Middle names

Our family has always used middle names to tie in to the family: one of the parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, or even the women's maiden names (maternal or fraternal grandmothers).

Good Luck!

I thought about that, since it is my middle name, but hubby didn't like it at all. *sigh*

Can you "mine" any of your other family members names (or middle names) for potentials?

And I haven't seen a rather simple suggestion, Ann. Breanne is nice, but if hubby thinks some names sound too "uppity," how about a simple Amber Ann? (Or Anne....)

Happy Hunting!

I like Amber Nicole, it's my neice's name.

I like Amber Renee...... Well, that could be because it's
my middle name is Renee, too... uh-hum

My mom had to come up with 2 sets of names (on the fly) when I was born. Back in 1967, the ultra sound either wasn't invented or didn't work. She thought she was having one child the entire 9 months—Instead, she had twins! Quickly, mom managed to sling a couple of names with matching initials together:

Kimberly Renee
Kenneth Russell

Well, that had absolutely nothing to do with Amber's middle name… sorry…got off track there for a second...

Back to Amber's name…

For the heck of it, I took a "Guy" vote. My husband and brother liked Amber Danielle ...

My brother wants me to throw this in:
My brother's daughter's name is Francis...we call her Frankie. He wanted her name to be Brittany , but our last name is Spears... So, that didn't fly :laughing: Frankie's Grandpa is thrilled...Why? His name is Frank. Luckily she looks and acts just like a Frankie!

Take a look...Does she look like "Francis" or "Frankie?"

Kim-

I'd say she looks like a Francis, because of the red hair. My mom's maternal grandfather was named Franczek (I believe, my genealogy is buried in my closet) but when he immigrated from Poland, it was changed to Francis. And he had red hair, so...

Well, whatdoyaknow! We think that her red hair came from my (Fire engine red head) mother, whose mother (another Fire engine red head) was from Poland also...her maiden name was Gorski... Red Hair ......Poland.....very interesting.....

This is so exciting. I love babies and children in general. My suggestions are:

Amber Grace


Amber Rose


Amber Denise

Missy, that's a good one! Amber Rose does have a nice sound to it. It actually sound like a sophisticated actress name....hey, you just never know!

There's also:

Amber Ashley (the double vowel way....)

Amber Danielle is cute.

I'm kind of thinking Amber Rose just glides so well together.

I like the Amber Rose idea too! I will have to run it by hubby tomorrow.

Kim....your brothers girl is ADORABLE!! I LOVE her hair! My best friend has red hair, and I have always loved it! She looks like a Francis, but Frankie is really cute, too!!!!
I'll bet your mother was in shcok when she had twins!!!! I was born just two years before you, and I don't think they did ultrasounds or amnio's then either. Mom was 46, and they had no way of testing to see if I had anything wrong with me, because of her age. The doctor tried to talk her out of having me, because the chances were so great for Down's syndrome.

Like all of your choices, I especially like Amber Nicole.
How about Amber Rose? I love that name too!!

I can relate to the pregnant in summer dilemma. My son was born Aug 30, 1996 and it was stifling during my last trimester!!!!!!!! I almost died from the heat, it was awful. My daughter was born in November of 1999, and although it was hot for me in that summer it wasn't nearly as bad since I was only a few months along.

Go swimming often!!!!

I personally think Amber Skye has a beautiful ring to it! It makes me picture a beautiful sunset.

The name dilemma hit me, too. Not twins but, We wanted a girl, the second time. The only name that we had picked out was "Amanda Marie".

In the delivery room, the doc said, "Its a boy." I looked at my (then) husband and said, "Oh, s&*#. What are we going to name him?"

Mark wound up with his father's first name and my maiden name (Thomas) for the middle.

Hmmm what about:

Amber Faye
Amber Paige
Amber Caitlin
Amber Kay
Amber Beth

?????????!!

Rhea, I love Kay! It's a middle name I plan on using when I have kids.

I really like it too, though I don't think I'd use it as it reminds me of some girl at school who I didn't,...uh... "like" much.. :laughing:
I also like the name Caitlin.... but I like it as a first name But there are SOOO many names I like... I could go on forever!! (Lets hope I never DO have kids - they'd all get 6 names!! hahaha :LOL: )

Cindy!

Same thing happened to me in the delivery room! First, they induced me because they wanted the baby to weigh approx. 8 1/2 pounds. I had difficulties with my first little guy and he weighed in at 9 lbs 10 oz. The doctor figured we wouldn't take chances again and wanted to aim for a smaller baby. So.......Nicolas (who was supposed to be named "Emily") came into this world weighing 10 lbs 7 oz. Double shocker. I ended up borrowing a baby name book and he went without a name for almost 24 hrs!

Deb, I don't know your last name but, watch the initials. Sometimes, they spell out something that will get the kid teased a lot.

My initials from my first name + maiden name + married name are kind of strange because they end up spelling out LSD.

Debby, you have so many good suggestions, good luck picking out a middle name!

I like that one...
