I thought it would be fun to share the stories of your kid's names. What are they? Why did you choose the name? What does the name mean?

I will start:
Eliza Gean, she is named after my Grandma, it means consecrated to God.
Julia Lynn, husband named her after the Beatles song, it means happy, which fits her to a tee! She is very calm and a friend to all.
Chloe Katherine, named after a distant relative, it means of the earth, it fits too, she is always gardening and digging for bugs to love.
Emmeline Lula, named after husbands grandma, means healer of the universe, which I thought was so beautiful, I hope it is a spiritual gift of sorts for her, to heal.
So, friends share the your stories and names!
Kate

Corey Lee...no story just a name I loved that my first husband and I could agree on.
Casey Dean ...I loved how Casey sounded with Corey, and Dean is after my dad
Justin Randolph...adopted and he was 15 so we didn't change his middle name
Summer Amelia...adopted and we changed her middle name..she is named after her Foster mom
Travis Averill....we changed his middle name..he is named after my grandpa
Erin Cecile...we changed her middle name ..she is named after my beloved grandma
Dalton Timothy..we changed his middle name ...he is named after my husband's younger brother
When we adopted the kids we let them pick a new middle name (from an approved list) and they did a good job. Travis was only three so we picked his. Dalton has never met his uncle Tim that he is named after yet, but his best friend is named Timothy and that is why he picked it. Erin actually picked Cecile ..my grandma's named because it is the same as my sister's little girl RAchel's middle name..she thought it would be neat to be named after HER!! Oh well
Kate..I LOVE the name Emmeline!! How cute!!

Jamie Lee... she was suppose to be a boy (ultrasound even said so!) and was going to be named James Lawrence..my dads middle name, and my mothers maiden name. When they came to fill out the birth certificate I hadn't thought of a girls name yet so I said the first thing that came to mind..Jamie, and Lee which is my middle name.

Sara Nichole... no story there. We wanted to name her something that was origional to both families. Found out later that DH's grandmothers name was Sarah, with an H.

Samuel James.. after my dad.

Hannah Marie- Hannah is a bible name and Marie is a family name
Grace Elizabeth are both family names.
Emily Anne- Emily, just cause I liked it. Anne is a family name.
Our last name is Slovick, so I wanted to make sure the girls had feminine names and not like Brunhilda.

We have an Emily Ann too, without the e.

Emily because I liked it, and my MIL middle name is Ann.

Most of our children were named after family. Those families
had names from the Bible.

daughters name is Britta, we thought we were doing a good thing & I honestly love the name. BUT then the water pitcher thing came along. The name is Norweigan, German and they say Swedish. My husbands side of the family was German & Norweigan and we loved the name AND it was different. Now that she is older the teasing has stopped. About 5 years ago I actually spoke to a girl with the same name her family is from Sweden & it's pretty normal there.

she selects wool and flax and works with eager hands Prov.31:13

Ooooh how fun, here goes!
Darby Katherine, When thinking of names I was watching Darby O'gill and the Little People, an old Irish movie, and asked my DH (joking) to name a son Darby..." NO son of mine will be Darby!" So I let it lie until I watched the Pelican Brief, the main Charachter-a woman was Darby, We liked that with Katherine, also an old Irish favorite and we both had great Aunts by that name.
Debrah Joe, was expected to be a boy, just a deep gut feeling, so we did not concider names, She was David Henrny III, Well when she was delivered and the nurses asked what her name was I burst out crying, I even asked the doc to check her sex again before I believed she was a girl, I was OK with a girl, I was just so ashamed that I had not given thought to her name. My Husband hugged me and said it was OK, her name would be Debby Joe, He wanted a Little Debby Snack Cake, and Joe after her mommy! My best friend in grade school was named Debby so I agreed. It was our Weeding anniversary, so I asked him if she was enough of a gift from me, she was and still is a great gift.
Dale Micheal, Was either David HenryIII or Dale, (Like Dale Evens, not after her, but she proves Dale can be a woman's name)We had picked our First two boys names before we were married, this was our second boy choice but we had decided on 4 kids, so to fit in this choice, to honor a favorite uncle Dale and his son Michael who died of MS and my Grandfather Michael, Our little Girl is Dale Micheal.
Deloris Rose was named after a very dear friend named Deloris and her beautiful Gardens full of Roses, Sometimes we call her DD, But she is always my little Rose Bud.
Diana Marie was tough! DO you know how few Girls names there are that start with D?? Diana was the legendary goddess of love but we added the Marie to remind her and all that Mary was the real Goddess of LOVE. Now Diana is truely a Lover she gives the very best and most hugs.
Finally we had Little David Henry III, my girls and I joke he should be David George( after Great Grandpa, He is so Curious!)
NOw we hoped for a Baby Brother so little David would have a companion, So we picked Danny as a boys name... and it was a good girls name too! So when our little girl was born last month she was named Danielle Elizabeth after one of my favorite uncles and St. Elizabeth, Mary's Cousin, the first person to recognize Jesus as God in the Bible.
And that is Our Family of LadyBugs!

