[Facts] How does this sound???
I have two children (Bridget Michelle and Caitlyn Mary - called Caty). I'm pregnant with number three but it's too early to tell yet (but we're hoping third times a charm for a boy - even the dog is a girl!!!) What sounds good with "Gibson"? I like Angela Jane (after the grandmothers - it also gives us "A B C") for a girl and Brendan Noel for a boy; my husband wants Kieran (after the Japanese beer not the Irish saint) and Sinead for a girl, but I think those are too hard to pronounce outside our very Irish family. My father-in-law wants Robert Patrick III but we already have 5 Roberts in the family, including a 6 year old cousin. Any suggestions/combinations would be helpful (we'd like to keep it Irish/English so it flows with the last name).

How about Braidy Gibson, it goes with either a boy or a girl!

Wow, Jen, you have the "perfect" name for everyone. I do have to admit, though, I do like Braidy.

Well, don't put all your money on this one being a boy! My family has five girls and no boys. I know a family that had 6 girls, a boy, and then another girl. Don't go wallpapering the nursery with racecars just yet!

What about Kendrick. It's meaning is a little sketchy, but it's gaelic and you could go with either Kendrick Robert Gibson, or Kendrick Kieran Gibson, the first to keep the family thing going. I really like the second. It sounds very distinguished. I like unusual names, so Kieran is obviously my fav. for a middle name, and there really aren't too many Kendrick's ou there.

Not that I am a genious in these matters butBut what about sticking to Patrick?
Drop that Robert III thing it sounds as if he is royal or something.
I do not know what Patrick means, but it sounds great and it is also a saints name AND that saint is very special to the irish folks.
What more can you ask? Being Irish I mean:)-Selwyn
