do you like joining your name and your hubby for your first born?

not personally... that would have made an awful name lol

You I kinda did that with our first ...family tradition from both sides I think at times that is ok . But there are times that I donot think it is alright . Depends on what you come up with

in my case i did that in my second daughter..thinking that it was a unique name! but i was disappointed!

It depends on how it sounds LOL. I don't like the idea of combining our name if it will just make our kid embarrased if someone call his/her name. I want he/she feel proud with his/her name.

really? cay you write it here? let the member be the judge!

Most the people I know have shared in the baby naming. Sometimes the mother chose the first name, and the father chose the last or vis versa. Other times, a child (like me) is given more than one middle name to suffice both sides.

My first middle name is my sister's first name, and my 2nd one is my Aunt's first name.

I think naming a baby is a big responsibility. Many times a person's name defines him. I think you should name a child what you want him/her to become. It helps if you get a book on names and find out what different names mean. Because names have meanings. Sometimes parents are so careless in naming their child, and the child suffers the burden of having that name for the rest of his life.

I didn't do that. My husband and I looked threw baby name books and decided on a name that we both liked for our first born. We did the same for our 2nd and 3rd. For my daughter I wanted to join my name and my husbands name to make the name Carlee for our daughter. My husband wouldn't go for it. He knew someone named Carlee and didn't care for her.

I think naming the baby should be at the moment his parents saw him. When they saw the baby it will give them the idea on what name they will come up to because they will base the name with the looks and the manners of the baby itself. I think combining parent's name is ok but if it is not too long.

No, my ex and I went for totally original names, we didn't even take into consideration what the parents thought as we thought it was up to us to find names for our daughters. If I were to do it again, I would do the same thing.

Combing the names of the father and mother would certainly bring out a unique name. This is a common practice of some parents here. But as for my son, he was named by his father. though he said that it was still some how a combination of our name. but totally it is just a common name
