Subject : 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!
