What's your child's name and why did you call them that?

Question

What's your child's name and why did you call them that?

Answer 1

twins ,pete & repete

Answer 2

All 3 of my daughter's names (Madeline, Caroline and Morgan) were picked out of baby name books. They were all names my husband and I could agree on (after many hours of arguing about it LOL). They don't have any special meaning, we just thought they were all beautiful names.



My daughter's middle names, on the other hand, are all family names. Madeline Mae, Mae was my great-great grandmother. Caroline Grace, Grace was a great aunt, and Morgan Elizabeth, Elizabeth was my mother.

Answer 3

My son't name is Henry Paul, the Henry is my Grandfather's and my husband's Grandfather's middle name, it has a long family history to us, and Paul is my husband's beloved Uncle's name as well as his grandfather's first name.



My daughter is Molly Rose, Molly is another old family name in my family and my husband and i are passionate gardeners and nature lovers so the Rose represents that.

Answer 4

My daughter's name is Etienne and we named her after a friend who died of AIDS complications.

Answer 5

Dominic



I got the name from the movie Kindergarten cop (that little boy was so cute)

Answer 6

His name is Jonathan.



Long story short - We call him Johnny because that's the nickname we used call my stepdad (now we just call him by his name, lol). My stepdad has done a LOT for me in the past 10 years, and it just made sense.

Answer 7

My Daughter is called Leah Jessie. Leah because I thought it was a very pretty name (when I think of this name I imagine a pretty little girl).......and Jessie because my Dad was called Gerald (Gess for short) and he never got to see his Grand Daughter.

Answer 8

Well when we found out we were having twins we always knew a boy would be named after my dad who was ill with cancer at the time when we found out it was a boy and girl we chose Kylie for her because i had always been a fan of Kylie Minogue and I'm so glad we did

Kylie Ann and Thomas William x

Answer 9

My 3-year-old son is called Nathan Miles. We called him that because we liked the name, it suited him and also in memory of my Dad - he was called Miles.



My twins are five days old and are named Eleanor Mae and Joshua Thomas. We didn't want to choose names which didn't fit with Nathan Miles because it is quite a modern name. My fiance had a sister called Eleanor who died when she was very young and she wanted to call our daughter after her. The middle name 'Mae' just went with it and sounded lovely, so we chose that. Joshua Thomas was chosen just because we liked the names and couldn't choose which one to have as the first name, so chose Joshua followed by Thomas as we thought it sounded better.





In the end, no matter what reason we chose them for I love the names of our children. They fit them perfectly and sound nice to us so we're very happy with them!

Answer 10

My sons name is Michael Chidendu Ihenetu.



My favourite uncle died of brain cancer and he was called Mick, so i named my son Michael after him and i also chose the name Michael as it is a biblical name.



Chidendu is a Nigerian name meaning 'god is alive' and that is the name his father chose for him (his father being Nigerian)



Ihenetu is our family name.

Answer 11

Parents, parents...... remember something. One day your child WILL grow up. They will have to get a job - so be kind and bless them with a name which won't make prospective employers burst out laughing when they read their CV, and pass it round the office so everyone else can have a giggle, and smirk and judge and ask "what were her parents smoking, is it legal, and where can I get some?". Whilst working in a supermarket, I've been witness to countless parents screaming at kids named Chardonnay (doubly confusing as the woman in question was also asking me about a bottle of white wine - true story), Chelsea, and most bizarre of all, twins Vanilla and Cinnamon. i had to stuff my fist in my mouth and walk away very quickly so I could go an share the joke with my colleagues out the back. If you give your kids daft names, and you say them aloud in public, people will laugh at you and pity your children.



And is there even any point trying to be individual, and come up with 'unique' spellings for your child's name? When they receive birthday cards from their classmates, your child will receive a bunch of cards with various attempts at spelling it, of which only 2 out of 30 will be correct. When your child is older, they'll want to adjust it anyway. Take Victoria: Vic, Vicky, Vickie, Vikki, Tors, Ria. Or Elizabeth. Liz, Lizzy, Lizzie, Eliza, Beth. Let your child find their identity - don't try to impress it on them.

