Why did you name your child that?

I am just wondering, what did you name your child or children and why did you name them that? Did the name have meaning behind it, or was it something you just liked and chose? Do they have cute nicknames from their full name now?

I just want to see what you all have to say and what kind of great names your kids were given =) Thank you!

    We have 3 children, and one on the way.

    Our oldest is named Benjamin Riley. Benjamin is my husbands father's name, and Riley is a name we both loved.

    Our twins are named Aiden Gregory and Landon Nicholas. Aiden and Landon are names that we fell in love with the moment we saw them. Gregory is my fathers name, and Nicholas is my husbands brother's name who passed away when he was 9.

    I am currently expecting baby number 4. We decided not to find out the sex of this baby. But if it's a boy, his name will be Mason Christopher. Christopher being my husbands name.

    We haven't yet picked the first name if it's a girl. Her middle name will be Lucille though. Lucille being my middle name.

    I do not kids yet but if I did these would be their names

    Boys:

    Emmett Eleazar Franklin

    Manasseh-Jakob Don Barry

    I love the name Emmett and it means "universal" in old german, Eleazar means "God's helper" in Hebrew and Franklin means "Landowner", it is also my great grand fathers name. I think it flows and fits together well

    Manasseh would be after my friend baby boy who I love so much, it means "Forget", Jakob is another way to spell Jacob and it means "Supplanter", Don is my father and my great grand fathers name and Barry is my grand father

    Girl:

    Alexis Grace Patricia Lynn

    Jamaiyah-Joseph Kathleen Elise

    I have always loved Alexis and it means "Defender of men", Grace just goes well with Alexis, Patricia is my grand mother name, my middle name, my aunts name and my cousin middle name. Lyn is also my name and my aunts middle name.

    Jamaiyah I have no idea what it means but I heard it once and fell in love with it. Joseph I think goes well with it. Kathleen is my other grand mothers name and Elise is my great grand mothers name

    Family name are very inportant to me and the meaning of the name means alot to!!!

    I like the name Ava Lee for a girl because Ava is a beautiful name and Lee is my middle name so thats what I would love to name my girl. For a boy, I like Caden Andrew or Caden Tyler.

    I named my daughter Rhiannon after the Fleetwood Mac song. I named my son Ezra after my favorite poet Ezra Pound. Plus I wanted unique names that were names not fruit or things.

    I don't have any kids yet but when I do I'm going to name them:

    Baby 1- Jaelyn Rose (nickname would be Jaye)
