For Your Consideration: Possible Names for Ron & Kathleen's Baby Girl

Now for the moment that you all (OK, maybe just Ron) have been waiting for. Drum roll. Here are the top 11 names that you and Kathleen should consider for your baby girl.

1. Bethanie
A great suggestion by Stephanie because this name is a mixture of both Elizabeth and Stephanie. I love where your head is at on this one!

2. Anna Nicole
You could pay homage to a recently deceased celebrity. However, if you name your daughter Anna Nicole you run a slight risk that your daughter will be predisposed to making many bad decisions. And possibly dropping a lot of acid.

3. Adaira
This is a Scottish name (Greek in origin) which means beauty. Aww...

4. Mirabelle
This is a French name (Latin origin) which means incredible beauty.

5. Jedi
This would be a great name if you want to name your child the Hebrew word for "Friend of God" or "Beloved by God" while also paying homage to the Star Wars trilogy. There is a good chance that if you name her Jedi she will never have any friends so be prepared for her to live at home until she is about 45 years old.

6. Isabella
Spanish for Elizabeth. I had to make another plug for the name Elizabeth even if it is in another language.

7. Lauren
A lovely name and also a high end clothing line.

8. Hailey
The great thing about this name is that none of the "young Hollywood" party crowd has sullied it yet like they have the names Paris, Lindsey, and Britney.

9. Emily
This was the most popular name for baby girls born in the U.S. in 2005. This name is SO last season.

10. Klementina
This name means merciful in Russian. Hopefully your daughter will be merciful and forgive you for bestowing upon her a name that sounds an awful lot like those delicious seedless oranges.

11. Odelina
Odelina is German for "Wealthy"? It's good to be optimistic about a child's future!

So, what do you think? Any winners here?

Inventive and interesting names, all. However, even at the risk of being just a little too cute, we probably are going to continue on with our precedent of consonantal alliteration and go with Vivian. (Etymology: Latin, Meaning: Lively)
We definately don't want one that's on to one of those stupid top ten lists. BTW - Speaking of names, WTF does pufatufniks mean?

If you go back and read our very first post you will find that Pufatufniks is a name derived from several bottles of wine and it means "crack whore". We are not crack whores, of course, but we are people who sometimes make up our own words for no reason which is why we decided to use the very first word we made up together as the name of our blog. Yeah, we know its dumb.

May as well prepare the kid for celebrity and pick your own combo-name! (Brangelina, Bennifer, etc.) I'd go with Rathleen or Kon myself. But you could Roth or Kathlon too.

Here are some of my ideas:

Pokolin (I think I already mentioned) - a beautiful combination of our last names.

Naygue - another beautiful combination of our married last names.

Leenon - doesn't mean anything, but sounds kind of alien.
