What made you give your LO his/her name?
TYLER KEVIN JACK
For us we couldnt decide on anything biblical that we both liked except Malachi but we changed our minds at the last minute and Tyler was a name we both liked and actually agreed on. Kevin is my dads name and the name of a close friend of OH who passed away a couple of weeks b4 tyler was born and Jack is my great uncles name. we was going to call him jack but there are quite alot lil men with that name.
What about your bundles of joy??

GABRIEL ANDREW (not putting surname online).
Gabriel because we were watching The Patriot when I was about 2 months pg & my oh said "If we have a boy can we call him Gabriel...I bet you don't like it though" (after Heath Ledger's character). But I did like it so thats where Gabriel came from.
Also it is a biblical name & I like to think he is my little angel (and he is a very calm laid back baby as u all know!).
Andrew, because that is my OH name, and it seemed to go well with Gabriel. xx

Ohh good post.
Well we like what other peole call 'old fashioned' names so we had Alfred and Archie and similar on the list. When he arrived it took us a few days to decide and then we went for;
Alfred Stanley Henry
Alfred as we thought he could shorten it and my Great Grandad was Fred and he was a brilliant man. Stanley as that was his name as a bump-NO idea where it came from but it stuck!
Henry as we it was oh Grandad's middle name and they were really close.
Love Malachi-is it Irish? We had a few Welsh names on the list but chicken out at the end. Hopefully if there's a next time I might stick to me guns a bit more if you know what I mean x

Our lo's full name is Charlie Stephen David.
Stephen is my dads name and David my hubby's dad.
We called him Charlie just because i loved the name, and found choosing a boys name so hard cuz we couldn't agree on a name! If i have a girl next time, she will be called Paige Christina Jayne, middle names after our mums xx

LILY ELIZABETH
We always said if we had a girl she would either be Lily or Daisy but then we looked into it and Susan (which is my Mums name) means Lily in Hebrew so we settled on Lily. And Elizabeth is Matts mums name although she goes by her middle name so even though Lily is named after Nanny and Granny nobody knows unless they ask us, if that makes sense.

Bethany Eve
We both really liked Beth but not so keen on Elizabeth, so we went for Bethany instead. We wanted a one-syllable middle name to go with our surname and Eve just seemed to fit. I also kind of like the fact that they're biblical names, even though I'm not christian- strange!

Sophie Lilly
The first option we went for was actually Mishelle. When I think about it now it makes my laugh a lot, she's such a Sophie;)
SOPHIE a friend from work named his daughter Sophie and we liked it so much , also OH liked the PS - princess Sophie from Da Vinci Code
LILLY that came to my mind in the last few weeks before she was born. Oh didnt like it at first and was saying it was a grandma name ! lol
But someone told him her initials SLJ sound cool so he got all proud and likes to call her her full name :)

Chester Jake
When going through the baby book Chester was the only name we both really liked. I like it because it is old fashioned and oh likes it because he can say his son is named after a character in the Goonies!! (typical man, childish!!) and Jake because it goes and we can call him CJ for short!

Francesca my dh came up with and we both liked it. Rose is after Axl Rose from Guns n Roses and actually started as a joke. I mentioned that someone on here was naming their child the singer in their fave bands surname and i said thats like us calling the baby Rose cos dh loves Guns n Roses. It just kinda stuck.

OLIVER WILLIAM
My grandma's name was OLIVE and my grandad's middle name was OLIVER plus I've always loved the name Ollie so this was ideal! WILLIAM is his grandad's name on his dad's side
JACOB FREDERICK
We were watching Eastenders when that guy JAKE was still in it and realised we both really liked it!! His dad insisted we had to put Jacob on the birth certificate because "it's more traditional" but tbh i'm not as keen on it so never call him it! FREDERICK is his grandad's name on his dad's side

JAMES HARRISON
I always said if I have a boy he would be named James, my grandfather is James and my brother is JJ (James Junior). I didn't find out the sex but was 99% sure I was having a boy and my grandad used to talk to my bump and say hello James whenever I saw him. Grandad unfortunately passed away 15 days before my James was born so I carried on the name in memory of the greatest man ever!!
My hubby chose Harrison, it was going to be James Charlie, but hubby changed his mind. But has since said if we have another boy it will be Charlie.