Answer 12

Joel.....when i was pregnant with him I worked as a care assistant with the elderley. One woman I looked after was like my friend, I could have sat in her house talkin to her for hours, she was 96 and had 8 children, she was the wisest woman. Anyway, I was havin problems with my bf and she said to me , 'Dont worry, it will all work out, God is good'...a few days later I opened my baby name book and the page was open on the name Joel and I read the meaning of Joel to be 'Jehova is good' and I took it to be a sign that that shoulkd be my sons name. When I read it properly a few weeks later it actually said, 'Jehova is god' But it didnt matter, I knew either way that was supposed to be my babys name.

My lil girl is called Sophie, it means Wise one. I think names are very important and I would never call my baby Apple or Skyor something equally ridiculous...the name tells you something important about the person, choose it well!

Answer 13

I've skimmed through this - some of you appear to be sensible and rational, and some of you seem to be utterly loopy! Have you forgotten how cruel children can be, and their fascination with rhyming combinations? Smelly Ellie, Matty the fatty etc etc. Perhaps I'm biased (and bitter) - my name has about 30 rhyming combinations. Yes I am aware that my name rhymes with snail. Yes I've heard it a million times. No you're not original or funny. I've been aware of this since I was 4.

Answer 14

Steve is my hubby's second name and not just that i had a crush on Steve McQueen so i named him Steve, my choice.

Second choice was mine as well , Melane with an apostrophy on the last E just because i liked the name.

Third daughter was called Denny, my husbands choice, our Dr's surname was Dennahee and he my husband then called her Denny for some reason or other. I like it though.

Only problem then was a couple of years later they were selling Mushrooms which was called Denny-Mushroom's and poor old Den was teased but in a good way.

Answer 15

No matter how bad you F*** over anyone, no one has the right to insult a child. But really this shouldn't be the issue. you should be thinking about the kind of people you are exposing your children to. The fact is if you are moving in with a person that is willing to act worse than a child, you are exposing your children to very bad element. Most single parents I know will wait for 6 months to year with a person before they can honestly say that person is even safe to meet their children. If you continue to bring women into your children’s lives that do not truly care about your kids your risking serious psychological harm. Think about your children first, not about how tacky a woman you were dating is.

Smelly Ellie, Matty the fatty etc etc. Perhaps I'm biased (and bitter) - my name has about 30 rhyming combinations. Yes I am aware that my name rhymes with snail. Yes I've heard it a million times. No you're not original or funny. I've been aware of this since I was 4.

Answer 17

I don't have any kids, but if I had a son I would call him Dexter after the psycopathic blood-addicted serial killer who stars in the hit TV series of the same name.



Not really, it would be after that little Russian kid who has his own lab in that cartoon... what's it called... I think it's 'The Little Russian Kid Who Has His Own Place To Make Stuff'.











God I'm bored.

Parents, parents...... remember something. One day

Answer 19

My twins are five days old and are named Eleanor Mae and Joshua Thomas. We didn't want to choose names which didn't fit with Nathan Miles because it is quite a modern name. My fiance had a sister called Eleanor who died when she was very young and she wanted to call our daughter after her. The middle name 'Mae' just went with it and sounded lovely, so we chose that. Joshua Thomas was chosen just because we liked the names and couldn't choose which one to have as the first name, so chose Joshua followed by Thomas as we thought it sounded better.

Answer 20

My children are called Liam and Mia. I chose them because I didnt want long names that could be shortened.Unfortunately, a lot of people LENGTHEN Mias name to Mina, so that didnt really work did it? Also, Kate Winslet had a girl and named her Mia around the time I was thinking of a name. Also I thought it was a pretty name. Both the names suit the children which is a bonus!!!

Answer 21

I have two boys ages 4 & 2.

