Hey Kelly!

Thanks for tagging Dumb Little Man. The last time we responded to something l like this, our readers got nasty because they don’t care about me…just my tips to make life better… I wish it were different but that’s what we built.

However, I will gladly answer you here.

I have been married for 7 years and I have 2 kids (WE’RE DONE, NO MORE!).

Frankie is 16 months old and Isabella just turned 4. Isabella got her name simply on it’s beauty. We had no real reason for choosing that name but we both loved it (4 years ahead of the trend I might add!).

Frankie is named after my wife’s quiet, yet loving father. He is an amazing person that sacrificed SO MUCH for his kids. In fact, I wish I knew him earlier in life. He is quiet and somewhat intimidating (total Italian guy) but he tells it like it is and he’s never concerned with what others think. I could have used that lesson in my own life 20 years ago. I have never mustered the courage to really get deep and admit my admiration for him, however I myself try to emulate his passion for the family and if my son, Frankie were to end up like his grandfather, I would be very pleased.

Congrats on your July delivery…Do you know if it’s a boy/girl yet?

Hey, thanks for participating! I am enjoying learning more about everyone and their children. I wish you a safe delivery and a healthy son.

BTW, you need to fix the links for Dumb Little Man and Dawn. You have their link going to Haloscan. Just thought you’d like to know.

[...] 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. [...]

You daughter’s name is the same as mine! In the long form, anyway. I’ll do this this afternoon my time.

I’m glad you tagged Kate. I was going to tag her, but I was only supposed to tag 5. I thought about tagging more than 5 anyway.

You’ll have to clue me into Little Man’s first name.
