We knew the baby was a girl so my husband and I both made a list of names we liked. If any were the same we automatically kept them. Then we put the names together to make first and middle names and then asked family members for their opinions- end result: Emily Elizabeth and Sarah Adeline.

I actually picked out my daughters 1st name way before i even knew she was going to be a girl. I was very exciting with it being my first child therefore i wanted to try to prepare myself in every aspect so i wouldn´t be doubting when it got to it so i bought 2 babyname books and looked through them. I had to look for a name that sounded right in spanish and in english so it was a little bit of a challenge. I also wanted something that came close to or at least a part of my grandmother´s name but wanted to start a new name. I started in the A´s and absolutely fell in love with the name Adeliza, which was a name put together by putting parts of Adeline and Liza. I looked through both books but once you like a certain name that is just it. I ended up giving her my other grandmother´s name but in english and Finally decided on Adeliza Rose

In my family we have very few boys, so we have a tradition of passing down the name Katherine into each generation. The first was my great grandmother Katherine Rose, my grandmother was Katherine Caroline, my aunt Katherine JoAnn, my sister Katherine Elaine, and my daughter who I decided to go back to the beginning she is Katherine Rose after her great great grandmother.
The other 5 kids we just picked for no reason.

I Have an only child a daughter and when she was born I already had a chosen name but for one reason or anoptjer the name didn't seem to fit and when i tried other names my brothers and sisters had a comment everytrime on the name. But I finally chose her name which i wanted to be unique from other names similar to it. So I came up with a spelling of the name which is indeed very uniques and tagged on another name which i always liked and wished as a name for my daughter as it mean beloved or sweetheart or some thing similar. So my daughter's name is really something I finally chose and made unique all for her. Her name is Eiris Mavourneen. I don't think anyone spells that name the same way i spelled hers.

i hve a brother i know he is boy after birth first time ihe is very small and looking very cool so we com up with sum good and intresting nam and i though only one name gaurav and he look like as gaurave becouse i like this name

I think it is very important to choose a suitable name for your kids. If you give the wrong name, that will give the kids a lot of trouble during the period they are growing up. For exemple, the other kids laught at your kids, If you give a rare name, the people don't recognize the word, they always say the wrong name. I suffered this for a long time. I have a friend which suffer a long name during his whole name. On his name, he has 2 first names which are mixed by french name and English name and 2 last names which are from his parents last name. He hates his name because of giving him a lot of trouble. I think the best name should be simple, easy to understand.

When my first son was born his dad wanted to call him Fox, Raven or Rex. My family didn't like any of the names. So I bought a baby name book and my mum suggested the name Ryan. So we called our baby boy Ryan. Then before I had my next baby I began using the Internet so during my next pregnancy I looked at different names. I thought that the name Lorry would be lovely if we had a boy or Holly would be a great name if we had a girl. I had a second son but we couldn't agree on a name. His dad asked how about Teo? So I said how about Leo then? He liked that name so we called our baby boy Leo. His nick name is Leo the Lion and this suits him. One day I would dearly love to have a daughter and names I like are Holly, Amber or Lauren. However two names in our family beginning with 'L' it would be confusing. Yusuf sounds like a wonderful name.

Before my first son was born, after months of vetoing each other's choice of names, we zeroed in on a boy's name and a girl's name. Our first child was a boy and he was born on a special Indian festival...and we wanted a name that would signify the festival. Fortunately, we could do that by adding one more name to the name we had chosen....together it was the name of the God whose birthday it was...and he was named!
The second one's name the older one chose which was the same meaning of his name.

I just heared them and thought that is a name I like. When I was pregnant I wrote them down and at the end I looked in my little book again. Every name I disliked then I torned out of the book and finally there was only one name left. That's the name my kids got.
