We are foster parents of a 28 month old baby girl. We have had her since birth. Her grandfather (paternal bio) is reportedly from Louisiana and of the Creole/cajun background (Spanish/French). After 10 years of miscarriages and failed IVF and failed adoptions and ectopics, we always had names picked out. The boys we wavered on but the little girl's was always Isabella Grace. However, the birth mother named her another name that includes the biomom's first name as the child's middle and a first name that I can't stand. WHen we were first given this child straight from the hospital we were told her name was Kaila. SO that is what we and all my family started calling her. Well, 10 days later (after the birthfather decided he was the father) DCS called and said that they changed her name to this birthname she has now. Well, since this is a legal risk placement and we are just waiting on the tpr, we have continued to call her Kay Kay as a nickname. We only call her by the birthname for legal reasons. Even some of the documents have Kaila on them. Anyway, we had decided that if we got to adopt her we would rename her Isabella DIane (Diane after my mother in law) . Well noone in the family (mother, father etc) thought we should change Kayla. SO we decided on Kayla Diane. Then my sister in law had a baby girl and named her Isabel Diane. There went that idea. We have finally decided that "only by the GRACE of GOD" is this child in our life, so we have chosen Kayla Grace. I also love the middle name Grayson. I had tried to find a name that was of cajun/creole background as a thrid name, but have had no luck. ANy suggestions?
If we get blessed to be able to adopt another child (especially if this child is of hispanic or spnish heritage) I want to name her either Havana or Haven.
I also like Scotland and call her Scottie. I like Aspen but beleive it or not their is a child that lives in our small town that shares the same name (Aspen) as well as the same last name as we have. My son went to school with a child who had the exact same first and last name as my son. My son was constantly getting sent to the office for things the other child had done.
If we adopt a boy we will name him Landon Carter. this is a family name from ole Virginny . There are a set of twins that we were foster parents for for a very short time before they were returned to the mother. It's a good chance these children will be returned to DCS. If so, and we get them back and get to adopt, we want to name them either Ethan and Emma or Eva (AVA).
Another good name if the child is of hawian descent that I love is Leilani or Malia.
