Neeve is correct. Everyone asks if its like the actress Neve Campbell, but hers is pronounced "Nev"

And Maeve is with a long "a" - like May

[wtc911]

Right, like some wacky Boomers didn't stick their kids with names like Space Moonbeam...

Who did that?

Well, 'patronymics' is a grand idea, as you've noticed. And, it's been tried in Wales, as you noticed.

The Welsh named their children ap John (Jones); ap Richard (Richards); ap William (Williams)with the result being LOTS of Jones et al with euphonious and VERY common names!

Oh God! I guess I'm lucky with the name I got saddled with!

I'll bet she's a cutie!

Definitely!
I love her to pieces.

Here she is a few weeks ago.
A thunderstorm scared her and she wanted to come sit in the living room with me.

A girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, that reminds me........anybody know what ever happened to Mark Lemonjello, major league pitcher? He was in Houston for a time and I think ended up somewhere in New York. That name has stuck with me all these years. :)

[Constitution Day]

Wow, I didn't know that, PL!

CONGRATS!

Guess this means I need to get busy.

I know a 3 different couples who named their daughter Morgan because they liked the rum

Or were created under the influence thereof? ;)

I didnt say he was a redneck & he prefers MJ. lol

"I just knew he would say "Winston" at least once. "

My daughter's name is Rachel Erin. I was completely shocked when our pastor, during Rachel's dedication ceremony, called her Rachel 'Urine'.

Riiiiggggggghhhhhttttt

My first born male... Rush Hudson ####

At first I thought it said Rock Hudson

[rwrcpa1]

Bet they never thought of that!

[Allegra]

If I'd walked into an elementary school in 1996 and called for "Tyler", I think all of the kids would've turned around.

And in '86, Jessica or Jason would have had the same result.

Nobody names their son Roy anymore.

I caught a lizard and kept him as a pet for a couple of days when I was about nine years old.

I named him Roy. I just thought it was a cool name for a cool lizard.

[Gefreiter]

"Steve" would've been cool, too.

[ßuddaßudd]

Funny that you mention your pet lizard. My friends pet Savannah Monitor died monday and his name was Mac Dre. (no, I'm not a fan of his)

[billygoatgruff]

Shallow Pitt.

And if you choose to give your sons the middle name of "Wayne", they will most surely have a good chance to be famous for something in their future. And famous doesn't always mean good!
