    Jasper.

    Even though I am a girl, I really like the name Jasper. I think it would be totally cool to be named Jasper, whether a person was male or female. It means ‘Jewel’ in Hebrew, or ‘Keeper of Treasure’ in the English version. ‘Jasperstone’ if its French.

    Jasper is one of my favorite characters in the series. He’s not always the front runner, and some people overlook his character. To me, he’s quite the important guy even though he’s not always in the scene. He’s strong — i mean, he hangs out with humans all the time and can resist! — and intelligent, and, when it comes down to it, adorable.

    Plus, Jasper just sounds neat, and its not common at all unless you’re a cat or something like that. I think more people should name their kids Jasper. I would!

    I just have to say this, because I think it’s absolutely hilarious. Aro’s name in latin means “I cultivate” or “I plow” as in a garden or farm. Lol.

    If I had to choose, I would say Didyme. I think that name is absolutely beautiful. I doubt anyone would want to be my friend with such an odd name, however, and “Diddy” is not a great nickname 0_o

    Love the podcast!

    Rosalie is definately my favorite name in the whole series. It just sounds so strong and beautiful, two things which Rosalie definitly is. Edward is my second favorite. I think that the name kind of makes the character. Like we probably wouldn’t be as in love with Edward if his name were Bob or Jack. The name starts the attraction. Rosalie and Edward are elegant names, it makes them sound sophisticated and they match their personalities. Generally people who are named Edward are classy and gallant, they might come from good backgrounds. That is Edward. It’s the same with Rosalie, you can hear their name and just guess at their personality.

  4. Val.M NY says:

    Ok so if I had to pick a name it would have to be Leah Reneesme. (First and middle name because thats what i have) Leah because she is a strong independent young lady (And thats what i like to think of myself as) and Reneesme because one its a beautiful name and very unique, one of a kind. (Which is what my mom calls me all the time but I think thats only because she thinks I’m weird) LOVE YA MOM!! lol and also its a combo of two women whom remind me of my mother. (René) A divorced parent who is strong and found love again and (Esme) who is a mother of very different children in there own way personalty wise but then the same because they are all a family.

    Love you guys and the Podcast, always look forward to hear you girls

  5. Mrs. Everarianas Edward Cullen says:

    I would change my name to:

    1. Alice – it’s really old-fashioned, and nobody really has that name my age today.

    2. Renesmee – I’ve always liked that name ever since Renesmee was born. It’s definitely unique, and I aboslutely LOVE the nickname Nessie.

    3. Rosalie – it’s a really beautiful name.

    4. Jasper – I know it’s a guy name, but it would be a really cool name for a girl. I have a friend named Charlie, and she’s a girl and I think it’s very cute. Plus, I love Jasper in the books.

    5. Bella – I just really like that name, it’s very beautiful.

    6. Esme – Again, it’s not common, and it’s beautiful.
    Twilight character name meanings:

    EDWARD: The name has an English orgin. I think that the meaning can describe Edward because he is wealthy, and he is Bella’s guardian.

    ISABELLA, BELLA: Isabella and Bella are both Italian orgins. Isabella means God Is My Oath, but I think that the meaning of Bella goes more with Bella’s character, since it means Beautiful, and she doesn’t really express that much religion in the books.

    JACOB: The orgin is Hebrew. The meaning is Supplanter and it means one who wrongfully holds a place of another. The only comparison I can find in Jacob’s character is that he is trying to become Bella’s lover, when really it’s Edward’s place. Even though I am Team Edward, I wouldn’t think of Jacob that way, because I do love him, and he is trying to get the one he really loves. Plus, if it weren’t for Jacob, who knows what Bella would’ve done when she needed someone to lean on when Edward left.

    CARLISLE: The orgin is Scottish. Meaning is the City of Lugovalos. I have no clue what that is and how that relates the Casrlisle lol.

    ESME: Orgin is French. The name means loved. I think the realtion is that Esme is loved, and she loves others passionately.

