Michael and I decided on names for our baby (we aren't finding the sex so we needed two names).

Tristan Michael for a boy. Tristan is welsh/english/celtic for "riot" or "tumult" (In Celtic legend Tristan was sent to Ireland in order to fetch Isolde, who was to be the bride of King Mark of Cornwall. Instead, Tristan and Isolde end up falling in love). Michael is hebrew for "who is like God?". Husband's name is Michael and I fell in love with the name Tristan after watching "Legends of the Fall". I'm not a huge Brad Pitt fan or anything, I just love the name.

For a girl we came up with Kimberly Michelle. Kimberly is english for "From the meadow of the royal fortress" and Michelle is the lady version of Michael. I'm not fond of the name Kimberly, but it was the only girl's name that he has a opinion about. He also doesn't like Tristan too much (his other option was Holden and he was against it) so I felt the need to let him pick the girl name.

I love Tristan, though that may just be because it's the title of a song I really like.

I love Tristan, it's my top pick for a boy. Though I thought it meant Sorrow.

I like Tristan and Kimberly. Someone very close to me is named Kimberly, though her family calls her Kimmie. I just fell in love with that name, and if I didn't have just a strong opinion on only one girl, I'd name my second one Kimberly.

Beautiful names.

I love the name Tristan (I'm bias... I'm a Trista - the female version of the name).

Kimberely isn't for me... really 80's, especially with the middle name Michelle.

hmm i think thats odd that your husband wants to name the baby after a random friend...
I like Tristan a lot and Michael after the daddy is nice :-)

Kimberly seems a bit 80's throw back to me. I also hate Michelle.. tacky...

She was killed (shot actually, because she wouldn't give some guy the twenty bucks in her purse) a few months after she graduated and they were kind of close. I deleted the backstory and I guess I missed a bit. My bad. It's nothing creepy or anything.
