i think marie is a great middle name (as mine is!). i'm a Tina Marie. not many of those anymore (i'm 30 now).
our son's name is Raven Cain. Cain and Raven are the only 2 names we agreed on.
We decided on Cain first as a non traditional biblical type of name and Raven i saw in a baby name book as "dark haired child" and thought it would be nice to represent my husbands line of Native American heiritage.
we also decided against using names already in our family so that neither side would be depressed or offended we used the other persons name, etc.
Raven is the only Raven in his school (girl or boy) and since he has dark hair and beautiful brown eyes, it suits him.
also, alot of kids in his school right now are named after cities. We have Dallas's, Austins, etc. (yep, i'm in Texas).
and i have always wanted to name my little girl a pretty name that could be shortened to a boy name. (don't know why) like Victoria/Vikki, Alexandra(or Alexandria)/Alex, Nikoletta/Nik or Nicki, etc.
sorry if i wasn't much help! i will tell you i aLWays hated being known as "tina b." we had a "tina s." i wonder if she hated being known that way too... |
