Name Tag

Thrifty Mommy just tagged me to describe the names we gave our children. Our children both have very plain, very old-fashioned names. In fact, I’ve been accused of giving them “grandpa and grandma” names. And, actually, those are exactly what they are. My son’s name starts with a B to honor his paternal grandfather whose name was Boris. With our daughter’s name we got to honor my great-aunt who is very important to me, but it is also my mother’s middle name, and one of my grandmother’s first names (she had three). It’s also a name that exists in many forms in all the cultures we live in Maria, Miriam, Marie, Moire. My reasons for choosing the names we did are in this post.

How did you choose your children’s names?
