i also like mary beth, would have named a baby mary elizabeth and called her mary beth, but my husband's mother was mary elizabeth and he hates that name although his mother was a very nice lady. if i had had another boy, caitlin would have been a cameron james or haydn paul.

DH and I were watching "Overhaulin" this week and we heard a neat name.......Mylan for a boy. It's totally not something that I would normally choose but we both kinda looked at each other and shrugged. LOL Frogichik my MIL loves the name Lily. I actually like it to but not sure if it's the right choice for us. I think that I have a hard time using a name in my head unless I have heard it used before. Does that make any sense? Like if someone had suggested the name Mylan I would think it was totally weird.

Umm, sorry, Spitfire, but Mylan reminds me of Mylanta (diarrhea medicine?) and mylar (the material in the shiny balloons).

LOL...it's funny because I did think that someone would think that to. There are certain names that I associate stuff with to that make me not particularly like a name.

Hee Hee. Well, that's why my mom insisted I not pick 'Leslie', my first choice 26 years ago, as the name for my daughter. She knew some woman at work by that name and just couldn't stand her. So I gave in. But I was just as happy with Lauren later on----until everyone started naming their girls the same thing. Never can tell what will catch on.

My dh's name is Kelly and he did not want to name our son Kelly Jr. He said it was hard growing up being teased for having a girl's name. I actually like the name though.

i like the name kelly for a guy or gal. i have a male friend named dana who just hates it. but i like it for either, also. my husband works with a male tracy, whose wife is named sandy. people usually think she is tracy. like when i went by 'mike' and i dated a guy named stacy and everyone thought we were just kidding and had traded names.....LOL

that's why i named my daughter "Holly" not hollie or holley or anything else. and it was definitely a GIRL'S name! because my first name is so unusual, they never could figure out during roll call for new classes, what gender i could possibly be.

Oh...speaking of your name Landi...it is unusual. Is it a family name? I've never heard it before.

landi is short for Landileigh - actually it's a combination of two things - Landi (my great grandfather's last name) and Leigh (for Janet Leigh)

Its funny how some names will make you think of something else. A coworker was thinking of the name Crystal Joy for her daughter. I teased her and said, "that sounds like a dish soap!" She gave me a really dirty look and said that was exactly what her mom told her! She ended up naming the kid that after all. I do remember a dish soap in a large yellow bottle with red letters I think. It was Crystal "something." Or maybe just Crystal. Don't even know if they make it any more. I'm sure we used it cause it was cheap.

I knew a girl Amy Sue Lynn. Didn't mind her initials - ASL. Then she married Mark Strong. ASS. *L* My friend's name was Daniel and hated the fact his name was so common. Decided that their son was going to be named Plate. We did everything to talk him out of it [even asking so what are the siblings going to be called, cup and saucer or fork and spoon?] but he still insisted. His poor wife was just beside herself with worry. They ended up compromising and called him Zane. Couple years later they had a girl - Zelandra. And last, but not least, my little cousin [who's now 6'6"] Justin Tyme Walker.

Justin Tyme Walker? sounds like 'before and after' category on "wheel of fortune"! i remember going to a grand jury end of term party and overhearing the foreman's wife telling a man her name was annette. and the man, who i was on grand jury with, said his wife's middle name was annette. i almost spit out my manhattan, because i knew his wife's first name was mary. who would name a kid 'mary annette'? besides gepetto, i mean!

*LOL* Tabby you're right it DOES sound like wheel of fortune! I asked my cousin why she would name her kid something like that. They had Justin picked out from before he was conceived. Wanted a "T" middle name so they could call him JT, but couldn't agree on which name. After he was born my aunt told her she was running out of time to name the baby. My cousin and her husband looked at each other and started laughing, and that's how Justin Tyme was named. BTW so much for the name JT. On his 4th birthday he told his mom and dad his name was NOT JT, it was Justin and if they didn't like it he was going to live with Grandma.

No not yet. This is such a hard thing to do. I guess some people just know right away but I just can't nail something down. On my mind right now is Noah or Sam for a boy and Lily or Sydney for a girl. This means nothing though because it changes all the time. DH doesn't spend a lot of time thinking about these decisions so it left up to me. Then I say "what about this name?" and it gets shot down and we start all over. We have been building a house for the past year (living in it now) and we had a lot of decisions to make so maybe both of us are just putting it off till we really have to decide.

I always said I would give my kids names that could not be shortened. Mine could/can and I hated that. I named my first son Kevin, my daughter Stephanie and on my third I completely went off my rocker and named him after his dad who was a Jr. making him a third so we call him Trey. However, I do really like the name Trey even though that is no where close to his real name. I love your pick of Sam for a boy. Abby you spelled Madelyn the same way my DGD spells her name. Oh also if anyone happens to name their child where they will be a third like my last one. Do not teach them their full name until they are over the age of three. Before that age they will proudly and loudly tell everyone they meet their name is "first name, middle name, last name, the turd". That is experience speaking. LOL
