ArchivesI need your opinion
I have come up with these names for a girl. Which one's do you like?
Patience
Katina
Oliviana
Regina
Hazel
Loretta
Lucinda
Isabella
Isabelle
Angelina
Also, is it normal for a girl to have two middle names or does it depend on the names? And, what female name can be used for the name Vincent?

My personal opinion is Isabella. The reason of my choice is it rolls off the tongue and sounds just orgasmic. Use this to it's advantage and saying your daughters name will be a pleasure! lol, anyway you wanted a veriation of Vincent? Vincentia pronounced Vi-cents-ia. Very sauve and Italian-o! lol again! Have fun!

Lessee V,
Nanaea has proclaimed Toby to be a dog's name; I said it's a parakeet's. At least one of us is right, so I wouldn't use it for a human child. Besides, it's a nickname, for Tobias.
Levi will remind most people of the jeans. It reminds me of the town drunk of that name (200+ arrests) where I used to live. In either case, I don't like it.
Elliot has no particular associations here but I've never liked it either (these are just sposed to be opinions, right?). Sounds like a friend of a Woody Allen character.
That leaves Brice and Dexter. Brice is okay, but if so, go with Cooper, not Brolin. Dexter I once would've thought dorky, but it brings to mind Dexter Holland of my favorite punk band The Offspring (which was on my car CD player as of yesterday).
Dexter goes better with Brolin, since the duplicated -er ending with Cooper is unpleasant. (Is Cooper a family name or are you into barrel-making?)
Your last name and how the whole mess rolls off the tongue must be the final determinant, but ceteris paribus, I think I'd vote for Dexter by a slight margin.
Note to Mike C: You cite an English term for "dyer" as one origin of the male name Dexter. I always thought the -ster occupational names indicated female practitioners (Webster f.=Weaver m., Brewster f.=Brewer m., spinster f.=aging gay guy m.). Am I wrong?

It's the name game
Well, my cousin hates the name Dexter, with a passion, so I doubt if the child is a boy he will be named that. So, her husband said "Why not Cooper Brolin?", then she said "Brolin Cooper." I thought to myself "Only seven more months of this!" (I know I should be compassionate, but.....) So, which should it be Cooper Brolin or Brolin Cooper, if at all? (If push comes to shove, I'll suggest Michael, Jr.)

Mike C. must've been quoting Hanks & Hodges
"Note to Mike C: You cite an English term for "dyer" as one origin of the male name Dexter. I always thought the -ster occupational names indicated female practitioners (Webster f.=Weaver m., Brewster f.=Brewer m., spinster f.=aging gay guy m.). Am I wrong?"
No, you're not wrong, Daividh. I'm pretty sure Mike C. must've used Hanks & Hodges for that English origin of "Dexter", as Mike C. recommends their reference work here on his website. (And a marvellous tome it is, too. You really need to consider adding that to your personal library, with your interest in name origins. It's pricey, but worth it.)
In the book, the complete entry for "Dyer" reads:
"Variations: Dyster, Dexter (originally these were feminine forms, but from an early period they are used also of men)."
Personally, I prefer the Latin Dexter's Evil Twin, "Sinister". ;)

Hi!
I like Katiana, Lucinda, Isabella and Angelina.
I think giving a child two mns is ok as long as they sound good together!
Good luck!

No problem with any of these except Hazel (still carries the old-lady stigma of Mildred-Gertrude-Ruby-Viola and that ilk) and Oliviana (too many syllables!). Patience is a nice 17th-centuryish name that's quite unusual today (and potentially less ironic than Chastity).
Had a discussion re the "Oliviana" point with one of my staff at work. She was pregnant them (since had her baby) and wanted to name it Alexandria. I mentioned mucho syllables and suggested she consider Alexandra. "No", she said, "it's gotta be AlexandrIa because that's the town where my husband and I met".
"Good thing you didn't meet in Hicksville", I said, upholding my rep for a lack of tact.

"Vincenza" (pronounced in Italian: veen-CHEN-zah) is a pretty feminine form of "Vincent".
I gather these are name suggestions for your cousin whom you mentioned earlier? If you'll give me the following information, I'll see if I can come up with something special.
1. Name of baby's mother and name of baby's father.
2. Name or names of people whom baby's parents most admire.
