So I had an interesting conversation in the car with my mom today. I asked her, hypothetically of course, what she would like to name a baby if she were to have one last child. And her answers were quite interesting...

For a girl, she likes:
Cansis (prn. like Kansas. apparently this was going to be Colleen's name orginally)
Corinne (prn. ker-RIN)
Raya (not sure how she would like it spelt. prn. RAY-uh)

For a boy, she likes:
Kenneth nn Kenny
Keith
Keelan (not sure how she would spell this one either. apparently this was going to be Kevin's name)

Corinne is the only one I like. Kenny is kind of cute, and Kenneth does go with the rest of our names. (at least the best out of any of her other choices!) Raya and Keith are doable. Keelan has a certain charm but I prefer Kian. And Cansis might be one of the cruelest names I've ever heard. I'm glad Colleen didn't get stuck with it!

So what do you think of my darling mother's choices? :)

Girl
Cansis- oh my... I'm glad your sister got Colleen too! I met a baby girl named Kanvas one time.. she was adorable, but her name is horrible! D:
Corinne- like Karen? I always spelled Corinne like core-een lol. Dont care for it much
Raya- Raya is kinda cute, I wouldnt use it but I can picture a cute little girl with it

Boy
Kenneth nn Kenny- I know a Kenny... Kenneths a nice name, even with the bias against it :) It fits well lol
Keith- Okay
Keelan- odd, lol

LOL, now I gotta call my mom and ask her what she'd do! ;D

Rosie. I LOVE your mum. :L

This is just awesome. :')


RIGHT.


Cansis - Well.. umm.. errr.. :( It's not THAT bad! Haha. I have nothing more to say on the name. :)
Corinne - I love this one. :) I prn it Core-inn.
Raya - This is quite cute. I quite like it! It's kind of sweet and innocent sounding.


Kenneth nn Kenny - I like this one. :) Though I can't imagine using it. :)
Keith - It's cute! Though a bit old sounding to me. But I can picture it on a wittle kiddie.
Keelan - I'm on the fence. I like it, but there's something I don't like about it... -confused child-


:) <3

I don't really like them either.

It's kinda funny though ... I know triplet boys named Kevin, Kenneth, and Keith! lol