My 4 year old, I named Connor Nolan. I wanted a traditional Irish name for him seeing as that is a large part of my heritage & it made my Grandmother very happy.

My 2 year old I named Jhonen Caleb. I named him after Jhonen Vasquez the comic book writer who wrote "Johnny the Homicidal Maniac", "Squee" & the cartoon "Invader Zim" his middle name Caleb was just trying to stay with the traditional Irish name.

Answer 22

I'm not a parent, but my firstborn son will be Milo.



It is the name of a character in a story a dear friend wrote, and the second I saw it I knew it was a lovely name and I would name a son of mine after it.



My firstborn daughter will be called Starla.



I saw it in a film once (Slither, the very bad 'horror-comedy' of all things. The poor child will not be traumatised with this knowledge of where her name comes from) But it just struck me because it is beautiful and so different to anything I have very heard before.



My next son would be called Caspian, after the Narnia prince, because it is fantastic.



My next daughter would be called either Blue or Robyn.



I prefer names that are out of the ordinary but are still nice. It's no fun having the same name as five of your classmates. Being conventional isn't really my thing.

Answer 23

My moms name is Bella.

So when my sister was born my mom named her Isabella

and then when i was born she named me Anabella



it's a family thing, we're all Bella's

Answer 24

I have twin daughters, conceived in Italy (BIG surprise!!) We knew one would definitely be a girl from the first scan, so decided to call her Sofia. The second twin kept its legs firmly crossed for a total of 5 scans and we pretty much decided it would be a boy and we would call him Luca. As it turned out, she lacked the necessary equipment and we found ourselves blessed with two girls. So now we have Sofia and Lucia.



Sofia's middle name is Jeanette (for my mum and me (middle names) and Lucia's is Patricia (for hubby's mum).



We wanted them to have names that reflected their 'country of origin' as it were.

Answer 25

My first born is called Zack because that was the only boys name I liked! His middle name is George after my husbands grandad and also St George!



My second son is called Kai - he was going to be Jake all the way through my pregnancy, then I heard someone at work mention their relative called Kai and I loved it! His middle name is Ethan - just another name I liked!



My third son is called Reggie. He is named after my dad who sadly passed away when I was pregnant. My dad was called Reginald, but I though Reggie was a more child friendly name! His middle name is Christopher after my husbands dad!

Answer 26

My son is Adam Francis - we picked his middle name first, because my husband has connections with the Franciscans, but took ages finding a first name that we both liked. For ages we were going to call him Stephen, but then I had a scan when I was about 39 weeks pg, and came out saying "I still don't know whether I'm having a boy or a girl, but that's not a Stephen, that's an Adam." No idea where I got that idea from, but it stuck and it fits him perfectly - and it's the sort of name we like - it's not that common, but it's an instantly recognisable name - and we like that it's Biblical.



Our daughter is Ruth Sarah - I've always wanted a daughter called Ruth - there are a number of Ruth's I've known who have been very important to me in one way or another, and again, it's not that common as a name, but it's recognisable. And we picked Sarah as a middle name, partly because my MIL was very fond of her Aunt Sarah, but she died before I could meet her. Again, they're both Biblical names - and their stories are those of strong women who knew their own minds. (And that fits oh-so-well!)

Answer 27

Our first child is Joshua Luke, Joshua as it means 'the lord is salvation' and Luke was the gospel that year.



Our second child Imogen Amy Alexandra, Imogen because its not a name you hear everyday and i love it, Amy as this was the name of our sons friend who he adored at the time and i wanted him to have an input, and Alexander is my husbands confirmation name so Alexandra is the female version.



Our third child Grace Isobel Johanna, Grace as i love the hymmn 'amazing grace', Isobel as this was my nan's name, and Johanna is my husbands mothers name and its a nice spin on Joanna, using the sound of the 'h' in the middle.

