Jillian was named after my best friend since Kindergarten and her middle name Michelle is my best friend in high school. My husband liked the name so much he agreed.
We named my daughter Sarah because my husband and I both agreed on that name instantly.
Our daughter is named Rebecca Rose. Rebecca is not after anyone but we wanted it to be an ‘R’ because my all the kids in my husband’s family start with R. Rose is after my grandmother.
Our first son is named Charles Alexander, charles is my husbands names however alexander is new to our family. we chose that one based on the fact my husband wanted alistaire and i did not. Our second son is Kenneth James named for both his grandpas (Ken is my dad and James is his dad)
My youngest childs name is Sedona Skye. You would think I named it after the beautiful town in Arizona, but not true. When I worked one of the gals I worked with wanted to name her cat Sedona but decided not to. I held onto that name in case I had a girl. I always wanted to call her Skye as well but figured that would be a nickname or possibly a first name. As it turned out Sedona Skye sounded just perfect and it’s also one of my favorite places to visit.
Eddie, for his grandfather!
My daughter is Regan - I read a book way before she was born and I loved the name!
My child’s name is Johnny. He is not named after anyone I just liked the name.
Thank you so much!

My son, Christian Michael, was named after his father’s father as well as his great uncle (an incredible man and gentle soul). My daughter, Natalie Estelle, is due in September and is named after my mother and great grandmother (who passed away on my 16th birthday).
My daughters name is Grace. Not named after anybody in particular, we just both agreed on it.
My daughter’s name is Ostara. The name “Ostara” comes from the Pagan holiday. It’s the Spring Solstice. She was born on that day, and so, we decided it was perfect for her. Every one always is curious to know, and she tells them “I was born on my mommy’s religious holiday.” \
We named our son James. He is named after my husband’s dad and grandad who are both deceiced.
WE NAMED OUR SON, PARKER DAVIS - HE IS NAMED AFTER 2 JAZZ LEGENDS (MILES DAVIS, AND CHARLIE PARKER). MY DH ALSO HAD A FRATERNITY BROTHER NAMED PARKER DAVIS - WHICH IS KINDA COOL!
i named my daughter halle… because it took over a year to get pregnant (and she was our second) and when i took the pregnancy test and it was positive i shouted “Hallelujah!”
My oldest daughter’s name is Miranda. We had the name Taylor Briann picked out for her from the time we knew we were having a girl until I was 36 wks along. But, one evering I was sitting on the couch watching tv and the name Miranda just popped into my head. I did not hear it on tv so the only thing I can think of is God wanted her name to be Miranda. It’s not a common name and I really don’t ever remember hearing it before this so how else did it come to me. lol Thank you!
My daughter’s name is Ellen. I initially thought of the name in relation to a little girl that I used to babysit that was such a sweetheart. We chose my daughter’s middle name, Anita, in honor of my grandmother.
JORDAN he wasnt named after anyone we just liked the name :)
We named my son William, after my father who past away. His middle name is after is other grandfather too. Both are wicked awesome men, so I hope he grows up to be like them!
I have two little guys- August “Gus” who was named after my Grandfather, and Clayton named after my mother-in-law.
When we found out we were having a girl, I liked the name Emerson, but my husband vetoed it saying it was too masculine. He tried coming up with variations of it and as soon as he said Ellisen I was hooked. Now I can’t imagine her being anything but my Ellie!
My daughter, Ava, was named after the ‘Ava’ in the soap opera world. My mother named me Erica after Erica Cane of the soaps so I held on and made a tradition by naming my daughter a soap opera name!
MY sons name is Chad. Didnt take long for me to decide on it as I absolutely loved the name.
My youngest is named Heidi because I love Heidi Klum and it really suits her.
We named our 4-month old daughter Juliet after my grandmother Jean. I wish she was still alive to have seen her granddaughter marry her “romeo” and have a beautiful baby girl.
Sarah for Hebrew for princess;
My daughter’s name is Mandi. My husband named her because we couldn’t decide on a name and we were watching a television show and saw a girl with the name Mandi with an i. We thought it was a wonderful unique spelling of the name. Thanks for a fabulous giveaway!
Well, my son is named Alex. He wasn’t named after anyone. My husband liked the name and I did as well and that’s what we went with. His name isn’t Alexander either. We get that a lot more than I thought we would.
My daughter’s name is Isabelle Monica. Monica is after my mom.
Her name is ZOEY…it derivative of the Greek word for “life” After 13 years of thinking that my son and his wife could not have children this wonderful bundle of joy came into our lives And she has indeed renew the life in all of us. I only wish I could upload a photo so you could see this beauty for yourselves. She has won my heart again and again with her smile and her laughter.
I named my daughter Seronica after my name. My name is Veronica. I came up with the name Seronica to be similar to mine.
We picked Joshua because it is Biblical!
my daughters name is stella
I named my son Nicholas because we liked the name.
my daughter lonna kaye is named after her dad lonnie and her aunt.
I just realized my post didn’t go through so I am going to try anyway. Mary is my MIL’s first name and Robert is my dad’s name.
We named our firstborn Caroline Jane. Shortly after getting engaged in Boston, Mass., we planned to move to Charleston, SC. I thought it would be meaningful to name our child, if we had a daughter, Caroline after Carolina. Funnily enough, she was not conceived in SC but rather back home on a New England vacation visiting family. We still decided on Caroline. Her middle name, Jane is my oldest sister’s name and my mother’s middle name.
After having Olivia (which took three years), we were blessed again 18 months later with a boy, John “Jack” Ryan ,John was after his grandfather. When he was a boy everyone called him Jack, so we decided to do the same thing. I know that it is confusing. I admit it took a while for me to be on board with the two different names. I have heard it is a “back east” thing. Ryan is also a family name from his grandmother, her maiden name was Ryan. We wanted to keep it in the family.
I am naming my daughter, Jaeleigh. My name is Leigh Anne and my boyfriends name is Jason which everyone calls him Jay.. so i turned it girly a little bit and spelled it ” Jaeleigh”. She’s named after both of us.
We named our daughter Riley. My husbands father had just passed away and we wanted her name to reflect something about him. We tossed up names, but none seemed perfect. He was born in Fort Riley. When my husband and I thought about that we knew that Riley was the perfect name. Even though, she does not have her grandfather’s name, she has a piece of his history in her name.
