Future grandbabies picked

General Name Discussion
1

So my oldest son and his fiancee shared with me the other day the names they have picked out for their possible future children.

[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_u]Maria[/name_u] “Lily”
[name_m]Castiel[/name_m] [name_u]Edward[/name_u] “Cas”
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_m]Cas[/name_m]

I am just in love! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_u]Maria[/name_u] : I know a lot of people don’t like girl names where both the first and middle names end in the “a” sound. But it is one of our traditions/ heritage. [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] is my great aunt and [name_u]Maria[/name_u] is my name so it is definitely an honor name. Lilia/ [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is also my “forever name” that I never got to use with my own children. I know a lot of people will shun [name_f]Lily[/name_f] bc of “popularity” but when you’ve loved a name for more than 3 decades, um, popularity just doesn’t matter.

[name_m]Castiel[/name_m] [name_u]Edward[/name_u]: Orignally they had wanted [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u] for a boy’s name, my future dil’s name is [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] and my other son’s mn is [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u]. They thought it would be a great honor name. Well my second son threw a fit bc I guess he wants to name a future son of his own [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u]. So I casually suggested [name_m]Castiel[/name_m], it’s an angel and has similar sound. They LOVED it. Also, the nn [name_m]Cas[/name_m] also follows a male family tradition of three letter nn’s. [name_u]Edward[/name_u] is my husband’s mn which is also an honor name for his grandpa.

Anyway, it was fun to hear their ideas. They are a ways off from having kids but I loved their initial thoughts and choices.

Stay tuned for more… I have 5 adult children and no grandbabies yet but we talk alot about possible future names. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] you liked.

Those are lovely names, lucky you💕

I’m not sure if I’m remembering something incorrectly from when I read up on the characters years ago but isn’t that just an angel on Supernatural rather than from religious texts? :thinking:

I am no religious expert but I believe [name_m]Castiel[/name_m] derives from [name_m]Cassiel[/name_m] which was an “extracanonical” angel. But I do know of the Supernatural character :rofl:
