Question

What did you call them?

How did you choose the middle name?

Answer 1

My oldest daugher is named Leah Rae. She is named after my Grandmother who passed. My Dad named her. My Grandmothers name was Leena Rae, we called her Grandma Lee. I didnt really like Lee for a first name so I decided to call her Leah

My youngest daughter is Mina Grace. I have always loved the name Mina, I actually got it, dont laugh, from Bram Stokers Dracula. It was my fave movie when I was in middle school. The name Mina just stuck. My friend choose Grace since I couldnt pick out a middle name

Answer 2

Well, my husband and I had a hard time agreeing on boys' names for some reason, and Jackson was seriously the only one we both liked. So, when our son was two days old we finally named him Jackson Charles. Charles is my dad's name and we both had agreed early on to use this as the middle name because my parents had been so supportive of us, we wanted to honor them in some way. Right now we're pregnant again and thinking of names and so far it has been much easier. If it's another boy we are using my husband's name... this baby will be the fourth. If it's a girl we are between Heidi Anna and Eliza Anne I think. The first names are just names we have both liked and Anne was my great-grandmother's name and has since been used as mine and my mom's middle names.

Answer 3

I chose names for my girls that i fell in love with...my husband and i had to like the names instantly and make sure it wasn't one of those names we would get sick of so we would narrow it down to about 3 names for each baby and then call them by those names for a day and choose which one we liked best and felt a connection with!

I named my 5 girls:
Marissa Jade
Isabelle Alexandra....Elle
Cecilia Layne....Ceci
Sophie Monnet
Lucille Olivia....Lucy

And i'm pregnant with another little girl either:
Aubriana ______
or Alexia Rowan

And if it was a boy, he was going to be Nolan Gage!

Answer 5

We tossed around all sorts of names, from Finnegan, to Solomon, and Drake. Nothing fit perfectly until we were (no joke) watching to x-men cartoon,and Nightcrawler came on, and someone shouted "hey Kurt!". At that moment I knew it was the perfect name for my Little boy. It's also the first name of my favorite author, (Kurt Vonnegut) so that helped matters along as well. His middle name is simpley the result of having heard the name Mitchell, and thinking it was a good one. Plus we all have "M" middle names.

Answer 6

My daughter's name is Julianna I always liked the name Julianna, plus my moms name is Juliet and my little sisters name is Adrianna so its kind of a combo of the two.

My sons name is Giovanni which means John in Italian and my hubbys middle name is John and he is part Italian.

And I'm due in Dec. with our 3rd child and if its a girl her name will be Jasmine, my mom was going to name me Jasmine but she named me Jillian. I like the name Jasmine, and if a boy his name will be Jeremiah from the bible, also my brothers name is Jeremy.... anyhow the names just stay close in the family. That's how I came up with my childrens names :)

Answer 7

well my first son is Cyrus Dominick Orion. Cyrus is the name his dad goes by online and he loves that name so he wanted a son with that name. Dominick is a name I picked out for a future son when i was 3 years old. Orion because of the stars and the fact that I liked Men in Black at that time and so didn't his dad. He looks exactly like a mini version of his father.

my second son is Christopher Mark Allen. Christopher because he was born close to christmas and was a great present for me. Mark Allen because that is what my mom was going to name me if i was a boy. He looks like a male version of me.

Answer 8

My 1st son is Mason James-- He was supposed to be Dalton James but as soon as he was born and I looked into his beautiful eyes something told me he is not a Dalton he just looked more like Mason. James is my husbands first name
My 2nd boy Wyatt Linn-- I let my husband choose. He liked the name Wyatt (because of a movie called Pure Country), and his middle name is Linn because my middle name is Lynn and because this was our last child he felt it was important for this child to have part of his moms name like our first shares his.

Answer 9

My daughter's name is Kiersten Suzanne. Kiersten is the name of a girl I babysat when I was a teenager and Suzanne is a variation of my name Susan. Her nickname is Kiki ... after the name of a ballerina in a book that my mom used to read me when I was little.

For generations in our family, the mother passes on her middle name to her first born daughter as their middle name. Well, I don't like my middle name and I didn't think that it would mesh with Kiersten, so I changed it to a variation of my first name.

Answer 10
