Answer 2

Good Lord!!! What on Earth is anyone thinking? With the exception of "Gertrude" (the name of a family member I never met because she died of diptheria in - like - 1915) none of the names you gave are names. At least "Hollister" would make someone think there's some significance to the name, such as it may be a family name of some sort.

The words you gave as possible names are more like the names someone would give a pet. Why would anyone want to give their little girl any name that would make her feel as if she got a pet's name?

When I had my daughter and gave her a classic name that is elegant, particularly when added with her pretty middle name, some minister associated with the hospital came in and said "What a beautiful name. Its elegant. These days so few little girls are given elegant names."

I wanted my daughter to have a pretty, elegant, and classic name that would serve her well, whether she was five years old and in kindergarten or sixty years old and the head of a company.

People should respect their children enough to give them names that won't get them made fun of and that won't embarrass them when they're sixty years old. Adults shouldn't use the opportunity to give a name to another human being as a way to show how "cool" and "unique" they are.

Get a book of baby names and select a pretty one or a classic (or classy one). Otherwise, the baby is better off with Hollister (and she could be called "Holly").

Answer 3

Personally I'd just go with a pretty name that was more normal, but from your list I'd have to go with Melody, Aquamarine, or Georgia Rain. Dont let her keep the kid's name as Hollister does she know thats a super-popular store and that would totally confuse everyone? Like, hi im hollister?!?

Answer 4

And with these interesting hippie names she named it HOLLISTER?? The weird smelling prep outlet? Whoa........craziness.

All right. Remember your middle and high school experience (but mainly middle school; JH=mature enough to understand rude jokes but not mature enough to understand feelings). Would you want to be named some weird name in that enviroment?

Other than that, go with what you think is best. I personally like the Ryver and River, Blue, Feather, freedom, Gertrude, Oasis, Aquamarine, Liberty and Topaz. Possibly Sapphire. But try and stay away from the double first name, except Ember Rose is pretty, but It can be hard to write on a paper.

Answer 5

WOW! I hope your kidding with some of those. Ryver could be cute but she would have to have high self-esteem to pull off some of the other ones. When choosing a name always remember it may be cute for a baby but imagine the name in a professional world. I couldn't see a Doctor, Lawyer or even a President named Pumpkin or Honey. (Stripper maybe!)

Answer 6

Sorry, I'd say after a perusal of that list - no changes are allowed at this time. A mother's first instinct is most always correct when naming her baby so change should be a very very rare and extreme situation. Maybe she has post partum depression if she is considering change and needs expert counseling. She should never change a baby's name because anyone else does not like it.

Answer 7

I like Carmel, Dew, Ryver, Ember Rose and ilia Raye best, they are unique names and have a nice sound to them. I think you should deffinately pick one of those :)

Answer 8

I'm a hardcore hippie straight out of the gathering and I STILL think this is the worst list of names I've ever heard! Opal's not bad, but Hollister's probably the best out of all of these.
We have a guy in my state who's a big corporate spokesperson and whose always being quoted in the newspaper. He's a real straight, intellectual working man who wears a suit, but his mom was the crunchy midwife who delivered me! What's she name him? Yellow Light. Yep. Terrible.

Answer 9

yeah, hollister azul is not such a hot idea.

melony is the only normal name on there which is quite pretty. i'm sorry but the rest of the names MADE to have the kid made fun of.

more suggestions:

Ruby
Heidi
Evelyn (nickname: evie)
Evie (pronounced eve-ee)
Maanika (pronounced Monica) meaning ruby (my own name)
Lucy or Lucille, meaning bringer of light
Lacey or Lacy
Estrella (pronounced estraya)
Ava
Lola
Scarlet
Brooke
Victoria
Desiree
Charlotte
Renee
Anya
Anika (pronounced Uneeka or An-i-ca)
Berlin

and its best not to name your children something from the top 50 list because then people at school will end up calling them Emma B. or Jacob F. (not that they are bad names. they are quite nice in fact)


congrats! let me know what you name her!

Answer 10

You can steal my name. It's Marja (Mar yah). It's Swedish for Sadness of the Sea. Out of the ones listen I would choose Ryver, Ember, or Georgia. Please keep in mind children can be cruel when you're choosing the name.