    ALICE: The orgin is English. It means of a noble kin. I think that Alice is a very noble person (who doesn’t?) and that name fits hyer perfectly.

    JASPER: The orgin is English. The meaning is Treasurer. I think that this relates to Jasper because I think that he is a treasurer because when he left Maria, he was looking for something that would fufill his life, like a treasure. Then he came across Alice, and it’s like she was shining like a beautiful treasure, and Jasper had found what he was look for.

    ROSALIE: The orgin is French. The meaning is rose, and Rosalie is the most beautiful, like the rose is considered to be one of the omst beautiful flowers.

    EMMETT: The name’s orgin is English. And it means “Entire.” I think that Emmett is like this meaning because he is entire, like huge and powerful lol. He has the whole package, he is powerful, but sweet. Huge, but like a teddy bear. Plus, he is all in one piece, meaning he is intact.

    RENESMEE: They actually had a page for this name, which I found was cute. It even said that the name was created for the Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer :). Of course, it says that the name orgin is American, and it means Reborn and Loved. I think it’s obvious how this meaning goes with Nessie’s character; she wasn’t reborn, but she was loved by most people who came across her.

  6. Kaylie says:

    i would probably change my name to bella… haha just because i love her and i love that name… my second choice would definitely be alice though and if i was a boy OBVIOUSLY edward. i really love that name but i would be PISSED if ppl called me ed… that sounds like a hill billy or something haha but if i ever have a boy im definitely naming him edward… it sounds old fashioned to me i think and i love and and the comment about me does a great job explaining all the meanings! yay love this question and lovveedd the podcast obviously =]

  7. Erica says:

    I would change my name to Isabella just because I have loved it ever since I heard it in Beauty and the Beast. The name Isabella has different meanings but they all relate to God. It means devoted to God in Hebrew. In italian it means consecrated to god. Lastly, in spanish it means God is Plenty or bountiful.

  8. Samie says:

    Actually, i love the name Bella, but i would kinda change it around a little, and go by Ella, Origin:Greek
    Meaning: Torch; bright light.

  9. Andy says:

    Would I change my name to one of the characters…? I don’t think so. I like my name – BUT, I think I would have one of the names as a middle name. No idea which, because I like Emmett, Jasper and Jacob’s name. There’s something about them which I really like. No idea which though…

    Why not Edward, I hear you cry? Several reasons – first: Edward is describled as the most beautiful man in the world and I am… well, not. So, I would be shame on the name. And second, it would be weird being an Edward and living on King Edwards Road, wouldn’t it?

  10. Kiana :D says:

    I would have to pick Gianna because it’s just so sophisticated and elegant and sexy <– am I alowd to say that???
    Gianna is Italian and means “god is gracious”. But I would also love Alice just because she is my favourite character. Alice is Old German and means “noble exalted”.

  11. Tahlia says:

    Sasha or Vasilii because they are Russian names and I really like them…
    They were part of the Denali Coven…

  12. strawberry says:

    My name, Isabella, is already in the Twilight series and I would never change my name because I love it =D

  13. k says:

    Renesme. I know everyone hates it, but it’s unique and pretty. I also love the name Jasper. I actually never heard of that name before Twilight

  14. Keilla says:

    ALICE!!!

  15. Chiara says:

    hmmm i think bella or alice =)

  16. Amy says:

    i would deffinatley choose Leah
    1) i love that name, i think it’s really unique without being too wacky
    2) i know that this is meant to be about names, but as a charactor her strength for putting up with Sam leaving her for Emily, then being the only female werewolf and also having everyone know how upset she is about Sam, really impresses me
    This is just another random bit, but when i was looking up her name i found this site and it says that in the bible Leah is Jacob’s first wife and mother to some of his children, which i thought was really cool seeing as you guys thought that in breaking dawn Jacob and Leah might get together! here’s the link if you want to check it out
    http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Leah
    absoloutley love the show you guys are so funny!!
    amyxxxxx

  17. Leslie says:

    Ok Alice is my favorite character so probably her name is my fav. Also I love leah and renesme. But dont really like nessie nickname.

