The first name is just one we like (Leah was our girl name for many years...I think our tastes are similar!), and for middle names, we use family names. We've been very conscious of choosing one from each grandparent's side. Ben's middle name is from his maternal grandpa's side, Kyle's from his paternal grandpa's side...Owen's middle name is from his maternal grandma's side, and Elise'e mddle name is from her paternal grandma's side! If God sends another baby, we'll get to be a little less fair about it all! ;)Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12524347632845469825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378562155896437704.post-13073424219199080272010-07-09T15:27:26.731-04:002010-07-09T15:27:26.731-04:00That is so neat about their birthdays being close ...That is so neat about their birthdays being close to their namesakes birthdays:)Rayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603853079772981391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378562155896437704.post-48708836649142815942010-07-09T15:11:26.977-04:002010-07-09T15:11:26.977-04:00Names are tough around here.

If it was a boy it was to be Joshua Michael (Tim's middle name). We also try to go with meanings of the name too. Erin Elizabeth means Peace in concecration with God.<br /><br />#2. I had a very strong feeling that this baby was a girl. We picked the name Maygen Nicole meaning Strong in Victory around 14 weeks and then at the 18 week ultrasound found out that our baby girl was probably never going to be born. We knew the Lord had been speaking to us when we picked her name. Oh how true. She is so strong and the Lord has protected her life. We spelled Maygen that way b/c we named her after my great grandma May.<br /><br />#3. We decided to find out and again found out we were having our third girl. It took a lot of time but we finally (37 weeks) picked Ada Rose meaning noble, happy, prosperous. Rose was after Tim's grandmother.<br /><br />#4. It was difficult b/c we couldn't nail down anything. We found out again and yep, "It's a girl!". We took a while and finally came up with Kylie Madison meaning Victorious;Strength in battle. <br /><br />#5. Who knows?!?! We didn't find out so we have to pick 2 names...and as history shows, it takes us a while!michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14483120109044136080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378562155896437704.post-4409047103883580222010-07-09T09:40:40.728-04:002010-07-09T09:40:40.728-04:00DH had already chosen the name for his first-born ...DH had already chosen the name for his first-born son before he ever met me. Fortunately, I liked the name ;) For the middle name, I picked a family name from my dad's side.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00172636187611286057noreply@blogger.com
