Mistress Stash Enhancer

I've always loved the name Eva Claire. Or Noel Claire. I'm just a big fan of the name Claire. But not as a first name. Chloe is a first name I like, but can't come up with a middle name. Zoe? Zeta? Zanzibar? Do any of these work? LOL This is the working mind of a single girl with no plans for children. Sorry.

I've always liked the name Julia, and also Julianna. If you are looking for a D name, may I suggest Dana? It's the name of one of my very favorite friends!

oooh, how fun. Me, I'm going with Zipporah - Mose's wife. Cool name, IMHO.

OK, here are the names that I loved but my husband rejected for Beatrix:

Zora
Aurelia
Eugenia
Tallulah
Eulalie
Desdemona
Esmerelda (Esme)

OK, so I have more unusual taste in names!!! Good luck and I hope you settle on something before the birth. Beatrix didn't get named until she was 3 days old and that was pretty stressful. :-)

Oh fun!

I like Nina, who was my aunt,
Adela, who was my great aunt,
and also,
June & Zoe, and Diana is pretty too!

Posted by: Julia | 12/01/2006

I cheated and looked a little online. Here are a couple I like.

Zaida (or Zayda) meaning Lucky
Zaneta (or Zanita) meaning God's Gift

Desiree (or Desarae) or meaning The One Desired
Destiny meaning Good Fortune

Holy Cow, there are a lot of names out there - from boring to downright outrageous!

Posted by: Julie | 12/01/2006

Adelaide (not a D or Z, but I looooove this name)
Devany (I knew a little girl with this name-- very sweet)
Delaney (another baby I know!)
Odessa (again, D as second sound)
Zoe
Zahra

I lovelovelove thinking of baby names-- if I think of more, I'll let you know!

Posted by: carole | 12/01/2006

Well you KNOW I have to suggest Zarah! But that's a little conceited, so here's some other ideas...

Deanna
Dawn
Donna
Deena

Posted by: Zarah | 12/01/2006

Zara (England's Princess Anne's daughter's name)
I think I mentioned this one at sock class.

Delia
Dena
Danielle (Dani for short)
Danae

Miklayla (derivative of Mike's name)

So many beautiful names to pick from.

Posted by: Deb | 12/01/2006

Name I like

Delaney
Mackenzie
Taylor
Alexandra
Darcey

Most of these are names of my friends children - except Alexandra and Darcey I just like those.

Posted by: Jody | 12/01/2006

I do love the name Zoe...

Also love the name Dorothy (kinda old school, but I think it has a certain charm to it.)

Posted by: Kara | 12/01/2006

Daisy! (that's my name at rainbow guides - which I believe is co-incidentally known as Daisy Girl Scouts in the US...)

Posted by: sarah | 12/01/2006

Zoe is a great name. I also like Daria and Imogene.

Posted by: Jess | 12/01/2006

I am loving this one.

Elizabeth Marie (my former roommate)

i can't believe no one has mentioned DENISE ! and i like ZOEY too :)

Posted by: gray la gran | 12/02/2006

D names - Dana, Dianne, Delilah, and Z names - Zoe. My daughter is named Isabelle Rose, but I really like Charlotte, Chloe, Mia, Grace, and Kate. Our neighbours daughters are named Makenzie and Rory if that is any help at all.

Posted by: Sue | 12/02/2006

Of course Denise is a great name but that's not what I wanted to suggest.

Aulia
Belve
Maude

Are the names that were runner up when I had my daughter.

Posted by: Denise | 12/02/2006

Hi, I just found your blog and I'm very excited because:
1. You knit
2. You are pregnant

I'm due in May :)

Anyway, names for girls that DH and I like so far are:

Thea
Terese
Rose
Charlotte (nickname charlie)
Elsa
Eva
Ava
Evelyn (Evie)
Eloise
Fiona

My niece is also named Madelein which I think is lovely :)

Good luck picking a name! We're finding out if its a girl or boy on the 18th, I know the whole name picking thing is going to be tough, though we're both leaning towards Thea Rose

Posted by: Meg | 12/02/2006

Alias Smith & jones

Posted by: Dad | 12/02/2006

Oooh, I love your sweater. Oooh, I love your sweet baby belly, I want one. K, Gonna have to put some thought into the names...I'll be back later. Hope you are all doing well out there. Any snow yet? We haven't had a single flake. I'm moving to Chicago, or Alaska, or Maine, or Canada anywhere but South-Central PA!

