For a girl I love Scout, fun loving baja adventure girl, I need to think about the boy's name.

Laurie...
You must have been watching a recent re-run of "To Kill a Mockingbird."

p.s. I had to rush fast to post this before Skipjack Joe!

My suggestion for the baby's name:

Ole if a boy.
Lena if a girl.

Hmmm...I guess we need to think about how Mexicans will pronounce the name. For example, Zac is always called something that sounds like Esac, and my name (Zoe) sounds like Esoe.

Names need to be just the right fit for the little person, and not be something that other kids can easily make fun of, or that sound weird with the last name. Ronald David Bondy, for instance, could become Rondy Bondy.

Gotta' think about those things.

Humberto or Gertrudis work for me :spingrin:

Now there is something to consider, will the baby have bath of the last names or one? Nowdays anything goes, so they may choose to hyphenate both together. Yikes yet another decision for Sirena to make. Whoever said a name is easy to choose???

BajaBlanca - 5-25-2010 at 07:16 PM

gonna be hard to top a beautiful name like Sirena

SiReNiTa - 5-25-2010 at 07:43 PM

aaw thanks Blanca that's sweet!

And the baby will have both last names, although we still need to decide if the last name on the mothers behalf will be Bondy or Arce...you might understand why I am thinking twice about the Bondy one...I had and still have lots of trouble from my peer group with that name hehe!!

I'm thinking (baby name) Arce Robledo....that has a nice ring to it =P
Mom won't be too happy tho!

noproblemo2 - 5-25-2010 at 07:51 PM

Yes, moms can be hard to please sometimes, but it is now your turn to be the mom, so, what goes around comes around... Whatever decisions you make will be what you feel will be best for your new baby.... Kind of like a huge giant step into adulthood, but you will be great!!! After all look at all the support and advice you'll be getting around here!!!! LOL

zforbes - 5-25-2010 at 08:06 PM

Yup...I like Arce Robledo, it rolls right off the tongue!

Hook - 5-25-2010 at 08:29 PM

For a girl, I like Marisla. The lips relinquish a smooth exhale that emanates from deep in the throat; the tongue recedes, slithers forward and flicks like a snake, and then does an elevator drop. Smoothness and complexity in only three syllables.

In English, we would call this a compound noun; a collaboration of mar and isla; sea and island.

In Spanish, it is beautiful to the ear...........

Paula - 5-25-2010 at 09:03 PM

Olivia is a perfect bilingual name for a girl, as is Paula (;~) ), or maybe even Linda or Marisa, or of course Maria. Nice to have this quality with the baby's background and possible future places of residence. Of course she could end up in China or India-- so much for that practicality :biggrin:

There are many for girls, and there must be some for boys too, though they are escaping me right now.

Sallysouth - 5-25-2010 at 09:38 PM

I like Olivia.It is soft on the tongue and we all know Linda is beautiful.My Baja G-girls are named Rachel(Raquel) and Alexa.I like Hooks suggestion of Marisla very much also.Combining the Sea and island.

Ragnar if it's a he.
Gudrun if it's a she.

Iflyfish - 5-26-2010 at 08:37 AM

Aside from Ricardo e Diana I like Baby and Kid. Like "oh baby, you are so cute, what a beautiful baby, what's your name kid? come here kid, would you go grab your uncle a nice cold Tecate".

Juan and Shari come to mind as names, just sayin.

How about Asuncion? Asuncion Arce from Asuncion.

Glad I could help.

You will choose a great name.

For a girl I actually like Linda, a double entendre, in English and Spanish.

Iflyfish

Heather - 5-26-2010 at 08:50 AM

In going with the Linda theme...my little girl is "Marlinda". I think the Mar and Linda sound really good together, but she is the only Marlinda that I've ever come across.

Her sister is Serena, who is anything but serene!! Thought about the Sirena with her, but went with the "e" instead of the "i".

Marlinda would have been "Marlin" if she were a boy...since daddy is a fisherman!

My MX hubby wanted to go with "Einstein" for a boy, first time around...maybe cause I'm a science teacher??? Try saying that one in Spanish!

I'm sure you'll come up with a beautiful or strong name for the little one. Congrats! H.

...or the Lone Ranger :?:

SiReNiTa - 5-26-2010 at 09:43 AM

Wow some great suggestions!
I really like Marisla, and mom absolutely LOVES Marlin.
One of the names that Adrian liked for a girl is Layla, which I like very much also.
As for boys names which I'm having tons of trouble with I very much like Caleb, but then in spanish it would sound like Quelabarse..."To wash" hehe...I can just hear the taunts!!
So we've pretty much crossed off that one :lol:

Heather - 5-26-2010 at 10:41 AM

Have a friend in Cabo with a little Caleb...hear he's a terror...maybe every one is always telling him "te banas"!

My sister was going to use "Lucas" for a boy, but she like me had only girls; Brisa (who's daddy worked on a sailboat), and Maya (for the Oaxacan family).

Doesn't your boyfriend want you to use his name?

My husband, Antonio Adolfo, has Antonio Adolfo for his first son, the second is Ricardo Rafael after both of his grandfathers.

SiReNiTa - 5-26-2010 at 01:04 PM

Nope, Adrian doesn't want to have two people with the same name. He's not much in to the whole traditional thing

We also like drake...means dragon and is the only name that all three of us (Adrian, mom and myself) agree on, which is kind of annoying!

We would like to keep it short and simple, something that isn't easy to have nasty nicknames for, something easy to say in both languages and something that is not completely ordinary but not too far out there either.

