We're hugely traditional: Nicholas Joshua.

Joshua is my Husband's name and it's traditional on his side for the boys to take their father's first name as their middle name.

Girl names we considered were Jane and Caroline. See, uber-traditional... rather boring.

Daughter is Rachel Amelia
--named after my mom, my grandmother and great grandmother

Son is David Matthew
--named after husbands grandfather and my oldest brother

Daughter is Trinity Quyana
--my mom picked Trinity and Quyana means thank-you in yup'ik (my daughter is half yup'ik eskimo)

So, we were very traditional on the first two, MUCH less so on the third. But, if Trinity had been a boy she would have been Lucas or Nathaniel with Joseph as the middle name.

I think names are hard too Teekay. We are expecting to adopt a baby girl in january and I'm stuck. I was hoping some of these would inspire me.

I also love hearing what everyone has named their children....don't we all name our kids when we're kids ourselves anyway? In addition, it's interesting to see where those names come from...

Keep 'em coming everyone.........

My son is Jerrett Hayden Bradock - Bradock is the "family name" which I don't really care fo.

We have names picked for the next on - but I'm not ready to share They are equally unique.

Our daughter whom we adopted from Guatemala was

Maria Rene (Given by social worker)
Maria - Long awaited for child
Rene - A second birth; a second life

When we adopted her we changed it to

Mia Rene
Mia - God's possession; (literally means 'mine')

My wife is entering her 9th month with our baby boy (Jan. 23). His name will be

Carter Boaz
Carter - Industrious; Hard Working
Boaz - (From book of Ruth) - "with strength"- though we named him this because of the character Boaz displayed in the Bible.

My guy is William Patrick Thomas, but goes by Liam.

A unique girls name ( I went to high school with her) that I've always liked is Sayelle.
