How did you name your child????



  • I used a family name!
  • I picked from a book or website!
  • I got advice from this board!
  • I heard this name on the street!
  • Oh No! I still don't have a name picked!

I used family names, but also bounced ideas off everyone on this board (and I'm doing it again for #4!) since I use family names as middle names this board was a good place to see what's popular or not and get opinions on what sounds good. Conversely, if you don't like popular, just poll.. and pick the last voted for!

JMHO, of course.. :)

DD Kathryn Liesl - Always loved Catherine but preferred the Kathryn spelling as it's more true to the way I pronounce "Catherine" and K initial also honors her father (DH Karl). Liesl is a name that is in my Scandinavian-German family quite a bit through the years but it wasn't chosen in honor of any one person with the name.

DD Natalie Rowan - Of course I was familiar with the name Natalie...but for some reason while I was pregnant with her I heard it somewhere and it just seemed to take on a whole new appeal for me. We had been considering FN Mallory or Gillian for her, both of which I love, but for some reason Natalie just felt right and I loved the sound of sisters Kathryn and Natalie. It also reminded me in a subtler way of Katharine Hepburn and Natalie Wood, two of my favorite actresses. Rowan I read in a baby name book in the "boys" section, and fell in love with it, but I though it was WAY too feminine for a boy. Oddly enough, soon after that I found out it was the name of Brooke Shields' baby girl. But I used it as a MN anyway!

my first is chandler elizabeth-i picked her name looking thorugh the boys section and thought it sounded much cuter for a girl her middle name is after my best friends baby who was born 3mths early and passed away 3mths later.mt 2nd is karlee jamesyn-she is named after her daddy(kevin karl)and her papaw jim(james) and kennedie isabella is something that i both names i liked together and wouldnt budge on it so hubby caved.
