I was married to a Greek and the tradition was the oldest was the fathers name reversed. James Peter, Peter James. That would have stayed the same. I would have given my second son my maiden name and my moms maiden name but it was three hard C sounds.
for a daughter that never materialized, we would have done Katherine Elizabeth, or Victoria Elizabeth, calling them either Katie or Tory .

So is her name actually Margaret? Or are teachers making the assumption when they see Maggie on the roll, that it must be short for Margaret? I really like the name Maggie. One of my friends from my teenage years named his daughter Maggie Mae, and I thought it was such a cool name. I *think* Mae is the middle name, and not part of a hyphenated first name. Her name is Margaret Anne. I felt like she needed to have a "grownup" full name because she wouldn't be a little girl forever. I also have a Margaret who we call Maggie. She's an adult and will always go by Maggie. |

I love my daughter's name - Kirsten (keer-stin, not khur-stin). It's the perfect combination of unusual and common! My boys are Ryan and Andrew. I'd stick with all those names.

She's an adult and will always go by Maggie. Mine will, too. But when my girls were born I wanted them to have names that wouldn't seem out of place for a Supreme Court justice. Haha. My Maggie is a professional classical musician. Maggie is fine! |

I have 4 boys, and like their more traditional names we gave them. If I had a girl, I really love the name Grace.

I only had one child, a boy and he has a very traditional name and it suits him perfectly.
If I had to name a child today
Girl: Bronwyn
Boy: Michael

My kids names are Daniel and Lara. They are in their 20s and I still would choose the same names. I did not have a favorite list of names, we chose the name while I was pregnant and we both liked the names.

When we were first dating I told him I had always dreamed of a lot of kids. He came from a family of eight kids too so we decided that we would start with six or seven and re-evaluate as health and finances worked out. We were far to greedy and never had any but we always had a list of names on the fridge and top of the list was
Trevor James Zachary Issaiah Rhys Thaddeus for boys and Candace Joy or Lyric Elizabeth

I honestly don't know. I had one child and I debated so much over her name. I couldn't even commit until i saw her face. And now she has legally changed that name. Sigh.
