First name is my maternal grandmothers name, middle name is my sisters name. rattles on "How did you come up with LO’s name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-come-up-with-los-name/page/2#post-815231 Wed, 29 May 2013 11:39:28 +0000 rattles 815231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'd loved her name for years, and it's particularly appropriate to the time of year when she was born. Both her first and middle are saints who have feast days around her birth. DH fell in love with her middle when checking other December feasts in Lives of the Saints. @kjpugs: It's a fab name website. You can look up names individually, read blogs about different names, or chat with other parents/name nerds in their forums. <a href="http://nameberry.com/" rel="nofollow">http://nameberry.com/</a> ValentineMommy on "How did you come up with LO’s name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-come-up-with-los-name/page/2#post-815210 Wed, 29 May 2013 11:32:03 +0000 ValentineMommy 815210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @VEGMAMA: Thanks!! :) BlueWolverine on "How did you come up with LO’s name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-come-up-with-los-name/page/2#post-815204 Wed, 29 May 2013 11:30:51 +0000 BlueWolverine 815204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We went with DH's great-grandmother for first name and my grannie for middle name. They've both passed away and we were very close, so it felt right. alleyflowers on "How did you come up with LO’s name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-come-up-with-los-name/page/2#post-815065 Wed, 29 May 2013 10:34:10 +0000 alleyflowers 815065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We had a tough time coming up with a name because DH is very particular about boy names (he could have cared less about girl names). We got both first and middle name from a baby name book! DH picked the middle name because he thought it sounded like "a surfer name." DS's first name is Cliff (short for Clifton). People always ask us if it's a family name - but DH is Korean with all Korean family names and my Dad's name is Otto.... so NOPE... we just liked it! :) heartonastring on "How did you come up with LO’s name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-come-up-with-los-name/page/2#post-815019 Wed, 29 May 2013 10:20:05 +0000 heartonastring 815019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DD's first name is DH's mum's name, but spelled differently. Her middle name was my paternal grandmother's name. kjpugs on "How did you come up with LO’s name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-come-up-with-los-name/page/2#post-815014 Wed, 29 May 2013 10:18:01 +0000 kjpugs 815014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @grizz: @arden: what is this NameBerry you guys speak of?

We just watched the entire series a couple months ago ... Good choice! :) swurlygurl on "How did you come up with LO’s name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-come-up-with-los-name/page/2#post-814889 Wed, 29 May 2013 09:34:23 +0000 swurlygurl 814889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I got Lyla from the movie 'August Rush' MrsTiz on "How did you come up with LO’s name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-come-up-with-los-name/page/2#post-814853 Wed, 29 May 2013 09:24:23 +0000 MrsTiz 814853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ His middle name is after two of my uncles that have passed (they had the same name) and the first name I just really liked and DH thought it wasn't long enough so we went with the longer version. Jackson Eric.

We both loved the name (and the character), and it ended up being the only name we agreed on. His middle name is from a musician - DS sortof picked it out himself, as it was (and is) his favorite. He would always react when he heard it while still in utero, and now it calms him down is he's fussy. His name is Desmond Elliott.

I thought we might shorten it and call her Ellie, but so far we haven't. regberadaisy on "How did you come up with LO’s name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-come-up-with-los-name/page/2#post-814631 Wed, 29 May 2013 07:42:43 +0000 regberadaisy 814631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm Chinese and my husband is primarily German/Irish so I wanted her first name to be of her heritage. It was also important that the name has good meaning. I found her name and the meaning was full of joy bc what more do we want for our kids than for them to be happy? And it's Gaelic of origin. Her middle name is after my husband's maternal grandmother; an amazing woman that is dear to both of us.

We like his name because it sounds like such a strong name, and it fits him perfectly because ne has such a stronh personality. We thought alot of people wouldnt like his name but everyone loves it! DDs name is Isla Lacey, Isla is a name I have loved forever (I love girls names which start with vowels) and Lacey was from a baby name book. It's a soft delicate name and it fits DD to a tee. beachbee on "How did you come up with LO’s name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-come-up-with-los-name/page/2#post-808983 Sat, 25 May 2013 13:47:55 +0000 beachbee 808983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH actually had it on his list and I lived it. I had heard it before, but it's not very popular so that was perfect for us :) MrsKoala on "How did you come up with LO’s name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-come-up-with-los-name/page/2#post-808571 Sat, 25 May 2013 07:42:12 +0000 MrsKoala 808571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @evansjamie: I love it!

It's a genus of tree frog (my husband is a wildlife biologist), and it means "from the woods." Her middle name is Sophia because I liked it and it sounds good with Hyla. cheert16 on "How did you come up with LO’s name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-come-up-with-los-name/page/2#post-808522 Sat, 25 May 2013 06:08:32 +0000 cheert16 808522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @rachiecakes: love that movie! My best friends cousins son has the same name as LO (that's how we added it to our list) then at The hospital we had 2 names, and I just knew Bradley was the right name for him!!

Lucky for me Mr. Hedgie loved the name too! Her middle, Lynn, is both my mother and paternal grandmothers middle name. That was decided by me when I was a kid too. Lol. Again just lucky the Mr. loved the name combo.

We made a top 6 or 8 list, and just tried names out from there. There's only one other Kennedy on the list (of about 1500 kids), so that's a bonus! littlepenguin on "How did you come up with LO’s name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-come-up-with-los-name/page/2#post-808130 Fri, 24 May 2013 18:56:57 +0000 littlepenguin 808130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We picked his first name because it was the only name we were kind of close on. His middle name is after his paternal grandfather who passed away a few years ago.

We aren't TTC yet but our boy name is also from entourage... But really we like it because it was DHs grandpas name.

We each had a piece of paper folded into quarters (4 boxes) and, hidden from the other person, wrote our 3 favorite names, each in its own box. Then we passed our paper to the other, picked a favorite name that they had written down and added a middle name. We came up with the exact same name. LO's first name is unique to him (in our family), but his middle name is hubs' father. We wanted to honor a family member with the middle name rather than a first name. sera_87 on "How did you come up with LO’s name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-come-up-with-los-name/page/2#post-807719 Fri, 24 May 2013 14:28:22 +0000 sera_87 807719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ First name is DH's childhood idol (bruins goaltender from the 70-80's) middle is my middle.

I had never heard her name, and fell in love with it. The middle names are family names.

And I also had a friend that had a daughter with the name we chose that passed away.
