I am trying to choose a boy’s name. I want to name one of my kids after my dad, who passed away when I was 18 months old. His name was [name_u]Gary[/name_u] [name_m]Wayne[/name_m]. What is a good way to incorporate his name into my child’s name? The whole doesn’t have to be in there, but I would like some part in there somewhere. I have twin girls named [name_f]AnaLee[/name_f] [name_f]Grayce[/name_f] and EmmaKrys [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]. [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_u]Lee[/name_u] are family names. [name_f]My[/name_f] mom’s name is [name_f]Kathy[/name_f] ([name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]) and my sister’s names are [name_f]Krystal[/name_f] and [name_f]Emily[/name_f] (EmmaKrys). Any help would be great. Thanks!
This is a tough one. [name_m]How[/name_m] about a bit of a scramble… instead of [name_u]Gary[/name_u] how about [name_u]Gray[/name_u]? And instead of [name_m]Wayne[/name_m] what about [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m]?
[name_m]Wyatt[/name_m] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] to honor [name_u]Gary[/name_u] [name_m]Wayne[/name_m]? I think it works!
Also [name_u]Gary[/name_u] means spear-maker and [name_m]Garrett[/name_m] means spear-strength. I think [name_m]Garrett[/name_m] [name_m]Wayne[/name_m] (I like this spelling but there are others) would work.
I agree with previous posters, but I prefer [name_m]Gareth[/name_m] to [name_m]Garrett[/name_m]. I also like [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] as a more creative, more subtle way to honor him. If you are not sold on any of these names, I think using the same initials can work too.
[name_u]Wade[/name_u] is another alternative to [name_m]Wayne[/name_m]. And [name_m]Grayson[/name_m] for [name_u]Gary[/name_u].
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_m]Garrison[/name_m] [name_m]Wayne[/name_m] or [name_m]Garrett[/name_m] [name_m]Kayne[/name_m]? I like the previous suggestions as well.
