HELP! What do you think of these family names?

Question

OK...here is what I need. What names (girls and boys) can you come up using our parents names. I don't want to combine them just a variation of them. Their names are Nicholas, Carol, Kenneth (Ken), and Vicki. I love Nicholas as is, but not fond of the others and that is why I want variations of them so they will still be named after our parents.

I want to clear up something. I don't want to make up a name, just another variation of it. For example....Vicki to Victoria.

Also their middle names really suck! Eugene, Jean, Ray, and Darlene....surnames are Baldwin and Ramey.

Any ideas? I like Ramey as a name though.

I asked this once already but got rude and bad answers! Please help!

Thanks!

caroline/ carolyn/ carrie

kenny/ kennedy/ kent

victoria

Answer 5

I like Nicholas

There are lots and lots of variations of the other names, which you can find on sites like behindthename.com. I'll list some.

Carol comes from the latin name Carolinus, which was later translated into other languages and became Carol, Charles, Carl, Carlita, Carla, Charlamagne, Charlotte, Caroline Carolina, and any other variation you can think of.

Kenneth is an anglicized version of Coinneach, which is an Irish name. Variations are Cinead (Scottish), Kennet, Kenna, Kenzie, McKenzie, McKenna, although all of the ones with "Mc-" at the beginning, mean "SON of Kenneth" so I don't hink you should use those ones for a girl (I personally hate them because they're too trendy)

Vicki is short for Victoria, which is a feminization of Victor. Victoire is a French version of Victoria.

I really like Eugene. Gene for short is very nice, in my opinion. Ewan,  Eugenio, Eugenie, Eugenia, Gena, Owen, Yvain, are other variations.

Jean is French for John, and can also be used for a girl. When the Normans invaded England the name became Jane, Janet, Jan,  Jeanette, Joan. Jehanne is also a french form of it. (Jehanne d'Arc, or Joan of Arc)

Ray is short for Raymond. I don't like this name at all.

Darlene is also aweful

I really like Baldwin because it means "brave friend", and Ramey is kinda nice.

Answer 11

Carolyn is very sweet for a girl... Maybe Darlene can be Darla or Dalenna... i prefer Baldwin as an actual first name though... You could also try for Vicki- Victor, Vivy, and Victoria is a very beautiful name... if i went for traditional names for my children that would have been a top pick.

Answer 12

For Carol: Caroline (f), Carolina (f), Charlotte (f), Charles (m), Carolyn (f)

For Kenneth: Kennedy (m/f), Kendall (m/f), Kendra (f), Kenna (f),

For Vicki: Victoria (f), Vittoria (f), Victoire (f), Vica (f), Victory (f), Victor (m), Vittorio (m),

There are many variant forms of the name Carol. For a detailed list check out these websites: http://www.thinkbabynames.com/search.php...

http://www.babynamer.com/Carol

There are also many variant forms of the name Victoria. For a more detailed list check out this site: http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/...

Because the name Jean is a French variant of John, you could always use John and other variants. Variants of the name John include Evan, Johan, Ewan, Ivan, Jack, Giovanni, Sean, Eoin, Ian, Shane and Jenkin. Jane is the feminine form of John. Giovanna and Gianna are Italian forms of this name.

Personally, I like the combinations:

Nicholas Evan, Victor Kennedy, Gianna Caroline, Charles 'Charlie' Kenneth, Jack Nicholas, Carolina Victoire, Victoria Jane, Charlotte Kennedy, Giovanna Kendall...

Answer 13

Answer 14

Answer 15

Kenneth - Kendal, Kent, Kenton, McKenzie

Vicki - Victoria (poss. nickname Tori), Victory

Answer 17

Sorry if you consider this as a bad answer, just an idea, I know you said you don't want made up / combined names, but you could honor all of the parents if you have a girl and for her middle name use Rayleen, or with a boy use Raymond - combiniations of their last names.  

Answer 18

Kenneth, Kent, Kenny, Kenya, Kensly, Kensington.

Vicki, Victor, Vick, Vickinta, Vincent, Vicktory.

Darlene (which is my moms name), Delaine, Darla, Darlita, Darion.

Eugene, can't really think of any for this, I don't really like it.

Jean, Jeanette, Jenny, Jenson, Jeanie.

Ray, Raymond, Ramon, Rayson, Raya, Rayna, Raylynn, Raynick.

I like the name Ramey as well, I think it would work great as a middle name. This is all I can think of off the top of my head, I hope it helps.
