re: *Name Aficionados*

I'm so sad DH told me a few days ago that he thought Theron, Keegan, Sebastian, and Calvin were okay and I have really been liking these. I guess he changed his mind... He is making a list and so far he has

Alec
Ares
Atlas
Cain
Caspian
Chryses
Cyneric.

I like Ares, Atlas, Cain, and Caspian.

I love love love Caspian.

I like Caspian too, and Atlas but not quite as much.

How does everyone feel about Rosemary? At first I could only think of weird movie references (Rosemary's Baby, Shallow Hal), but my DH is the one who suggested it, and his thought behind it was a connection to the plant/herb. It's one of our favorite cooking herbs (one my my favorite smells in general), and we have both been leaning towards something with a nature connection, but without being TOO hippy-dippy. This seems perfect, since it is a very old-fashioned name but also a plant.

I was considering it but torn between Rosemarie and Rosemary. I like...but I'm probably biased since its on my name list.

Love Atlas but think it is too similar to your son's name.

Dd1's middle name is Sunshine

I love Rosemary! It was on our list. It also has a special meaning for me, as my mother's name is Mary and my aunt, who is her best friend, is Roseanne. So it's their names together.
Would you use a nickname?
