GIRLS:
Olympia-Unusual, but with a bit of a ring about it. This is the PERFECT Olympics name!
London (also for boys!)-This is the time to be patriotic people, but pair with a more sophisticated middle name so as not to sound too American!
Gloria-Glory is what is awaiting many of the athletes and what spurs them on to persevere.
Brittany-Slightly softer round the edges than "Britton", this is the combination of class and honour to your country.
Athena-The Greek Gods were a major part of the Olympics, Athena no exception. This name just begs to be used.
Valerie-Meaning strength, this is a really beautiful name that leaks integrity and honest loyalty.
Star-Okay, If you want to make it obvious that your little one is the "star" of this season, why not???
Hope-A powerful characteristic in a name, and flows beautifully as a middle one too.
Diamond-Well, "Gold" would be a bit weird as a name so "Diamond" is some form of substitute I suppose.
BOYS:
Apollo-Strong Strong and Strong. End of story.
Jupiter-This unusual name has echoes of all sorts of genres, going back to the Greek God, Jupiter.
Maximilian/Maximus-Thinks he's the best, usually is the best. This name is full of itself.
Bolt-Unusual, but there's no better way to honour the super athlete, and as a word "bolt" is just plain super fast.
Archer-This surname turned name is actually one of my favourites, with the obvious Olympic links.
Ace-As a one syllable name, this one just stands out, sporty, stylish, victorious. The whole package.
Dash-Makes me think of "The Incredibles" but is that such a bad thing really?
Hawk-These birds have eyes. And not just any eyes. Hawk eyes. Victory eyes.
Leyton-Lol. It actually says to get off at Leyton for the Olympic station. Well, no offence, but there are nicer places on this earth but I suppose for many people it's home, and now for many people, it's a really important station. (mind you, there aren't many kids called Paddington these days!)
Eagle-A feisty bird of prey. There is no crossing this one. If there was a bird Olympics, Eagles would probably be in for a lick of the gold.
Falcon-The fastest bird EVER. Beware, your baby Falcon may follow in his namesake's footsteps, or more precisely wing flaps.
Jaguar-These things are fast. Faster, Stronger, but not really higher. Mind you calling your kid "Tall", "Giraffe" or "Tower" may not be advisable.
Silver-Next best to gold, and you can't always win anyways.
Usain-I honestly prefer "Bolt" as hommage to the amazing athlete. But everyone's different.
Daley-Tom Daley, 18, Diver. This is one to watch! and honest, I would name my kid after him!
Okay so time to announce my Gold, Silver and Bronze of Olympic names:
BRONZE: Archer Hawk Maximus SILVER: Athena Brittany HopeGOLD: Bolt Apollo London
What is YOURS?
