Aloha Friday #11


From Island Life:

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!


My question is:

Do you use family names?

My son is named after my grandmother...

And my brother is a combination of my uncles...

His name is Ashton and he is named after my Uncle ASHley and Uncle TONy.

Aloha~

    They all have a varriation of James in their names..

  2. LOVE how you combined the family names to make one that's even NICER!

    Our three children's names feature OLD family names, from 8-10 generations back: Abigail, Jonathan, and Nathaniel. Just love the old-fashioned names!

  11. Initially my son's middle name was going to be after my hubby, dad, and his dad. But then my grandfather died right before he was born, so now he has two middle names...we added my grandpa's middle name. My daughter's middle name is mine.

  14. Not really.

    I find names that I think are strong and that I like.

    I didn't want to start a tradition of naming my children after anyone, because I didn't want jealousy to reign.

    However I did pass on my middle name.

  17. Other than our son who passed away, no, we used our own names that we liked for our kids. Our other son was named after his father.

  18. My ex and I used family names for the boys middle names, but I picked strong names for their first names:
    Nikolaus William (dad's middle name is William, but also turned out to be my second husbands first name - haha)
    Alexander Alfred (Alfred is my ex FIL's name who passed away at 56 yrs, old right before I got pregnant with him)