Well, I have Megan Lesley (she was supposed to be a Jacob) and Sydney Linnea (she was supposed to be a Zachary). Only kidding. I'm so happy I had daughters. Well - I had been reading the Thorn Birds around the time I had Megan (spelled Meagan in book, I think, but my first husband couldn't spell so I thought I'd keep it simple). And I always thought my name was so common so I came up with Sydney or Kyle for girls names on the second one. Took one look at her and said, "That's Sydney."

PS: First husband never could spell their names right!

Zachary Mulligan: because I wouldn't name him Max or Harry or any of the other family names my old relatives were throwing at me. The Mulligan part is the last name of my best friend in college who I lost somewhere after Zach turned 5 months. He got to meet the baby, but he was HIV+ and disappeared after that. It still makes me sad. I'm afraid he died alone somewhere and I have no way of finding out.

Calla Lindsay: My first husband and I read through 3 baby books all the way through and then started going backwards. When we got to Calla at the end (beginning?) of the last book, we looked at each other. He hated all the names I liked; I hated all the names he liked. Neither of us hated this name, and we actually liked it at the same time. Lindsay is his mother's Scottish clan and her maiden name. I would have named her Loretta, but that was vetoed by everyone in the family....But Calla suits her perfectly - like the pure flower she is! (with the black nailpolish and bellybutton piercing and all LOL)

Our ten-month-old daughter is named Linnaea Grace. My grandfather, of Swedish descent, had a cousin named Linnea and I always loved the name and the flower, Linnaea borealis. We went with the "-aea" spelling after much hemming and hawing on my part. I liked "Grace" because of its meaning within Christianity as well as its old-timey connotations.

Melinda Grace - Melinda was my paternal grandma's middle name (Mary Melinda) I don't remember her, she died when I was about 2. But we share a love of home and family and cooking - that woman cooked at a train station in Boston, and apparently kept all her recipes in her head! Grace - for the blessings of God's Grace in my life - especially having my first child at almost 40, and having a very easy pregnancy!

Orrin Tucker Dean - Orrin is from a Louis L'Amour (The Sacketts) and my hubby is a big fan. Tucker - it's the one name we could agree on - I liked Tanner or Dalton, but hubby didn't. Dean - from an old cowboy friend of mine. He let me purchase my first horse by cleaning stalls and baking blackberry pies. He passed away last fall, and I miss him every day!

There are so many names I love - especially the "old-fashioned" ones like Emmeline or Winston - they bring to mind a simpler time - I sometimes wish I'd had about 10 kids so I could use all the names I love! (Then, I wake up and slap myself, LOL!!) No, just wish I could have "convinced" hubby to have kids when "the clock" first started ticking - I get frustrated with my kids sometimes, who doesn't, but I always recognize the great blessings and the privilege of being responsible for 2 new lives. God is good!

What beautiful names and stories to go along with them.
Here are mine:
Charles Nathan - Charles for my grandfather and Nathan for my best friend's nephew, who was the cutest little boy. I just knew if I ever had a son, he would have to be a Nathan!
John Albert - John for my husband's father, who died the year before John was born, and Albert for my great-grandfather. If he was a girl, he would have been Avalyn.
Ainslie Kimball - the only girl. Must be the farmgirl in me- Ainslie means meadow, and Kimball is my maiden name. Seventeen years ago you never heard the name Ainslie. Now......

David Josiah is named after his Dad and his best friend, Joe. He is the 4th generation of David's and since there was already a David Joe we had to come up with something else. We had tried every variation of Joe we could come up with and were having no luck until one night we were watching Young Guns on TV and heard Kiefer Sutherland's character say that his name was Josiah "Doc" Scurlock and we both started babbling at each other. We headed out the next morning to rent the movie and when we were sure of the name that was "THE" name.

Was funny though when we came to visit my Grandmother....very very very Southern Baptist....and she remarked on how neat it was that we'd named him after 2 kings (especially since she gave up on my religious education years ago after throwing up her hands and declaring that I'd try the patience of St. Peter himself) and we just stared at her, making the appropriate noises about "yeah, um hum, sure".

