when baseball is on and my husband is glued to the tv, I get bored. So I will take my names from the top 5 list and find some middle names.

Nathaniel Eric (Eric is my dad's middle name)
Warren Alexander (Warren is my husband's father's name- I just always thought it was neat)
Jack - This one stumps me. I would totally use the name Jack just as it is (not as a nickname for John) but I can't really find a good middle name. Any ideas?
Matthew Ryan
Owen - I like Owen with Alexander, too. I probably would not use Owen though, as my step brother just named his son Dominic Owen :) Oh well. I'm still including it in my favorite's list since I am not really naming anything seriously at this time.

top 5 girls:
Valentina May (May is my grandmother's name. She passed away. She would get the biggest thrill if she ever knew I named someone after her. She is Swedish, so her given name was actually Maj-Britt or something, but she changed it to May when she came to America.)
Victoria May (yeah, I've pretty much decided on May for a middle name)
I used to really like Victoria Jade, but I think I like May better.
Willa- Willa could go with May, I suppose, but I'm not feeling it as much as the other two names paired with May. Ideas?
Ava Madeline or Ava Christine (Christine is my best friend)
Isla I suppose May could go with this, too but I'd love to hear some others. Isla is a new addition.

Adelaide, Alma, Micah, and Landon were just short of the top 5. I used to love Landon, but I'm on the fence with it anymore. For some reason I'm starting to feel it belongs with the Aidens and Jaydens.

post any thoughts at all!

But it's the World Series!!! How can you be bored?! Phillies just tied it!!!

I'm awful at combos, but I really love a lot of your names... Especially Jack, Owen, Ava, and Adelaide!

I also really like the idea of using May to honor your grandmother. Would you be open to variations of May? A lot of these seem like a stretch, but behindthename.com says these names (http://www.behindthename.com/php/extra.php?extra=r&terms=may&submit=Go) are related to May... Some of them are quite nice!

Baseball is my life. I'm rooting for Philly, too, but I think the Yankees are going to win.

Also, have you tried Nymbler? That might help you find some other names of similar style.

I'm planning on using Jack Remington one day. It flows nicely and he'll have the initials J.R.R. in memory of Tolkien. Remington is also my brother's middle name, my grandfather's middle name, and a last name in my family tree. So it has lots of significance to me lol.
