Name the Baby!!

I just realized both of the girls have "ken" in their names. What about Kendra?

That's by pure coincidence. I actually have a friend named Ken who continues to tease me about naming this one Kendra. And by friend, I DO NOT mean Ken King, the turd. I mean, my friend, Ken.

My Michael will always be called Mikey. Poor child. He's 22 and I still call him that.

Same here!

Then I'm sticking with Laurel DeAnne. Incidentally, my daughter is sitting next to me and her middle name is DeAnne.

Just thought of one more ... Carolina "Crandall" (sounds better with the real last name).

I've always liked that for a first (girl) name, and not because I live here.

We like it, too - but do you think she'd get called Carrie or anything like that? I definitely don't like that for a nickname!

What did he say about Collette?

 

[camily]

I am fond of "Danielle"... It is strong yet elegant... it offers a cute nickname of "Danni" and is also a way of honoring her favorite, most wonderful Auntie Elle. Most importantly, it can be "hollered" with force.

My oldest's middle name is Danielle!

I know a Collette!

How about Jorge?

Not if you establish early on that her name is Carolina, and you call her that. Of course, when she's old enough, she may prefer a nickname. :shrug:

I've always been of the mind that if I hear a parent/relative call a kid by a certain name (i.e., full name or nickname), that's the preferred reference to said kid.

Shaquanda is a good one. One time the people at work forgot my birthday so went to Food Lion to get me a cake. They had one on special that Shaquanda's mom never picked up, so they bought it for me. It was about four days old. It was a really special day for me.
