Your Baby's Name.

[aussiewillow]

Hello

What is your baby's name. Im trying to think of names I could possibly use (yes I might steal it) and the books arn't really helping. It may be useful for others too.. Did you go for a conventional or unconventional name, were they named after anyone or anything??

I used to be a youth worker so associating those names to those kids is also a difficulty I am having. Ie I won't name them "Chris" because he was a little SOB... that kinda thing

DS -
First name: Aricyn (Scandinavian - means the Eternal King's son)
Middle name: Michael (was supposed to be DH's name - but they changed their mind when his brother said he wouldn't talk to him if they named him that - DH also idolises Michael Jordan)

DD -
First name: Mehkelti (made up basically - loosely based on Mykelti Williamson, an actor, but he pronounces his name Michael-T - hers is "meh-kel-tee")
Middle names: Addisyn (cos we love the name and ties in nicely with aricyn) & Jayne (my middle name)

Steal if you dare!

As per my siggy for names...

None of my kids have meanings behind their names...except Chelsea....cos id always dream i was having a girl and i always called her Chelsea Rose....so when she arrived and was a girl....the name stuck!

aussiewillow - I had the same problem finding a name as I am a child care worker. We finally settled on Olive Mae about 2mths before she was born. We basically just loved the name then after she was born found out that DH's great great grandmother was named Olive and she had a daughter named Olive May so that was a huge coincidence. Mae is my second name. Naming is such a huge decision, we were still looking at boy's names while I was in labour and finally settled on Ambrose or Solomon. I like different names to what everyone else has and for boy's it has to be strong and manly, for girl's pretty and feminine.

Toby John- I just love the name Toby and John is my dads name.

DS name is L0klann William.

L0klann just because it was one of the few boys names we could agree on that fitted him when he was born & William is DFs middle name & a family name on his side..

DD is Emma Louise - I tried to find a name no one else in the family had, i have 40 odd cousins so it was no easy task. I loved the name and at the time the Spice girls were really big and baby spice was Emma. Louise is my middle name so i passsed it on down.

DS1 is Hamish Richard-David - quite a mouthful, I wanted something to tie in with HUbbys scottish heritage and loved Hamish. Richard is hubbys Dad and David is my Dads name. We thought we better get the family names in as he was the only boy and we hadnt planned on any others.

DS2 is Lachlan Stewart - Again i wanted a scottish name and i didnt think i could have a Hamish and then a John or more normal sort of name so we went for Lachlan, Stewart is Hubbys name.

Aaron John ....had this name picked out form day dot and it stuck!

Corey Jerome ....Loved the name Corey and Jerome is DH middle name!

[Ozziehoffy]

First... Joshua Mark, just because...lol.

Second... Oskar Levi... Oskar for German and Polish heritage - that's why we spelt it with a k and it's not an overly common name. Levi - my grandfather's name was Levison (pronounced with a short e as in levy) so we cut it down to Levi although I think the name Levison actuallly really rocks.

Aidyn Jackson.
- Aidyn because we both instantly liked it, and the spelling. Its irish for 'little fiery one'.
-Jackson after his dad.

Eva Harmony.
-Eva means 'life'. It was number 5 on our list the whole pregnancy, but seeing as we could never agree on any of the first 4 names, it came to grow on us.
- Harmony - after my sister.
So her name means 'Life harmony', which I think is pretty cool

Moving this thread to the Baby Names forum.

Jazmyne Louise - Jasmine is my fave scent & the name is so pretty. But I wanted to make it her own name, so I spelt it differently just for her.

Brianna Rose - DH picked Brianna. I thought it was pretty plain at the time, but I think adding Rose to it makes it more girly & pretty.

Jesse Andrew - Jesse is the name we had picked out for both the girls if they were a boy. When we finally got our boy it was the only name we agreed on. Andrew is XH's step fathers middle name.

Ds is Cody James. i had no say in that name as hubby named him, i wasnt around lol.. but love teh name

DD is Taylah Rose.. i liked taylah as it was different in teh spelling.
and rose was my great great grand mothers name.

DD was almost Isabella Rose. but we decided taylah suited her more

[Trillian]

DS1 is Lindsay Owen - no reason cause we didn't want to burden a first born son with a family name.

DD1 is Erin Kathleen - Erin we just liked and Kathleen is my mums name

DD2 is Paige Annette - Again Paige was just a name we both agreed on and Annette is DH's mum's name

DS2 is Alister Douglas - Alister was a name I wanted from the moment I fell pg and originally wanted Alister Luke, but DH hated Luke and wasn't keen on Alister either so I put the ball in his court and said unless he thought of something better, then Alister it was. He came round and decided he wanted Lachlan for a middle name (his middle name too) but when he was born he decided he wanted Douglas as a middle name, which is his first name. So Alister Douglas it was.

Aiden Walter- XP picked Aiden (I wanted Zekiah) and Walter's his great great grandfathers name. It was to include my side of the family as he has XP's last name

[Lozza]

My ds is Aston Maxwell - i just loved the name not sure if it means anything

[ShootingStar]

Jesse Tyler - DH suggested Jesse and i then loved it.. Tyler was the only other name we both liked.

Keira Ava - Keira i got from Olivia Newton John's character in Xanadu.. though on there its spelt Kira. I loved it from the first time i heard it. Ava.. umm.. well.. is Richie Sambora's daughters name lol.. plus i love the name and so does DH.

[Lani81]

Ava.. umm.. well.. is Richie Sambora's daughters name lol.. plus i love the name and so does DH.

haha i love bon jovi. i tried talking dh into naming the baby jovi if it was a boy, or bonnie for a girl. He flat out refuses. lol. he wouldnt even call our dog one of those names! i was most disappointed lol. I used to work as a kids photographer and once photographed a lil boy named jovi. his dad was a big fan. i thought it was the coolest thing ever! lol
