Naming babies after family

[BrandiCanucks]

I'm usually pretty good at coming up with unique names that most people find absolutely fabulous. My two kids names are Zoe Delenda Jade and Isaiah Michael Phoenix. For a girl, I've chosen Anberlin Olivia Blaire for a girl, which I know that because this is mainly a UK website, many people associate it with Anne Boleyn. however, I assure you, it has to do with my favourite band, Anberlin.

So I have a girls name, and I think I'm settling on the name Christian for a boy, but can't, for the life of me, come up with unique middle names that people would find the whole name fabulous by. As such, I've been considering the middle names to be after his great-grandfathers.

This means his name would be Christian Anthony Manuel (Man-well).

What do you think of naming babies after family, and what do you think of the boys name Christian Anthony Manuel?

I love the name Christian Anthony -- and i like the idea of naming the baby after his great grandfathers..... (although i'm not personally fond of the name Manuel)

Sentimental, special names are great -- but what about your music related theme you have going??

DH named his 2 with middle names from the family as well.

I think it's nice, not keen on Manuel though, reminds me of Fawlty Towers!!

Christian is great, not keen on the 'made up' names

Which names are made up, coccy?

As for the music relation, all my kids would have a music delation. Delenda is the name of an album released by my daughter's dad's favourite band on the same day we found out we were pregnant with her, Phoenix is the name of a song on an album released a few days before my son was born, Anberlin is the name of my favourite band, and Christian is the last name of the lead singer of that band.

Oh, Anthony is one of the great-grandfather's, and Manuel (Man-Well) is the name of the other great-grandfather.

I like middle names related to Family.