  18. Stephanie/Kari says:

    I think if I changed my name to a Twilight character it would have to be Zafrina. It’s such a pretty name and so original, I never heard it before but I instantly loved Zafrina in Breaking Dawn for the soul purpose of her name. Although I don’t know how well it would fit a white girl 🙂

    Oh, and I know this pertains a bit to “old news” but I need to get this off my chest. I’m 21, so I’m not exactly included in the young audience of Twilight, although not old either…but anyway, I think that the fact that I am happy about Taylor does say a few things about what you guys said last week with the older audience being the ones who are more likely to be ok with replacing him. The thing about me is I actually gave that whole thing a lot of thought. I wasn’t too all that adamant either way on the issue, but once I weighed the two options I believed whole heartedly that there was no reason to get rid of Taylor.

    Some of the arguments against getting rid of him were some of the following: He was too young looking, not intimidating enough, and possibly too short/too scrawny-little-kid looking. I actually came up with relatively good comebacks to all three. One, he’s too young looking. Well yes, technically when Jacob changes he SEEMS to go from a 16 year old to a 23 year old. But you have to keep in mind although there is that seems there, he didn’t actually jump in age. He’s still a 16 year old kid. Also Bella in one of the books if not more then once mentioned still being able to see the baby face that was Jacob prior to his change, which was probably a huge reason why she still felt attached. So I don’t see any problem with him still looking young, and I mean if you think about it, at least to me, Taylor looks way younger with long hair, and so the shorter hair would help him too. Two, he’s not intimidating. I just have to say are you kidding?! Has no one ever seen Sharkboy and Lavagirl? (Yes, guilty pleasure, I enjoyed that movie and have watched it multiple times when it comes on TV). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC-n2OWRh5o The guy was about what, 9 in this movie? He’s scary! And well versed in karate. Making scary faces and being intimidating comes with the training of karate. Imagine what he could do now. And three, being too short or too scrawny. This one he’s been fixing on his own. He’s buffing up ridiculously and it’s showing quite well, and as the most discussed they can play camera tricks, even cheap ones like from LOTR or Harry Potter. So yeah, those are my reasonings, and I haven’t really heard many people mention them in discussion so I thought I would. If you want to read this I would love to hear what you guys think on the podcast, otherwise it’s not a big deal. Maybe you could email me and tell me what you think that way 🙂 Thanks guys.

  19. Team Edcob says:

    Hei there..!
    I think the most beautiful name is Edward and Leah. If I was a boy I would change my name to Edward. And maybe I’ll change my name to leah.. I’m definitely going to name one of my daughters Leah, and if a get a boy, Edward..! I’ve always liked Edward, not because that’s the name of the most perfect man in the world, but because the name is so gorgeous..! Okay okay!! I knd of started to like the name a little more when I read about Edward, but it’s a beautiful name anyway.
    Leah.. omg Leah… It’s beautiful… Just the sound of it..! L-e-a-h… mmm.. x)
    Oh man I searched for leah on google.. and this was the first sentence who came up: Leah was a Matriarch, one of the four women and the two wives of Jacob who brought forth the 12 tribes of the People of Israel.
    haha..! leah’s Jacobs wife.. I just thought it was funny, even though I know it’s from the bible or something.. (:

    So that was my comment.
    I love your podcast…
    Maybe I’ll post an other one, if I get some really great idea..!

  20. Annie McKee says:

    First of All I would love to start off this answer by saying…ehem…I’m so glad Taylor is still Jacob! I’m totally team Jacob but I read the series again, for the fourth time in a row, I just finished Eclipse and right now I’m Switzerland. I love Jacob but man, is he a pain in Eclipse or what? Me and best buddie Kilee thought of who is the good guy in each book. Twilight: Edward. (DUH) New Moon: Jacob. Eclipse: Edward. Breaking Dawn: Jacob. I’m sorry but Edward was way too stinking over-protective in BD. It made me mad, I was gonna love the baby (Renesmee <3) any way. Even if she was an “Alien baby popping out of Bella’s tummy”. Who in their right minds wouldn’t love Bella and Edwards baby?

