The Ultimate Baby Name Tag

1. What is your own name and do you like it? My name is Susanna Marie. I love my first name Susanna, it sounds beautiful, has tons of nickname options, and has a wonderful meaning, "Lily". I don't really like my middle name, Marie, it is extremely common, and it doesn't sound very nice. The meaning of Marie is debatable, but some of the possible meanings are not nice. 2. If you have children, what are their names and how did you come up with them? I don't have any children, so on to the next question. 3. If you have a baby boy right now what would you name him? I would probably name him Orion Zephyr, nickname Oz. I love this combo so much and the nickname Oz is so adorable.  4. If you had a baby girl right now what would you name her? I would probably name her Briley Rose. I have loved this name for a long time. I don't know why I love Briley so much, this name doesn't really resemble my usual name style. Roses are my favorite flowers and I ...

My Favorite Names

Girls: 1. Briley- I have loved this name for several years. Over the years, my top ten girls' names have changed a lot but Briley has always been number one. I think I love it because it is not common, but it sounds familiar, which is the perfect combination to me. 2. Lavender- I love this name because it sounds feminine without sounding too girly, it is not common and my favorite color is purple. My only hesitation with the name is that it is maybe a little too out there for me. 3. Jane- This name is simple and beautiful and has a wonderful meaning. My mom's name is Jan, so Jane is my way of honoring her. 4. Wren- I always picture a really kind, smart, quietly beautiful girl with this name. I have no idea why I love it. It is getting a little bit popular and I suspect it will get more popular, so I'm not sure I'll ever use it. 5. Freya- This is such a beautiful name and I love the look of it as well as the sound. It is pretty popular and it may get too popular for...
