My names!

[makeitstopjamie.livejournal.com]

My husband and I are still about three years from starting to try, but I thought I'd put some of are names out there.



A few things:
-There's a tradition on my husband's side on using Lee as the middle name for the first son. And any suggestions that go with Lee would be much appreciated because with having a ton uncles and male cousins I'm at my wit's end.
-Hana will be pronounced Ha-na after the town on Maui that we drove to the day before we got married.
-Ann, Mary, and Rose are grandmothers. Dale and Walter are grandfathers. LeeRoy happens to be the name of both of our maternal grandfather. And hubby takes a lot after Grandpa Schwartz (Walter) and Great Grandpa LeeRoy. Glen and Paul were my grandma's brothers that died young and I would only use those names with her permission.
-Hubby has a very off sense of names. He thinks that Owen is trendy and Jackson is old fashioned. *faceplam*

I'm sorry, but the only thing I think of when I see Leeroy is "LEEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOY JEEEEEEEEEENKIIIIIIIIIINS."

same

Exactly.

I actually don't get the reference, but I put the name on the list to see what the reaction would be and rather or not it could be revised.

My favourites are Emma Rose and Owen Lee.

I think a lot of your names don't work all that well with the middle name Lee because so many of them are also short, one-syllable names. They're fine names in and of themselves, but they don't sound good together.

Yeah, that's the problem I've been having and most of the longer boy names I like have already been taken by male relatives (Samuel, Benjamin, William...)

my name is hana. :) EVERYONE mispronounces it and calls me hannah though, which is really annoying..so just warning you--that'll definitely happen.

my middle name is jane. :]

Cool! It's our favorite girl name at the moment.

And I know that the name will be mispronounced. We live in Ohio and I just know that people will never say it right.

Mary is delightful. Please choose Mary.

Because Mary Anne should just be Marianne, and Rose and Anne are commonly fillery middle names, a longer but related middle should be used. The above suggestions are more interesting.

Mary Rosalind
Mary Rosanna
Mary Anneliese

Or you could do Rosemary.
Rosemary Anneliese is nice.

I do like Walter.

Err, not above suggestions, but below suggestions... :p

Rosemary was actually my grandma's full name and I have a cousin whose full name is Anneliese.

I do really like Mary Anneliese. It's probably going to be added to the list:) Annie never goes by Anneliese and it has a nice German feel to it too.
