HelpMoonbeam and Tangerine
Yeah, I know they're really out there but for the past few weeks they've been popping back into my mind and I'm really falling in love with them. Moonbeam for a girl, but I'm kind of liking Tangerine for a boy, although I suppose it would be nice for a girl as well. If I ever did use them it would probably be as middle names. WDYT?

Excellent names... for pets!

I wouldn't use them on people. But I stick with semi-conventional names, so this is JMHO.

I actually really like Moonbeam in the middle name spot for a girl, cute.
A couple of other guilty pleasures are Moonlight and Moonflower : )
I don't care for Tangerine though.

WDIT? No, no, no. I would really urge you to not name a human being Moonbean or Tangerine. I can only imagine the crap that kid would put up with, geesh!

Unfortunately, Moonbeam would be the name I'd pick as a nickname for a character who is spaced out on LSD all the time.
Tangerine is a fruit: Trivial concept, suggests (homo)sexuality, and has an ending that is normally feminine (-een). I'd be embarrassed for a guy named Tangerine.
Sorry to be so blunt - but I'm dead serious, and I'm actually not sure you are.

Tangerines
Tangerines got their name from the geographic adjective, tangerine, denoting someone from Tangier, Morocco. Residents of the city are still called Tangerines.

okay
That's good to know.
Though people like myself still don't know it - they'll just think of a fruit... their opinion is probably not of any consequence.

Cat Stevens sang this song called Moonshadow, and ever since I saw your post, I haven't been able to get it out of my head!
Eh, maybe on someone in the 70's, but not now. Of course, I shouldn't be one to say a name is really 'out there' after I posted about the combo Gilbert Resolved the other day... :-P

Moonbeam is a little much for me But I like Tangerine on a boy. Plus I'm sure tons of people on this board are saying that Constantine is a "boys" name (Which in this case I do have to agree) so I don't think it's fair to say Trangrine is a girls name just because of the -ine ending.

I think they are both nice. Yes they are "out there" but I like stuff like that. I would probably use Moonbeam for a girl, and Tangerine for a boy, but because they are word names, they could work for either. I would definately use them as middle names however, because, no matter how much I like a name, I wouldn't subject my child to that sort of torture!
I mean, can you imagine calling "Tangerine! Tangerine! Time for dinner!" I just can't see myself doing that! Moonbeam could work though...

I would never use this sort of name in real life but I admit to liking the sound of Tangerine though personally I see it as a feminine sounding word.
I think unusual names like this are far better as middle names.

Sorry but I don't like either(ok, Moonbeam is cute on paper, but not for a real child!). They 're great names for horses for horses but not for children. And if you really want Tangerine, it seems really unsuitable for a boy, since the -ine ending makes it seem feminine.

um.. that seemed uncalled for.

It was a joke

I have been thinking of Moonbeam also! [m]
I also am starting to like Moonbeam for a girl (more as a MN though). :)
Tangerine is cute, but more for a girl, IMO.

Moonbeam is nice, I also like Moonshine.

I like Moonshine too, but unfortunately it's slang for home-made alcohol :(

Oh, I didn't know that.
