Names I Like

Boys

1. Noah
2. Adrian
3. Gregory
4. Micah
5. Darren
6. Paul

I'd like my first two boys to be named

Noah Adrian Wang
(peaceful [possibly long-lived, comforter, or wanderer], from Hadria [wow, boring...])
or
Noah Gregory Wang
peaceful [/long-lived/comforter/wanderer], watchful/vigilant

and

Micah Darren Wang.
(who resembles God, great)
or
 Micah Gregory/Adrian Wang depending on what I don't use for the first boy

maybe a third would be
Darren Paul Wang  (whoa, really similar to Dillon's name)
(great, small)


Girls

1. Madison (son of the mighty warrior)
2. Desideria  (much desired [Kevin tells me that kids with abnormal names will do worse in school, and are less successful at life... so maybe not as a first name at least.  =(  ])
3. Adrian...?  (from Hadria)
4. Lydia...?  (from Lydia [*yawn*])

Madison Desideria Wang?

that might be too many syllables...

can't really find girl names I really like... maybe that's because some of the boy names I can see myself having, or are names that I'd love to be called, but for girls... hm.  Not really partial to anything.

I wish I could be a Noah or a Micah.  Gregory/Darren are too similar to people I know or know of, but they could work well as middle names (hence my first two boy names).  I don't really see myself being an Adrian though, but I saw that name recently and was like, Hm, I like that.

On Friendships Between Men and Women

http://soulation.org/jonalynblog/2012/08/harry-and-sally-are-wrong-friendship-men-and-women.html

I like this post more so than the last one about opposite-sex friendships, but I think the last one certainly has its place.  This one seems more practical, though (and she quotes from Sirach!! =D so how can I not repost that?).

Also, reading about her egalitarian views is pretty cool.  Good food for thought.
