Kids names (page 2)

If I were naming babies now, I would use some of my ancestor surnames, a wonderful custom I learned doing my genealogy research.

My family is from MA, and used surnames as middle names for their kids--my mom's middle name is Stanley (she has been harrassed all her life about that), her sister's is Montgomery, my cousin Cheryl's middle name is Locke and her brother Paul, is Dixon. My parents made our middle names regular, run-of-the-mill names, but my middle name is after the given name of my grandmother (at least it is a feminine sounding name. )

What w/ having Jewish heritage & being a JW, I did'nt stand a chance. Samuel Abishai Davidoff. It does'nt get more Jewish or biblical than that. I did the same for my daughter, but with a satiric twist. Her name is Asherah, after the consort of Yahweh that you don't hear much about.

I know someone named Uriah.

I would have had a Maxfield (called Max), Riley (boy or girl), Estes and pick another somewhere back there. (Strong, Patterson, Smith, Hyde, Gifford)

I'm sure my brothers are grateful you started your geneology research long after they were born. Who would have been stuck with Estes? Can you imagine what they would have been called in school?

I can.

I went to school with a girl named Chastity. Pretty sure she let her parents down on that one.

I went a completely different route with names. I picked what I like. Rhys and Zoe.
