Where your baby's names derived from?

My husband and I looked through a book with a list of suitable names with very good meanings when we name our children. Unlike other parents who would combine their names to form their baby's name, we want our children to have good meaningful names.

My childrens names came from a form of my name because I wasn't being very creative. I now have a huge list of names that I want for my future children. Future! Because as luck would have it, I can't get pregnant anytime soon :( Happy myLotting!

Okay, my daughter is named Kathryn Teresa. Her name is derived from a favorite great-aunt of mine and also after Mother Theresa because she was one of the women that was the most inspiring to me. I knew that my first daughter would be named Kathryn Teresa from the time that I started thinking about being a mother myself. Now with my son, his name is Paul Thomas. I knew from the time that I was eighteen years old that I would name my son Paul because I promised a friend of mine's parents that I would name my first-born son after their son after he passed away. The Thomas part of his name came from his father whose first name is Thomas.

Here a baby's family name usually the same as its father,and first name often comes from books, dictionary,poems,etc,.

My baby girls name is from the Bible, she's one of Job's daughter. It say's there that after Job's testing and God found him still faithful, God bless Job more or double that what's he lost. God bless him with three daughters and I named my daughter after his second daughter. I love her name very much! Thanks for sharing.

I would suggest you consult a numerologist and know the first alphabet of your baby's name. That is considered lucky for the baby.

WE named our first daughter after the Beach Boys song Help me Rhonda. My second child was my husbands sister and my mother. My son....we just came up with a name...Jeff and he's not named after anyone.

My boy was named after me, and from yhe word ynyr which means honest. Ynyr originated from Ireland, it was also a name from that country but not as popular as the name John. Right now, when people here my son's name, they keep on asking how to pronnounce it properly and how to spell it right. Hehe, at least now people can hear that name again.

My daughter's first name came from my mother's best friend and my exhusband's mother. Her middle name is my mother's and mine middle name. My son's first name came from my father's brother and my mother's brother's name. His middle name is a combo name. The first name came from his father's grandfather and brother. The second name came from his father's other brother. So, overall, all the names are in the family. However, when I was still in high school, I had already picked out 6 names--3 boys, 3 girls. When I had my children, I only used 1 of those names. Just like I changed my mind about having 6 kids and only had 2.

My oldest daughter was named after a character in a novel that I had written and a popular actress. My step-daughter was named after a character in Final Fantasy VII.

hello there, i have 2 child. a boy and a girl. my girls name was a combination of my name and my husbands name. it sounds nice and unique. whereas my sons name is derived from my father-in-law's name. he is the young version.. some people get the name from the bible personality.

My husband and I wanted a girls name that had several nick name choices, including a boyish one in case she was a tomboy. Her name is Alexandria. We also traveled to Egypt and stayed in Alexandria. She goes by Lexi.

Hi montevilla! I was very young when I gave birth to my babies. So I would consult way back then my sister in laws about the names. They are religious so they suggested to tke the names of our babies from the Bible. My son being the eldest was named after a king and my daughter's name was taken from the twelve nation. My daughter is always complaining about her name actually, because every time we go to the church, the priest would always call her name. Her name is always the content of the readings from the Old Testament. Have a nice day!

My child's name is derived from the Bible. My name is derived form the Bible as well and so I choose name my child from the Word of life. I guess it could be a good reminder for him in the future.

I like the tradition of naming your child after the grandparents because you show your respect to both your husband and his family. My daughter got the name of her grandmother and I gave my son the name of his father. Names mean a lot to me because each name has a particular vibration and carries a special energy when pronouncing it.

Well, I'm not a father, so I do not have children and do not risk making the problem even have to give a name to my son. I wanted to answer this question, as this case belongs to my personal name. My name is Alessandro. do you know why? Simple. When my mother was a child, he saw on television a movie of Alexander the Great and the Macedonian inside her said, "When I'll have a son, I'll call him Alessandro." And now here I am!

I only have one kid and he's 2 years old now. i named him after my uncle and my husband, so he's name is Carl Percinette, the Carl comes from Carlito, my uncle and the Percinette is his dad's and my husband's name.

Yes my baby's name was derived from my partner's name and my name. I also want to add other name but my partner didn't want he just wanted it to be 3 letters name so that our child will write his name faster. He said we did not yet know if the child is a fast writer or a lazy one. Because he is a boy. ^_^

I think my children's name will be derived from books. But his/her last name is derived from me.

My baby's name was derived from my wife's name and a celebrity name..
