I'm doomed to have a family name for a kid. "It's a tradition" Some of the names are good some are strange...

BOY FAMILY NAMES
DeVal
Isaac (love it)
Joseph
Hiram
Walter
Irvin
James
Henry
Donald
Franklin

GIRL FAMILY NAMES
Sue
Vicky
Exa (different)
Dent
Wylene (cutte)
Elle-Myra
Moger (like MOE-JER)
Frances
Minnie
Helen
Virginia
Katie
Lourene
Mary
Lee
Anne
I just can't think of one that I would use together..

I like James Isaac--to me it doesn't seem too plain, but slightly repetitive, with the double long 'a' sounds. Reading through the lists again, I like Irvin James, too.

Also, I don't know if this works for the family trend you're going for, but different forms of the names you listed--like Victoria instead of Vicky, Kathryn/Katherine instead of Katie, Leanne instead of Lee and Anne, et cetera. Just a thought :)

aww i would love to do that. I dont want anyone to get mad at me because i 'broke tradition' But I love the idea.

In my opinion, it's the same thing, especially since many nicknames people will call them (them being your future children) are derived from other/longer forms of the name. Your family may not have the same opinion, but ultimately, these are your children and you should be happy with their name.
