You Like Names That Are Classic and Timeless

You prefer quality names that have stood the test of time. You don't like anything that's trendy today and outdated next year. Names are important to you, and naming someone should not be an social experiment. You are the type most likely to name someone after a family member. Some female names you might like: Andrea, Elizabeth, Hannah, Julia, Marie, Nicole, and Victoria Some male names you might like: Aaron, Benjamin, Christopher, Jonathan, Matthew, Thomas, and Zachary

What Kind of Names Do You Like?

Classic and timeless does tend to be my preference for pretty much everything. Interesting for someone with such a flagrantly hippie name. ... Okay, I suppose it could be worse and I could be Moonbeam or something. But I was named after mountains and mountains are timeless... or am I stretching?

"Names are important to you, and naming someone should not be a social experiment" - I have to admit I was really anal when choosing Morgan's name. Kids at school will make fun of other kids no matter what, but I figure it isn't necessary to give them extra ammunition, know what I mean? Still, her initials ended up being MAN, so there may yet be some flak about that. But the other option was Dierdre Morgan, which would have made her DMN. It's funny because I had never really thought twice about the name Morgan before, but while I was pregnant with her it was the only name that stuck around. Makes me wonder if the possible names for future children will likewise be tossed out the window when the time comes.

For the record (and because apparently I'm in a rambly mood right now), those are: Aileen... (doesn't have a middle name yet. Alan's idea and a family name but one I'm not really sold on), Kathryn Emma (Kathryn after my Granny and Emma just sounds pretty with it), Thomas Stuart (our fathers), and David. I've always loved the name David. I think it might not ever get used, though. It has the feeling of something that might have been but has... slipped away, or was lost, or something.
