parias1126 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 My DD is about 8 weeks away from delivering a little boy. She was going to give the baby the family name, Wayne, after her fiance. Well, she is now having second thoughts and says she needs to find a name that she really loves so she can switch it and present the idea to her fiance. So far she has Landen for the first name. What sounds perfect with Landen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairytalemama Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 How about Wayne? :001_smile: That's what happened with my younger sister. Her husband was set on naming their son Richard after himself and his father. My sister loved the name Finn. The verdict ---- Finn Richard...and all parties were happy (mostly ;)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakereese Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) I don't have any suggestions, but I do think it is nice to use a name that has some sort of meaning instead of a name that just sounds great. Not that is necessarily has to be Wayne, but maybe another family name? It means a lot to family members when a family name is used (and its probably important to your DD's fiance). Maybe have her search both families for names. Family surnames make great middle names. Or at least they did in our family. ;) Edited March 9, 2011 by blakereese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melinda in VT Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Why is she rethinking Wayne? That's the baby's father's name, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parias1126 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 What about Landen Wayne? Landen Wayne is what she is currently set on, but has decided she doesn't want to use her fiancé's name. She needs another name (other then Wayne) that goes with Landen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairytalemama Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Ok I am seriously :lol: !!!! Wayne is the current middle name to be that she is rethinking!!:lol::lol: I'm sorry. I must be losing it. I thought that the first name was supposed to be Wayne and she was going to change it to Landen and wanted a middle name to go with that! :lol: Okay---well if that's the case, I'm all for one syllable middle names if you've got a first name with more than one syllable. How about James or Joel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristusG Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Landen Blake Landen Cade Landen Michael Landen Jacob Landen Micah Landen Caleb Love the name Landen! Although I do prefer it the traditional way of Landon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittleWonders Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Landen James sounds very nice. I also like Landen Thomas. I agree with a PP who said to look at names on both sides of the family tree ... dh and I ended up using our (deceased) grandparents' names for our kids middle names. The boys each have one of our grandfathers' names as their middle name and dd has my grandma's name as her (second) middle name (she has two ;) ).

LidiyaDawn Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I wouldn't put 'Michael' with it unless you want people to always think of Charles Ingalls :p I think 'James' sounds good with it... Morris? Joseph? William? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy101 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I think you couldn't pay me enough money to get between a couple on naming their first baby. Especially when it comes to men passing on their family names. Nope. Be the Switzerland of grandmothers. Oy! Maybe Switzer?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
