Re: Sib set Opinion!!
in reply to a message by NOM
Hi NOM !!!These names are not my style at all.
They are all so unisex and surnamey.What about these? Why do you want to choose these surmames as FN? Have they a history in your life or they are only a trendy choice?I would not choose them..too surnamey-modern-trendy-brend in my mind.

Hey! I appreciate all the feedback! :)I like that I haven't heard these names a 100 times and I like that they have meaning for our family. I feel like they are unique, but strong... We have a very common last name, so I wanted something that was "strong"/"unique" and had meaning for us. I don't like names that are misspelled to be "unique" or whimsical and not practical... but I also don't like plain names.McCoy Thomas
McCoy is a family name... we just loved it. We have a Great uncle who everyone called Uncle Mac... and his name was McCoy and my husbands family always remembers going to "Uncle Mack and Aunt Lila's" house! LOL My liitle boy is called Coy or Micky or McCoy at daycare.
Thomas is a great grandpa's name. And it means Twin... which McCoy really is my husbands twin! Same ornery grin and everything! LOL Davis Stratton (boy)Davis is the town where my family is from. Many still live there. I like the meaning too.

Stratton is the name of my husbands best friend who he lost in a wreck. The name is just special to him. I agree the S sound is not the best flow... might have to rethink this option in some way. Peyton Riley (girl)
My husband just loves the name Peyton... to be honest there isn't a real special meaning behind it for us... my husband just likes it. I think it flows nicely together with Riley. I hate that it is so common.Riley is the name of a little girl that I met many years ago... she was battling cancer, but she was the most beautiful spirit. Such an inspirational little girl who chose to focus on the sunshine instead of the rain. I met her years ago, but she meant a lot to me. So those are the main reasons I like those names out of the others we've seen. I'm really open to a boy name suggestion that is a strong name!
