I read at the weekend that last year the most popular names for babies were ….. Girls.... Emma Olivia Ava Boys … Liam Noah William For 2020 ,however, this had changed slightly....the most popular names now were … Girls … Olivia Emma Ava Boys … Noah Liam Elijah As I am a TA in a primary school I think to the children we have and see if the names match ...rarely do they …. This did get me wondering though ….how did you choose the name of your child / children ?

For my twins I liked the name Derek but didn't know what to name the other and then I realized that if I wrote Derek, changed the K to a J and spelled it backwards I had Jered. Thats how they got their names.

My daughter, Patricia Dianne, is named after my mother's best friend and my mother in law. Her middle name is my mother and my middle name. So it's kind of a family tradition. My son, Michael WilliamScott, is named after 2 of my uncles. His middle name is his great grandfather and his uncle's name out together. When he had his first baby, my daughter in law loves the name Sophia. So they named their first baby Sophia Rose. Unfortunately, she miscarried during the 2nd trimester. But we've been Blessed with another granddaughter. I'm not sure how they came about with Avery, but her middle name is Grace. For the Blessing she is. Now we're Blessed with a grandson. His name is Levi, from the bible. JosephAllen, for his Grandfather and my dad's middle name. I already know from my daughter, when she has her little girl, they're working on girl's first name. Dianne will be her middle name. Most likely when they have a boy, his middle name will be his Grandfather name, Randall.

I've forgotten how we chose names. They were just names we liked but it turned out they were the two names belonging to one uncle so we got lots of brownie points from him!