Answer 28

my oldest is called joshua and i have always liked this name for a boy after seeing lethal weapon my youngest is declan as his dad's side of the family are irish so i chose an irish name as he wasn't going to have his father's surname

Answer 29

Lathan Gabriel and Noah Michael.



We wanted something different, but not TOO different with Lathan, but people still call him Nathan and we do a lot of correcting.

I just loved the name Noah, and he felt like a Noah. My beloved grandfather(who passed away a year before I gave birth) always said how much he liked the name Noah from the Bible.



We decided on giving them middle names of Angels. Michael has even more meaning because of family members(both sides) who have the same name.



They both live up to their names, I couldn't see them with any other.

Answer 30

my oldest son is called Adam i chose his name because at the time of his birth i didn't know anybody by that name, my youngest son is called Nathan i chose that name for the same reason i chose adam's and my daughter is called Savana i chose the name because i heard it on tv and i fell in love with the name, but i also fell in love with the name Hayden which is her middle name, i had a very hard time choosing which name would be her first name as i love them both just as much but i thought Savana Hayden sounded better than Hayden Savana

Answer 31

My first born was a boy and I called him Uno which means number one.

My second child was a girl and I named her Twain. Meaning two.

My third was a girl and I Named her Trifinha, Tri meaning three.

My fourth was a boy and I named him Quatro meaning four.

And my fifth was a boy and then I was out of ideas so I called him Fivish

Answer 32

My Childs Name Is Tyler And I Named Him That Cuz Thats A cool Name i think

Answer 33

Samuel Stephen

Stephen is a family name, we simply liked Samuel



Oliver James

Again Middle name family, liked Oliver but no family connection with main name



Melissa Louise

Neither family, but both friends and the only names we both liked

Answer 34

My child's name is Macy Rae. We named her Macy because we liked the sound of it and had also read that the name meant "Matthew's Estate" and my husbands name is Matthew. The middle name Rae has been passed down for five generations in my family and therefore I gave my daughter the same middle name as myself to continue the tradition that has been in my family. The names also sounded good together.

Answer 35

I have 3 boys. Our first child we called Blain. I am Irish, my husband, born in London of Irish parents. I wanted to call him something that was a little different and hopefully there would not be another one in the class! He is 12 now and only met one other child called Blain so far! Plus, the name is Gaelic. Our second son is called Conal, a Celtic name. He turned 10 last week and has not met another Conal so far! Our third son is called Devin. Again, of Celtic origin. He is 3. So there it is, we have a B, C and a D and I can categorically say, there will be not be an A or an E!!!

Answer 36

I named my only child Jimmi..NOT James...just Jimmi!...named after an ex partner whom I will always love but it was a very volatile relationship...i survived, with the scars to prove it and every time I look at my amazing son I remember how ANYTHING is possible...if you want it enough and work hard enough...there is a nod of the head towards Jimi Hendrix too...and Jim Dean...but mainly 'cos I survived my nightmare 12 years and boy, was it worth it...I would not change a thing...it has brought me to my 'now'...and now is just great! :0)

Answer 37

Im pregnant with my son and I would like to call him

Answer 38

Answer 39

I dont have any kids but my little sister is called Amber Savannah. My mum likes names that are not very commonly used.



My brothers are Kyle Mitch Bradley and Aaron Peter, my big sister is Melissa Kim and I'm Natasha Elise

Answer 40

My oldest daughter's name is Kristal and she is 27 now. I chose it because I was in a department store shopping one day while I was pregnant with her. I was in the china department and came across some crystal and it just came to me - what a pretty name for a little girl!! So I went home and wrote it out with all different spelling's and Kristal is what I came up with.

All the names in my husband's family starts with letter G ( GINA, GLYN, GENER, GIRLIE & GOMER). From my family all of our name starts with letter D (DESIREE, DODETTE & DEDEN).

i chose the name Eleen for my little girl. My partners late mother was called Eileen so i thought it would be nice to use his mums name but i took out the 'i' to modernise it!!



Ilove it and every one comments on how different it is.

