Childs names?

My son's name is a combination of his father's name, and 3 grandpas' name. I select their names and Im fond of spanish names. They're so masculine.

We have 5 children and coming up with names is always a challenge after all they will be stuck with them for the rest of their lives. My husband thought this was his place and named all but one of our children. Of course this was to my knowledge and acceptance. I named our last child which he actually tried to beat me to the punch and she had the wrong name for about 1 hour while I was in recovery. Of course I corrected that really quick..lol.. Our second son has a name that can be either a boys or a girls name and family gave us a hard time about that choice. Everyone has to have their oppinion you know. We named him Jade Allen under the definition of hardest stone known to man and one of the most beautiful. Unfortunately most think of it only under the definition of being jaded. Which I am sure you know means being wronged by a woman or a woman who is loose with her ways. He recently asked us why we chose this name for him and was happy with our reasoning. Although he gets very upset when asked his name and people assume he said Jay. He will correct them right off by expressing the d. I guess you just never know if what you choose will be the right one but in our case all are chilren really fit their names and the definitions there of. best wishes

my first was named after his dad, my second and third, my husband picked both their first names and i picked their middles. the names we picked for my second and third were just names we liked, no special meaning behind them!

We picked our son's name while we were just dating. He's named after each of our grandfathers. We got lucky that we had a boy, because we had no idea for a girls' name. Oh, the name was picked 11 years ago, and DS is almost 15 months old. :-)

Before our first child was born, I told my wife I would like to have the childs initials apell out my grandfathers name - ART. So that is we came up with our first childs name. Our second childs name has both me and my wifes fathers name in her first and middle name. When it came to our third daughters name. I picked the first name(I just liked it) and my wife picked the middle name. Thats about it. Thanks for the topic, had to do some thinking to remember. lol

Choosing the Right Baby Name! There are many things you have to do once you find out you are having a baby. One of those things is choosing a name for your baby. Some people know right away what they will name their baby, others struggle until the last minute to find a name.The last thing you want is to rush in choosing your baby’s name and regret the decision later on. For children their name is a very important factor on how they are treated at school. How many times have you know a child be bullied for their name? Or found out one of your friend’s uses their middle name because they hate their first name? A badly chosen name can lead to years of grief for a child.There are some basic rules that you should follow when choosing a name. 1. Don’t feel the need to choose a very unique name, such as made up ones . Many people are tempted to do this as they feel it will make the child stand out from the crowd and make them feel special. However it can often be frustrating for a child when people are unable to pronounce their name. Or even worse if fellow class mates find the name funny and decide to makefun of it. 2. If you want to use an unusual name for your child balance it out with a normal name.So you would either have a unique name for the first name and a normal name for a middle name, or vice versa. This then let the child chose which name they prefer to use, they may love having a unique name to stand out from the crowd, or they can use a normal name if they are a little shyer. 3. Check the initials of the names you chose,if it spells out anything especially funny words (to children) then you can guarantee children will pick up on it and use it as a nickname for your child. 4. Find out the nicknames of the chosen name, often a nickname is far less preferable to the original name, and people will frequently use a shortened name over the original name. ------------------------------------------------------------ Your simple guide to choosing a baby name was written by Wawaw and Smythe. Once you have chosen you baby name don’t forget you need to have all the accessories for your new born. Thanks

That is an interesting one. I am expecting my first child soon and yet I haven't figure out what names to give him. Yup, the scans showed that he is a boy! I am now leaving the naming part to both my wife's and my parents. Maybe they would come up with something special!

I picked out both my sons names. my oldest sons first name i got from the bible and the middle name just came out of nowhere. and my second son i got from my fav country artist and his middle from my fav basketball player.. lol

we in India seek blessings of our holy books according to the religion respectively. we do prayers then open the holy book. and according to the first letter of the para we select options starting from that alphabet.

I just thought of different names and toby sounded cutest. If I would've had a Girl her middle name was gonna be of my Godmother who has now passed away because she next to my mom who also has passed away was a wonderful role model. And couldn't use my mom's name because sister did that and I hated my mom's middle name its the same as mine. And Nanny 1st name isn't for me so choice was her middle name if I had a girl but as far as my son name just Toby to me sound cute and not as common as John.

i am not yet married but when i do and have kids i and my wife will write a seperate list of 2 names each to give to the baby. then we pick just one at rambom

When I was preggy with our only daughter, it was me that decided on the names if she was going to be a boy or girl which my hubby agreed to since he's horrible at picking names. It was soon after I found out I was preggy that my dad was found to have cancer and didn't have long to live. He had a pet name for me that he would use at times thruout my childhood and that's what we both agreed on for her 1st name. Middle name is same as mine. If she had been a boy, name would of been Brandon Joe. Brandon cause I just like the name, Joe is my hubby's middle name.

before the names were selected with the name of favourite actors or god.but now the names are selected by surfing the Internet with the meaning..people doesn't like old names they look for something different and stylish..

my youngest name is shinichi...how did i come up with her name??i got it from a cartoon series..then i look at the internet it means belief....

In China,the most child's name contain various meanings such as beatuiful,happy,kind,clever and so on.Parent will look up the dictionary to choose their child's name.

actually when i think about any name then at that time firstly i will see the meaning of the name which we goin to call a baby.so i feel meaning of any name is very important.for example the name is "onkar".It is the another name of god ganesha,thats why the meaning of name is very important.
