We've picked these...just running them
| Wed, 01-05-2005 - 8:31pm |
Hi...In my family everyone has two middle names so we have decided to continue this tradition into it's fourth generation...The sex of our baby is a surprise and we have chosen not to run the names by our family members except I did tell my mom...She likes them...Let me know what you think!
Boy-Aedan Austin John Albright
Girl-Elizabeth "Libby" Rose Arnette Albright
Austin is the name of my sister's husband who was killed in a car accident in October and John is my DH's father
Elizabeth was my great-grandmother, Rose is my maternal grandmother and Arnette is my paternal grandmother
Please let me know what you think...I know Aedan has gotten quite popular but where we live no one has heard of it and it was the only boy's name Dad and I agreed on

Why did you spell Aidan that way? It looks silly, and since there aren't many Aidans in your area, there's really no reason to misspell it, is there?
I don't mind the other names, although neither Austin nor Arnette are my style. If it were me, I would try to find names that were close in form or meaning, or use a middle or even last name in lieu of them. For instance, my great-grandmother's maiden name is Whittington, which I may use as a middle name for my son or daughter, or I may shorten it to Whitt.
In terms of the 4 name situation: do you really think that's a good idea? What will s/he do about filling in his or her name on standardized test forms? And, what about the monogram? I love monograms on little girl diaper bags and dress collars, but if she has two middle names, it will be impossible.
Just some thoughts. I love Aidan (NOT Aeden...looks like it would be pronounced either Eden or Adden). Also, Libby is my favorite nickname for Elizabeth.
I love both your names.
