Baby Names For A Baby Boy

Cartoon from here
The Sex of our bub is still NOT confirmed. 50/50 chance yeah?! ROFL! I liked the cartoon tho!

Im just going with what the main majority of people are thinking it is including hubby & the old poll.

Heres the one ive liked for a few weeks:

Atlas
\a-tlas, at-las\ is of Greek origin, and its meaning is "to carry". Atlas was a mythical Titan who bore the weight of the world on his shoulders, so the name bears connotations of great strength.
*I am ignoring the fact of the name used in the game Bioshock*

and a few days:

Magnus \mag-nus\ is pronounced MAG-ness. It is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "great". A royal name in Norway and Denmark; also a saint's name. The name was introduced from Scandinavia to Scotland.

Hubby insisting on:

Leo \leo\ is pronounced LEE-oh. It is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "lion".

Leonard \le(o)-na-rd\ is pronounced LEN-ard. It is of Old German origin, and its meaning is "lion strength".

Interesting and may grow on me (from video games):
Auron \a(u)-ron\ is a variant of Aaron. Aaron is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "mountain of strength" (i like it pronounced OR-ren.)

Altair \a-ltair, al-tair\ is pronounced al-TARE. It is of Arabic origin, and its meaning is "bird". Also possibly of Latin origin. The name of the brighteststar in the constellation Aquila.

Vincent \v(i)-nce-nt, vin-cent is pronounced VIN-sent. It is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "prevailing". From Vincentius. The name ultimately derives from the Latin verb "vincere", meaning "to conquer".

Cid \cid\ is of Spanish and Arabic origin, and its meaning is "lord". El Cid was a heroic Spanish knight of the 11th century whose story is told in numerous medieval epics.

Cloud

(he would be the guy u first see in the clip)
well i searched, clouds name meaning.. ROFL.. and didnt get far as u can imagine. All i found was that the japanese name Jun means cloud. I still have not finished Final Fantasy VII released in 1997 and im praying my old ps1 save thats 7yrs old hasnt been corrupted in that time.. (im not far off finshing it ) Amazing how a few more pixels can make someone much more sexier.. altho with the storyline of the game it didnt need to be amazing. I have heard that it is being re-done?!

Link is a short form of Lincoln which means Lake colony. Link is the hero from All the Zelda games 1st released in 1987. Recent titles are Zelda, The legend of Zelda: the twilight princess on the wii and Zelda: The phantom hourglass on DS. (which hubby plays)

....
Combos i like are: Leo Magnus Atlas. Atlas leonard Cloud, leonard auron vincent. leo Atlas link

Tia our girl was going to be named Theophania Isabella Anstacia by her crazy parents... however many people were concerned that it might take her much longer to be able to write her name, lol.. I had a email pen-pal in finland when i was in my teens her name was Tia, and i remember how much i luved her name.. thinking it was exotic.... ROFL! So it was decided almost 5 years ago now (come may) that we named her Tia Theophania ;)
With the above combos i doubt we would call our possible son LAM, ALC, LAL or LAV.. lol

I like the orange/yellow text colours!

Thank you for sharing all of that.. it was interesting to know the meanings behind the names and which names are of interest to you and James... even "order of preference".

Tia *does* have an exotic name.. especially when coupled with her middle name. I'd never heard of Theophania until tonight!

Know how I got the name Jenna? I was on a Year 11 ski trip @Mt Buller. We stayed at the nearby 'Alzburg Inn' in Mansfield and had TV's in our bunkbed, motel-style rooms. I was watching 'Dallas' one evening after dinner and Priscilla Presley's character was called "Jenna". I'd never heard of the name before and I liked it instantly. This was 1985, 10 years before Jenna was born. It just so happens Jenna's father (whose first initial is 'J') - also really wanted a child with the initial 'J'). Had Jenna been a boy, she would have been "Jett" or "Jay". Anyway, Jenna is 'Jenna Rose' after my late Mum who was 'Rose'.

You didn't say how 'Cid' was pronounced..but I'm assuming it's 'Sid'?

Hey. Happy easter to yah! I am getting back on the wagon - weighing in on April 1st - no matter what the weight is. Looking forward to keeping an eye on you too! So excited that you have started thinking about baby names - I think that I have a list a mile long - and I don't even know if I will ever have a family! Really happy for you!
