MEANINGFUL 1/2

[-------1997.livejournal.com]

My heart is set on Michael Scott for a boy. Common, I know. But my step-dad's name is Michael and he had such an impact on my life that I think it would be fantastic to use his name. Scott comes from my fiance's family--he had an uncle that died in his teens who's name was Scott.

As for a girl, I love the names Emily & Nicole. However, neither have any meaning, which sort of irks me. At any rate, my fiance's mother is Carla, maybe Carla Nicole and she could go by Nicole?

I still feel like if I have two kids and one has such a meaningful name to me, the other should as well. WDYT?

I love the names Michael and Scott and I love the meanings.


Emily is my least favorite name ever and Nicole is far down there. Carla, eh.

I personally see no point in naming someone something and planning to call them something else (even their middle name) from the get-go.

I would have suggested Nicole Carla, but it doesn't flow as well as Carla Nicole. so in this case I would say go ahead and use the family name first, then call the kid by the middle name.
