Show Us Your Life: Kid's names

Show Us Your Life with Kelly's Korner

Time for another Show us your Life from Kelly's Korner blog, names of our children or future children. It took us a while to choose our son's name. For some reason, girls name are so much easier to come up with and Evan wanted to make sure his son's name was macho enough, haha. He shot down about every name I threw out there for about 5 months. Some of his ideas were Nathan and Robert. Some of my ideas were Patrick, Preston and Max. None of those stood out with flashing lights and sirens so we moved on.  Evan's family is Norwegian so we had a thought of naming our son a Norwegian name. Well....most of the names we either couldn't pronounce, his teachers/friends wouldn't be able to pronounce them or he would just be made fun of. We thought about family names, looked at thousands of names online, bought a couple baby books and had some input from my co worker who loved coming up with cool baby names.
Finally, our precious boy's name:

Dillon Thomas

Dillon: Like a lion, loyal  Thomas: Twin


When we found Dylan in a baby book, we both liked the name, which was a big ding ding ding! Evan doesn't like y's in names so we changed the spelling to Dillon. That is pretty much why we chose the name Dillon. Thomas is Evan's brother's middle name and his Uncle's middle name. We want to include a family name in all our children's middle names. After we decided on his name, we found out Dylan Thomas was a famous poet and writer in the 1930's. It was quite fitting since we both have a lot of writers in our family-published and non published. 
Our girl's name was easy to decide on: Carly Anne We both liked Carly because it not very common and sounds like sweet little girl who would never yell at her mommy and daddy, haha. Anne is my mother's middle name.   Lets hope we have a girl next, considering how hard it was to come up with a boys name! Or we will just name him Carly! haha!
