Do you/did you have your children named already?

I doubt I'll ever have kids, given my age, but yes, I do have names picked

Girl -Bailey Rose
Boy -Dante

Haven't had a boy's middle name that just struck me yet though.

My first husband and I picked out James Richard and Christina Ann, for ours. Our son has always been known as "Richard".

After that, I wanted a girl. The only name, that we had picked was Amanda Marie. In the delivery room, the doctor said, "Its a boy!"

I looked at my s/o and said, "Oh, $#!+! What are we going to name him?"

Mark (for his father) Thomas (my maiden name) has worked out well.

well I had my daughters name picked out, and then my best friend TOOK her name right out of my hands, and named her daughter that..3 months before I had my kid. I was so insanely mad.

I had that name picked out FOREVER...and she stole it. Really. And she didnt even know she was pregnant untill she was 7 months pregnant...and I was only like 4 months. ugh...still makes me mad.

Anyhow, so we went with Madison Christine.

She WAS going to be Autumn Rayne (pronounced rain)
and other than that she was going to be Krystal Rayne

If it was a boy, he'd have to be named after his grandpa...which thank god I didnt have a boy, cuz he'd be Billiam joseph

Yup

Girl: Aubrey, for sure for the first name - middle name, I can't choose between Lillian or Maxine. Maxine has been in my family for 4 generations now, and is my middle name - but I love the name Lillian - thats my grandmothers middle name, she is my 2nd mom pretty much & I want to name my daughter after her too
I was thinkin about Aubrey Lillian Maxine, but that might be TOO much

Boy: Bradley John (Brad is my dad's name) or... Landon John

I don't think Aubrey Lillian Maxine is too much! I love different names.
I really like the name Brooke, but then her name would be Brooke Lynn....I don't know if it's too cheesy or not. My favorite names are Griffin, Chase and Hunter for boys, and Brooke and Ariannah for a girl, but I can't think of any more. I keep changing my mind!
A girl I work with named her daughter Nevaeh Destiny. Nevaeh is Heaven spelled backwards.

Daniel Arthur, Danny for short and Arthur after King Arthur.
Tiana Christine, Tiana because I have adored that name since I was 5, and Christine as a femine form of Chris (my fiance).

I think I really love the 2 middle names, I dislike John's mom, so I will NOT name any of my children after her!

I like the name Brooke Lynn!

One of our family friends wanted to name their child Brock, with the middle name Lee .... so when they would say their full name, it would have been Brock Lee.... (broccoli is what its supposed to sound like)

I might be mad at my parents for that one!

Oh, Gawd!!!! That's as bad as Dick Trickle!!!

Now thats BAD!

I had long since planned that Sierra would be my first daughter's name. Now that she is, I still wonder how it would be to have two little Sierra's running around one of these days! I'm undecided, and, for now, with no in the near future, suppose that's ok!

I am confident about the name Elizabeth for a girl, so lovely, as her first or middle name. For a boy, I've considered as a middle name passing on my Dad's name, Stephen, or a name from my Mom's side, Shelton. These are a just a couple of thoughts for now.

I would like my children to have unique first names, derived from the special derivative of the name.

I just read back over the thread, those are funny!

I guess when I was younger... I always thought about names I liked (Sarah & Daniel), but I/we didn't actually really start the choosing until I got pregnant.

btw... I don't have a Sarah or Daniel

I had my daughters name picked out for the longest time but I combined her last name after her father and I got back together he orginally wanted her middle name to be Marie but i wanted something that stood out more with Cheyenne

Cheyenne (after both our indian heritage(sp) Winter Dermody-Bradford

My ex husband and I decided that he would give our middle boy a first name and i would give him his middle name so we wnded up with

Hunter Alan (Alan was my grandfathers name)

with the baby we switched I gave him his first name and he gave him his middle name. I wanted him to have 2 middle names but that was thrown out i wanted to name him

Nathanael Wayne Casey Lewis ( you have tos ay it all together to get the effect lol)

but he ended up

Nathanael Wayne (wayne is my ex husbands dads name)

and dont anyone DARE call him anything but Nathanael he hates nate and nathan

It was many years ago, but yes, we had our children's names selected well before their births.

My daughter's name (Alicia Anne) was selected for a few reasons.
I found Alicia in a book of baby names (wasn't sure how to pronounce it as it wasn't popular back then), and then I heard it on a popular television show (a little girl with the name who was a child genious). I loved the sound of it, and so did her father. After her birth, Hurricane Alicia hit Texas. Lo and behold, the name took off after that and is quite common now.

Anne is my sister's name.

The two names looked really nice together written out (especially with our last name).

We did not know we were having a girl when she was born and had selected the name of Ryan Andrew in case she was a he.

When our son was born (6 years later), we came up with 2 new names. . .

Amanda (Mandy) Lee for a girl
Charles Zachary for a boy.

Charles is my late father's name. . .
Zachary doesn't have any significance, but we liked the name.

Once again, Charles Zachary looked great written out with our last name.

So there you have it.

Ironically, my ex husband remarried. . . . had 2 more sons, one of whom he named Andrew Ryan!! (flip flop of the boy's name we chose together years prior).

Umm well my kids would really have to have their names picked out depending on their fathers figure...

Boy: I havent decided yet.. but these are the ones i like...

Scott, Benn, Samuel, Liam

Girl: Emily, Melissa, Chloe

Not that I am planning on having kids in the forseable future!

Girls: Jasmine, Dana, Cheyenne, Yael

Boys: Andrew(Drew), Alexander (Xander)

No family names - just causes problems!

yes my husband and I started picking names when we first started going out.

For boys:

Nicholas Isiah Ritchey
Joshua Elias Ritchey

For girls:

Victoria Elizabeth Ritchey
Savannah Marie Ritchey

I named my daughter after my favorite Jimi Hendrix and Allman Brothers songs, The Wind Cries Mary, and In Memory of Elizabeth Reed. So she is Mary Elizabeth. I also had a grandother named Mary, and one with the middle name Elizabeth, but she would have had the name for my reasons, anyway. I was listening to my Walkman while in labor, and the first time I heard her cry, the intro to The WInd Cries Mary came on. I knew I had chosen well.
