hi i'm new. My husband and I are trying to have a baby and we've finialized the name choice. For a boy it's Leonard James after his father and my grandfather and Christopher Kaden. For a girl it's Jadie Grace and Cayleigh Christabella. What do you guys think?

er... she told us what she wanted, she wanted to know what we thought of the names.

If you take a look at her follow-up post, she's actually included some more specific information that people can use to shape their responses so that they'll be helpful.

This is exactly what I was hoping she'd provide. Why? Well, if someone doesn't care about name meanings, it doesn't help them much if I deliver a harangue on the meanings of the names. Or, if someone likes names that sound athletic, it won't help them much if I tell them that the names really don't call to mind people who are artistic.

In these cases, my comments could be entirely correct - and completely irrelevant.

So that is why I asked.
