Suggested Names

Hi again. I know what everyone is saying about how we should butt out of my sister and BIL's decision of KleeAnne and Rylo, but our parents have now crossed a new line and suggested, that's putting it lightly, names for the twins. Whether or not you agree with our parents butting in, what do you think of these names?

Girl: Meredith Lorna Jane
Boy: Carlton Nathaniel Thomas

Those names aren't used too much, right?

How 'bout LeeAnne and Ryan - they sound like a compromise

I'll tell my parents about those two names - thanks. What are your suggestions on middle names, though? The tradition is two middle names.

Some thoughts...

Hmm, LeeAnne is already composed of 2 names, don't you think another 2 names would be too much? Just my opinion... How about
LeeAnne Savannah -
1. Lee = meadow, pairs up with Savannah ;)
2. Or Lee as a form of Leah - gazelle + Anne - grace -> LeeAnne = graceful gazelle - sounds good with Savannah :)
3. Or Lee as a form of Leah, which could mean "mistress" -> LeeAnne Savannah - graceful mistress of the savannah and
Ryan Gratian Leslie -
Ryan - little king, Gratian - graceful, Leslie - meadow land -> Ryan Gratian Leslie - graceful king of the meadow. I do hope your BIL's last name is not Leslie :)...
Hope that stirs some ideas :o)

I forgot...

You can add Ryan Gratian Blair and LeeAnne Sharon to the "graceful master of the plain" theme :o)

I personally would change atleast the order on the girl name, Meredith is a little strange. Carlton isnt that bad, and Nathaniel is pretty good. But adding Thomas and Jane is a little much..
