If I would've been a boy, they would have named me Aaron because that was my uncle's real name. :)Kaydihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16083158843836819927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43698900789309729.post-69630610708834564742014-02-07T23:18:46.822-06:002014-02-07T23:18:46.822-06:00My sweet babies were named after my Grandparents o...My sweet babies were named after my Grandparents on both sides and my mother. Clara Jewell and Paul Bryson, Clara Faye was my grandmothers name on my Dads side I liked Clara because you don't hear of that name anymore at least not in the US. Jewell is my mothers name Jewell LaNell. Paul was named after both of my Grandpa's Stidley Brice and Paul Perry.I thought that Stidley may be too different and when I told Paul what his name could have been. I said I should have named him Stidley. his nick name could have been Studly Stidley LOL. I went with Bryson because we already had a Brice in the family. I think both names fit them to a tee! Clara truly has an old soul and she is my Jewell! Her name means clear(Clara) precious gem(Jewell) and Paul is such a distinguished name, his name means humble (Paul) grandson of a nobleman( Bryson).

My boys, and myself...Love to hear name stories too. My boys, and myself are all named after family members. <br /><br />I, Eva Marie, am named after my G'ma (Viola Eva) and my Mom (Evelyn Marie). <br /><br />Douglas Laurence is named after his Dad (Douglas Edward) and his G'pa/Great G'pa, my dad (they are Jr/Sr.... Laurence Riley)<br /><br />Robert Edward is named after his Dad (Douglas Edward) and his G'pa, Doug's Dad. Doug's Dad's legal name is Bobby and he always felt that was immature for a business professional so had said if we wanted to name a child after him to name him Robert, which we did (Bobby Glenn)<br /><br />By the time the little boys came around I had noticed how some names seem to have a specific personality trait attached to them so when picking names, I still wanted family names, but I didn't want them to have a negative personality trait attached too, so it sort of got a bit trickier, plus we'd already used up the immediate g'parents.<br /><br />Riley Daniel is named for his G'pa/Great G'pa (the Jr/Sr thing Laurence Riley). His Middle name is in honor of Doug's Mom's husband. Since he is for all practical purposes their G'pa, we felt it fitting to include him in the naming of the kids. His name is Dan Coleman, but we wanted to use Daniel instead of the shortened form.<br /><br />When Andrew James arrived on the scene well, I realized that I had used my Dad's side of the family extensively but not my Mom's side. That is where the James came from (Harry James) but I have some negative personality traits associated with the name James, so I didn't want that to be his first name. After consulting the family trees we saw there were several Andrews sprinkled throughout and thought that it would fit nicely. <br /><br />We also joked that his name as Andrew fit well...... ANd we DREW it to an end. (we knew he was going to be the last one)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08007662186585231562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43698900789309729.post-42449989203065009852014-02-07T21:44:42.958-06:002014-02-07T21:44:42.958-06:00I love the stories of the boys' names.I love the stories of the boys' names.
