Re: Names you thought you'd hate but don't
in reply to a message by Leontine
Victoria… Vivienne… May… Kelsey… Rae (as a middle only)… mostly all girls names. I used to have very odd taste in girls names…
I actually used one of them for my daughter. I never thought much about it until I was reading a book, before I got pregnant with her. Somewhere in the book was a “beautiful little girl with blonde ringlets and green eyes” (it reminded me of pics from when I was little… my mom always had my hair curled and I had green eyes) and for some reason it stuck with me. I suggested it to DH when we found out we were having a girl, along with about 20 other names I liked.
I think I was being somewhat hopeful she might look something like me! All of our kids looked exactly like DH and his family.
We decided on her given name and he picked her other, and told me when she was born. (I asked him to keep it a surprise, as long as he chose it from the list of names I really liked).
She still looks nothing like me, has big beautiful brown eyes, but she did end up with blonde hair. And I curl it a lot :)
