My boyfriend and I have been thinking about naming our future children after our grandparents, parents, or other relatives. The names we would like to use are the following:

Amelia (my great-great-great grandmother)
Vivian (my maternal grandma)
Helen (my paternal grandma)
Tamara (my mom)
Fern (my boyfriend's maternal grandma)
Diane (my boyfriend's mom)


Robert (my maternal grandpa and also my godfather)
Joseph (my paternal grandpa and also my older brother)
Thomas (my boyfriend's maternal grandpa)


My boyfriend doesn't really speak to his paternal side so we're not using those names.
The ones we would like to use the most are Thomas, Amelia and Vivian. I'm not sure if we'd use them for first names or middle names. What do you guys think?

I love the name Amelia.
Your tattoo is awesome!

Thomas and Amelia would work as first or middle names and Vivian would probably be better as a middle name.

Amelia is definitely one of my favorites. It probably would be even if it didn't have significance for me.
And thank you!

What do you think about putting them together?
Amelia Vivian?

[iwanttobemyself.livejournal.com]

Not liking it that much.

I really adore the name Amelia!! :3 And as for the boys names you chose, Thomas is my favorite.

How about Amelia Jane, Ameila Grace, Amelia Rose. :) Or Thomas Arthur, Thomas Gage, Thomas Ryan?

Yeah... that might be too many vowels.

Amelia Grace I really like. :) I'll have to write that down.
What do you think of Thomas Matthew? Matthew is my boyfriend's middle name so that might be neat.

ya...or something like that.

i don't know...they're not that unique but i like that they have a history.

i like Amelia Jane, Amelia Christine

[serendipitous13.livejournal.com]

I think they're unique enough. I like more classic names anyway.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Thomas Matthew isn't bad at all. :)

I like Amelia and Fern for girls a lot a lot.
I like Joseph and Thomas for boys.

Have you thought about like Thomas James. How about Amelia Isabell. Just throwing some ideas out there. :)
