My Dad (who is a living saint) and Bryan's Dad are Darryle and Melvin so we had to dig a little deeper to find something we wanted to pass on. Goerge is actually William St. George. William was my Dad's father's name and also my husband's great-grandfather's name. St. George is a family name on Bryan's side too. We had settled on it IF he was a boy about 90% and once we found out about the baby's heart defect and remembered the story of St. George, we knew if it was a boy, that's what he would be. My girl name has been the same since I was in 8th grade. My maternal grandmother was Eloise. I can't wait to hear what name your baby girl ends up with! <br />elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06886420975795192970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7089393369502570478.post-68163755538966481522014-08-04T15:38:16.627-04:002014-08-04T15:38:16.627-04:00We chose John Fletcher.

After he was born, my husband's grandfather did some research and it turns out there was a great-great-great Uncle Fletcher on the family tree!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02968525040083967204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7089393369502570478.post-15232475144259970232014-07-31T14:25:31.619-04:002014-07-31T14:25:31.619-04:00Miss Anne Caswell was supposed to be a double name...Miss Anne Caswell was supposed to be a double name. Anne is my mother's middle name and my confirmation name and Anne Caswell was my great grandmother's sister. Of course once Matthew mentioned calling her Wells for short as a special nickname it kind of stuck permanently.<br /><br />Tagg is really Edward Taggart after Matthew's great grandfather. He is Matthew Edward after him. Matthew informed me on our second date that he always loved his great-grandfather's name and would one day have a son name Tagg in his honor. I'm down with that.<br /><br />It's pretty special to have such classic and meaningful names with a modern twist for nicknames. Growing up in Virginia you can't just be named something and called that too ;)<br />Julia Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17077799760284042276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7089393369502570478.post-45218818220258259842014-07-31T13:08:30.987-04:002014-07-31T13:08:30.987-04:00We did family names for SS.

Our boy name was compiled of names we liked but the girl name was all family. So Mary Tilman Adelle is comprised of both sides of the family and we will call her Mary Tilman.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03915709827821268739noreply@blogger.com