Answer 63

Alyssa - was my favorite name for years and years. Means beautiful like a flower (and she is).

Nathanael - means God has given (and his twin) Madison - which means gift of God.

We named our son Nathanael because in the Bible, Philip (my husband's name) found Nathanael under the tree and brought him to Jesus. This was significant because my husband will have a big part in teaching (leading) our son about Jesus. Also picked the twins names due to their meaning (I had a hard time getting pregnant with them) and we loved the names.

Answer 64

i dont have children yet but i believe that a person's name has alot of influence on them, and also i just want my children's names to be cute lol. but when i do have children i want my son to be named Colin James, and my daughter to be named Jordyn Stacie. i also really like Jai Elle for my little girl aswell.

Kid 3 = Alex Stephen Victor, = Alex not sure why Stephen after his father and Victor after my favorite Uncle,



Kid 4 = Leigh Colin Lloyd = Leigh was because i wanted Amelia 4 a girl so it got changed to Leigh, and other 2 names his doppy father named him after dart player. (idiot)

Answer 67

My son's name is Kaleb. My husband and I had the same initials, KDP, when we met, so we decided to keep our kids names the same as well. I wanted him to have a biblical name, so that's what we came up with. His middle name is the same as his dad's and his dad's grandpa's.



My daughter's name is Kloe. Same reason, although I wanted to name her Kelsey, my husband chose Kloe, and I went ahead with it because I really got to choose Kaleb's name. Her middle name is the same as mine, my mohter got it from her grandmother's middle name. So it's a family thing for us.

Answer 70

My sons name is james after my great grandad his middle name after me kenneth

Answer 71

I was married to a Frenchman and living in France when I had my two children. We called our son Julien, a good old-fashioned French name and then chose Eloise for our daughter. She was named after the 11th century Heloise, a nobleman's daughter who was a scholar of Pierre Abelard. They fell in love with each other, but could never marry - he became a monk, she became a nun and their paths continued to cross throughout their lives and they ended up being buried together. It was such a beautiful - if sad! - real-life story, Heloise et Abelard, and I thought Eloise sounded a lovely soft name that just rolls off the tongue. Unfortunately, my daughter's friends tend to shorten it to Elly which I don't like - her fiance calls her Wee El which is sweet. But I still love the name and don't regret having called her Eloise.

Answer 72

My boyfriend was a godfather to a baby girl, and my suggestion about the name was Lina (it should be pronounced Leena..or something like that)

That was the name of my grandmother who died last year, and I loved her.

Answer 73

We named our son Henry after my late grandfather, but his other names are from my dad and also my partner's grandfather. So his full name is Henry Christopher Dennis.

Answer 74

My daughter is called Sarah-Jane, my middle name is Sarah and we thought we would add something else to it, it was only much later that I found out that my great grandmother's name was Sarah-Jane and her birthday was within 2 days of my daughters - coincidence or spooky?

Answer 75

Paige Danielle, Mackenzie Alexis and Nicholas Sean. They are all names that we loved and knew sounded good for our family. I couldn't image life with Paige, Kenzie, and soon to be Nick!

Answer 76

I always had a name for my first daughter from when I was age 14 its Paige. this name came from a programme big in the 80's knotts landing.

Paige is now 10 years old and realy suits her name.

Answer 77

I'll tell you about my siblings names. My Older sister Heidi Anne....Mom is a big fan of the name Heidi, and has been ever since she was little. Anne comes from wnating that name but not for a first name and Heidi Anne fits together perfectly. My Older brother's name is Timothy James. My mom was amways a fan of the book of timothy in the Bible and james was a good follow up for a middle name for a boy. Now my name, Holly Danielle. I love my name yet It's wierd being the youngest and when I asked Mom where my name came from she had no idea it popped into her head one day...The previous plan was to name me Danielle but that day when Holly came to her she said she knew it would fit me perfectly.

Answer 78

My Son is called Dylan Matthew, Dylan because I love the name and Matthew is my husband's name.

