Anberlin Olivia Blaire

[LoolaBear]

i love Olivia Blaire but im not too keen on Anberlin but like others have said thats the english in me and the whole history of king henry VIII and the whole chopping of Anne Boelyns head! xx

I agree. It's pretty but there's so much negative association.

How about Amberlynn/Amberlin/Amber-Lynn or Amberleigh? Very similar but different enough to escape the Anne Boleyn i think xx

I wish my husband would let me give the kids two middle names!!!!

Anberlin made me think of Anne Boleyn too - but that doesn't turn me off of it. I think it's very unique & that's alright by me! I think the whole name is lovely.

I know WAY too many Amber's, including my mother's next door neighbour and my friend just had an Amber a few months ago. Besides, I'm not keen on Amber or Amber Lynn. There are too many of those. I like my kids having unique, not popular names, that have a great meaning to me.

Well i live in the US -- i have never heard of the band Anberlin or poor Queen Ann Boleyn! Lol. I have also never heard of anyone being named Anberlin?

So, i have mixed feelings about it!

On one hand.... i like that it is unique, music related (if that's your thing), and special to you. Plus you love the name -- so that's a huge plus!

But on the other hand.... if it's a popular band it may be "too much" having the exact same name?? iykwim? And by the time little Anberlin is a teenager -- the band may be out of style & very uncool to her & her friends!

For instance, my mom loved Elvis -- what if back in 1979 she had thought -- everyone loves Elvis, he is so cool, talented, attractive -- Elvis would make a unique name for a little girl?? I would hate if my name was Elvis!!!! Am i making any sense?? Ha.......

Just a few things you should think about.......

The name is nice, tho! Has a nice ring to it! (But i think i would use it as a middle name, personally)

Random suggestion: I once heard of someone using the name "Lyric" for their baby?? That could go with your music theme??

If going with a music theme could go with maybe Allegra or Aria as an alternative...? Just some ideas

No offence but I don't like Anberlin it reminds me of Queen Anne Boleyn who was executed. Another nice middle name is Saffiyah.

Thats exactly what it reminds me of too! Anne Boleyn! I've never heard of the name Anberlin before though. Glad its not just me who thinks it.

Personally I love it. And I love the band! If you like it I think you should go for it

Have you listened to the new album yet? It came out today. It's streaming on their Myspace. I've been listening to it for 5 days straight now and can't get enough.
