I can't believe you met another Dawn with a Starr sister.<br /><br />I had a friend named, Erin. She said that movies about strippers always had an Erin. At first, I scoffed. Erin? But then I saw two movies that had scenes with exotic dancers, each had an Erin.Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801207462566510326.post-77371796237704990162010-02-16T08:59:43.952-08:002010-02-16T08:59:43.952-08:00I somehow missed this post when it was new... huh?...I somehow missed this post when it was new... huh?<br /><br />I wanted all of my children to have strong names that were neither frivolous or flighty sounding for adults.<br /><br />My ex husband chose our 2nd daughters name but as it was a little girly we gave her Elizabeth as a middle name with the thought that when she grew up and became a doctor or lawyer she could use the 'grown up' name. Now it is quite popular, but at the time her first name wasn't so we were worried.<br /><br />My 3 youngest children have 2 middle names each. It just made sense in a weird way at the time and it still does. Thank Goodness since they are all in middle school now it's a tad too late to change now.<br /><br />I gave my kids names with positive meanings because the ones my sister and I got are well...<br />Dawn and Starr? Really? Yep that's our names.<br />And the kicker is... I met another Dawn with a sister named Starr a few years ago. I guess her mother was odd too.Or thought her girls would be exotic dancers someday.

When my husband and I decide to have kids, we'll have to pick a name that's easy to pronounce in Russian, English, AND Hebrew and has meaning in all three...easy, right? Since we already know an Adam and a David we can't go with those.Vickihttp://blog.vickiboykis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801207462566510326.post-71546568870735909692010-02-01T13:24:17.237-08:002010-02-01T13:24:17.237-08:00Kathleen, in this quiz, if you get an A+, it means...Kathleen, in this quiz, if you get an A+, it means your parents were out there, so that may be as bad as getting an F-. Pilot Inspektor is bad, but I think that Blanket may be the worst celebrity baby name, though I don't know if that's his real name or a nickname. Either way....

I have many friends who've had babies in the last few months and it's interesting to see how the names are chosen and what concessions are made.<br /><br />I took the quiz and my parents got a C- for naming me Kathleen.<br /><br />I think the strangest celebrity baby name to date must be Pilot Inspektor (son of Jason Lee)...but maybe he'd get an A+ for originality?!kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027754898527340522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801207462566510326.post-33424796710378013942010-02-01T03:06:09.129-08:002010-02-01T03:06:09.129-08:00Sarah, I'll keep an eye out for your post.

Fir...How interesting. My middle name is Theresa....<br />First name:Barbra....I was named after my mom's two favorite saint's. <br />Actually, a cousin named Barbara died (purely by coincidence) when I was born as well. Everyone assumed I would named for her. Whenever we get together I have to hear the whole story...death & all.....<br />Ahem.<br />Aside from that, I believe we would have had the some name....Barbra The Bloggesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05865022092066354784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801207462566510326.post-91033077168831982562010-01-31T19:15:18.465-08:002010-01-31T19:15:18.465-08:00I do the exact same thing--give characters names m...I do the exact same thing--give characters names my husband didn't like and we couldn't use. <br /><br />We were both named after relatives and decided early on that our kids would have completely orginal names. But I'm glad I didn't let my oldest have a say in naming her brother--she wanted to name him Cinderella. :)Jackeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03351019926958000627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801207462566510326.post-26312437667134257702010-01-31T19:00:16.954-08:002010-01-31T19:00:16.954-08:00I loved reading this because I have been thinking ...I loved reading this because I have been thinking about naming quite a bit lately.

There's so much riding on a name so your whole family picked theirs with such care and attention.<br /><br />I just keep thinking back to celebrities and the names they give their children. Posh and David Beckham named their eldest boy Brooklyn because he was conceived there. I mean, imagine if he was conceived in oh I don't know, Antarctica!<br /><br />Anyway, my parents got an F! Which is hilarious! Absolutely no originality whatsoever.<br /><br />:-)<br /><br />Thanks for that facebook link -made my day.<br /><br />Take care<br /><br />xOld Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185547869183611159noreply@blogger.com
