What's in a name?
about naming babies.
After reading this article i realized that the pattern that John and i have followed, is naming our children after other family members in one way or another.
- Cameron- full name is Cameron David John Goleski. Cameron is my maternal grandparents surname. This name was going to be used whether it was a boy or a girl. David is my step-fathers middle name. John was for my husband and his father (being sr. and jr.). This is the most obvious use of other family names that we have used.
- Victoria- full name is Victoria Katherine Goleski. John's grandfather was named Frank Victor and i have an Uncle Victor. I told John no way will i name a boy Victor in this day and age but i will name a girl Victoria. Katherine we picked just because we liked the way it sounded with Victoria.....we were later informed by my father-in-law that John has an Aunt Katherine. Go figure
- This baby gender yet unknown- For a boy full name will be Patrick Allan Goleski. This is also the name we had picked if Victoria had been a boy. Patrick being the masculine form of my mothers name (Patricia), and Allan is John and his fathers middle name. For a girl full name will be Elizabeth Ann Goleski. Elizabeth is just a name we like (John likes it because it is a regal name...think Queen Victoria....Queen Elizabeth), and Ann is my mothers middle name.
How did you come up with the names for your children? Have you followed any patterns?
