I am due in [name]September[/name]. I do not know what I am having but we like to wait until delievery so I need to have a boy and a girl name picked out. I already have two girls named: [name]Sydney[/name] [name]Paige[/name] and [name]Keira[/name] [name]Marie[/name].
I have a name that I like for the baby if it is a boy: [name]Russell[/name] [name]James[/name]. [name]Russell[/name] was my grandfathers name who passed away when I was young. Were it not a family name I probably would not like it but the idea of honoring my grandfather makes the name appealing to me.
[name]James[/name] is a family name on DH’s side. His father, grandfather and even furthur back were all [name]James[/name]. He is actually named [name]Jamie[/name] close to [name]James[/name] but to me good enough to not carry on the [name]James[/name] tradition. I jokingly said we could name the baby [name]James[/name] or [name]Jamie[/name] and call it 'JJ" (as in [name]Jamie[/name] [name]Junior[/name]). Well he loves it and wants the baby to be called ‘JJ’ with the first name [name]James[/name] middle name [name]Russell[/name]. I do not like JJ, I don’t want the baby to be named [name]James[/name], it is a nice name but to common for me.
Lastly, my oldest is named [name]Sydney[/name] obviously a city in Australia. My youngest is sort of named after Mount [name]Keira[/name] (we picked the name and then found out it was a Mt), also in Australia. I also like the idea of naming baby #3 with some sort of Australia connection (even though we have never been there) but do plan to take the girls there one day. However I haven’t been able to come up with anything.
[name]Austin[/name] - Has the AUST sound
Ayar - Ayars [name]Rock[/name] in Australia
[name]Arthur[/name] - [name]Port[/name] [name]Aurthur[/name] in Australia
Canberra - Capital of Australia
[name]Cairn/name - City
[name]Mackay[/name] - City
Also just a fun fact - If you have a girl her name could be [name]Alice[/name] or [name]Adelaide[/name], both cities in Australia!
Some other Australia-related names:
[name]Griffith[/name]- city in [name]Sydney[/name] metro area
[name]Campbell[/name] - campbelltown is another city in [name]Sydney[/name] metro area
[name]Darwin[/name]- city in northern Australia

For some reason when I hear [name]Adelaide[/name] it reminds me of marmalade.
I found out yesterday that there is a [name]Russell[/name] [name]River[/name] in Northern Australia. [name]Just[/name] wondering opinions of [name]Russell[/name] [name]James[/name]?
I really like the name [name]Russell[/name] [name]James[/name]. I think [name]Russell[/name] is a really great and underused name. The only possible negative I can think of (and it isn’t really a negative) is that there is a character in an old book by S.E. Hinton named [name]Rusty[/name]-[name]James[/name]. If you don’t plan to use [name]Rusty[/name] as a nickname I don’t think that’s an issue though. (The book is called Rumble [name]Fish[/name] if you wanted to check it out. It’s kind of a young adult classic.)
So all and all I love the name.
([name]Adelaide[/name] makes me think of lemonade, by the way.)
I like [name]Russell[/name] [name]James[/name] a lot. [name]Russell[/name] is cute but could sound professional if it needed to. It makes me think of [name]Russell[/name] from the recent Disney movie Up. He was pretty cute. I also like [name]Russell[/name] because it’s classic. And I’ve always liked [name]James[/name]. Nice combination!
