now, what is your opinion on the name Gwenivere?
3:31amDominique
I love it. A lot.
3:31amJonathan
how come?
3:32amDominique
It's just so pretty. I like long, little used names. And gwen is such a cute nickname. My second favorite girls name is elizabeth
3:33amJonathan
I actually despise Elizabeth. but that's intruiging. cool to know
3:33amDominique
yeah well I already have 2 family members named elizabeth, so it's kinda out as a kid
's name for me. HBU>
*?
(i fail at typing tonight)
3:34amJonathan
gotta specify the question
3:34amDominique
favorite names?
3:35amJonathan
I'm naming my first daughter Danielle
3:35amDominique
that's pretty. What about boys?
3:39amJonathan
if I have a second daughter, Gwenivere. but different spelling. Guinevere, like King Arthur's wife. my first born boy will be Urgent Robert Schmeling. If a second boy, probably Olek.
3:39amDominique
poor boys.
3:43amJonathan
ohh, nonsense. Olek is a rather common Jewish name. the only unconventional one is Urgent. And I think that's a pretty damn cool name
3:44amDominique
He's going to get teased. Even if it does sound awesome (which it does btw) So why do the girls get boring names then?
3:44amJonathan
Please, he'll get teased either way. Schmeling got me plenty when I was younger. And a little pain always helps a person.
and while Danielle borders on "plain", Guinevere certainly does not
3:45amDominique
aww. I'm going to have to spoil your kids so much.
3:45amJonathan
and I dunno. largely because I was more interested in girls names than boys names. So I had Danielle picked out as far back as I can remember
why is that?
besides, that's the beauty of Danielle
3:46amDominique
to make up for all of the 'pain' they're going to go through. And because I can
3:46amJonathan
it's this incredibly subtle beauty and elegance to it. It hides itself, pretending to be un-noteworthy
3:47amDominique
wow, you really like that name huh?
3:47amJonathan
oh yeah. all of the names are picked really specifically. well. other than Olek. and partially Guinevere, but only partially
3:48amDominique
haha
3:48amJonathan
Urgent reminds me of Vincint (I probably spelled that wrong)
but instead of the hard sounding V, it was the sibling of the letter, U
3:48amDominique
that's true, that never would have occured to me
3:49amJonathan
plus it denotes Urgency, this sense of importance that doesn't press upon others
it's not like anxious or pressing - it doesn't burden itself on you
it's importance and relevance is by its very definition. and that's reflective of the child (in theory)
3:50amDominique
That's sweet.
you've won me overI'm now a fan of Urgent.
3:51amJonathan
plus I don't think anyone else has done it and random words are hardly used as names, if ever. So unique points just shot through the roof

Interesting conversation, haha.
@niikhita - heh, gotta keep things lively. Break the mold, you know? Plus me and a friend of mine already swore we'd name at least one of our kids an unconventional name. So I'm kinda bound to these
@thirst2 - Ooh, the kid might end up hating you for it.
@niikhita - heh, I like to think they'll appreciate it when they get older. I did put thought into it, not just randomly thought "well, this one would sound weird..."
@thirst2 - Haha, yeah probably.
