My son was born in January. I did not choose his name until after he was born. I named him Jacob Williamclp). I don't know why. I like it because it is proper and plain. My sisters and brothers and I all have made-up names and I wanted to be a little different. I also named my sister Asireya and my brother Zaireon (I didn't choose the spelling for his name which is pronounced Za-ron). My son's father wanted me to name my son after his which is NOT an option. We want a little girl eventually. I might go with something more original for her. I do tend to like unisex names for girls. Some names I like are...
Kadence, Camden, Kaminari, Kennsington, Kennedy, Chanel, Natalia, Giovanna, Jersey, Kailan, Kiell, Arden,Siobhan and Haven among others. Chances are though, her father will insist upon naming her.
If I have another or more sons, I may continue with Biblical names. I may go with Matthew or Benjamin. I also like the names Jackson, Cohen, heck I don't know. Boys are hard to name!

By the way, for the entire first half of my pregnancy I was going to name my son Keouris Kyree. I made it up and I love the way it rolls off my tongue but I was afraid it wasn't boyish enough. Maybe I'll name my daughter that! I took alot of flack for the name and people saying it was "ghetto" and he'd have a hard time with it. His father tried to convince me to name him Jihad or Wilding (like "wilding out" pronounced "Wylan"). Ooof that man.

adam means first born
If it's a girl let the wife name her and I'll agree if I like it or not
destiny hope julia

I sense much fear in you.

Fear leads to anger.
Anger leads to hate.
Hate leads to suffering.-yoda

i know there are some nice african names that dont have any arabic/asian feel to em. i know when i have kids me and my hubby will argue over names. jamaicans dont like zeppheniah or zachariah because of a story about a dumplin that stuck in the boys head as he was too craven
i have a friend called funke which i thinks is nice also bolanle not sure of the meanings though i do believ they are yoruba names

I've always been fascinated withancient Greek names. Of course my first son with be named after his father.
I think Anaktoria would be a lovely girl's name.
