Everytime my husband and I think we’ve settled on our list, one of us mucks it up a bit, but the one thing we agree on is honoring the people in our lives. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband’s middle name has lasted 12 generations, either as the first name of the first son or as the middle name of the first son. [name_f]My[/name_f] middle name is after both a maternal and a paternal great-grandmother ([name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosa[/name_f]). We love how the names connect us to our past and where we come from and we want that for our future children.
Our 5 (almost 6!) year old is [name_m]Liam[/name_m] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] ([name_m]Liam[/name_m] after my great-grandfather [name_m]William[/name_m] who claimed my grandmother as his own when he married my great-grandmother -[name_f]Rose[/name_f]- after my biological great-grandfather died in a factory accident, this is back in 1918 -see what I mean about history?; [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] is after my son’s biological father, and it is a name that stretches back 9 generations in his family)
We wanted to pick a handful of names and varieties for our list with only a few musts:
Our first son MUST have the middle name [name_m]Robert[/name_m] and our first daughter MUST have the middle name [name_f]Rose[/name_f].
Other family names (and we would love variations of the names too, for instance my mother is [name_u]Patrice[/name_u] -traditionally a boys name- but [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] is more our style)
Boys to consider:
[name_m]Robert[/name_m]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Scott[/name_m]
Girls to consider:
[name_u]Patrice[/name_u]
[name_u]Joyce[/name_u]
[name_f]Kathryn[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]
Bomina
[name_f]Eileen[/name_f]
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
Our heritage is mostly Italian, Irish, [name_m]French[/name_m], and [name_m]German[/name_m]
Have fun and thank you!