    Well now on to the question of the week. I love the name Claire…I’ve loved even before the Twilight series. I squeal when I meet someone who’s name is Claire. For both of my fan fics, can you guess what the name is…CLAIRE! I don’t know why I love it but it gives me a pang in the heart when I hear it.

    I searched on an online names.com thingy and found this…just to let you know Claire (Pang) comes from the french name Clara.

    Feminine form of the Late Latin name Clarus which meant “clear, bright, famous”. The name Clarus was borne by a few early saints. The feminine form was popularized by the 13th-century Saint Clare of Assisi (called Chiara in Italian), a friend and follower of Saint Francis, who left her wealthy family to found the order of nuns known as the Poor Clares. As an English name it has been in use since the Middle Ages, originally in the form Clare, though the Latinate spelling Clara became more popular in the 19th century.

    I think I like it now because that’s how people describe me. I’m a dancer, actress, and singer I’m on my way up right now, I just want to take LA by storm, but I can’t do that now because my mom still wants me to have a childhood. Yeah…I still have a childhood, between 8 hours at the Dance Studio and sleeping, I have no time. Oh well. When my mom asks me if I want anything I say “A one-way plane ticket to LA.” She get’s confused cause I said it fast. “What?” she says. I just copy what she just said in the same tone.

    Well thanks for putting up this awesome question, You guys are so funny I loved Lindsays rant on the VMA’s, how do you feel about a girl from Missouri in Washington still with the accent? Well that’s me! I live in Tacoma, four hours from Forks and Portland, I hope you like the name Annie cause you’ll be seeing it in lights someday! LOL!!!!

    Happy Podcasting!

  21. Sarah Madge says:

    Oh my, could you have picked a better question? I love it!!!

    I have a couple, I actually really like the name Irina- it is Russian and means peace, and I am normally quite stressed so a bit of extra peace would be nice!! My favourite character is Jasper, I love him a lot so even though I am a girl I think Jasper would be an awesome name to have, especially the nick name Jazz.

    And I plan to name my children Isabella, and James. Partly because of Twilight but I think they are really pretty names anyway. I actually like Stephenie now Ive come to think of it, even though she’s not actually in Twilight.

    Hope you liked my answer, and I also love your names. I think if I ever had twin girls I would consider Kassie and Kallie.

  22. Karo says:

    Hey there,
    I have some names, I’m not sure if it’s 100% right but it’s a theory =D
    here we go:

    Bella
    “Bella” means beautiful in Italian, which could be referring to the way Edward lovesBella or how almost all the boys fall for her when she’s new at Forks High School. That would mean that the boys didn’t fall for her just because she was “something new to look at” (as someone thought, I think it was Jessica or Lauren) but because, unaware of being it, Bella was really beautiful and that might also be a reason why her blood “sang” to Edward (which means her blood smelled exceptionally good to him)

    Carlisle
    Carlisle is old English and means “Strong as the shining one”.
    This could concern his compassion and his ability to completely resist human blood (which is also due to centuries of training, but anyway)
    The Cullens see Carlise as their father, and a father almost always has this protecting-thing about him. Like he is the strongest in the family and protects them all.
    This protective feeling is in the Cullen family as well, for example, in BD when Bella finds out she’s pregnant, Edward immediately calls Carlisle.
    So the Cullens always ask him for advice, because he seems to be the strongest one, not in a physical way like Emmett, but in his mind. He’s unbelievably intelligent, compassionate and he always has a solution for things.

    Alice
    Alice is old English as well and it means noble or kind, which could be the explanation why she always wants everyone to be perfectly dressed =D

    Esme
    Esme is French and means “beloved”, which kinda fits because Esme is loving and beloved, she plays the mother role in the Cullen family and cares for Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, Edward and Bella like they were her own children and she loves Carlisle in a way which leaves no doubt that they belong together.
    She’s kind and she always cares for others, and she really belongs to the Cullen family, I think.

