- What nicknames can come from this? ('Harry' or 'Dick' pretty much leaves that one wide open)
- What people are attached with this name? (I doubt there have been many little Adolph's running around in the past 60 years)
- Do the first and last name sound good when said together? (I went to school with a 'Harry Wong'...)
- Will this name still be good in 50 years? (there's a reason why nobody names their baby Gaylord anymore)
- What kind of words rhyme with that name? (eg: Regina. Think about it.)
- Is it easy to spell? (Try to get a five year child old to spell Betelgeuse. Also try to get other five year olds not to make fun of that child.)
- Does it make other people go, "What?" (eg: Bono's child, Elijah Bob Patricus Guggi Q Hewson. I also met a kid named 'Blade Steele')
- Do the initials spell something? Mine used to be B.O. (Again, thanks mom. I blame it on your youth...wink.)

What Would You Name our Kid?
Naming a human being is probably one of the most important choices in the whole parenting process. This name will be this person's 'label' for the rest of their lives, even after they are old and gone...so it better be a good one. Talk about pressure! As a kid I didn't know any other Brandi-Lee's, and not many with a hyphen in their name. I wanted to blend in with my friends and have a name like Crystal or Laura, but now I'm cool having a name not many others have. (Even though the vast majority of the population can not spell it...thank you mother. This we will take in to consideration when naming our baby!)
There are other factors to take in to consideration. For instance:

So far these have been suggested:
ReplyDelete- Rebecca or Blake (Joy Robson)
- Soda or Seven (thank you Marv McGee)
- Shaughnessy (Shaughnessy Keely)
- Bruce (Katie Herrod) -I don't think she knows that's Chris' dads name, so coincidence!
- Katie-Anne (Karen Stuart, Chris' mom)
- Chandi : CHris + BrANDI-Lee - ha ha! (Tammie Atkins)
- Charlie (Tammie Atkins)
Oh and I forgot that Paula suggested the following:
ReplyDelete- Paula (thanks, PAULA)
- Zaynah
- Mattias John
- Jaden
Also, Christopher James or James Christopher (Aunty Chrissy)
Suri. Or Jayden James. Or Maddox. But definitely not Shiloh, because I think someone already took that one.

ReplyDeletehaha still though.. middle name? haha
ReplyDeleteI'm living in Las Vegas and I don't know if it has anything to do with names, but I have a patient named "Abcde" (Ab-si-dee) and a patient named (pardon the french) "Shithead" (Shith-eed). Yeah. Don't name your child that. It's not good. I like Blake or Brock.
ReplyDeleteI feel very sorry for "Abcde" and "Shthead"... do their parents not like them? Were they forced to have them? Mean! Hmmm I think I like Evangeline (short could be Evan)or Makenna (which means gif or present)for a girl and for a boy Keegan , Levi or Micah..... ust thoughts of being bored...
