Are you a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
in reply to a message by Lu
Rupert Giles is/was a character on the show. There are several other names on the girls list that are names of cast members. :) I think the law varies from state to state on how many names a child can have, but I would guess that so long all the names fit on the birth certificate it's probably allowed. As to MY OPINION on whether you SHOULD name your child seven names, I personally would stop at four. But it obviously sounds like you already have decided on the number of names and you just want to know if we like the ones you've chosen. So again, MY OPINION is this: BOY:
Rupert- love the name, but perhaps not as the 1st of the 1st names.
Gabriel- I like the name okay.
Montgomery- reminds me of an old man
Cunibert- do you know what this name means? How do you say it?
Everett- I like the name alot.
Charles- do not like this name much.
Giles- I really love this name. GIRL:
Rosa- okay but not a favorite
Eliza- love this name
Julia- it's okay, but I'd go with Jules
Aurelia- love the meaning (golden), but how do you say it?
Tara- not a favorite, but it's pretty
Denise- don't like it muchSo I guess if I were going to name a BOY it would be
Everett Gabriel Rupert Giles.
I'd name a girl
Eliza Julia AureliaAre you having a child soon, or just thinking for in the future?

No, I'm not a fan of ''Buffy, the Vampire Slayer.'' I don't watch the show. I've seen it once, but I just didn't like it. It's just not my taste, not my idea for a good TV-show. But I take it that you do watch the show?
And I think it's purely coincidence if some of the names of my future son/daughter fit with the cast members. I didn't like the show, and I don't see me naming my kid after people that play in a show I don't like. :)No, I'll tell you where I got all these names from. :) Let's start with the boy's names. Rupert is just a name I came across someday, I can't remember how, but I have always loved this name ever since then. The same is meant for the names Montgomery, Charles and Everett. Gabriel, however, is my father's first name, and Cunibert is one of the first names of my great-grandfather (I dig into my family history a lot, btw). Cunibert is a German name and can be found in this database as Kunibert. I know how this name has to be pronounced (in the German way), but I have no idea how to write that down here. :) It's just something you need to hear. :)
Finally, Giles is actually from Gilles - I have just a little bit French blood streaming through my veins, and the last name of one of my ancestors was Gilles. I liked that name, but decided I liked it even better without the second 'l'. :)As for the girl's names, Rosa is the name of my great-grandmother, and Eliza is the name of my grandmother. Julia is a name I just happen to love, and Aurelia comes from Aurelius, which is a Latin name I've always loved. My great-great-greatgrandfather borne the name Aurelius. :)
Tara is a name I first heard of when watching ''Gone With The Wind'': the land of the O'Hara family was called Tara, and, well, somehow this name just stuck with me. ;) Further, Michelle and Denise are just names that appear quite often, and I just love them. Beautiful sound especially. :)So, as you can see, most of these names are actually family names. :)And yes, I've indeed decided on the number of names. :) I only hope 7 names are allowed by law, and ofcourse I was curious to hear everyone's opinion about the names I've chosen. I know of family and friends that they don't really like the all the names (especially Rupert is a name that they find snooty), so I was wondering what other people thought, like here on the board. :)
