[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 727105, member: 1233"] I went to high school with at least six girls with a variation of Susan. Often we were in the same class, which drove teachers NUTS. It did help that there were different spellings, Suzie, Suzanne, etc... My daughter was named after a relative I never got to meet. I wanted to have a daughter with that name from the time I was very young, maybe 5 or 6, but always thought my cousins on that side would use the name first. I don't like cousins with the same name, so I would not have used it if they did, at least not as a first name. I got lucky though, and none of them used it. My boys names were just names that hubby and I both liked and could agree on. Early in the naming process I did have to put my foot down and take the final veto power for myself. Only because my darling husband kept coming up with truly strange names. He wanted my oldest to have the initials BVD. I can only imagine what junior high and high school would be like with those initials. At one point they thought we might be having twins. He came up with names like Random and Constant, or Tangent and Vector. No. Not just no but He(( NO!! I think I told him he could name anything he gave birth to. I did like the name Sera Daphnia, but it is the name of a water flea that hubby worked with in a lab. I just couldn't name a child after a water flea. "Yes, child, I named you after a water flea. Don't be offended. I do love you, but I named you after a bug." I just couldn't imagine saying that to a child of mine!! My brother always swore his children would be named Cimarron and Hearth. When asked what he would do if the mother didn't like those names, he said her opinion didn't really matter, they would be HIS children. Niece is not named either of those things. Not even for her middle name. Names are so interesting. Will your children consider your input? Or is this just grandmotherly speculation? [/QUOTE]
