Posted: 1/3/09 at 1:04amI have every intention of naming my son Gavin, but I've always liked the name even before I had ever heard of Gavin Creel (or Lee).

I was named after a Shakespeare character, so it would only be fitting to keep the names theatre related :)
So with that, my top baby name is:
Mother's Younger Brother
No, really, I've always liked the names Toby and Hunter. Or Louise for a girl.

I've always liked the names Brooklyn and Sutton(before I even heard of the show or the actress)
I have a dog named after a Canadian ice dancer: Shae-Lynn
Don't believe everything that you hear! Only the peeps involved know the truth!

Cheyenne Jackson [insert last name here]
And I actually know someone whose name is LeaMichele. I always found that funny.. although, she still, to this day doesn't know why.

Well, my children better all be girls, because they are being named Bernadette (Peters) Kristin (Chenoweth) and Madeline (Kahn).
I used to want to name my girls Maria (so a guy can serenade with that song some day) and Joanna (same thing) but I don't like those names enough to go through with it.

My month old son is named Oliver, simply because it is my husband's favorite name.
Our cat (who was my cat before I got married) is also named Oliver because of the book/musical. Oliver (the cat) was a stray and I thought it was a good name for a stray/orphan.

Posted: 1/3/09 at 11:49amYeah, I know what you mean. Johanna is a beautiful name, but I wouldn't really want to have her go through life with having creepy people making 'I feel you' jokes all the time.

Posted: 1/3/09 at 8:28pmI also like Sophia (Mamma Mia), Roxie(Chicago), and Liza.

Well, I wouldn't give my child a name that is specifically from a show (like Elphaba), but I might give it a name from something that is already a show. The problem is that I intend on adopting, and the kid might already have a name. I want to adopt from either China, Russia, Mexico, Thailand, or Brazil.
Names I'd consider (from shows)
Boys
Raoul
Mark
Girls
Mimi
Rose
Elle
I probably won't be naming mine after a character in a show, though, but I might have a girl named Idina! Ooh, that'd be cool.

Posted: 1/3/09 at 9:50pmI... am so confused. I've read MTF3's post like forty-seven times, but I still can't find anything there that suggests that he's a girl...

He said, "I might have..."
It was a joke.

Posted: 1/3/09 at 9:54pmAha! This is why I've always failed at reading comprehension tests. I thought there was some kind of coded confession to a sex change if you read, like, the second letter of every sixth word or something.

Haha. It's the whole, "you can read something and the person who posted it meant something different than how you interpreted it" thing. I'm naturally sarcastic/joking around, but when people can't hear me, I piss them off or confuse them.
I don't have very good people skills.

I'd actually have to say Gavin... Yeah, I love Gavin Lee, but it's an awesome name.
I'd also consider calling my first born Shrek. Not. Maybe. No.

Skb, I think that's what causes 90% of all of the big tiffs on BWW-- people making sarcastic comments that get misinterpreted when they're typed instead of said out loud, and people getting all defensive about it.
You know, if you named your kid 'Gavin,' then 'Lee' would actually be a lovely middle name as well... it's like George Washington Carver or Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald.

Posted: 1/3/09 at 10:02pmelphabelle07, you said your children will be mocked, but what's wrong with any of the names you picked? Bernadette in particular is a beautiful name.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Basically, but it depends on my future husbands last name (kind of)
On an unrelated note, Ms. Christine Ebersole just came on my Sirius. "Another Winter In a Summer Town."

So what's the verdict on Gershwin? I'm insecure and require validation of my choice!

Posted: 1/3/09 at 10:32pmI may stick with it. I think it's kind of fun!
