[QUOTE="Aries_Omega, post: 2613478, member: 15693"] I have two kids. My oldest is my son. We both looked in a baby book and made lists of like 100 names. We whittled it down to two and I think we did best out of three rock/paper/scissors and I lost. My wife was a very gracious winner and allowed my idea for middle names. This worked with both kids. Now the middle names are interesting. I don't have one. My dad is of Latino origins thusly has a very long legal name and hated that. With my son he has two middle names. One for each grandfather with mine being the first one. We were going to do the same thing for my daughter but when we informed the mother-in-laws of our intentions they both did not like the idea. We were going to go with middle names but that wasn't going to work. One mother's middle name was May and the other was June Eris. My mother had two middle names. So we went one generation back. One grandmother's was Olga the other was named India. Olga is a variation on Olivia. Olivia India didn't flow well, but my grandmother's middle name Eris did. I recall explaining to my wife who Eris was but she swore I never told her years later. So my son was named Marcus Roberto Redmond and my daughter is named Jaelin Olivia Eris. The meaning of the names fit I feel. Bottom line...it will come to you. Just relax your mind and let it happen. [/QUOTE]