My daughter is called Melanie Rose, again Melanie because I have always loved the name and Rose after my great nan.

I am very proud of both my children's names and they are the only Dylan and Melanie in their classes at school!

Answer 79

dont have a kid but called Jade Lorna, apparently my parents were watching neighbours when my mum was pregnant with me and saw the name come up on the credits and saw Jade come up as one of the cast members names. My middle name came from a magazine or something like that and decided to stick it in in my name.

Answer 80

I called my son Brodie Thomas-Lee

It took me 2 days to pick a girls name i like and 7 months to pick a boys name, i actually couldnt find one that i liked and was a bit different, i was watching a programme called The OC and seen one of the main actors was called Adam Brody, so i imporovised it a little. Thomas is after my grandad who passed away when i was 7, and Lee after my big brother who passed away when he was 11 hours old.

I also had the name Tegyn-Lee Georgetta if i had a girl, again Lee after my brother and Georgetta after my nanny.

xx

Answer 81

I dont have a child yet but if i have a girl her name will be Breyana Claire....Breyana as it is unusual, plus i changed the spelling from Brianna, Claire after my partners older sister who died of a brain tumour when she was 9. If i have a boy, i am not decided on the first name yet but his middle name would be either Edward after my stepdad who died 8 years ago, or James after my bio father (his middle name) after i met him when i was 18.

Answer 82

I called my son Evan Paul Charles.



Evan is a welsh name and my partner is welsh. Also I absolutely adore Lee Evans, Paul is after my brother and is also my partners middle name and Charles is after my Grandad who sadly passed away last year and Evan was the first born into the family since his death

Answer 83

My eldest daughter is Sara-Louise (not Sarah, and lots of people call her that and it drives her mad) we chose this as it is a version of my mothers name (Sadie) and Louise after my sister. Daniel John Andrew- hubby picked Daniel John after my father and Andrew after hubby. I had a little girl that I lost at birth and we named her Amber-Leigh Hope, we chose Amber as she would always be a light in our life, Leigh we just liked and Hope because we would have Hope forever. Our last child we named Aiden, this was after my Nan, who was Adeline shortened to Ada, we chose the en spelling at the end to resemble my name -Denise and we already had a Dan, and his middle name is Richard after his paternal Grandfather.

All of my children suit their names, although I wish I had given Dan something a little more unusual.

Answer 84

I was a silly 20 year old when expecting my first child. In the charts at the time was 'I don't want our loving to die' by The Herd. The lead singer was Gary Taylor, who I thought was very handsome. Having the surname Taylor, I called him Garry.......poor thing.

Answer 85

Hi.

After four miscarriages and six years of trying to have a baby, I eventually gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.

We never thought the day would come, so you can imagine our delight.

My husband and I wanted a name that would reflect this Miracle Baby, so we chose the name Aisling.

Ailing, is the Irish name for dream and that's just what she was to us, A Dream.

Even now, eight years later I still pinch myself when I look at her sleeping.

Cheers,

CATHORIO.

Mckenzie Christopher



why?



We went through what felt like hundreds of name and a relative said 'i can picture you calling him Mckenzie' while i was pregnant. at that moment he wriggled round like a fish out of water and noticably turned and wiggled when we said it. don't get me wrong, could be a complete coincidence for all i know but when he was finally born he smiled a little when we called him mckenzie. so it stuck!!



and the christopher is his dads first name. each son in his family has taken their fathers first name as their middle name

Answer 89

Jonathan Charles, after my father and father in law.



Matthew Anthony, We didn't have a boys name, as I was convinced it was going to be a girl, but when he was born the doctor said 'absolutely bootiful, Matthews turkey roast' ( from the Bernard Matthews advert). So he was named after a turkey advert. My mum chose Anthony.



Daniel James, We had decided on James Daniel, but my husband changed them around when he went to register the birth. As he thought they sounded better that way around.



