babynamesOk, I need help here.
We are finally pregnant after 2 years of trying, and now we can't agree on names at all!
We have already chosen Trinity Elisabeth for a girl. However, I'm not a huge fan of Trinity, and my husband always makes fun of Elisabeth (because of the way I choose to spell it) by pronouncing it "Eliza Beth". I'm giving up and giving him Trinity. He loves the name, and there is no talking him out of it. However, I am trying to come up with a better middle name that he can't butcher. Some of my favorite girl names are: Scarlet, Olivia, and Ruby. Any suggetions for a middle name?
Now the boy names..
My husband is adamant that the middle name be Stephen, to which I agree (It was his brother's name, and he passed away when my husband was very young). Now, remember that I've already given in on Trinity and Stephen, and I love the name Lennon. For awhile he let me use it as "the working name" but after a phone call with his mother he said that he didn't like it at all. I'm really quite downtrodden about this because I've done a lot of compromising on my end as far as names go. My husband wants to stop talking about it until we know the sex (which is still 9-10 weeks away), but I can't stop trying to figure out a name. I had finally come up with one we both liked, Parker, and then his mother pointed out that when he wrote his name last-name-first it would be Dodge, Parker. It made me hate it.
So, I'm open for suggetions here. I'm not a fan of "normal" names such as John, Michael, etc. My name is Renda and I've always liked the uniqueness of my name.
Trinity ___________ Dodge
___________ Stephen Dodge
Thanks so much!

Date: 2006-01-27 10:11 pm (UTC)But, again on the Australian thing... in our accent which does not pronounce the "r" on the end of Parker... makes it even worse - if said in many accents other than American, it pretty much turns into "Park a Dodge". Even though to me that doesn't sound bad cos I don't think of dodge as a car... if I change it to.. Parker Ford, it does sound funny, so it's probably an association that would come up too often :(
It's sad but I think it happens to lots of people, that even though they love a name, when put with their last name it seems to form a word or sentence. Sigh..well there are plenty of names in the world and I'm sure by the time the little one is born you will have found something you both like! :)