Had to whip out the Bible and check it out when she wasn't looking.....sure enough it was in there. I don't know if anybody ever told her that wasn't where it came from or not but we're definatly not going to.


Autumn Susanna Cheyenne is named after the old western, Cheyenne Autumn but we switched it around because it seemed everybody was naming their babies Cheyenne at that time. The Susanna came in because Ds is named after family and I wanted her to have a family name too.

My mother's middle name is Sue and his mother's first name is Sue so it seemed appropriate. Only problems was that I wanted to drop the Cheyenne but Dh wasn't going for it.

We argued for months about it and even went to the hospital with no resolution and it was getting pretty ugly so I decided that since we couldn't agree and neither of us would be happy with the other choice to give her both. It's been a wonderful choice to as she fits all 3 of her names to a T and would have been incomplete with out them.

Babies have strokes too.....

My oldest son is Sean Robert. Sean is pronounced Shawn. Originally I wanted Jeremy Robert, but his Dad wanted Jeremiah ( after the movie Jeremiah Johnson) I agreed begrudgingly (SP?) and figured he'd get called Jeremy. Then one day a few weeks before I was due we changed it to Sean. Since his dad's name is John( Sean is Gaelic for John) and last name is McDermott. We thought we would go with the Irish. Robert is after my Dad. Sean has always been very defensive of his name and Irish heritage. When he meets someone with his name he always wants to know how they spell it. He feels Sean is the correct way of course. He also showed his family heritage by having Mom make him a kilt with the family tartan plaid which he wore to prom his senior yr. Birthday is 3-7-78
#2 is Jeremiah James. He's called J.J. I lost out on this one. His Dad was still stuck on the Jeremiah thing. James is after his paternal grandpa and uncle. The JJ nickname was due to the fact that bro. Sean could not say Jeremiah. Birthday 3-7-80
That's right they have the same birthday. If JJ had waited 46 minutes it would have been exactly 2yrs apart.
#3 is Patrick Timothy We were going Irish and figured we keep the trend. The only problem was Daddy wanted Timothy Patrick. I decieded he got his Jeremiah so I got Patrick Timothy this time. He does not use a nickname but goes by Patrick. When signing his artwork it is P.T. McD.
Birthday is 2-15-82.
#4 is Casey William. Again we stuck with the Irish except this included family. Casey was named for great aunt Elizabeth Casey and William was my grandpa. Both had passed away the year before Casey came. BD Is 10-27-84. This name worked well as from a very youge age he has always loved trains like Casey Jones. Funny how that works out.

I never liked my name, Theoanne so I tried to give them interesting names but ones other people could pronounce. Sean Had problems with People calling him Seen, but even when he was little he always told them it was Irish for John and that was his Daddy.
This was fun I've enjoyed all the stories. Jenny I see you have a Casey too. Good choice.

Oh by the way I was named after my Grandma who was Theo Gertrude. Her Dad was Theodore. So I guess it just rolled down.

My dear miracle daughter's name is Makinlee Georganna. We tried for 3 years to get pregnant. I knew this would probably be our one and only child and I wanted her to know where she came from. DH loved the name McKinley but I wanted Kaylee so we compromised spelling her name Makinlee. Lee is my madien name. Georganna is after my grandmother who was like a mother to me and my best friend. She passed away and was buried on my birthday the year I was pregnant. Her name was Georgia Lee. Anna is after my DH's mother Ann who was killed by a drunk driver when DH was 13 years old. She was killed the year I was born.

I always thought my boy would be named Levi. However, when it came time, the name had already been used for BIL son, so we had to start over. we struggled to find a name, we wanted something different, but not super teasable. During lots of joking we spotted a business called Wesson Optical. Wesson was jokingly mentioned, and ended up as West. Which became fitting as my husband's home state was in the mid-west, and we lived on the west coast. We then were joking about the middle name of coast, but thought for sure that would bring on teasing. We finally choose O'Pal, for my MIL whose name is Opal. We pronounce his name something like Old Pal. His name is West O'Pal. Our daughter was supposed to be Alexandria, but for some reason it didn't fit. You know sometimes names just don't fit. Struggling and again looking for something different, but not outrageous. She would have been East Opal, if we thought she could make it through childhood with out becoming a joke. It just sounded like a jewel to me. One evening while watching the news, I caught an interview of a women who was wearing a name tag that said Ariana. I had really no idea how the name was pronounced but I really liked the way it looked. So she became Ariana Marie. We pronounce it as Airry Anna. Marie is my middle name, which I dropped when I was married. The name Alexandria, which I always loved, was given to the child I lost.

