You can also make a feminine form of any male name that you like or look for cognates from a different language. If you really want something different you can create a name. Most names are simply already existing words (verbs, nouns, adjectives, etc.) that have been shaped to make a proper noun. The possibilities are endless. Anyway, good luck; have fun with the hunt.Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10137150635746247864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612254.post-2076156880622225762008-10-31T10:13:00.000-07:002008-10-31T10:13:00.000-07:00I was just thinking about name trends the other da...I was just thinking about name trends the other day. It is funny how a name becomes so popular, when five years ago you had never heard of it before (Kai and Caelan both seem to be extremely popular these days! Nothing wrong with going with a top 10 name.). I remember one nurse in the hospital being so disappointed we had an Ashlyn, because she thought she had made the name up for her daughter. Picking ours were a bit easier because we wanted them all to have Gaelic names like my own, so it narrowed the search down a little bit. I have 2 favorite names that are not Gaelic and so we didn't use....Lauren and Amaya. Good luck!
