My daughter has never quite come to terms with her name. We almost decided to extend the theme to future children with Shawnee, Cree, Dakota. I'm glad we did not. Daughter 2 was Victoria Joy--obvious meanings and she loves her name--we've always called her Tori. #1 son became a junior--or C.J.--and he now goes by his real first name. That's all well and good until he gets in trouble with the law and all of a sudden my husband sees his own name in the paper in the police blotter. Something we never considered, of course. The last child was a made up name, Greydon. We still like it, but of course, he has to spell it quite often.<br /><br />The funniest comment I've heard lately was someone said their great-grandmother said, "My goodness, girl! You're not naming a goldfish!"

Our aim was to have two names for a boy and two for a girl (because not every child *looks* like an Eilonwy!)<br /><br />I think crossing off Graham because of Kobe Bryant is working too hard. You can't assume that the celebrity you like (or dislike) will be a big thing in five or six years. I think the family connections are a great thing. <br /><br />By the way, our girls are Abigail (several years before the curve on that one - she's in college) and Dorothy (which still hasn't 'come back'). A few years after Abby was born we agreed that Amelia should have been on the list, but by that time... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640007.post-28292123173894426382012-04-11T02:26:31.082-05:002012-04-11T02:26:31.082-05:00Our babies were all nameless for a few weeks after...Our babies were all nameless for a few weeks after they were born! It bothered everyone else rather than us.... we just needed to see their little faces to see what they looked like! :)Truly Myrtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11546389402524629209noreply@blogger.com
