But I now see why men are not too enthusiastic about it. All my wish list of names was Scottish or Irish origin. My husband was like: "you know neither of us have an ounce of gaelic blood right??!" <br />I m so excited to meet the new edition soon!!Stashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836396076018306616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3066198610262034062.post-56609502901561573852012-12-01T09:15:26.353-05:002012-12-01T09:15:26.353-05:00Names are a hard thing to decide on.

Seamus Sanders would have serious issues with classmates.<br />Amber was our girl name, until the commercial for milk ruined it. Ever seen the one where the guy is eating peanut butter tries to answer a radio call-in question whose answer was Aaron Burr? Sounded a lot like someone trying to say Amber, and that's the only way my husband could say it from that point forward. Amber got a big ding.

My sister married a guy from Ireland, so they named their kids traditional Irish names - I was pushing for the youngest to be named Saoirse - love love love that one. In fact, I forgot to mention that name in my post - which was a back-up name for my youngest. My sister and BIL ended up wavering between Niamh and Brenna. Brenna won. :) Great post!Jessica Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861658300112079021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3066198610262034062.post-25824728174816987352012-11-28T13:44:59.847-05:002012-11-28T13:44:59.847-05:00I am SO not a name person.

We actually do have baby names picked out for the kids we'll likely never have - two boys, two girls. Of course, we have now named our bikes two of the names.

Love the spin on the list. Thanks for sharing. I had an Aunt Millie short for Amaryllis---but I think that's a little too southern belle for your clan. And for the record, I like Merida. Especially with your other names. My cousin just named her baby Niamh and they call her Nevie. That could totally work with your crew too. Just thought I would add.

When my family took a trip out west my sister and I fell in love with that town name. Or maybe we fell in love with Wyoming. Whatever. We actually planned to name either's first girl with that name. (The race was on!) But then we grew up and found out that others were using our name. What? I have since then met a few Cheyennes and they aren't the type of people I pictured to have that name. Hmmm, guess it will be forever on my new list (thanks to you) of name-not-to-be-used!celinehttp://www.facebook.com/celine.labiknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3066198610262034062.post-7309870721901920112012-11-27T16:19:18.263-05:002012-11-27T16:19:18.263-05:00Wow.

I was a teacher too, and there are certain names that's also forever banned from my future children or grandchildren for that matter. I just can't forget the students associated with those names - I totally get this. And the reasons you gave for all those other names? Pretty good reasons, I must say. Your future children thanks you. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516571233579403525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3066198610262034062.post-39702571897501109792012-11-27T16:18:46.370-05:002012-11-27T16:18:46.370-05:00Wow.
