Kid's names

[RoseRed]

I think Steveland is a marvelous name.

He said he DIDN'T have a warrant by that name... I think he meant it as an example, not the actual name of his kid

Bubba's name comes from a long family lineage of "Bubba's". The first Bubba in our family first immigrated from England to the US in the 1760's. And since him, there have been a Bubba born in 1788, in 1826, in 1839, and my Baby Bubba in 2006.

If he'd been born a girl, she would have been Charlotte or Emma, also family names with lots of history.

We wanted to name our son after my wife's grandfather and my great-grandfather, but that would have been a well known cartoon character, so we gave that as a middle name. If he has the personality for it and wants to use the middle name when he is older, he can.

My wife taught High School, so there were lots of names of students that she could rule out. We just went through names until we got to some that didn't offend either of us. We didn't believe in giving a weird name just to be different, so our kids have very "normal" names.

It is a great name for a boy, but you shouldn't have named your daughter Steveland.

I like regular, traditional names, so I chose one for my son. :shrug:

We want our baby's name to rhyme with our last name, so we're going to call her Deloris.

Prudence is not exactly a "traditional" boy name.

Is it a her? I missed the memo.

We don't know yet. It's too soon to tell, but according to the internet, its tail disappeared last week!

One of my kids' names is from my husband's family. It shows up twice in unrelated branches. At the time he was born, both the individuals with that name were still alive, but quite elderly.

My SIL, who doesn't like me said in a really snide voice, "Where did THAT name come from ?"

"Um, YOUR family."

No, but Amistad is. Right?

It was that or Merv.

I once knew a chick with an ethnic background named her twins -
pronounced phonetically OR-RON-GEL-LOW and LE-MON-GEL-LOW

spelled Orangejello and Lemonjello.. LOLOLOLOL

You know what store I love? Mervyns.

My Mom likes to buy me ugly shirts that are the wrong size at Mervyn's. Then I have to try to remember to take them with me when I go to California and return them. I always just end up donating them to charity.

How did you come up with the names of your kids? Did you use a baby name book? Family name? Just made it up out of the blue? I got my two son's names off warrants that I processed. I guess that's why both my kids have last names for first names.

first child my hubby came up with the first name I came up with the middle name. Second child I came up with the first name and he came up with the middle

The one girl name I like a lot is Brooke Lynn..

my husband and i couldn't agree on names so we wrote them down on paper and rubbed a dog treat on our hands and then threw the names on the floor and let the dog at them we used the first name he picked for the first name and the second for the middle name, fair right?

That is a pretty cute idea.
