I was speaking with my mom the other day about names and she said that I was suppose to be a Kim or Kristen and ended up Diane.....lol I was curious how many of you had your name picked then changed your mind once you saw little one?

My cousin was the same as well she picked Christian and then went with Nicholas which wasn't even on her list of names she liked!

I was supposed to be Rebecca Jane but was named Adrea (hate my middle name so I never tell anyone). I just have to put a plea out there to not give your baby a hideous name just because it was your grandma/grandpa/aunt etc. Maybe come up with a nice name using parts of their name or name a park after them instead It's not hiding it when you use it for a middle name either, I've been required to put my middle name on several documents

When I had my DD I had picked the name Rae-Leigh, but my five year old nephew said he liked the name "Montana", and after saying it a few times I really liked it. So when she was born I looked at her and she looked like a Montana so we went with that one!

My name was going to either by Ashley or Sarah .... both VERY popular names at the time ... I guess I looked like an Ashley LOL

Now my youngest brother .... my parents couldn't decide until he was 3 days old LOL ....

Our LO is due soon ... so we'll see if the names we've chosen stick!

My parents named me Erin, because they like the name (Erin Grey was a well known actress around the time, so that's where they heard it.) But I always think it's because it's the female version of Aaron (Elvis's middle name) because my dad is a huge fan

I love Irish names, and since my FH is Irish, I think we'll go with Irish names for our future kids.

When I was first pregnant, I was brushing my teeth and the name "Annaliese" popped into my head. Very pretty, I thought and told it to my DH who thought it was too hard to say. It also isn't the greatest with our last names because it has a lot of "s" sounds too. OK, so we looked at a lot of other names and both liked "Cora". Well, DH liked Cora, and I could live with Cora. I have a great aunt Cora so I picture an 80-year old lady when I think Cora and besides, she was supposed to be a boy, so I wasn't too concerned.

Out she came and she is definitely not a Cora. I revived Annaliese because I like the story and using the argument that he got to name our first daughter. She so looks like an Annaliese.

I was supposed to be Caroline (I JUST posted in the middle name thread), which I like alot better than the name they decided on (Marie-Eve).

My sister's name is Catherine so they thought Caroline was too similar to my sister's name.  Booooooo !

Happily married since the 20th of October 2007
