So many names!

How do you choose?!

We have a list of names for a baby girl

Gwenivere
Ocea
Morgana (MORG-AH-NA)
Ruby

What do you like best?

How would you pronounce Ocea?

I don't mind the first choice, but the spelling looks rather odd to me. I think it's "Guinevere" tradtionally, which looks a lot better IMO.

I like Ruby too.

Not a fan of Morgana. I dunno why, but it makes me think of a haggard old witch. lol.

I love Ruby... its on our list...

But I think we're having a boy (we're not finding out), and we don't like any names - lol...

Ocea is pronounced like Ocean, but without the 'N'

I like Ocea, it is interesting in a nice way. I agree on the spelling of the first name, it looks strange. Ruby is my pick of the bunch though!!!

Like oh-sher?

I like Ruby. I know a baby and an adult with that name, and it suits them both.

**Lullaby** · 01-10-2009 19:20

Like Oh-sha

The spelling wasn't my choice

But I have managed to change his mind

a couple of those names are from a book i read a few years ago! they are all very nice, i like Gwenivere the best i think.. and gwenny is a cute NN too

i used to love the name Ariane too it kinda flows in with the other names you've mentioned
goodluck deciding!!

I like Ruby the best

I take it you're an Arthur mythology fan?? Me too!

For that reason I wouldn't use Morgana - she wasn't very nice. But I love Guinevere (which is how it is originally spelled). You could also have Gwendolyne, which isn't strictly from Arthurian legend but lovely nonetheless. It's Welsh. Although, much of the land around Wales has Arthurian connotations - there is an outcropping on a mountain in Wales named `Carn mark Arthur', which means `Arthur's seat' and there is a lot of Arthurian mythology set in Wales, as legend has it that his unknown son, Bran, was taken there by time travel by Guinevere before Arthur was vanquished.

I don't like Ocea much - it sounds like a bit of a mistake.

Ruby is our dog's name. But I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
