Options are Mary, Irene, Darlene, Delphine, Patricia, Phyllis. None are names I would like as a first name. I do like Emma Irene. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-boy-and-girl-family-name-would-you-use-today#post-2327276 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 14:05:21 +0000 DesertDreams88 2327276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kent and Clara </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-boy-and-girl-family-name-would-you-use-today#post-2327271 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 14:03:39 +0000 Foodnerd81 2327271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the middle name Mae as a nod to family names- my mom and grandma both have Mary in their names (and it's my middle name) plus MIL's name is a form of Mary, and my grandmas friend call her Mae. Kind of wrapped them all up in one. </p> <p>I met a little girl named Mariana yesterday, which I think is really cute and my mom is Mary Anne. </p> <p>We don't have many good boy names in the family! DHs middle name is Joseph after his grandfather and we probably would have used that as a middle name. But no boys for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-boy-and-girl-family-name-would-you-use-today#post-2327244 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 13:36:12 +0000 cascademom 2327244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did for both kids.<br /> LO #1: Ethan plus maternal/maiden name as middle name<br /> LO #2: James (maternal uncle, liked the name) Francis (maternal name both male and female found in a number of instances) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-boy-and-girl-family-name-would-you-use-today#post-2327241 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 13:29:16 +0000 Mae 2327241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mae and James</p> <p>(Mae was my grandmother, it is not my name lol.

I'm not sure what other family boy name we would use, if any. </p> <p>For a prospective DD, we would likely use Bridget (my mom's mom) as a middle name. It's also the name of SH's cousin, so we wouldn't use it as a first. My mom really regrets not using her mom's name somehow. My middle name is my dad's mom's name, who died the month before I was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-boy-and-girl-family-name-would-you-use-today#post-2326970 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 11:05:56 +0000 Charm54 2326970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lachlan</p> <p>Estelle </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-boy-and-girl-family-name-would-you-use-today#post-2326969 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 11:05:37 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2326969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Josetta </p> <p>Lawrence </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-boy-and-girl-family-name-would-you-use-today#post-2326966 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 11:04:31 +0000 ms.line 2326966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jude or Judith. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-boy-and-girl-family-name-would-you-use-today#post-2326960 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 11:01:24 +0000 CakeLady 2326960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Helena (variation on Helen) or Virginia for a girl.<br /> Max or Theodore for a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-boy-and-girl-family-name-would-you-use-today#post-2326957 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 11:00:21 +0000 sera_87 2326957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jeannette, Delaney, Logan, or Frances for a girl.<br /> Logan, Ted (full name Theodore, but Ted is the honouring part), Logan for a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-boy-and-girl-family-name-would-you-use-today#post-2326937 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 10:48:05 +0000 petunia354 2326937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vivian/Vivienne for a girl and Dean for a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-boy-and-girl-family-name-would-you-use-today#post-2326932 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 10:45:47 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2326932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family has some great girl names: Georgia, Cora, Florence </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-boy-and-girl-family-name-would-you-use-today#post-2326911 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 10:35:11 +0000 mrschickpea 2326911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My great grandmother Beatrice who passed away from cancer when my grandpa was a few years old.
