The middle name is his late mothers middle name.</p> <p>Our boy first and middle name is just two names we liked. Although we picked the middle initial because a lot of family members names start with that letter.</p> <p>Can't wait to find out with LO is so we can know what to call him/her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-950488 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 17:11:38 +0000 LemonLong 950488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her first name is after my maternal grandmother and the middle name is after his. Both grandmothers were gone before she was born. Some of my siblings and cousins wanted to use my grandmothers name too,so it was a race to have the first girl! My cousin was due a month before me and I was praying it would be a boy (it was!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-950466 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 17:05:34 +0000 Lindsay05 950466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First name we liked. Middle name was my grandmas name, my moms middle name and my middle name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-950464 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 17:04:51 +0000 Mrs. Polish 950464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We liked his name because it has the same meaning as dh's name, but wouldn't be a junior because they're completely different names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-950435 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 16:48:39 +0000 daniellemybelle 950435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just like the sound of LO's name but the meaning works too. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-949889 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 11:51:04 +0000 lilteacherbee 949889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our baby will be Nathan Dean. We both agreed on Nathan after not being able to think of a boy name for awhile and later, we found out it means "God has given" which I like.</p> <p>Dean is my dad's middle name. I'm really close to my dad and wanted to honor him. Also I think it flows really well with his first name and our last name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-949880 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 11:44:59 +0000 stargal 949880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First name- pierson because we liked it.<br /> Middle name- Joseph (after my dh and his dad)<br /> 2nd middle name Cole (after my momma) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-949758 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 10:52:01 +0000 Mrs. J 949758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our girl name is a name we love, but it's also DH's great-grandma's name. Our boy name is a name we just happened to love, and it's kind of a nod to his dad and grandpa, but it isn't the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-949754 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 10:49:41 +0000 Espion 949754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E's first name is because we liked it and DH had no better counter-offers, heh. His middle name is my late FIL's name. If we had a girl, she would have still had my FIL's name, so she would have been a Lily Howard. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-949722 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 10:32:34 +0000 mmollison 949722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>our daughters name is Brooklyn Marie , brooklyn was just a name we fell in love with and it suits her perfectly.. and Marie is my middle name that my grandmother picked out for me, we passed 2 months before my daughter was born it would have been her first great granddaughter :(</p> <p>for our next addition: we picked Harold William for a boy, my grandfathers name he passed away 3 years ago and we absolutely love the name its the only boy name we've ever decided on so were sticking with it, and William is from my husbands family (his fathers name and great grandpa) we mentioned it to our family have didnt get a great reaction not even from my grandmother so we wont be telling family any information in regards to the name or sex</p> <p>as for a girl we havent chosen a name.. but the middle name will be Evelyn - my husbands grandmothers name.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-594844 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:27:46 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 594844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her first name is because we just liked it. Papa Jumper chose it!<br /> Her middle name is a shortened version of my favorite aunts name, who passed away shortly before we were married. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-594818 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:22:11 +0000 rawrasaur 594818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just picked a name we liked and was less common. Her middle name is Vietnamese to honor DH background, but we also went with a name we liked verses a family name for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-594814 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:21:13 +0000 littlebittyhouse 594814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We liked it :) his middle name is DH middle name and LO shares the same initials as DH which I think is pretty special.</p> <p>Don't really love the meaning though 'Gray homestead' </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-594798 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:17:01 +0000 avivoca 594798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't know what LO is yet, but both of our names have meaning to us. Our girl name is a genus for a tree frog (my husband is a wildlife biologist), and it means "from the woods," which we like. Our boy name is after DH and both of our fathers. It's also the name I would have had if I were a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-594698 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:44:15 +0000 lovehoneybee 594698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used family names. My LO is Evan Charles. Evans is DH's middle name, FIL's middle name, and was DH's grandmother's maiden name, and Charles is MIL's maiden name. </p> <p>It was important to DH to pass down his middle name in some way, but we ended up deciding to use it as a first name because it was one of the very few boy names we could agree on. We went with Charles because it flowed well with both the first and last names, honored his mom's side since we were honoring his dad's with the first name, and to be honest, I knew it would score brownie points with DH's not-so-nice maternal grandmother (it totally did, we're the favorites at the moment). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-594654 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:32:58 +0000 heffalump 594654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're Jewish, so it's tradition to name after a deceased family member. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-594650 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:31:25 +0000 Smurfette 594650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just liked it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-594618 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:23:14 +0000 DillonLion 594618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: Ours is a Charlie too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-594617 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:22:32 +0000 Boheme 594617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: I do too! If we had had a girl she would've been Charlotte, nicknamed Charlie, and she would have had my great grandmother's middle name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-594605 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:19:52 +0000 DillonLion 594605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First name is just because we liked it (and I decided I liked the name after Charlotte from SATC). </p> <p>Middle name is in honor of my grandmother who passed away a couple of years ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-594600 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:18:53 +0000 littlecasita1122 594600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We chose a name based on a few things - not that popular (so not in the Social Security's top 200 list for the past few years), easy to spell, easy to pronounce and gender specific. One of meanings for LO's name is "God is good" and while we're not very religious, we both believe in a higher spirit and liked what his name represented. His middle name is my husband's first name to follow the tradition of my middle name being my mom's first name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-594592 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:16:06 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 594592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No LOs yet, but our boy will have his great-grandfathers name as a first name (that he didn't actually use here in Canada because it was "weird".. however it is totally not weird by todays standards and is an awesome name!) and my dads name as a middle! Unsure for girls, but I do love using family names :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-594569 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:10:27 +0000 plantains 594569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We chose her first name because of the meaning - it means 'a child is family', and we chose her middle names to reflect her Taiwanese, Japanese and Nigerian heritage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-594554 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:07:23 +0000 dagret 594554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His first name is DH's grandpas middle name. His middle name is my favorite Beatle. His initials are a family tradition in DH's family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-594547 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:06:01 +0000 GrapeCrush 594547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His first name is a name we liked and his middle name is the same as DHs middle name </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-594545 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:05:47 +0000 anbanan15 594545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was the name we liked and the only boy name we agree on. His middle is after my DH. </p> <p>If we have A girl she will have a Japanese name that I have always loved and it just so happens DH loves it and is half Japanese. She will also get my middle name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-594540 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:05:17 +0000 Boheme 594540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: Aww, that's so sweet! And such a pretty name. @stargal: I think this is why people think we chose a family name. The middle name we chose sounds like a last name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-594532 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:03:18 +0000 oliviaoblivia 594532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm Spanish and my DH is English. We wanted a name that was easily pronounceable in both languages. DH is also a history buff and really wanted an historic name. In the end we found a name with Latin roots that was common in England at the turn of the century. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-594488 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:53:16 +0000 Alivoo01 594488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO's name will just be a name we like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-significance-does-your-babys-name-have#post-594485 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:51:28 +0000 yoursilverlining 594485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We picked her first name because we liked it, but also for the meaning/significance to us. </p> <p>My LO’s name is Eleanor, which means “ray of sun/light”. The day she was born it was sunny and perfect out until literally like 10 minutes before my c-section, when it turned so dark and started raining. By the time I walked from my hospital room to the OR, it had started HAILING and there was a huge lightning storm, which lasted only the duration of her delivery. By the time I was back in my room recovering; the sky was calm again! It was a craaaaazy storm. So, we decided we would name her after the storm and Eleanor fit perfectly to her face, and to the fact that she was our ray of light in that storm :)</p> <p>Her middle names are both our mom’s names. </p>
