NO...We just picked the names we loved ..hoping that they would be happy too!!! :-)

27 years ago i picked the name Tasha because i liked it, but the hospital assumed i wanted  Natasha , so that was the name that went on the birth certificate.I didn't bother correcting it as it is just as nice as Tasha.

We called our Son. ALISTER. KYLE Being "Scottish Proud of our "Country and names.

I chose the names of my children just because I liked them, my son  Daniel (after Daniel Boon ) my childhood hero, and my daughter Alecia, after one of the child actors off little house on the prairie, I did consider another name for my son, but was turned off by the meaning, I had a friend that called her daughter Carmen, after Carmen Miranda, she had seen the movie the day before her daughter was born.

My daughter was named Robin because her mother always liked that name. Shortly before her birth her mother questioned if she would be teased about being a "bird". In her teen years she had a huge banner in her room that read BLUEBIRD. Son's name was my choice just because i liked "Michael". I never paid much attention to the meaning of names.  BTW: I never liked my name when I was a teenager.

My first daughter Donna was named after Donna Mills, my youngest after Erin Grey of Buck Rogers, little did i think when they were older they would say 'WHO?', their middle names are Jade and Amber respectively, i did not realise at the time these are Australia's colours. (Green & Gold). When i look back, it is so corny.

My first daughter has my nick name as a child and an Irish name.  Her name means Purity.

My second daughter has an Irish name ... her middle name is Elizabeth after my favorite Aunt's middle name.  Her name means Purity

My son has an Irish name which means "Tall slender lad" (Which he will be if he takes after his Dad) and his middle name is the middle name of his Father's , his Grandfather's first name, his Great Gradfather's middle name and so on.  His name also adds up to a 9 9 9 in numerology, just as mine.

I put a lot of thought into names especially their first names.  I didn't want first names that were too odd and also not names that were popular.

My Great Aunt does not like the Irish names for WW2 reasons and so she applies a French accent to my Children's names.  She is living in denial!

Did it really matter?... the jury is still out.

Yes, everyone was chosen for a special reason.

My first son-liked it and also a cousin had that name.

My second son-second name of one of his grandfathers.

My third son-liked it (and also a famous saint, lol).

My fourth son-decided to give a nod to my heritage.

We named our 1st daughter Ina  because both my wife and I liked it and 2nd daughter Barbara because all the of us liked it...

I named my son: Jack Joseph Scott Harlan. Jack is my dad, Scott is for my mother's name, and I've always liked anybody named Joe. We called him Joe.  P.S. Don't ever give your child an extra name....

I named  my first child right after she was born...I'd wanted to name this child Breeze. However her father did not...so I slammed his 2 sisters' names together to form Breshell!But she prefers to be called by her nickname!!!Breeze! HaHaHa!My second has part of my mothers' Russian name Wasilena shortened!The first was born in April and when asked what her second name was I asked what month it was and said "That's it!".My second childs' middle name was a friends' name whom I adored in my 20s...Gayle!  Thanks for asking!