Posted by: Tracey | 12/02/2006

Now if you want to stick with the c b a ...then, how about Zara. Trouble is without knowing your sirname,............ and I bet all my suggestions will be rather English..............when I first read your blog...Sophie came to mind. Whatever name you chose.....best wishes and I'm sure she will be beautiful.

Posted by: Anne | 12/03/2006

Daena
Daisy
(Trina)ory not d or z
Zaira

Posted by: yoshielf | 12/03/2006

I like old fashioned names like Sophie and Phoebe. My sister is Dorothy so that's always a good one. Z name? hmm...Zoe, Zara...Zahava...judging by that belly, I better get a cracking on a wee pink something!

Posted by: Suzanne | 12/03/2006

One of my favorite names is Hannah, and I really like Zoe, too!
And what about Dixie? A little strange, but nobody has suggested it yet!

Posted by: Melissa | 12/03/2006

How about:
Zoe
Zia
Denise
Danille
Caroline (my duaghter's name)
Laura (just a name I've always loved!)
?

Posted by: Frances | 12/03/2006

I really like Daria. If I think of any more I'll post. I'm going to suggest this name to my son for his new baby daughter (due in April).

Posted by: rositta | 12/03/2006

For some reason, the name Michelle keeps going through my head. I also like Danielle, for a D-version of that name! Good luck picking!

Posted by: Cynthia | 12/03/2006

apparently, everyone loves zoe.

may i suggest zenith or zinnia?

Posted by: badrabbyt | 12/04/2006

Hmmm... baby names...

Dorothy (or Dorothee, if you prefer this way of spelling), meaning gift of God
Emily
Zoe

Posted by: Dorothee | 12/04/2006

Zoe
Danya

Are two faves of mine

Posted by: Witchypoo | 12/04/2006

Wheee! A baby naming contest! What fun. OK, for the z's I'm going to say Zelda, because I don't think anyone's said it yet and she was F. Scott Fitzgerald's wife. Or there's also Zoila.

Now for the D's, I'm going to throw out some Spanish names, just to mix it up:

Dolores
Dora
Delfina
Daniela
Dayanara
Dalia
Dulce

Good luck deciding!

Posted by: Olga | 12/04/2006

Gabrielle, Gwendolyn, Baily

Good luck!

Saw another "Z" name on television last evening ... Zorianna.

So glad to hear your father is doing much better ... take care of your mum too, it can be rough being the caretaker.

Posted by: Deb | 12/05/2006

My choice: Dinah.
A bit old fashioned, but cute.

Sorry to hear about your dad. I'm a bit behind on my blog reading..............He will be in my prayers. Grumpy is a good sign, I think!

I had a really hard time picking out girl names for my daughter. I didn't have one that felt "right" until the last minute... it seems much harder with girls to me.

I almost named my daughter Deirdre/Deirdra- or Daphne. (Or Phoebe. She ended up Bridget Muriel... and I sometimes wish now I'd spelled it Brigid.)

Zofia (variant of Sophia, which means "wisdom") This is my favorite "Z" name. It is one of my favorite girl names...

Zena (variant spelling of Greek Xenia, which means "hospitable")
Zandra (nickname for Alexandra, which is "defender of mankind")
Zhanna (variant of Jeanne, which is "God is gracious... or grace...")
Zabel (Armenian variant of Isabel)
Zhenia (variant of Eugenia...)
Zosia, Zoja, Zoia, Zoya- all variants of Zoe, which is so pretty.


I hope you have a wonderful holiday season.

Happy St. Nicholas day!

Ok those are my picks. Funny you are doing this, I got my daughters name the same way, I used to be a radio DJ in Pittsburgh and I set up a website & asked listeners to give me naming ideas, somone gave me the name Sabreena, and someone else gave me Sloane, I like both so we put themi n a hat & let our 2 year old son pick it out, he picked Sabrina(i changed their spelling), and now I have Sabrina Dawn(daen after my mom's first name)

Posted by: Keana | 12/09/2006

My friend's daughter is named Devon, and another friend of mine has a daughter named Sage Lilah. I really liked those names but if I had a girl, I planned to name her McKenna. My husband vetoed that one so my next choice was California...but we had a boy :)

Posted by: Juls | 12/10/2006

Wow. I think you may have every name in the book up there. I'll just suggest my personal favorites: Megen (pronounced meg-en), Eliot (yes, for a girl), and Emily. Have fun!

Posted by: disentangled | 12/11/2006

I'm a little late to the game, but under the wire I think.

My sister-in-law is named Daniella Suzanne. I think it's a beautiful name.

My favourite Z name is Zadie. I also like the name Dora, but with that cartoon, well, you know.
