We are pregnant with our first and are looking for ideas on designating each child we have with "something". For his family, his mom picked a song for each kid. For my family, my mom picked bible verses. We want something different. We were thinking of designating them with an animal. (i.e. Bear for strength, eagle for freedom or wisdom, etc.) We are very outdoorsy people. Does anyone like this idea or have a better idea?

Thanks for your thoughts so far. A little confusion though, this is the first child. So this is a tradition we would start in feb when I am due. We don't have any others yet. I appreciate the star idea but feel it is so commercialized. I figure this way each time they see one of these animals, it will be like their special moment.

WI Mom, didn't realize we had narrow minded people here today. 1) A commitment is not in a piece of paper but good for you if that is what you put your faith in.
2) Guess you didn't read the question thouroughly when I wrote FIANCE.

I love this Idea It's something special that you can have to symbolize that specific child., I did something similar. An Animal for my "boys" and a "Flower" for my girls. Nature is a great inspiration .
Good Luck
Wow people are neg. ! You do not have to be married to give a child loving parents get out of your hole people .... I just wanted to include in my post that I chose a mythical animal for my son Kinda a twist on the animal totem and although not as original as the boys flowers are a classical symbol for women, my parents always gave me yellow/pink edged roses on my birthday and special occasions.

In all this significant different swapping its continually the youngsters who lose out. undesirable little lad he's barely 5 and is being asked to manage yet another bloke and a couple of alternative babies who vie for his mothers attentions. If this bloke can not be greater expertise of him. circulate away, only talk being a competent mum on your son, you do no longer desire a guy complicating the difficulty.

well you could use animals or something like greek gods would work. or what my husband and i did was take all the letters of each of our names and rearrange them to make a meaning for each child. like each child has a different word for encouragement that's made up with the letters of our names. however, depending on your names, that can get tricky, but you can always use a thesaurus

The animal idea is great! Many ancient people would give their children animal totems as guides thru life.
