I'm sorry, I know you've been around here for a month or so, but I never said welcome, so welcome to the boards.
I'm Seda...Sedalyn or Eden actually, but call me Seda.
Do you like the boards?
Do you mind telling me a little about yourself? Are you here because you're looking to name a child or because you are a namenerd or both? :)

Welcome!
You'll probably get more people to notice you if you make a separate post, though. And you may want to "announce" yourself on both the Opinions and the Lounge boards, as there are some people who spend most of their time on one board and not another. Anyway...
My name is Korrine. I'm also 27 and live w/my DH, John in NY. We have 2 children, Victoria Kathleen (3 1/2), nns Tori, Toria and Tori Kate and Noah Michael (2), nn Bruiser, NoNo & Nonah. I hope you enjoy your time spent here; I know I do (and I spend waaay too much time here as it is, even though you'll probably not see me around too much). Merry Christmas!

Hi Seda,
Nice to "meet" you, and thanks for the welcome. I love the boards. I think I'm addicted.
So here's a little about me: I'm a 32 year old high school teacher. I have a seven year old son named Baylor Gregory, and I'm trying to conceive baby #2 (right now Dawson Nicholas for a boy and Élan ??? for a girl). I've been divorced, and have just married the most awesome man on the planet. I'm a conservative Christian, and I have ALWAYS been a name nerd. My mother has told me that my baby dolls when I was little had first and middle names!
I love thinking about names, helping family and friends come up with names for their kids, etc... I'm so disgusted when someone tells me, "Oh so-and-so had their baby, but I don't know what they named it." I also abhor super common names. My opinion is that there are about a ka-zillion original and beautiful names to choose from, so there is no point in giving your child a name they have to share with 1/3 of the population! Whew! Enough ranting and raving, so I'll shut up now.
I just give my opinions of names and try to avoid getting into an online argument with anyone.
So Seda, nice to meet you again, and thanks for the welcome.
Tell me a little about yourself?

Wow..nice to meet you, Gretchen-dear!
You sound quite perfect for this place, and yes, it is addicting. It should come with a warning label.
I'm 31 and a conservative Christian as well. :)
I'm married to the other best nman on the planet. :P
His name is James and we have five children named Promise Merryn(7), Keraden Skylaye(6), Escapade Skyleise(6), Treasure Esteem(4), and Harmony Lyla(13mo.) Obviously, my style is word names. :)
I have been a name nerd for some time, but I don't think my dolls had middle names..hehe. I started liking named more around secondary school when I started writing stories and scripts. I had to name my characters and when looking for appropriate names I picked up on the name Cheya..from there on, I feel in love. haha!
I own an amateur theatre and I'm a playwright(well, I try my best..hehe). I love music, drama, The Lord of the Rings, Greek mythology, and Kelly Clarkson music. :)
What do you teach in high school? Where do you live? (I live in SC, btw.)

Wow, your children's names are unique! I don't remember what your opinion of Élan was, but since it is a word meaning enthusiastic vigor and liveliness; distinctive style or flair, you must love it.
I actually went to summer camp YEARS ago with a girl named Treasure. I also had Marin Ruth as a possible girl name before DH vetoed the idea.
So, what's it like to have five children? I have one and I'm tired. Are you planning to have more? I think I'd like to have three more. I've heard that it's easiest when you keep the number of children you have even. I guess you need one more to fit that theory.
I teach sophomore English, and I live in Louisiana.
"Talk" to you later,
Gretchen
P.S. I like your sig picture.

I'm not sure I replied to Élan, but I do like it.
Marin sounds like a nice mix to keep Ciarda (another great board member) and I happy. Ciarda loves Ruth and I love Marin. :)
I'm going to never know personally about that statistic. I don't plan to have anymore unless God plans otherwise. I guess I won't protest then, but Treasure and Harmony weren't even planned so...
We adopted Keren and Essie and I thought that would be all. I always wanted three children, not three biogolical and two not..hehe. I guess I should have specified myself when praying all those years ago..hehe. Five children always keeps it interesting, but at least their close in age. I see families with children of all ages and panic. One in college and one in a carseat! Imagine!
Where you highly affected by Katrina and Rita?
Ah, an English teacher! I loved English in school. You would have been my favourite..hehe. :)
