Arnbjorn. Or Rannveig.

...it's possible I'm biased. I wonder how they're doing.

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

...are those even words?!?!

My boyfriend thinks he is funny.

Fortunatly, he is much of the time. Those are people that he spent time with in Asgard.

Sikudhani!

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

...no.

*g* Henry is a fine name, no matter what Forge may say about it.

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

thank you. it is a very good name if you are a boy.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

I have no problem with the name, doctor. I just don't particularly care for it being used to refer to me.

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

it is a good name, Hahkota, it means "ruler of the home."

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

I've always liked Amelia or Katrina, personally.

How about Joseph or Jeremy for a boy? And anything but Elizabeth for a girl. There're already too many Elizabeths around, and most of them are in my family.

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

for you, no Elizabeths.

You have absconded with my fellow girly-girl genius and now you taunt me with the Disney-ness of it all. Darn you.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

You can come next time! All you geek girls need to get out more.

Sakura is a very popular and beautiful girl's name. It means "cherry blossom." Akemi ("bright and beautiful"), Minako ("beautiful child"), and Kohaku ("amber child") are also good girl names.

For boys, the best is Akira ("intelligence"). Other good ones are Katsuro ("victorious child"), Sho ("brilliant"), and Yoshi ("good luck").

Although given your ethnicity, none of these are suitable. But you asked for suggestions.

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

actually, those are kinda neat. I don't know if I'll use them, but I do like them (but I read "katsuro" as "vicious child" on accident)

Since you offered me food, I can at least offer you names. :)

Girls: Cora, Christie, Makada, Sekhmet, Jana, Beatrice, Lillian, Adora, Esmeralda
Boys: Jasper, Akhenaton, Benedict, Darien, Lindsey, Havelock, Samuel, Malcolm

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

what're "makada, sekhmet, akhenaton" from?

....havelock?

[x-courier.livejournal.com]

Ooops. Misspelled. It´s Makeda with an e.

They´re names of old Egyptian royalty. I have an archeologist friend who keeps babbling about them. For some reason the names stuck.

Havelock´s from the Discworld by Terry Pratchett. Havelock Vetinari, patrician of Anhk-Morpork. With a name like that, you kid has to grow up to be something great.

Since everyone else is playing:

Isaac, Albert, Leonardo, Nikola, Enrico, Niels, Gregor, Wilbur, Orville, Alexander: all work for boys. Long history of brilliance associated there. I'd add "John Henry" to the list, but that would convey a little too much arrogance, no?

And if the youngest Moonstar is a she: Marie, Jane, Sonya, Rosalyn, and Margaret all have the same historic connotations.

you're smart, I'm smarter

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

these are all names of scientists. but you forgot Donatello, Michaelangelo and Raphael.

Re: you're smart, I'm smarter

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

They were artists primarily, although quite important ones.
