Aw, that's my name, although a different spelling...

I like Faith for a girl, and Jamie for a boy. Deciding on them two was a struggle, so if I am to have a second child (or even a first!!!) I had better have one of each gender!

 

[Armywife84]

You made it, Tanz!

I like Violet also. And Ryder for a boy, so darling.

 

[Armywife84]

Oh I like Malakai reminds me of this cute boy in that film,,,, or was it a book emm, good name x

That film wouldn't happen to be Children of the Corn?? Malakai was the ring leader. Creepy movie.

Close, it's spelt Kayleigh. I do like my name... I didn't when I was younger though because it was so different. I like the name Marley, but it reminds me of my friend who's surname is that. Kaylee is a wise choice ;-) hehe

Hi everybody
My list of names is very long, especially for boys:
Sebastian, Elias, Johannes, David, Mathias etc
For girls: Helene, Hannah
(I always dreamt of a big family)
BUT then we have started the adoption process and guess how chocked I was the other day when I suddenly learned that in this country the biological mother often gives the child its first name. What a dissapointment.

Don't forget though that you do not get the orignal birth cert - a new one is issued with your names as parents and you can change the child's name at that point.

My grandfather was named Jules Jeffrey xxx when he was born (I have both his original birth and adoption certs), but his adopted parents called him Edward Arthur zzz and that was the name he had until he died. I have his elder sister's birth and adoption certs too. Her adoptive parents kept her birth names - obviously she had their surname not her birth one though. I only found out about her after my grandfather had died. Both of them were adopted out when they were about 6 weeks old.

So, if you do adopt you aren't stuck with the birth parents' choice of names, although if you're adopting an older child it might be confusing for them to change names.

 

[Amber3]

Dear Kia
Hmm, maybe you are right that there is a way to change the childs name if we do not like the name. Or at least have the name that the bio-mum chooses as a middle and not first name. But here in Austria where we live and are going to adopt it was made very clear to us the other day that it is expected of us that we let the child have the bio-mums chosen name as the child's first name because it is the only thing that the biological mother can give her child (in other words we would be bad people- so to speak. if we changed the name that the biological mother had given)...
I don't know ... somehow it is a painful thing for me to not be able to even decide "my" child's name.

[JustKia]

Wow, that's kinda hard.
Maybe you could have a "nick name" you know like Polly is a common nickname for Margaret or something along those kind of lines.
To know that you were not using the birth name people would have to know what the birth name was.
Of course it's also common for children to be known by their middle names instead of birth names so maybe you could work around it that way.

FX'ed it all works out for you hun

 

[Amber3]

Do you know people who are called by their middle in stead of first name? That is certainly an option, but I guess I would worry that the child would later think I was mean for not using the mane from his/her bio mother....
I know I probably also think too much about this issue. After all I believe God will give us the child we are meant to have and if that child comes with a name it will also fit I am sure. I just need to relax and trust. Thank you for cheering me up and for being on my side

I really like Ava - but would be very surprised if Mr Urch likes it.
We're struggling for girls names, we had almost settled on Meghan a while ago - but then I started teaching and most of the Meghans I taught (and there were a lot of them) were horrid, so that's put be off somewhat.
I floated Inge today but was met with a resounding 'no'

A boy would be Fintan (the t is silent)

 

[JustKia]

Do you know people who are called by their middle in stead of first name?

I do! I'm a family historian and there's quite a lot of it goes on. It can get so confusing when the birth certs give the name as "Henry Robert" but the baptism records the name as "Robert Henry". More recently, my dad's younger brother is named Alan after their father but he is known as David - his middle name.
I jiffled my own name when I married. I always hated my birth name first name (it led to a lot of teasing when I was a child) but loved my middle name. I've been known as Kia for over 10 years now and so I switched my birth first and middle names, added Kia to the beginning and kept my maiden surname as an additional middle name

 

[Amber3]

Thank you so much Kia for sharing your input. The idea to put the names opposite on the babtism record is very interesting. After all, when the adoption is final and only then, we will babtise the child I guess. And then maybe we can just switch the names.
Thank you
Amber
