrong as well.

@ian - name her Angel.

my wife is pregnant and the baby girl is the first born to me,what do you think i should name my angel

Sharda, some pretty names are Charlotte,Violette,Marie,Diana,Camille,Megan,Rachel,Nicole,Elizabeth, Gabriella,Ariana,Brooklyn,Vanessa,Veronica,Lacie,Michelle,Laurie,Zoey, Jessica,Clara,Claire,Monica,Julie,Alice,Rose,Ivy,Scarlett,Lanie,Victoria.Those are just some names i like :)

I really think brianna is kinda nice name for a girl! . .its pretty cute and its nice to hear! . .love the name brianna

Whatever you name your child....BE SURE THEY WILL BE ABLE TO LEARN TO SPELL THEIR NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have known Mothers who could not spell the name they gave their child, so how do you expect the child to grow up and learn to spell their own name???? Just a thought...also it would be nice if it is something they won"t have a problem pronouncing...THE TEACHER WILL APPRECIATE IT!!!!!!!

I am pregnant and looking for a really nice name for my daughter who will be here soon. Any ideas?

My middle name is Darlene. I hate it!! I have dimples and growing up I was teased with "Dimple Darling". I hated it. I have one daughter named Terra and another named Fauna. I wanted to adopt a little girl and I was going to name her Cheynne Sierra. Good luck and have enjoy!

Hello world! my name is Tom! insanity workout http://60dayinsanity.webeden.co.uk

Found out I was having a girl last week but still can't think of a name. By husband is keen on Tabitha, Naveen and Faith. I am torn towards Isa and Elsa as they are both short and catchy.

I don't know the gender of the baby, so that's why I'm on a girl's names ... I'm stumped! but I wanted to share my boy's name :) I think it's easier to pick a boy's name, but girls seem to be harder, for EVERYTHING lol.

My fiance and I find out what were having on March 21 . We have already decided on a boys name which is very unquie, but were having a hard time agreeing on a girls name I need help nothings really standing out.

i am pregnant, i think i´ll name my daughter amber, i love this name and i know she will love it to when she grows up

I think to choose a good name, it helps if it sounds good.
