Childrens names

He'd be ahead of the pack learning to write his name...

I often wonder, do parents really not realize what they are getting their kids into when they give them bizarre names. It seems to be getting much more common around here. One of the oddest I have heard lately is first and middle names of Truly Blessed.

Well, at least it wasn't Truly Scrumptious.

Make sure to check what the initals spell, . . .

My wife and I named our son "Timothy Ian" partly to make his initials spell his nickname. His college formed their network users' names by appending a three-digit serial number to the student's initials. Tim's friends thought it was "really cool" that his user name was "TIM001".

In my father-in-law's family the tradition of naming the first boy for his grandfathers was very strong, so he was rather annoyed that we didn't name Tim for him, and was only slightly mollified by our not naming Tim for my father either. My father-in-law's given names were "Grayson Hyman".

Anyone who remembers the TV sitcom "All in the Family" may remember that Archie wanted his grandson named "Archibald Stanislaus Stivik" but Gloria caught on to what the initials spelled.

If it's a girl name her Rebbecca, Oleatha, or Brenda. If it's a boy name him Leon, Conrad, or Cris.

Seems like you and other half are having a bit of a battle ------ So BLAIR would be perfect.. For interest it is a battle field.

My boy is named Blair .... I wanted to call him Battlecat after the He Man's pet cat.

I got the Battle bit in and she did not know until he was officially named...

Well, I'm almost positive that Alan means handsome in some small part of the world, but my wife insisted that our son's name start with a K, so my choices were very limited...I chose Keenan (Little King) and the rest is history.

In order of Birth:

Krystle
Kyra
Keenan
Kaylie

Early congrats on your pending arrival and God Bless the little children

Michael--Man of God, I think--is a really good name, especially if you follow it with a strong, masculine name like Ebenezer (my great-grandfather's middle name), Everett (my father's name), or James (yours truly).

In the end, you'll do what your wife says, so it's best just to sit and listen to her. Especially if she's pregnant! If you have a favorite Celtic name (Hamish, Liam, Ian, Angus, etc.), they're all great, but you might want to work on Mom a little in advance to sell the deal.

My only real advice is to take very good care of Mom, tell her several times a day how great she looks, walk with her, and pamper her. Pregnant women always look good--and need to know it--and are a special gift: they're carrying your child.

God bless and good naming!

I am partial to my 2nd son's name:

Rogan - The boy's name Rogan \r(o)-gan\ is of Irish and Gaelic origin, and its meaning is "red-headed". He is a toe-head now but did have a slight red tint as a newborn.

Unique but not "over the top".

We didn't want our son to be one of multiple with the same name in school.

My first son is a Jr. - Stefan Jr.

I heard a whole list of worst names EVER from a friend of mine who's wife works for a children's aid organization. Please, whatever you do (I know you wouldn't, just making a point,) do NOT name your kid "Glock".
