well my favorite name from when i was a teenager was Justin Michael, so when i was pregnant with my first son my hubby wanted a junior and i said no way, and i wanted Justin Michael and he said no way.............. So in Jan of 1999 Justin Michael was born to us,lol. Then i have Chase, Hunter and my lil one Brayden.

OVer the years i have had girl names picked out but that was always dashed out when all four times i found out i was having a boy,lol. If i remember right some of the girls names this last time were : Annelise, Olivia, Victoria, and i cant remember the rest,lol

Lol Thankfully I really don't like the idea of the passing down of the name, It's just so unoriginal!

For some people though their parents, grandparents etc mean a lot to them so passing down the name is very important to some people, it's not being unoriginal.

It kinda makes me think that you are living someone elses life. Taking there name, I mean when it is a family name passed down.

Mmm well I would have been proud to be named off my Nanas Plus I was very close to my Grandad so I would love to pass on his name. Different folks different strokes

I like everyone's ideas! We want our kids' names to be not too common (but not weird), timeless, easy to spell and just... names that we like. Elliott will undoubtedly have his name misspelled a lot, but it's one of those names that would be misspelled regardless of whether it's Eliot, Elliot or Elliott. We just think Elliott looks the most "complete" of the three. Its popularity has also been pretty steady over the past 100 years.

I am all for naming children after family or other important people. I wouldn't make my kid a junior, but we plan on all of our children having family names as middle names. Elliott will be Elliott George, George after Paul's grandfather and Molly will be Molly Roselaine, the Elaine part after my mother and the Rose part after my great grandmother/me (my middle name is Annarose and my mom's middle name is Elaine).

The other boy names we like are Felix, Orrin and Errol but Elliott and Henry are definitely the top 2 and I doubt we'll have more than 2 boys. We have lots of girls names we love, so if we were to have more than 2 daughters it would be hard to pick a name:

Aurora Lillian
Tallulah Phoebe
Phoebe ______
Eleanor (obviously not if we had an Elliott)
Linnea Marjorie
plus more...

I have more girl names than boys. Nicholas Gabriel and Mason Alexander for boys. The first one is Nicholas after a friend who died our senior year. Gabriel for my great grandfather I never got to meet. The second one just cause. Aaliyah Gabriella. Aaliyah was a singer I greatly admired and just love the name. Gabriella love it. Emily Rose cause it sounds so sweet. Elena is a name that I also like. Anwen. Need to find companion names to those. Have to have first and middle.

I've decided that if I have a son he WILL be being called David, and I don't care what the father thinks! Not that David is my favourite boys name, but I think its a lovely classic name that will stand the test of time, and its also the name of my Father and both my Grandfathers (when I was little I thought all men were called David!)

Other names I like are: Oscar, Christien, Liesel and Ruby.

My boyfriends name is David, I never shorten it to Dave cos I too think it is a lovely name.

 

[Kel4mum]

My two sons names are Callum and Ayden

My two daughters names are Shannon and Charlotte.



All my kids have middles names that mean something, Callum's middle name is Stephen, after his dad. Shannon's middle name is Rose, after my nan. Ayden's middle name is James, after my dad. Charlotte's middle name is Lisa,after my sister.



I also like the name Kian, for a boy and Lucy for a girl.
