My names

[frenchnails.livejournal.com]

I've posted here a couple of times before, but since the last time I posted about names in my own family, I've had another baby.

My name is Maya-Marie Jodi. Yep, Maya-Marie. My mother was in charge of naming me - my father named my older sister Heidi Rose, so Mum got to name the next one. She's into more unusual names, so I ended up with two names because she couldn't decide on just one. She liked Maya and Marie is a family name so instead of naming me Maya and having my middle name as Marie she decided to give me both and give me Jodi as a middle. I don't like my name, and I go by May.

My children have unusual names... kind of. Most people think they're strange when they first hear them but grow to like them. Needless to say, my mother was the only person who loved them instantly xD If you don't like them, that's fine xD
My kids are:

Rahel Megan (pronounced Ray-el) - Age 5
Vegas Lee - Age 2
Shawn David - born May 16th

My husband's name is David Joseph (and yes our youngest child's middle is his name, if he'd been a girl the middle name would have been Maya). His older brother is Joseph David... yeah his parents had no imagination xD

Rahel Megan is cool (partially because I'm Erika Megan)
Not too fond of Vegas. Lee isn't too bad.

Love Shawn David.

And feel bad for your husband and his brother. Seriously?

Yes, seriously. When my husband first told me that his brother's name was Joseph, I was like 'that's your middle name' and he was like 'it gets worse, his middle name is David!' and I was like 'oh man...'

[fangirlism]

Oh man I feel so bad for them.

Is Vegas a boy or girl?

[frenchnails.livejournal.com]

Boy ^_^

I've got to say.. I don't think Shawn David is unusual at all. Maybe it's more common here in Australia, I know heaps of guys called Sean/Shawn/Shaun. But it's a good name anyway :)

I like Rahel... never heard of it before... interesting. I like Raquel so it makes me think of that.

LOL that's why I said 'kinda' meaning only my daughter and older son is unusual xD

Rahel is actually a book character but we didn't find this out until she was about 3 or 4.

I like Vegas.

My name is also May. UNITE! Haha.

[frenchnails.livejournal.com]

Yay for Mays ^_^ I wish that was my actual name instead of my nickname xD

[ollivander.livejournal.com]

It's a pretty awesome name.

I loveeee the name Maya. Too bad you don't like it that much :/

Also, I knew a girl in high school named Rahel & I thought it was interesting, but I forgot how it was pronounced. I think it was pronounced Ruh-hell (ha) or maybe even Ray-el, like your daughter. I forget.

I have no problem with Maya. In fact, I like it. But I don't like it together with Marie and with a stupid hypen >_>

Lots of people think Rahel's name is pronounced 'Ruh-hell' but I always have to correct them. And it's awesome you knew somebody with that name, because I don't know anybody with her name (except a book character lol).

Shawn David is nice. I think Vegas is really unfortunate, sorry.

I like Shawn David.
