Kicking around names for fun
| Sun, 12-12-2004 - 10:44am |
DH and I are TTC and have been kicking around names for fun...just to see what direction our thoughts are heading in. Today, we got talking about geneology and either:
A) picking names from the family tree (i.e. first born in the US)
~OR~
B) picking names from the countries our ancestors were from
Has anyone done this? Any suggestions?
TIA! :)

Well.....
I agree- it's good for the child & the family.
There is one name that my mother loves & it was/is my first choice of name for our future baby.
I may still select a name that doesn't reflect my mom's (grandmother of child) heritage- but it would be nice.
I named our dog furbaby after an ancestral reference & I like that a lot!
Dh is Mexican so I try to find a mn that is latin sounding. I figure my children will have a Mexican last name regardless so the fn doesn't necessarily need to be. I do however like haveing a mn to reflect that aspect of thier heritage
