Answer 2

I had afew names in mind,but also looked at some baby name books as well.There are so many different and wonderful names,I had a hard time deciding which ones were the best.I wanted to make sure that the names would sound good together with the middle and last names too.If a name sounded weird when putting it all together I went on to look further.
I picked Samantha for my first child,Ryan for my second and Brooke for my third.

second child i used my best friend's last name for his first name and my grandfather's name for the middle: Chace Howard

Answer 4

when my oldest was born, we had names picked out based on our fathers middle names, several ultrasounds showed a boy. Surprise, we had a girl and no name. There was a radio on in the delivery room and the song Amanda, by Boston was playing, so that became her name along with her moms middle name. When my youngest was concieved my wife had a tumor and I knew there were to be no more kids, another girl so we named her Nicole, the femine form of mine and my grandfathers name.

For my sons name I went to a book but my daughter I had her name picked out when I was 12 I named her after my great grandmother, grandmother & mother

Answer 6

I picked out my daughters name. I named her after the two most influential people in my world. My best friend in high school taught me how to be a good person and my best friend after high school taught me how to have fun so I picked the first name of one and middle name of the other. Kerri Dale. Love it.

My husband and I picked them (1 for a boy, and 1 for a girl) ourselves the week we found out I was pregnant. We didn't tell anyone the names, or the sex of the baby until our son was born and my husband went into the waiting room and announced "It's a BOY!!"
