When we were waiting to adopt our second son, I knew that I wanted to name him Allan, after my dad! I asked my husband to think of a middle name, but he couldn't think of anything. I thought of a church leader who had recently passed away, whom I had always admired greatly, and decided that his first name, Spencer, would make a nice middle name. I initially said that the new babies name would be Allan Spencer Starr. Then, fortunately, it dawned on me that that would give my son the initials A.S.S! I didn't think my son would want to be calling himself that, whenever he needed to write his initials, so his name became Allan KIMBALL Starr, instead!

On a more serious note, I think it is very important to try to consider how the name you choose will affect the child throughout his/her life.
