When You Have Kids . . .
 

For all of those childless Greek colleagues out there, what do you want to name your kids when and if you want to have them?

Mine will be named:

Elisabeth Anne (after my mom) and
Frankie Jean (after my 2 grandmas)

I plan on adopting, so I will name my children after Christian virtues and something from their bological(sp) family...

example.
Hope Jade, Jade from Asia if I adopt a little Asian girl.

All I want is girls.

Chris

After years of interviewing & people watching, I can honestly say that I have yet to meet someone named after a Christian virtue who personified that virtue! One of the biggest liars I've met is named Honor, I have never met a Gay, Joy, or Sunny who was the least bit cheerful, and don't even get me started about the Prudence I've met!!

And yet, I prefer that type of name myself....

No wife, no kids in the picture right this minute. If I do marry and have kids, maybe Ian Fleming after my favorite author if it's a boy. I'll leave it to the wife to name it if it's a girl.

For girls, I like Chloe, Mandy, Lindsey, Crystal, Vanessa, Veronica

For boys, I like Dillon, Jason, Zack, Travis

Well, since our little DZ or Phi Mu Alpha legacy is due March 18th, this is a hot topic around the house.

For a girl:
Teagan Rose

For a boy:
Liam Joseph

Right now we're just combining the names and referring to the baby as Te-am. Hopefully we'll find out the sex on October 30th *crosses fingers*.

October 30th - that's my bday!! Name her Liz if it's a girl!!

As for the names of my future children... i don't even want to think about it!

My husband has a son from a previous marriage so I am SO hoping for a girl!

Dunno the name yet but her middle name will be Christine (after my grandma)

I love names! I think they're so interesting. I definitely plan on talking to my husband about my future children's names though... but some of my favorites are:

For Girls: Sabrina, Isabella, Gabrielle, Kira, Alexis, Arianna, Kaylee

For Boys: Bryce, Brady, Blake, Riley, Austin, Chase

Hermm I love thinking of kids names I dont know why lol maybe its b/c I love kids heck I work with em everyday lol anyways here goes...

girls~ Cadance, Alexis*even tho this is my bf's ex gf's name so maybe thats out lol* I could however shorten it to Alexa :) hmm Bailey McKayla and I like Shiyanne however my bf said we will never name our children that b/c it sounds like a stripper name. oh well.


Boys~ Jadan, Austin, Thomas, man I dont even know I cant think of them right now. I like Jacob too but since the current bf's last name is Jacobs umm yeah that wouldnt work lol

For I girl I'd love Katherine Ingrid. (Yes, I am just dorky enough to name a child after Katherine Hepburn and Ingrid Bergman.) I also like Shirley, Hannah, Elizabeth, and Anne as names.

For a boy I like Isaac, Scott, Benjamin, Charlie, and Michael.

I love the following names:

Girls: Serena, Rowena, Elizabeth, Kayla

Boys: Sebastian, Christopher, Nicholas

"The following is a catalog of naming questions and suggestions posted on several different baby naming bulletin boards going back as far as early 2001. All entries are left unedited except for length.

As you will see, some parents-to-be have gone so far into the realm of baby-obsession they have lost track of the real, adult world. Their view is so skewed their only concerns are a) making their child "unique" and b) trying to keep the kid from being teased, often with terrible results.

Steel yourself, take a few deep breaths, and read."

My boyfriend and I have already decided on this name for our daughter:

Andrea Arlene

She'll be named after his father who passed away this year (Andrew) and my aunt (Arlene) who passed away a year ago.

If we have more than one daughter, these are the names I like:

Brinly (or just Brinn)
Heather
Kate
Cassandra (Cassie)
Erin

Boys names:

Matthew
Dylan
Daniel

Wow, am I the only person who doesn't think of this stuff?

My boyfriend and I have been together for a long time, and will probably be married within the next two to three years. Children, however, are a long way off. I still like being a baby myself! :)
