More Baby Names

Now not only did my children have unusual names (see previous post) but the tradition carried on with my grandchildren.

Varinia has 5 children and they are named:

Sebastian Walter Emerick
Ishta Christina - pretty normal
Ayla Elizabeth Frances Crossley - She is going to hate her mother when she has to sign legal papers
Demelza Hermione Ngaire
Ce'Nedra Sardia Anoushka

Anjasa's boys are called Gage and Garion.

Jurgon's little girl is called Rowena Jane. His partner has 3 children from a previous marriage and they are Stephen, Eric and Robert, just nice normal names.

My suggestion is to call your baby whatever you like, after all it is your baby, and there is nothing wrong with giving baby their own distinctive name. You can always give a family name as the middle name.

Although do think about silly names or initials, I know a girl whose name is Theresa Beer. It's not really fair on the kid to have to put up with endless teasing at school.

Naming Baby

One of the things that new mums and dads to be focus on is what are they going to name the baby.

Do they choose a relative name for the the first or at least the middle name, are the happy to choose something totally unrelated to the family and p everyone off.

It really makes a dilemma of the whole naming process, in what should be a stress free happy time.

Well I went against all family conventions when I named my children, and they have funnily enough, followed suit. So here are what my kids got landed with:

Varinia - after Spartacus's wife
Jurgon - after a friend ( bit of a story to this one which I will relate in a mo)
Anjasa - after the heroine in a foreign film "Seduced and Abandoned".

I did register her as Moira Fiona but my husband was firmly committed to Anjasa.

So what happened with Jurgon. I was going to call him Sascha. Well one night after he was born my husband arrived at the hospital and said he would like to call the baby Jurgon. It appears that a long time friend of ours whom we knew as John, was actually named Jurgon.

John and his partner Alan had just purchased a couple of daschunds which they called Gerda and Jurgon. My husband questioned where the name Jurgon came from and it turned out to be Johns actual name.

I of course indignantly refused to name the baby after a dog so guess what, yep, they changed the dogs name to Sascha. No contest. The baby was named Jurgon Yuri Victor. I know it's a mouthful, but he was born on cosmonauts day - hence the Yuri, and Victor was after my grandfather.

Here are some books that will help if you are in a dilemma over what to name your bundle of joy.
