[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 613360, member: 3493"] LOL! Sam and Jake were my grandpas' names. My uncles were Max, Stanley, Marty and David; my dad was Harry. David is the only name in the bunch I'd actually call a kid. My other kids are named after these people (except Max, Stan and Harry who were still alive when I had kids). Oldest boy is Steven after Grandpa Sam (with Hebrew name Shmuel Yaakov after both grandpas). I still think all of these are old Jewish guy names and I laugh when I see little kids with them. MWM - easy child's middle name is Luke, which I love even though we're Jewish. When I was pregnant with him, Menachem Begin was assassinated. easy child was my 4th baby and I was running out of dead relatives, so the rabbi suggested we name him Menachem. I almost fell over laughing - my last name is VERY Irish, like my H. So he would've been Menachem O'Donnell (not our real last name but on the same track). I couldn't burden a child with a name like that. Also, when the other kids were told easy child's name, they started calling him " first name Luke Skywalker." Also, girls' name were SO hard. I wanted a specific name for daughter but during my pregnancy, H's cousin called me. She was named after their mutual grandma. I had wanted to name daughter after the grandma, since she had died by then, but the cousin asked to use the name for her expected D, she already had 2 sons. I relinquished the name and when my daughter was 3 months old, cousin had twin sons! daughter was given the Irish version of the name. It took us 4 days after daughter was born to come up with her name and 6 days for easy child's name. One of her friends from school is named Micah, though it's usually a boy's name. The name Ryan first came to my mind from a little girl who rode the bus with oldest boy in pre-school. I have a friend who named her D Melanie Rhian but I think of Ryan as a boy's name. When I was pregnant with oldest boy, my mother in law didn't like my chosen name of Steven, so I told her I was naming him Tyrone Rasheed. Suddenly, Steven sounded fine and now she tells people it was HER idea and I wanted to give him a Muslim name (and I'm Jewish!). How about Daniel, Ian, Jonathan, Robert? All nice standard names that will not subject its owner to ridicule. [/QUOTE]
