Naming theoretical children...
I'm in a better mood... a nice bubble bath cures a lot of ills.
I've managed to theoretically name my theoretical child if it's a boy but a girl name is proving difficult.
If I have a boy he'll be named Geoffrey Francis (after my deceased father in law Jeff (sort of, I don't like Jeffery as a name) and the fact that both Ian and I had grandfather's named Francis). Easy naming doesn't take long both Ian and I like it. Done.
If Ian and I conceive a child like we're considering doing in the next two years, and it's a boy we're already prepared with a nice name.
It's with girl names that we run into problems... I want to name our child after family that has gone before us. But we can't seem to get a name we like.
My great grandmother was named Rose (and it's one of two reasons I have Rose for a middle name).
My grandmother on my father's side was named Eileen Rose and she's one of the few people in my childhood who I knew loved me unconditionally.
My husband's grandmother on his father's side was named Judith Ann... his other grandma is still alive.
A woman who was a mother figure to me and my best friend's mother was named Penelope Marie...
So many names and nothing that we both agree on.
Penelope is out. I like Anne as a first name but Ian thinks it's middle name only material. Ian likes Marie as a first name but I only like it as a middle name.
Eileen Anne Marie or Judith Marie Rose were names I thought of but Ian's only response was hmm...
So if we do end up having children I had better pray that it's a boy or the little girl might end up with names drawn from a hat.
Fandom thought: Ever get a fanfiction idea for a pairing you don't like?

no subject
I think I already have my favourite girl names (Amelia, Emily or a variation of them), but that doesn't mean that I'd have an immediate agreement there! I'd be left wide open with boy names though. Then again, I'm not going the route of family names which does limit the choices quite a bit.
The Rose and Marie made me think of a rl friend called "Rosmarie" (the lack of e is correct), but I know that she's not entirely happy with the name either (something about the movie Rosemary's Baby being brough up occasionally I think...)
As for the pairings you don't like... I've had a couple of Harry/Ginny ideas taking place post DH. However, they mostly feature a vibe of sticking together for the sake of it while knowing that they really don't love each other like that.
