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'm actually having sort of the same issue. My son is Scott Raymond (named after an uncle and my father) but I can't find any other family names I like enough to use on future children.

I'm not a fan of calling a child by his/her middle name. I would suggest Nicole as the first name and a family name as the middle name.
