Name Game

I was catching up on my blogging, and saw this on Kady's blog (http://bluthardts.blogspot.com/) and decided it would be a good way to end the night...

The Name Game

How did you parents decide on your name?

My first name is my maternal great grandmother's maiden name.

My middle name is my maternal grandmother's name.

Do your initials (first/middle/last) spell anything funny?

HEL! Yes they do. No, literally... Haley Elizabeth Lisk.

Notice the play on that "HEL in Heels" :) :) :)

Did you take your middle name from childhood or did you drop your middle name and take your maidenname as your middle name?  (Or if unmarried, what do you plan to do?)

I will keep all of my names, add a hyphen and his last name. This is my plan,

and I am sticking to it!

Are you or will you name your children systematically (ie, same first letter, same origin, etc?)

.

Yes, I want them to have the same monogram.

Did you decide on names as a little girl?  Did you stick to them or change your mind?

I have had my baby girl's name picked out FOREVER! And anyone whos knows me should know it. She will have this name! :)

Does your family have any names that have been passed down through generations?

Jennings Bradford (Jenks)

Do you look at the meaning of the name or just the name itself?

Currently, just the name.



Do you name pet names with human names or dog names?

In the past all of our pets have had pet names, but I can't say that anymore! Bella Mae should definitely belong to a human, not a yorkipoo :)

Are there any names that you have an affinity or dislike for based on a childhood experience or someone you once knew?

Yes

.

What are some of your favorite names and why?

I loooooooove boy names for girls, I just always have. My daughter will have a "boy name" with a feminine spelling. And as a Carolina Girl I also love good ole southern names :)

Your turn!
