How did you decide on your childrens name???

My daughter - McKenzie - we could not agree and a girl that I worked with at the time named her daughter this and my husband (ex) liked it and I thought it was cute too (not what I wanted) so that's what we went with.

My son - Matthew - when I was preganant with him I worked at an elementary school in the office so I saw mostly the bad kids. There was one boy named Matthew who wasn't as bad as the rest and wasn't a "stinky" boy so I stuck to my guns and got McKenzie on my side saying this had to be his name. So this time I got the name I wanted.

Irys Hazel...

Irys -- we just love the name! And it really fits her personality lol... Plus, Iris was the Greek goddess of Rainbows & i LOOVE rainbows... bright, colourful, the perfect ending to a rainy day. We chose to spell it Irys because it's different + my name is Brandy so I wanted her to have a Y in there somewhere lol

Hazel -- family name. My hubby's grandmother's name was Hazel.

I only have one so far. She is 15. But hubby and I are trying to have another one. I was 13 when I picked her name actually(18 when I had her). I was with her dad at the time, and our song was the Brian Adam's song from Robinhood, prince of thieves that came out that year. So I decided then, that if we ever had a daughter, I wanted to name her Robyn Marrian after the characters. She has a second middle name also that is a family name. My 3 siblings and I have 4 names, so it was only natural for me to give her 4 names. But she absolutely loves her name and telling the story of it, even now that she is a teenager she still does. So I'm happy that I went with it.

If we are ever blessed with another child, I have a boy named picked out - Greyson. I don't know why, but one day I just realized I really love that name! Greyson Allen is what I'm thinking. My maiden name is Allen and my dad doesn't have any more kids. Plus my hubby's middle name is Allen. So it works! Not sure about a girl name yet, just can't think of one that really hits me.

My daughter's name is Amy because it means Love or Beloved.

My son's name is Steven because it means Crown.

My daughter's first name is Anna, after my grandmother, whose name was Anne. Her middle name is Juliet, because I'm a big Shakespeare fan, and because that made her first and middle initials are the same as mine (I'm Amy Jennifer), and because I just think "Anna Juliet" sounds so beautiful, and classic.

My son's first name is Max, after my grandfather, whose name was Marc. His middle name is Oliver, because my ex had a family member with the initials "O.V.", so I figured "Oliver" was close enough to that. Plus I think it's a cute name, and with a one-syllable first name, I had to give him a few syllables in his middle name so it would scan well. (I'm a little weird about words that way.)

My ex-husband and I met while working together at Stihl, Inc (world's largest chainsaw manufacturer). When we got pregnant with our twins, we dicided to keep it all in the Stihl family! My son, Jonathan, was named after another man that works at Stihl, whom my ex-husband considers his mentor. My daughter got her name, Sierra, because it's spanish for 'saw'!

That is a super cute story!
And all of these are making me want kids now! I already have several names picked out, now just gotta meet someone and have kids!