Antonia Rebekah Jane.(Twin 1 )We adopted twins and the name she had been given by the birth parents was Toni, so we decided to give her the full name. She chose Rebekah and Jane is after my sister.



Kimberlee Elizabeth Anne.( twin 2) Kim was the name given by the birth parents so we used the full name. She chose Elizabeth and Anne is after my other sister.

Answer 92

I have 3 children we tried to pick slightly "dfferent" first names for the UK and more traditional biblical names as middle names. After the first 2 I decided I wated first names that also doubled as roman numerals to create a lucky number tatoo!

1. Caleb Thomas - Caleb as my partner was reading Middlemarch and liked the name of that character we then also found out the meaning was believer and liked it even more, Thomas was my grandfathers name. He will have a split personality though :-) as a believer doubter!

2. Isla Elizabeth - Isla as we both just loved the name and thought it was pretty, Elizabeth as sounded good with first name and was traditional.

3. Ike Samuel - Had a real row over this one as I was dead against Ike at first but as time went on began to be persuaded, now am really happy chose it as suits him, I like the meaning "laughter" too.

Answer 93

My son's called Oliver James. Oliver because it suited him when he was born & James is my Dad & brothers middle name. Liked the name Finlay but it means 'fair warrior'. Although he was blond I knew as he got older his hair would turn darker the same as his Dad's did so that ruled that one out.

My daughters name is Freya Louise. Freya's a delicate sounding name and she's a petite little thing & Louise is my middle name. As it turns out, Freya was the Norse Goddess of love & war (and where the word Friday comes from 'Freya's day') and it definately suits her. One minute she's telling me she loves me & the next stamping her feet in a temper. Don't you just love 4 year olds!

Answer 110

Noela Jade(Gaelic origin-first name) after my husbands Irish grandad Noel.



Brendan Reece (also Gaelic origin-first name) loved the name, picked it when pregnant with our daughter actually.



15 weeks 3 days with #3, and If it's a girl we'll be naming her Cordelia Grace (Gaelic origin-first name again), my husband loves the name, and I like that it's a strong nice name that is virtually 100% unused in the U.S since 1940. After that, it nearly dropped off the map. Superstitious people beleive it's an unlucky name because it was used in Shaekspear's King Lear...and the girl was killed. I am not that superstitious and love the name. It's one of 2 that we liked a lot that would keep all the kids with Gaelic origin names. If it is a boy this time ( urine test says girl...ultrasound on the 22th to find out for sure), then we haven't made a final pick. We like Cordell...but aren't sure if we'd go with that.

Answer 111

I don't have children. But my mum named me after Sharon Macready from the tv series the Champions. My sister Paula from the tv series Daktari. It was a lot of years ago.

Answer 112

When I was young, I had chosen baby names for either a boy or girl, what woman doesn't, so when we got pregnant I thought I already knew for certain. (Asher William for a boy - William is my husband's great grandfather's name or Jada Mackenzie for a girl). When the ultrasound showed up pink, I told my husband what I was naming her no matter what. He hated it but I am stubborn. As the days passed something started to change in me and the decision I had made at such a young age began to nag at me. I just wasn't the same person anymore and so this name didn't seem suitable in reality. So I buckled down and started a new name search to the relief of my husband. This was very tough work because every name that I suggested, my husband didn't like at all. One day I just thought of Mia. I asked my guy about it and he said, "Well, it's not bad."

I jumped on it and shouted "Done! You can't take it back now!!" He tried to retract it but it stuck and as the due date came nearer and nearer I was still sticking to it. I named her Mia Kennedy Charlotte. He was still on the fence about it until he went through labor with me. After that he just said I could have whatever I wanted. She is six months old now and her name suits her perfectly.

Answer 113

No kids yet but my name is Katie Jo Ashley, my sisters are Krista Joy Nicole and Kelsey Beth Rena, my brothers Weston Brian (middle after dad goes like that all along my step-dad's side) and Nicholas William (middle after Grandpa).

Isabelle India-Skye.
