child's name

my husband and i have adopted two children so far and ours was through the foster care system. in each of those adoptions we chose the first name and added part of their birth name to the middle name. All of our kids bio and adopted have two middle names. We did it this way so our kids can have part of their birth history with them as they get older. Hope that gives you a little insight...suz

How do you pronounce Lynae? Lynn-with a long a sound at the end? How about Linnea. It is pronounced Lynn-long a sound-then short a sound. I always thought that was a beautiful name. (Like Rene, with an "uh" sound at the end).

Kenna Grace is beautiful and I agree with S. Pete, Logan David would be great!

Good luck, make sure you let us know what you decide on!

Here is my imput - for what is worth -

Girl - Cassidy Lynae (pronounced like my name...Renee) or
Zoe Lynae or how about my favorite....Cassidy Grace?

I like the name Kenna, but so many people are naming their daughters McKenna or Mackensie, or some variation of that name, that there are probably going to be a lot of little girls running around being called "Kenna" or Kensie" in the near future.

Boys - I'm partial to "Aidan James" because that is what I am naming my son. But I also had picked out Caleb, Logan and Seth as possible runners up. I like the name Zane, because it reminds me of Billy Zane and he is a hottie. I don't care for Toby, or other "boyish" sounding names, because then it is hard for the boy to be taken seriously as a man when he gets older. Unless you are Toby Keith and can sing as well as he does, because then no one cares what your name is!

Micah would probably get confused for Michael too much and your son would have to keep repeating himself when people ask his name.

Good luck choosing something that fits! We had actually chosen the name Ethan James for our son, but then when we saw him, it didn't "fit". He definitely looks like an Aidan.
