I really haven't thought about boy's names that much, although if I have sons, I would like one of them to be named after their father.
But, I have thought about girls names:
Linnea
Ayla
Naomi
Linnea (pronounced LIN-NAY-AH) is the name of one of the closest female friends I have ever had (who happens to have a beautiful and unusual name), and I would like to honor her by naming one of my daughters after her. It is of Scandinavian origin, and its meaning is "lime or linden tree." It is also the name of a small pink mountain flower that was named after the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus, inventor of the universally recognized system of classifying plants and animals. So, the name would also reflect my interests in science and nature.
Ayla (pronounced with a long "A") is the name of my favorite fictional female character out of the series of books by Jean Auel (the Earth's Children series). I love the sound of this name, as well as the strong woman the name represents. Ayla, the fictional character, shows intelligence, leadership, and the ability to innovate, and is a worthy namesake.
Naomi is another female name which I have always had great fondness for (I like the delicate sound). Naomi is also the name of my first "BFF" I had in elementary school, so I have another personal reason to choose that name. It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "pleasant." It is also a Biblical name, although that is not the reason for me choosing it. Mostly I enjoy the sound, and its connotations of femininity and beauty.
