[Opinions] Re: What are your twins' names, if you don't mind sharing? :-) nt
I have been asked this before an am reluctant to share considering leaving their names open for ridicule, which I do not want. Maybe if I tell you the reason, maybe there will be less ridicule... maybe not. My daughter is Kamrynn Marie. Cameron is my grandfather's middle name, as well as my favorite cousin in the world. But even while growing up, it sounded too soft to me to be masculine and have ALWAYS thought it sounded like a girl. So I decided to go against the grain and pick it based off what I felt was appropriate. I changed it from a C to a K because I thought that was more feminine (to get it away from the masculine as much as I could). And, I always thought the spelling looked wrong... like there is no reason for the e in it. Made no sense to me. So in trying to figure that out, was thinking how I could also honor my 29 year old cousin that was killed 3 years ago. After a while, I realized that having her name as a part of my child's name was way too tender... and ever time I said my little girl's name, it would actually be very sad to me instead of happy. So decided against it, but realized that one time, I told her before she died that her daughter Rynn, sounded so much like the ending of Cameron. Then it came to me... put Rynn in Cameron, and that way I will have honored someone she loves, but am able to keep it not so sad. So that is how Kamrynn was born. Marie is my grandma's middle name (the twins were born on her birthday)... and I am so glad I did it, considering she passed away 1 week ago.My son is Bridger Ace. Had a 3rd cousin name their child Bridger, and always thought it was odd until I heard the song "Love Can Build a Bridge" by the Judd's. Am not into country music, but that song had me bawling my eyes out. Anyway, I thought that if I ever had a son, I would hope that he would be a bridge to bring people together and mend hearts. Then I thought, "Why not call him Bridge?" Then I remembered my 3rd cousin's son, and then all of a sudden I loved it and knew in my heart that was to be his name. Ace is the name my husband decided on because he has always wanted to be a pilot and has not fulfilled that dream yet, and is hoping his son (and even his daughters) will have an appreciation of the freeness and elation of flying as he does... therefore Ace, after an "ace pilot".That's the story, sorry it is so long, but I thought it necessary to explain, as I could not bear the thought of someone on this board being insensitive with comments regarding these carefully picked out names... especially one in particular that is so tender to me.
