Re: Parents: How did you choose a name for your kid?
in reply to a message by KK
My husband and I have different last names, so first we decided which one we'd use for the baby; neither of us liked our names hyphenated. We agreed on an honoring middle name and a first name all his own. Then I bought a huge baby name book (I hadn't found this website yet) and started making an enormous list (I like knowing all my options). We decided which of our fathers we were going to honor (only one middle name for us). Eventually, we narrowed it down to two first names; my husband liked them both equally, so he let me choose.
