[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 2612898, member: 2205"] No, no no! It's supposed to get you thinking about sex! Sadly, it was a very long and difficult process for us, and at the end of the day, I ended up conceding to my wife after she had given up all her ideas that I absolutely would not accept. My oldest son is named Spencer Joshua (Dyal)--Spencer being both a name we both liked and someone we both admired. Joshua, of course, is me. My daughter came next, and we named her Jessica Michelle. In many ways, that's the name we're the most disappointed with, although we can't imagine her with any other name. Jessica got picked because it's a name my wife liked and I didn't mind, but it was a fairly last minute change from Breanne, which I liked better. My wife actually regrets the change. Michelle is my wife's middle name. Next we had Alexander Williams Dyal. He was named so that his initials would be AWD and we could call him All Wheel Drive. OK, not really, although we did make that joke a lot when he was a baby. Alexander was just a name we both liked; we wanted something longer and classic, and I always figured he'd go on to conquer most of the known world by the time he turns thirty. Williams is my wife's maiden name. My wife's younger sister also had a boy and gave him the middle name William, claiming that it is sorta a riff on the maiden name, but we don't do things half-assed like that in my family. If we're giving him the maiden name as a middle name, we're giving him the actual maiden name, not something close to it! My last is named Logan Taylor. By this point, we were kinda running out of boy names that had any real emotional signifigance to us, so we just picked names we liked. Plus, we can say he's named after Wolverine if we want. For nicknames, we very seldom call Spencer Spence, but Jessica gets Jess and Jessie all the time. Alexander gets Alex from my wife, and I try to call him Zander more often, but I end up using Alex a fair amount. Logan goes by Logs and Logers, all with a long o and a hard g a lot. [/QUOTE]
