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.

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. We named our firstborn Caroline Jane.

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. 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.