Growing up being different, especially in a small town like this, is hard, and it's even harder if aside from looking different and having weird parents, you have a name that's weird in your peers eyes as well. I love my name but back in school there were lots of jokes made at my expense and I didn't appreciate it very much...

bajafam - 5-26-2010 at 01:15 PM

Tristan would have been Lola if he had been a boy

Erin would have been Viggo had she been a boy. I also like Bernadina, and the kids' middle names: Alicia and Xavier. The right name will come to you

Drake is a good one, unusual, but simple and strong!

Heather - 5-27-2010 at 01:26 PM

I like Drake, too...how would that sound in Spanish? dra que?

Timo1 - 5-27-2010 at 01:46 PM

I'm with Adrian on this one...Layla....absolutely

Excuse me...I resemble THAT remark!!!!

I never thought choosing a name would be soooo difficult! I didnt go through that because the moment Sirena was conceived, her papa said "ahorra tenemos una sirenita" and the name stuck!!! and boy am I glad he came up with it so I didnt have to go through the whole choosing thing.

My suggestion was Kai..which means ocean...simple and beautiful...oh well...Drake is OK.

noproblemo2 - 5-27-2010 at 02:52 PM

So far Marisla is my favorite.. Such a serene peaceful name. Drake, well kinda reminds me of a duck..

Heather - 5-27-2010 at 02:54 PM

I like Kai...thought of Kaya for one of my girlies (old Bob Marley song), but went with the Serena.

I don't know if my daughter has a lot of indigenous girls in her 4th grade class, but the names sure make me think of the Mayans/ Aztecs... there is an: Elisua, Mexline, Nashua, Siclalie (not sure of spelling, but these are phonetic). I've never heard any of these before, and I've come across a lot of names in my 20 years of teaching! This is in San Diego, but all the girls are from Mexican families. Maybe a new trend? H.

SiReNiTa - 5-28-2010 at 07:23 AM

Kai just doesn't stick with me...for a girl maybe but for a boy? eeeeh no ty.

And mamma I never said if it was good weird or bad weird. As I grew up I learned that being different and a little weird is good sometimes, and it's because you are who you are that I am the person that I am today.

And Drake in spanish would be something like Dreik?

I told Adrian that if it was a boy and if he laughed or smiled when he was born we would hall him Isaac (the laughing one), which I also like but he's still deciding on that one hehe!

shari - 5-28-2010 at 07:35 AM

whew...OK...good weird is not too bad I guess!!!
this is fun...thanks for all your suggestions...

I really LOVE Isaac...the laughing one....but if a newborn "smiles", it's probably gas...wonder if there is a name for one with gas?? yeah, Drake...duck...hmmm

I'm all for Marisla...is sounds so lovely...rolls off the lengua and is soooo Asuncion...our life revolves around the sea and island... but Layla is OK but I dont like the hard "A" sound EH!!! although is does have a canuck ring to it. :spingrin:

Iflyfish - 5-28-2010 at 08:00 AM

Layla:

SiReNiTa - 5-29-2010 at 12:07 PM

Wow! I love the guitar in the song!! Gave me shivers when it started! Great song!

@mom: You made me choke on my oatmeal cookie when you said that when a newborn smiles it's gas! Lol...

As for marisla I like it too, but I'm honestly feeling that the bundle inside the belly isn't going to be a girl (boohoo), which is why we're stressing over boy names so much!
But I've been wrong before and I could be wrong again...I guess we'll see in the next few days!

And you are right about the drake and duck...hmmm well there goes that one hehe...

If it is a girl, Adrian is pretty set on Layla, which turns out means Dark beauty, or dark haired beauty, so if she comes out with Adrians dark hair I guess it's fitting!!

[Edited on 5-29-2010 by SiReNiTa]

Nan&D - 5-29-2010 at 12:34 PM

Whatever name you come up will be beautiful.
Personally I will be calling the baby Honey button sugar sunshine pie, and I will learn that in Spanish too!

zforbes - 5-29-2010 at 07:51 PM

I'll go with chicklet and peanut...but somehow, pollito and cacajuate don't have the same ring.

Weighing in on the newest Baja Nomad

My Daughters triplets boys names are Will, Wyatt and West.They are little cowboys born six years ago. how do you like these names?

shari - 5-30-2010 at 07:48 AM

Oh my goodness....we are having such a hard time coming up with ONE boy's name...sure hope there arent twins in there...but by the look of the big bump....gulp!!

the hard part is finding a name that can be easily pronounced in spanish...I love West but would translate..oeste...hmmm...

SiReNiTa - 5-30-2010 at 11:57 AM

Ugh this is super hard!!
I like the triplets names but somehow I can't see myself naming the baby anything with W...it's kind of hard to pronounce in spanish...
But who knows, I'm sure the right name will come at the right time!

noproblemo2 - 5-30-2010 at 12:03 PM

The good thing is you still have plenty of time to decide which name will be best for your little one. Can't wait to find out the sex myself, that will make things far easier for you by eliminating half of the options... :lol:

SiReNiTa - 5-31-2010 at 07:14 AM

I sure am hoping that we get to know this week!!

It should make it easier...unless there are two in there! oh boy...no no no one is plenty!

eetdrt88 - 6-1-2010 at 11:56 AM

my girls are Brieanna and Aria...Brie after the cheese of course :spingrin:

and Aria after a guitar i once had and upon doing some research found out that it means a solo in the opera :yes:
