I'm helping my sister think of names for her child who's due date is July 15. Anyway, it is really important to her that she use names from our family or her husbands at least for middle names. The only thing is we dont know if it will be a girl or boy- she wants it to be a surprise.
For a girl they have decided for sure on the first name Samantha.
Possible middle names:
Marie- Our mother
Mary, Geraldine- our grandmothers
Caroline, Gail, Judith, Lara, Diana- our aunts
Lucy- her husbands mother
Danielle- her husbands grandmother

For boys they havnt decided on even a first name:
Phillip- dad and cousin
Edward- Grandfather
Joe, Michael, David, Paul, Donald, and Frank- our uncles
Richard- her husbands father
William- her husbands grandfather
Jack (my personal favorite) is our cousin.

I think if they use any of the boys names it should be Jack. For girls I like Lucy and even though it isn't one of their favorites I said Ella. Its the name of a terrible woman who used to be married to my uncle Joe. But I still like the name. I DETESTE Geraldine.

my favorites

girl:

samantha caroline
samantha geraldine (i don't mind it!)
samantha marie

i would definitely recommend avoiding samantha mary and samantha diana-- they just don't flow well. i kinda think samantha danielle is a mouthful. how is lara pronounced; lar-uh or lare-uh?

boy:

david paul
jack william
phillip edward

I like Lucy the most. The rest are fine, but I would definitely stay away from Marie.

As for the boys, I like William and Jack.

I think Samantha Marie and Samantha Danielle sound the best--but I like Marie a little better. It's a little common as a middle name (at least in my generation) but since it's your mother's name, I love it. So yeah, I like Samantha Marie the best.

As for the boy's name, I love Jack, and if they're going to use that, I like Jack William. I don't know why, but I do, it's cute.

Just my suggestions.

David James for a boy
Samantha Marie for a girl

Middle names for Samantha I like:
Judith, Lucy, Danielle.

For boys, I like Edward, Michael, Donald, William, and Jack. I think Jack's my favorite, too. Some combos I like:
Jack Michael
Jack Edward
Michael Edward
Edward Michael
Jack Donald
William Edward (not really into William, but I like the nicknames Will and Liam)

[x-lostinyou.livejournal.com]

The only ones that sound 'right' to me are Samantha Marie and maybe Samantha Danielle. The rest don't really fit that well.


For boys, perhaps

Richard Michael
William David (I second NN Liam.)
Michael Phillip

I'm not crazy about any of them really, but I do think Liam is a cute NN and I like Richard solely because it's my cousins name. They are all very classic names without being too trendy so any will be a good choice.

I know! Everyone and their dog has the middle name Marie, it seems. But it really does sound the best, and it's always nice to honour the Grandma.

[tigress-oils.livejournal.com]

I think Samantha Gail is cute.
