Baby names...your opinion?

Question

I'm only 3 months pregnant so I don't know what I'm having yet, but I wanted to know what people thought about the following baby names.

Boy-Corinthian Jaleel "CJ"
Girl-Raven---need help w/ a middle name

Answer 1

Something to keep in mind when naming your child.

Don't give your kid a name that will get their *** kicked.

Just because it sounds cool now, in 20 years It will be dated and lame and chances are your kid will hate you for it.

Answer 2

Both names are a bit odd to me.

But I think Corinthian Jaleel can work if you stick with CJ. Its a strong name. But that isn't always a helpful thing. Think later in life if he wants to be something important.. he can't go by CJ. And then he has Corinthian to fall back on?

I don't like Raven. Its a bit too gothic. As well as pornstar like. Sure it is unique, to a point, Raven Simone on Disney channel. But I don't think it is pretty. I think ugly black bird.

Answer 3

Jaleel is OK, but I keep thinking about Jaleel White a.k.a. Steve Urkel from "Family Matters."

Corinthian sounds like the Bible Book Corinthians. I'm not too fond of it for a name. But how about naming your son Corey.

Raven is a cute name. How about Raven Jameeya. Or maybe Raven Malina, Raven Sarai, Raven Aliah, Raven Maria, Raven Denise, or Raven Alana.

Answer 4

WoW...i agree with the majority...Corinthian is not such a good name to give your kid. He could be in for a lot of teasing and possibly playground shoving. It is a great biblical name but not so cool on a kid. However, Jaleel is super! if you wanna keep the nickname at "CJ" why not try a old fashion name like Christopher to balance out the name... Some how Christopher Jaleel sounds "strong" in my books. But hey, it's your choice...

I do think that Raven is a cool name. Here's a lil story for you: my very "bestest friend in the world" s name is Raven Black!!! As in Black is her middle name. We used to laugh over it but now she thinks that it's the coolest. Our other best friend's name is Jade Black, LoL!! However Black is Jade's last name. Her middle name is Alyshar...

Whatever you choose to name your kid, just try saying it out loud with maybe you parents or even best buds. If they don't quite get it, chances are your kid's peers won't either.

I'll sign off with my story of my name: my parents gave me the name Stephanie because it coincides with the occasion that i was born on, (January 6th - Epiphany of Christ's birth. Get it, Epiphany - Stephanie). I however detested that name. It seemed like everybody had that name. But now it's the coolest cos it's so solid!!!

Answer 5

When I see the name Jaleel I think of the kid that played Steve Urkel on Family Matters...

But Raven has potential!!!

Answer 6

Raven Blue

Answer 7

Raven Skye, Raven Fae, Raven Mei (my), Raven Elise..

check out some babynames sites and just play around with it..

I'm not so sure about Corinthian tho. Makes me think of 'corinthian leather'

Answer 8

Corinthian Jaleel is not so cute...
try a nicer name like Michael Anthony, Brandon Dean, Autsin James (A.J)
Raven is cute..Raven Patrice...Katie Alice..Ariana Louise...
let us know what you ended up with!!

Answer 9

I dont like them, in school they do roll call and the teacher will call out Corinthian Jaleel and he will be made fun of for life

Answer 10

Corinthian Jaleel would more than likely hate you for naming him that. Sorry.

Answer 11

Wow, Corinthian is very nice!! Raven Bree, Raven Savannah, Raven Elise, Raven Sharona, Raven Marie, Raven Gwendolyn, Raven Eileen...