    And if I were a guy, I’d definitely call myself Carlisle, because that name is kind of… elegant and old and thoughtful… in some ways. But I love his name – Caaarlisleee – and i’s the coolest one I’ve ever heard… (of a guy, I mean) =P

    Thanks for… well… reading listening seeing whatever this comment =D
    LOVE THE PODCAST!

    Sorry if my English is bad I’m from Austria.

  24. Shteff! says:

    TANYA!
    Ok, I wouldn’t really enjoy to change my name (Stephanie), I just adore my name 😀 It’s unique! But i’d so choose Tanya because i’d be able to saunter around getting called YahYAH!
    Haha, I love saying that *sounds out Y-A-H* hehe! Go ya ya!
    Imagine it, just shouting out “YO! TANYA BAB!” or the classic “Tanzy” XD!
    Man that would be SOOO cool 😀
    xox

  25. Dana says:

    I would want to be Rosalie it has a very old world charm and it isn’t common which i’m kinda use to with my name of Danamarie

  26. Gemma Thompson says:

    hey kassie and kallie.

    i haft to say i think this is one of your best questions of the week just beacuse the diversity of the other answers are so good.
    my favourite girls names are :
    esme, just beacuse its so unusual and pretty.
    leah because ive always likey how the name lia sounds but now how its spelt and this is so much cooler.
    alice i love cause its cool but in england (where im from) there are so many alice’s and there can be 5 alices in a class which annoys me.

    bella <– i like this name but the poblem is that i think everytime i hear the name bella i think about bella swan which would alwyas annoy me. but i still love it.

    my favourite boys names are:

    edward : i love this name but its quite a common name in england and it is sometime accossiated whith snobbyness. i dont think that i think its a nice smart boys name .

    i haft to say i love the name emmett i love it SO MUCH i dont know why its just the way you say it emmett emmett emmett if i ever have a son i would so name him emmett just beacuse its sucha cool name

    xxx

  27. Kiwi says:

    I think I would choose Alice, it was one of the names I had to call my daughter.
    We have named our cat Bella (it was Bellatrix) but has since been shortened to Bella and all my friends think we chose it because of Twilight.

  28. Briony says:

    I’d change my name to Alice, I’ve read some of the comments above where people are like “It’s too common” which is true, but my name (Briony) is kind of rare and I always have to repeat it and spell it out and blahdiblah. And also Alice is my FAVOURITE female character of ALL TIME!!!

    I love the names Jasper and Seth. Jasper means “Treasurer” and Seth means “Appointed” and also “Dazzle”.
    Those will be my children’s names- I would never merge the names of their grandparents- Renesmee, I hate that name!!!!

    And by the way… TAYLOR!!! Soooo happy, now we just need to make sure they don’t cast Vanessa Hudgens as Leah.

  29. Maggie says:

    This question is hard in a way because so many of the names in the books are beautiful, even Renesmee, whose name everyone ended up thinking was really off the wall, has grown on me. I think if I was going to end up changing my name – even though I like my real name – it would probably be Bella or Alice. I like both of them, so I can’t decide. I’ve also found out that Edward means ‘guardian of wealth’ which I thought was sort of funny since he’s rich and all that. The names in the book were all beautiful (even the foreign vampires in Breaking Dawn, which I couldn’t pronounce 🙂 ), so I think this was a fun question.

