My hubby is a sports fanatic my daughter name is Jordan Peyton can you guess? lol It took me time to get use to it now I love it. Her name was suppose to be different but they over drugged me in hospital & my hubby thought it was okay to change her name (which we agreed on) & sign birth certificate & get me to sign when Im heavly beyond normal drugged!

I liked the name Macey for my daughter which my husband didn't so we eventually agreed with Kacey Rose (Rose is my middle name and runs in the family) Kacey didn't realy come from anywhere just loved it, was going to originally spell it Kacie. :) ♥ xx

My sons name is Caden Anthony. The only name me and my ex could agree on was Cadence so that was what it was originally going to be but I thought that was more of a girls name so we changed it. My ex thinks Anthony is after his stepdad, I just liked the name lol.

my sons name is Riaghan (Ryan) Mckenzie, Riaghan spely like it is because my name is Irish Gaelic and i wanted his to be the same, but used a more traditional name. his father picked his middle name because he liked the cloths brand mckenzie.my daughter is called Grace Rita. she was orginally called Caitlin emily, but i thought it didnt suit her so changed it to grace as she was born on a tuesday (tuesdays child is full of grace) and rita because she was born on the day my grandma died and my dad asked to name her after her. :)

My daughter is Kaesha (Kay-sha) Jade. Her dad saw her name on a computer game he was playing. It means alert. He wanted her middle name to be Jane, I didn't like it but thought Jade, being a bit similar, was perfect. Kaesha fits her perfectly, she was wide eyed and taking everything in the day she was born!

We actually had to pick two names because we didn't know the sex of our baby until he was born. [: But we both agreed we wanted something 'different'. Also I got to pick the girls first, boys middle, and he got boys first, girls middle. So for a girl we came up with Kylah Marie, Kylah because it was pretty and Marie because it is both his mothers and my own middle name. As for a boy we knew the middle was going to be David after my papa, and his dad could not deicde between Skyler or Landen. So as soon as our son came out he looked up and said Its Landen David. Before passing out. [: We still want to try for a baby girl but not for at least four more years. He should be done with the military by then. And we still plan to use Kylah Marie as her name. *fingers crossed!* [:

My son's name is Jabin Avery. His dad chose Jabin because he had an old friend with the name, but it was unique and I loved it. Avery just popped into my head and sounded good with his first name. I later found out that Jabin is a king in the bible and it means bravery (which is very fitting) and Avery means counselor.

My son is Noah Riley his dad picked Noah (biblical) my aunt came up with riley and i loved it so yea Noah Riley. It flows really well too!

My daughter's name is Willow Serephina. My husband has loved Willow trees his whole life and when we were looking for our first house together it had a huge willow tree out front and we found out i was pregnant a month later so it just fit. We also wanted to keep her name biblical so we originally had Naveah picked for her middle name (heaven spelled backwards with a switch in spelling) but then someone realllllly close to my husband passed away and she was a HUGE influence on his life and her name was Serena. So I went online trying to figure out if there was a name with Serena in it that would have a biblical meaning. and I though Serena and Naveah together..... Serephina!! You can see that the letters that spell Serena are in there but its derived from the name Seraphin (spelling??) It is the highest ranking angel that stands next to God. How fitting right????

So it was perfect and we named her Willow Serephina and it totally fits her. And Noah Riley totally fits Noah. :) :)

my baby is names ZOE ERIN MCCALMANT i bounced through so many names, like chloe(blessing) and Brooke (?) ... and Zoe popped out of no where. Zoe means Life, and as she gave my life purpose i found it fitting. Zoe's daddy and i are both more then 75 % irish, we thought ERIN (meaning ireland) would be great. My zoe erin, The life of Ireland . Feels so good:)

My sons name is Keran. When i was 16 my mother passed away from breast cancer and i wanted to use her name some how. Her name was Karen so at the last moment i managed to spit it out when he was born (too much gas) and everyone agreed that it was a great name (the A and the E swapped around). Thanks to the ladies on the treasures website who helped me with thinking of it !

My girls name is Valentina Rose, which is very uncommon in New Zealand and more popular in Europe. I wanted something pretty and traditional as Im part Italian and mixed race. I had also chosen Matilda if my daughter was blonde (which she now is) To go with the Australian tradition. For a boy and I will not negotiate it is Anthony but with middle names it doesnt matter. I got to chose it myself , being a single parent and I didnt tell anyone until she was born because my grandparents are all old farts and to this day they never call her Valentina, its either baby, smith or rose, although once they called her Valentine. Not so hard to know thats a boys name. Yes I flipped out. But they never see her anyway......

For some reason my husband came up with all of our kids names and yes I did agree,

Our daughter, Jadah-Lynn~ He says he found it in the baby name book..but back then in 2003, we listened to alot of Jadakiss when I was pregnant, so still to this day I say he named her after the rapper. We decided with our boys that the names had to be "different" since Jadah was not a usual name. So our middle son is named Bain Robert (it means Bainsbridge, but later I found out "Bain" is some villian in Batman that doesnt have blood) I dont know:) and our youngest sons name is Daegan James. All different and still to this day Ive only heard of one other Jadah in the 7 years shes been here. No Bain or Daegan yet! I like it like that!