hello to all, and wow what beautiful names!
I have four children
my oldest is now 16 and his name is Johnathan Michael (not very original except the spelling which was a mistake) now he is "John"
my oldest daughter is Paige Emily. Originally she was going to be Grace Elizabeth (Grace after my mother who died when I was 24 and Elizabeth after a friend) but my pregnant neice wanted Grace too, so I spent all night looking for a name that was strong and yet feminine.
Dear son no. 2 is Elijah Emmanuel. Named after two wonderful people who were inspirations to us both.
Dear daughter no. 2 is Summer Butterfly. Funny the reactions we get about that. Older people think it is aweful, the young people think it is "cool". She is named Summer as the rest of us (me, dear husband and all the other kids) are all born in the first two weeks of January, she was supposed to be born the middle of June. She came two weeks early. Butterfly was picked as I had just finished reading a book by Julia Butterfly Hill about how she lived in a tree for 2 years to save it from being cut down. I admired her conviction and wanted to pass that on to my daughter. She has a boy in her class that was born withing a month of her named Cree River.

Neither of my girls are named for anyone.

Grace Hannah means the same thing in Greek and Hebrew, "Grace from God", and though I am not Christian, it means a lot to me because when I had her, at that time in my life she was my saving grace and my grace from God.

Zoe Fae is excellent, IMHO, Zoe mean "life" in Greek and Fae is Latin for "fate", where we get the word "faerie". She was not planned and by ALL accounts I should not have gotten pregnant. I chart and my numbers were dead on as usual, as I run like clockwork. So, we figure that someone in their infinite wisdom deemed her to be.

SHould we have another, which is the plan in a year or two, a son would be named Jasper William Dustin. Jasper because it's a great name, WIlliam after my grandpa and Dustin is a family name in Rob's family.
A daughter would be Margaret Lola after His grandma and mine, both deceased.

Love reading all the names. I'm surprised how many are named Grace. I really like that name.

Oldest daughter--Stacy Marie--although she was going to be Dana Marie until about a month before she was born. Marie is part of her Grandma's name, RoseMarie.

Oldest son--Graham Scott--Graham is my mom's maiden name and the Scottish clan we are most active in. He has always gone by Scott because that's what his dad wanted to call him(the only way he would agree to Graham). Now that he is an adult he often goes by Graham. And he was married in a kilt--the Graham plaid.

Younger daughter--Sheila Rose--the other half of the Grandma's name. I love Sheila's name. My friend Carla and I came up with that one Sunday afternoon. Until then we had one name only, Sean for a boy or a girl.

Much younger son--Cameron Michael--Cameron for no particular reason except we liked it and Michael after one of his uncles.

Two grand kids(both belong to Sheila) Aiden Allen and Emma Rose. Not crazy about the name Aiden but it fits him. Love, love love the name Emma Rose. In fact, the other grandma and I were both very disappointed(for a short while) when we found out Aiden was going to be a boy because we both wanted an Emma Rose.

Hey Katie..I have a Summer too! She is adopted and came with the name, but of course I like it alot. Great name. She was born on the last day of summer. At first I thought it a tad different to name a kid Summer who was born in late sept..until I realized.

I also loved hearing all the names, so many absolutely beautiful names. My husband wanted to name a girl Sayward, which I totally hated,would not have it......so my first born (a daughter) got named Angela. Then I couldn't for the life of my come up with a name that I felt went with Angela, so I went through the baby book of names and came up with Theola.......she hated it for a while, but now that she is grown, she likes it because it is different. My two boys are simply, Lucas and Tyler. No middle names, but I wish I'd given them my family names. Which would have been Lucas Lorenzo and Tyler Harrison.

I think I'll write some of the names down so I can give them to my daughter for whenever she decides to give me a grandchild!!

I've got:

Andrew David: means Brave and Strong, Beloved of God. I picked Andrew when I was 12 and knew his middle name would be his dad, whoever he turned out to be LOL!

Celia Christine: Celia from the book Celia's House by D.E Stevenson, a favorite growing up. And Christine after my mom

Clara Irene: means Clear and Bright and this baby gave us clarity to be sure. She's named for a twist of dh's mom, Carol Irene; I liked Clara better. She had heart defect and died at 9 weeks, radically effecting our lives ever after.

Wheaton Thomas: Wheaton we just loved and Thomas is dh's father. We joke about his becoming a Supreme court judge, "The Honorable Judge Wheaton Thomas Graham" :D

Rowan Kenneth: means "red haired man" apprpropriate as we are all redheads! (www.sixredheads.com) Kenneth after my dad.

But the dreamers of the day are dangerous people because they enact their dreams into reality with eyes wide open.
