Several things in this post

[juniorfan29.livejournal.com]

1)Awhile ago, I posted about Clay Walker's daughters, MaClay DaLayne and Skylor ClayAnne, his new wife has since had their son William Clayton.

2) I doubt this will ever be an issue, but I'm still curious to get your take on it. I kind of like the name Tyler. The problem is, my mom's cousin had a set of twins who passed away, one of them was named Tyler. Keep in mind that since moving I only ever see this member of the family once every couple of years when we get home. So, if one day down the road, I had a child with someone and we both liked the name...would it be in poor taste to use the name Tyler without asking permission first?

3) Courtlin I know it's a made up name (at least, I think it is) but I keep getting it stuck in my head and I think I like it enough to add it to my already too long list of girl's names that I like. WDYT?

Just commenting to say I love the name Tyler! It's on my list.

It's not quite on my list, yet, but it's growing on me. I blame my lust for Channing Tatum.

Ego much? Three children all with his name in it somewhere? Erghhhh. Tacky. Although I think the son lucked out with such a normal name compard to his sisters!

Courtlin sounds pretty enough, but it looks terrible written, IMO

The Tyler thing is a tough one. I say if you don't absolutely love the name, there's no point in using it. If you love it though, I don't know. It's a tough one. I say use it. Maybe ask if you feel it's necessary. It's not like Tyler is a unique name, but at the same time you want to be sensitive to your relative since losing a child is such a difficult experience.

1.) that's gross. I like some of his songs...but seriously....that isn't even creative.
2.) See, I would say something to her. Not necessarily asking PERMISSION, but to say "Hey, here's what I"m thinking and tell me how you feel. I would like to use the name Tyler for my son"...but I would only do that WHEN I was pregnant and WHEN I knew it's a boy. And if you're way set on using it. Otherwise, don't mention it to her.
3.) I've seen Courtland. Don't much like Courtlin either. And II"m sure somewhere I'll see a Courtlyn...which might not be as painful.

my goodness. I used to love Clay Walkers songs... I don't think I'll ever be able to listen to them again without thinking of those names. lol. William Clayton isn't TERRIBLE... but my goodness. lol. And just... ClayAnne? lol.

With that situation I'd probably use the name. I love the name as well but it's my cousin's name on my mom's side and we don't get along with that side of the family... so =/

For a girl? I've know a Courtland(about a year younger than me... so he's 18 or 19?) but never heard of Courtlin. My original thought was for a boy. Maybe Caitlin instead?

I'd use Tyler anyway. If you like the name, use it... especially if you aren't going to see the family member except once every couple of years.

I'm indifferent about Courtlin, but I did think it was a boy's name at first.

1)If Mr. Clay Walker is the one insisting his first name be used in his children's names somehow, then I think his ego is a bit too big. If it's the mothers of his children who are so googly eyed in love with him, then wow.

2)Personally, I feel it would be insensitive to name a child the same name a relative gave a child that passed away, no matter how little you see them. Because when you lose a child you never forget it and the pain is always with you, it just gets easier to cope with as the years pass, and since you know such information about that relative, than more than likely they would know if you were to have a son and named him Tyler. If it were me, I would wonder why a relative would use the name of one of my children I lost. I would feel sad, sad that 'my' Tyler is gone, and I'll never get to see him grow up, and now this relative of mine has a Tyler. It may seem weird/twisted, but such thoughts do go through your mind when you lose a child.
Considering all the names to choose from, I would go with another name I liked.

3)Courtlin isn't bad, but it isn't my taste. I'm not fond of names with words in them (court).

I think that if you're close enough to your cousin to think of her or him when you consider the name Tyler, you're probably too lose to her or him to use it.
