Is there any story behind it?
Ours is kinda boring. DH had just always loved the name Krystle. I just wanted a unique way of spelling it. I went to school with a girl called Crystal, and one called Krystal and I didn't like either of them! So I had to spell her name differently!!
Although, after we named her and everything, we actually discovered the local brothel is called Crystals....hmm, I hope that isn't where DH got the name from!!

My first son is named Kevin, but when I was pregnant with him I really wanted to name him Michael! My husband at the time said okay, but only if he would be a michael, no nicknames like mike or mikey. So i said forget it and I said Kevin and it as left at that. My next son is Ethan. I wanted to name him Tyler terribly but my husband at the time kept hounding me to name him Ethan. I didnt even really like the name back then, but after 9 mos of hounding I finally gave in and now I love the name. My next son is Cameron. We only came up with that name a couple of days before he was born! We kept changing our minds and never could stick to anything. My last son is Cooper. I dont really remember how we came up with it but we both love that name! Once we picked that we stuck with it and never changed.

We had picked Conner Lee for our son years before we even got pregnant. But then when we found out we were having a boy my husband changed his mind. He was apologizing and freaking out a little, and then he told me he wanted to name our boy after himself. Of course, you cannot deny a man to name his son after himself! So we have Marshall Jr.
I cant wait to have the next one so i get to name it!

My boyfriend chose our son's first name, Dalton. This name was the last name of some of his ancestors. I went along with the name because it was important to him, plus I really liked the name too.
Then I wanted to pick out his middle name. I chose to have his middle name the same as my grandfather's middle name, in order to honor him. Then, after Dalton was born and we were filling out the form for his birth certificate, my boyfriend decided we could give him a second middle name, in order to name him after my father as well. So, my son's full name is Dalton William Dennis. :o)

First me and my husband selected on an alphabet that we want our son's name should be (our first born was a son). and then got a few baby name books and looked for a name that is not very common. and agreed on the name. My second the daughters was easy, we chose something similar to my sons name...
