Possible Sibset

[skittles22088.livejournal.com]

My husband and I have finally agreed on names for our first child.  We're not TTC, but I'd like to settle on something now and get it out of the way.

Boy:
Levi Alexander - Levi means "joined in harmony" and Alexander honors my husband's best friend

Girl:
Olivia Jeanne - Olivia honors the grandfather I never met (Oliver) and Jeanne is my middle name (a combo of both my grandmothers' names)

My issue is this:
Levi wouldn't obviously have a nickname, so he'd be called Levi.
Olivia would probably be nicknamed Livvy, Livi, Livie, Liv, etc.
Do the nicknames sound too alike?

TIA!

FB friend just had a baby boy and named him....

Jaymz

No joke.

Respect my child's name

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

I saw this article on CNN. Has such a thing ever happened to any of you? Has anyone, especially a relative, ever refused to call your child by its given name?

Or has anyone not 'respected' YOUR name? For example, in grade school there was a girl who constantly insisted on calling me Al. My name is Alison, and nobody else ever called me Al. I hated it and thought it made me sound like a trucker, but I didn't want to hurt her feelings by telling her to stop. Alternately, there was a guy in high school who decided it would be hilarious to start calling me Ali, in order to annoy me. The thing was, my nickname WAS Ali. Most people at high school didn't call me that, but my childhood friends and family all did. I thought when he realized that I was responding to the nickname and not getting annoyed in the least, he would catch on... but he never did.

Middle name suggestions for Anya? Hubby and I are nowhere near TTC, but it's a name we're pondering for the future.

Rebecca and Charlotte

What image comes to mind of little girls named Rebekah and Charlotte?
Do you like the names?
Do you prefer the spelling Rebekah or Rebecca?
