My hubby picked out our girls name, Katheryn, but I did the spelling.  I wanted something different with the spelling and this is more the spanish version, so that what we did.  I also love it when you take "ie" and make it a 'y".  That's me, and for her middle name I got to choose, and I wanted to do my hubbies name, for girls, Michelle.

Oh we had so many troubles with girls names! When I do finally have a boy we have that under control but with the girls I just come up with as many names as I can think of and Daniel shoots them all down.

Caitlin I wanted to name after my favourite song "Cailin" but Daniel thought of Cailin (Kaelan) as a boys name so the closest thing was Caitlin! We spelt it this way as there are SO many ways that you can spell it I thought this was the traditional way and went with it. Her middle name is Ashley for no reason other than that was the only other name we decided on!! They could have been either way but it seemed to flow of the tongue nicer this way!

This one we are back having the same troubles! I say every name I can think of, have read, have been told and he shoots them all down! At this moment in time we actually both like Annabelle but we still have 3 more months for him to change his mind!!!

Good luck!

Oh dear this will make you ALL laugh!!

My eldest Samantha got her name for two reasons . .  One because I loved "Samantha' the witch on Bewitched and two because her abusive father hated the name and he let me go through my labour and emergency c-section on my own  . .

My Son Daniel William was named of my grandfather as he was the 1st boy to be born in our family in 2 generations . .

My second daughter Danesha got her name from me watching 'Ricky Lake' . . . I was up and down all night with 24 hour sickness (not morning sickness, hehe) and the only thing to watch was Ricky Lake . . I fell in live with the name BUT changed its spelling to be more Aussie . . The American way is Daneisha . .

Then there is Sumara . . While I was pregnant with her I was addicted to horror movies, the scarier the better! ! ! ! The name Sumara comes from the Movie "The Ring", Sumara was the evil little girl who did all the killings . .  I loved the name and when I did a name search on it I learned its real meaning was 'gift from god' and since Sumara was conceived without IVF I knew I had found the perfect name . . I also adapted the spelling from Samara to Sumara because I didn't want to Sam's in the house . . .

we chose our kids names after Chris's grandfather and grandmother. Charlotte (Louise) but we named her Jane as we dont like louise and Alexander James. the other names were Thomas something. LOL and izabel jane.

How we chose our girls' names was a long process. My husband bought books and went through the names that he thought were nice, and my job was to shoot them down. LOL  After a loooooooooooong time, we settled on Jordan and Kaitlyn. But Kaitlyn's spelling was a little different, so we eventually stuck with Katelyn instead.

Their middle names are derivations of my name. Since in my husband's family, there is a tradition of naming the first born sons with Henry (either the first or middle name), I had to get mine in there for the girls. I don't think it'll be a tradition, but it's just what we decided.

So the girls are:  Jordan Elizabeth and Katelyn Marie.   My name is Maria Isabel, so that's where Marie and Elizabeth came from.

Hi! Thanks for the add to this group. Im not altogether sure mine qualify as Princesses, as they are tomboys (well, the oldest absolutely is but Im not certain about the youngest yet). But tomboys are still girls with their own set of challenges!

Names - well Emma got her name as it was one I'd always wanted to use. I'd known several Emmas, & none of them spoiled the name, and DH liked it too. We couldnt agree on a middle name until after she was born. We got out the Baby-names book and I turned to "B": "she cant have a middle name starting with A" I commented to DH. "What's wrong with the initials MAR?" he asked puzzled. I had to point out Emma does not start with an "M" - what sleep deprivation did to him LOL! So she got Bethany, as it sounded right with Emma. I was arguing for Bethan, as I'd seen someone on TV with it, but DH didnt like it.

Sophie was going to be a boy. We were all sure of that, until the 20 week scan! She would probably have been Thomas. So we had to come up with something, but we'd run out of favourites already. I liked Sophie (remember Sophie in Home & Away?) but DH wasnt convinced. Having failed to find anything else we could agree on, he practised by calling bump "Sophie" for a while, and managed to come round. After she was born, we really were scraping the barrel for a middle name. As Sophie is short we decided, as with Emma, that we needed a longer middle name. After about a week of disagreeing, we finally settled on Elizabeth, the name of one of our friends kids. Only then did MIL, who'd been trying to help us while trying not to influence us, admit she was hoping for Elizabeth as it was her mum's middle name.

I went for straightforward spellings as we have an oft-misspelt surname, and I went through school with a common Christian name uncommonly spelt, so wanted to avoid my girls being lumbered with correcting everyone as I was/still am!

Awww what a lovely question :)

Lawrence and I have a funny story about this...

We called our daughter Alisha because...
when he was working at his old place, his boss's name was: "Alisha"
and it never really struck a bell until I found a work note written by his boss...
and she signed her name in a really fancy, calligraphy-style way..
and I told Lawrence:
"Ooh, the name "Alisha" looks cool that way"
and he agreed with me...
So we decided that when we had kids, our first ever girl would be named "Alisha"
And when we found out I was pregnant, we just KNEW what the name would be :)

So that's why we also spelt it that particular way...
Because we thought it looked cool in his bosses' handwriting ! hahahaha
The spelling just looked unique and different  to us :)

Your going to laugh at this one. My oldest girl was named Annabelle from my favourite book when i was 4. It was a golden book called "little mummy". I don't know why but it was my favourite name for many years.

Samantha was named after my favourite tv show, Bewitched. I wanted to be her badly when i was a kid LOL.

Keiraleah was harder to pick. I was going to  call her Melody but my cousin beat me to it. Someone mentioned the name and i liked it. it stuck but i changed the spelling a bit.

Now twin bubba girl is going to be named Jacquelyn just because i like it and i wanted a name to end in lyn. don't know why but it kept coming into my head LOL
