Hello! I appreciate any advice you can offer!
This is my first child and possibly my last - ha! My husband has two son's from a previous marriage that we have full custody of. My husband and his kids all have odd names (DH - Reade and the boys are Chandler and Chase). He is pretty adament that he doesnt want a nice normal name like Matthew or Christopher and he wanted a CH name to match the boys but I dont want to do that. This is MY baby and I dont want to give it a CH name just to match his. So what we thought of and life for a boy is:
Owen James (I thought of this... now my husband LOVES it and it set on it)
or possibly Shane Patrick
For a girl were set on Kara Rose. My mom is deceased and her name was Kathy and his mom's name is Laura so we came up with KARA - KA for my mom and RA for his. Rose was my mom's middle name. So thats nice right?

Thanks so much Girls! You guys offer great advice!
We REALLY wanted to name the baby Owen Patrick... but our last initial is E and then his initials would be OPE and I'm afraid the nickname "Opie" would stick! My oldest step son started refering to him as OPIE as soon as I mentioned it so I HAVE to change the middle name and James is my Dad's middle name. We'll see... Your right about the Shane name though with CH and SH... my sister named all of her kids (4 kids) - plus her and her hubby all had SH or CH names... stupid if you ask me!
We rarely call kids by their middle name anyway so I'm not worried about the Kara Rose - its just there in reference to my mom. We've had the name Kara picked out since we started dating! HA! So thats a sure thing!
Thanks again for all your help and advice!
Karen