  30. rosalie says:

    DEAR AWESOME AND VERY SMART TWILIGHTSERIESTHEORIES CREATORS,
    now, i havn’t read anyone’s comments yet, but here are my theories.
    In the bible, Jacob has two wives- Leah and Rachel. Rachel is Jacob’s sister, right? And Leah, well Leah has a thing for Jacob and in Breaking Dawn we were all expecting them to get together, but Renesme came along and BAM! he imprinted. So, in the bible, Jacob loves Rachel (even though hes not in love with his sister, there’s still a connection) and not Leah. Leah is also very ‘unattractive’ as described in Breaking Dawn- and in fact, Leah, in hebrew(though im not hebrew) means cow… see my point? and btw im not very religious, i’ve just heard the stories. your welcome : )
    I’d also like to make another point here.. its got little to do with names, but read this anyway…
    All the guys i’ve seen that are named Edward are BUTTUGLY. So, how is it that Edward Cullen is… handsome? Do you see what im tryin to say? Do you dig what im rappin’? I mean, come on.. i’ve never met a really handsome Edward.
    love you guys,
    rosalie

  31. lara says:

    ok… I really like the name Edward. This name is PERFECT for his character, as it means ‘rich guard’ coming from Old English elements ead “rich, blessed” and weard “guard”. Edward guards/ protects Bella for most of the saga, and all of the Cullens are super-rich!!

    Also, I really like the name Edward because I used to think of it as a boring, English name- but after reading the books I began to see the name in a new light, which a book has never been able to do for me before.

    The surname Cullen is unreal too. It means Cologne/colony” (Old French/Latin); or, “at the back of the river” (Scots Gaelic). The Cullens are a tight group like a colony and they live behind a river! Coincidence….

    Ahhh Isabella…a name I have always loved. Every variation of it- Bella/Bells etc. I always thought that this was a very musical name, especially ‘Bells’, and music is one of the most special ways that Edward expresses his epic love for her.

    Speaking of music, I really wish that Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson would record some sort of duet for the soundtrack for New Moon…they are both UNREAL at the guitar- so maybe even something instrumental???

    Well thats all for now!
    All of Ireland says hi! Well kinda…

  32. Emily says:

    If i had to pick a name I’d probably pick Isabella or Rosalie. For girls I like long names that can have nicknames (bella, rose). Plus I’ve always loved the name Isabella. I like more uncommon name since Emily was the most common name for girls in 1994 (the year i was born). But if we had to choose names based on the personality of the character, I’d pick Alice. Just because i love how perky, happy and optemistic she always is. See the future would be a plus too. :p

    ok well i have three that i would pick Alice Rosalie or Isabella

    i would pick alice because when you guys were talking about the meanings of the characters names i decided to check a couple and realized that alice means truth i thought that was kind of funny because she kind tells the truth of where your headed only you know and you decied i thought that was really funny then realized its probibly not a coincidence 🙂

    i would pick Rosalie because i really love the name i think its beautiful and really wish that i had that name Rosalie means white rose so not a whole not to go on about

    and Isabella Bella for short of course not just because its Bella i mean duh but Ive always loved this name and thought it was like a delicate name so those are my thought hope you like them and absolutely love the show 🙂

  35. *Bella* says:

    I would choose bella because that is my name!!!
    But if I had to have another name it would be Heidi because I love that the names meaning is noble and serene.

  36. Brita says:

    Hmm, I would probably choose . . . Alice. Alice means: Truth or Noble, which I thought was pretty cool. I think a lot of the time I am very truthful (maybe too much) but I don’t know if I am noble. Maybe I am but I just haven’t had the chance to flaunt it? Alice is my all time favorite girl character in Twilight too. The main reason why I picked Alice though, is because my grandmother’s name is Alice, so I kind of connected with that aspect. 🙂 Have a nice week and hope you guys have a great year!

    Toodles,

    Brita

  37. Alexa says:

    I would pick Isabella. It’s a really pretty name. It means God is my oath. I have no idea what thats supposed to mean though.

  38. roxy says:

    My name is Rochelle and my sisters name is rosalie.

  39. Brystel says:

    Hi! Wow I Love This Question! I Would Have To Say Kachiri Because It Is Such An Exotic Name That Not Many People In The World Have. If You Didnt No Kachiri Was A Vampire From The Amazonian Coven! It Means Island Upon, Which Is Very Odd. I Would Love To Have The Name Rosalie As Well, I Have Always Adored That Name, Tho It Is Becoming More Popular So I Dont Think I Would Go With That….Love The Podcast!

