What is the Story of Choosing your Baby's Names

My first child has two middle names. I used one of her middles names as the name of her grandmother's adopted name. I knew the first name since I was nine. The other name just made it string together nicely. Her name is Amber Alicia Karen.

My youngest was more religious. She too has two middle names. We sort of thought of them after we had her. I guess it just sort of came out like we had it picked out for ages. Her name is Ashly Kristine Eden.

I have three children. My son got his name, Brian Alan,from the middle names of his father and his paternal grandfather. My oldest daughter, Samantha Adrienne, got her name from a compromise. Her father wanted to name her Samantha Jo, and I wanted to name her Adrienne Elizabeth. She now says that when she turns eighteen, she is going to legally change her name from Samantha Adrienne to Adrienne Elizabeth. My youngest daughter, Amylia Marie, who we call Amy, got her name from family. Her father's name is George Amyl, and I wanted to name her after him, but didn't want to use any of the feminine forms of George as they are not my style. So we used a feminine form of Amyl instead. Marie is her grandmother's middle name.

Most children have 2 names (some have more) but you never call them by both names, you call them by their first name & their second one is just kind of there.
I didn't go in to any great depth with choosing a name, it had to be something nice & something that she wouldn't hate us for when she grew up - some names are just too out there.
Our daughter's name is Lillian - which is my late grandmother's name (who i never met) & it is also the middle name of my Mum (only my Mum's middle name is spelt with 1 L). We gave her a middle name, after my partner's Nanna - Rose - i kind of regret doing that now but it's too late! I only regret it because nanna has moved in with other people & has become very rude, she also told us not to name our daughter after her since someone else had already done it which seemed a little selfish to me.
Anyway, that's how Lillian Rose came to be!

Dear mcjeannie and hubby: The selection and attachment of a name to one's child is a vital procedure. Nothing in this life is more powerful than language. No one can even think or function as a human being without it, the true "Power of the Word". It should be taught to everyone that human mind is created in anyone through the attachment of a name. Without the proper knowledge and wisdom one can select a name that creates anything but harmony; there are varying degrees of "balanced" (constructive) and "unbalanced" (confusion or discord) names. Many examples can be given. The act requires knowledge of the power of any name and what it will create in one's life. That was the original purpose of the "Baptismal Service". Unfortunately, most, if not all, religious leaders today do not have the same understanding of name and mind as did those wise individuals in the past who gave humanity tremendous wisdom, well-hidden within the symbology of most major religions, some philosophies and Freemasonry.
The name Garett is a very well-balanced name for a boy. It will create a very strong, healthy, stable, honest, reliable, decisive and competent nature; well able to function in the business world as well as within the family environment. However, because we all have more than one name, often nicknames and a surname one must also take into consideration how the over-all total or combination of names will effect the individual. Many surnames would spoil or off-set Garett's abilities and thus lead to frustration. The name is a blueprint of one's life and it only takes the passage of time (another fundament law) to reveal the effects. One can also completely change one's life through a change of name and application to other basic laws governing us all. Ask practically any woman who has married and adopted her husband's surname; the change can be beneficial, detrimental or somewhere inbetween. This is a vast subject and so much more needs to be said. If you are sincerely interested in knowing more we can tell you where to find the answers and learn much more about life and its many basic laws.
