How did everyone come up with the names and spelling for their childrens names

I named my Daughter Jaymee Elizabeth . i always loved the name Jamie just not the spelling so i looked up different ways to spell it and how i spelt it is how it said to pronounce it (Jay-Mee) and as for Elizabeth its my middle name and it flowed really nicely with Jaymee
Had Jaymee been a boy her name would of been Joshua Logan . Joshua after my boyfriends friend that died as a child infront of my boyfriend (got hit by a car) and Logan from the movie X-men (wolverine) im in love with Huge jackman so i wanted to have a name sake for him lol ,
 
I had my muchal scan yesterday and the technician said that the nub looked like a girl :happydance:, so she's going to be called Madeleine May, Madeleine is my nans name, and May is my other nans middle name, I would have used her first name, Iris, but she hated it and never used it herself. (she died two years ago). xx
 
I'm in the process of picking a name for my unborn child. My girlfriend's auntie said to me some weeks back "choosing a name for your child is the hardest decision you'll ever have to make". Initially I didn't agree but I'm beginning to understand! Her words did not help me and I suspect this post will not help anyone reading it, but my point is: its a tricky one!
 
We both liked Marlo (as in Marlo Thomas the actress), but we liked the spelling Marlowe more. Joan is my mom's name (she passed away the year before Marlie was born). We had two names before she was born, Marlowe Joan and Adelaide Rose (Adelaide is the girl's name in Guys and Dolls and that musical reminds me of my mom) and were going to decide when she arrived. When she was born, after a few hours, every time I said Marlowe Joan, she would make a face that reminded me of my mom so we went with that.

**To add to this though, a few months ago, my sister was pregnant and looking through her old book of baby names which my mom had been highlighting with names she liked before she passed away, and Marlo was highlighted! So I think she helped us make a good choice.
 
Mu daughters name is Leigha-Rose June
My sons is Thomas William

Chose Leigha as we always liked the name Leah, but we spelt it Leigha cos its english and i think its prettier. Rose was cos my mum always wanted to call her daughter rose but my dad said he didnt like it...so that was my tribute to her. And June cos thats the month she was born in and her two great nans on my OHs side is called June.

Thomas William - hes named after my grandad...hes the best man ive ever known and i idolise him. (These names r his middle names)
I wanted to spell it Tomas, but Mike wanted it the traditional way.
 
We haven't decided on a name yet but we do have some options ;

River - from the film serenity and firefly
Izabelle - just because its pretty :)

Middle name is defiantly Audrey after dh nan

If its a boy its Jacob - from stargate
 
lets see with Jacob my DH wanted his initials JLJ and I was dead set on Levi so he said how bout Jacob and we put it together and it worked perfect except he was originally supposed to be called Levi but it didnt happen :( but he is definatly a Jacob! with this one DH said how bout Lucas and I loved it but his middle name has been a challenge but finally we have decided on Charlie- my DH suggested it and my mom said it was my great grandpas name so it has meaning and its the only name that sticks out to me so he is Lucas Charlie :) also I found out that DH suggested Lucas because he wanted to have a Jake and a Luke but thats how a man thinks :haha: he also wanted to say the famous saying "Luke I am your father" from the star wars movies in which he says to my bump all the time :rofl: it gets annoying :wacko:
 
alfie is my foster dads, dads name
Lewis foster dads middle name
william OHs middle name

Amelia name i loved
rose oh loved
faith we both liked
 
My son is joshua-lee , Joshua just because it's not used much at the time i picked it & because any shortened version i have to like which alot of other names i dont, & lee is one of my brothers who i've always been very close to.

I'm calling this baby Jaxon-Ted , Jaxon because i like the name & the spelling is different to jackson ( i cant stand jack ) again i like the shortened version with jaxon, of jax . Ted is my grandad who died, he was everything & missed dearly. He was called edward but actually know as ted. So Jaxon will also get j.t :)
 
My son's name is going to be Ares Aiden. Ares as in the god of war (daddy picked it out). It's pronounced aries, but we liked the spelling better that way, and the other way it changes the meaning from the god of war to the ram, as in the zodiac sign. Haha.
 
my little girl is Sophie leigh, it was going to be lily but her dad didnt like how it flowed with his surname (men :P) so after a convo with my mum where she was telling me that if she was to have a child again (even tho impossible :) ) she would call a little girl Sophie as soon as i heard it i thought its perfect! Leigh is after my mums first child that died 3days old, he was called lee, it all just seemed to fit :) and to top it off she suits it all perfectly lol.

For the next one (hopefully not too far away) for a girl Isobelle Joan, Isobelle because its pretty (and turns out to be my great grandmothers name so im getting brownie points there!) and Joan after my nan who died suddenly 2 months ago. For a boy Jack, mainly because we love the show 24 and we thought if we name our son jack he will be a cool dude like jack bauer ;). Undecided on a 2nd name but my OH said Byer aftre his grandad but mainly because its similar to bauer :S i guess im lucky its not aftetr the entire liverpool squad!

hmm sorry thats an essay!
 
DS is Oscar Blaise - Oscar cos we wanted a traditional name and were looking at Henry or Percy then we were shopping 2 days before I had him and a lady called her son over to her & his name was Oscar. We looked at each other and both said "I LOVE that name". Blaise comes from the lead singer of Iron Maiden which is daddy's fav band!!
If this LO is a girl she will have Alice as her middle name as I fell in love with that name a few weeks ago then found out on Monday it was my nan's middle name (she died the day before I was born!) She can't have it as a first name cos it's too similar to mine (Alissa).
Sorry for the essay!!
 
Ours is a family name. (I fought to use it. DH was of the mind that a boy should have his own name but I won. Mwahahahaha :rofl:)

DH's Great Grandfathers name was Jack Nelson Houck
DH's Dad was named Jack Nelson Houck
DH is Jack Nelson Houck Jr
So LO is going to be Jack Nelson Houck III

I also like it because it is a strong manly sounding name, IMO. :thumbup:
 
I'm expecting or first in December. It's a girl and also to first grandchild.

If been thinking of maybe calling her " Shé " pronounced "shay" like say with a h.
My mom's initials were S.H.E. - Susanna Hanna Ellis. Also because my due date are being calculated from 7 March witch is the the same date that my mom died. As can be expected my dad loves this idea.

But it's not final yet...
 
My daughter is Juliette Britannia because my husband is english and he must have been feeling homesick. Other daughter Ava Nicola (SIL is Nicola, not a common name in US) and David Joseph is our sons name because we could not agree and David is my husbands name.
 
My son is Leo George.

Leo was my Grandads name and it is just a great name and George is OH's middle name too

x

I always loved Ethan for a boy after i had a bratz doll called Ethan when i was about ten :rofl: i love James to go with Ethan but OH likes Ethan Thomas