  40. Valerie says:

    I really love the name Rosalie. I think it’s a very beautiful name, although not common. The name is unusual, although, like most of the names of the vampires in Twilight, fitting for the time in which she was born. The name itself has a graceful quality about it that fits Rosalie’s character. Anyway, love your podcast, keep up the great work. 🙂

  41. Jacob's Girl says:

    I think that I would change my name to Jacob. I’m a girl but HECK! Who cares!!!

  42. Ashley T. says:

    If I had to chose I would have to say, Alice. Alice is just so bright and full and spirit. I love how fun loving and spunky she is also. I think Alice matches her name perfectly and I think it would fit me also :]

    Kallie & Kassie I just started listening to you guys recently, and you guys are amazing, the pod casts, the website everything, so keep up the great work!

    Ash :]

  43. Olinda says:

    Hey Kallie and Kassie!
    I love these week question..
    Ok.. I would really, really, change my name for Alice Renesmee, or Angela Renesmee, I really love the name Renesme!!
    It is very original (like mine) and i love Alice soo much.. she is my favorite character (besides Edward). And Angela too, because it look nice Renesmee and Angela together,
    Many people tell me that my name is really weird, well, i don’t know any one, besides my mom, whom name is Olinda, and for second name Giselle, well, that’s me..
    I like my name but i like more, Alice/Angela Renesmee. If i can’t change my name, i will put it to my daughter, even that my husband don’t agree with me! And if i were a boy, i will change my name for Edward Jacob, like Bella wanted to put to her baby if she was a boy…
    well that is it.. now you know what name i would like, and if i can, some day i will write you, and tell that i really change my name 🙂 (Maybe not because i’m only 15, but well, i can dream) 🙂
    Your friend,
    Olinda (soon Alice/Angela Renesmee) 🙂
    ps.. Really!.. love you podcast!..
    ps.. of the ps.. i like the word really…hahaha 😀

  44. hayley-reigh says:

    Totally Rosalie…it’s so rare.

    You know when you’re in school and like 3 people in your class have the same name as you? THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN! And it’s a very perrrrtty name! 😀

  45. lilyasia cullen says:

    WELL I WOULD CHOSE LEAH BECAUSE THE NAME IS THOSE NAMES THAT U DON’T HEAR OF AND BEACUSE LEAH IS A BEAUTFUL NAME.

  46. Emily says:

    Hey Guys!

    First off i just want to say that i love the Podcast!! i am downloading the next one right now and can’t wait to listen! you rock!!

    I already have a James in my life as this is my horses name and the fact that he is really mean and like to bite makes me think of him as James even more.

    My name is already Emily so i can’t really pick that, but i don’t like how it is such a common name so i think i would go with Alice. i don’t know anyone with that name and i really like it. Also because i love Alice and i think i am a lot like her; i am happy all of the time and like to skip and dance around.

    However if i was a guy i would defiantly pick Emmett, he is my favorite character in the book, his name rocks and i love Kellan! But i don’t know if i could pick a second place for a guy name. I love the names and characters Carlisle, Jasper, Benjamin, Alec, Alistair(this is such a sick name) and of course Edward. But i am not a guy so 😛

    You guys are hilarious! i will actually laugh out load while i am listening which can be a little embarrassing sometimes but don’t stop!!
    Keep up the amazing work!! 😀

    Emily <3

  49. Cedar says:

    I want my name to be Alice. It is just such a pretty name! I don’t really have a good reason though I just really like that name! it’s my favorite name for a girl(not counting Kallie or Kassie of course)!

  50. Jasmine says:

    If I was a guy it would definitely be Jassper because we have the same initials and the same nickname (Jazz) But seeing how I’m a girl it would probably be……..Alice or Jane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    LUV IT!!!!!!!
