My ds name is Mylo. I don't know what it means but I got the name from a childrens book called The phantom tollbooth and it sounds good with his older sisters name, Chloe

Dd's name is Myroslava which is an old Slavic name meaning "glory to the world." We picked it basically just because we liked it. We wanted a Slavic name (dh is Ukrainian), but we wanted one that wasn't too common. I had suggested Yaroslava, but dh misheard me and thought I said Myroslava--and then we realized that we both realy liked that name. The only downside is that many Americans screw up the pronunciation (my parents STILL don't pronounce it correctly

). And so we gave her the middle name Rose, which we figure she can use if she gets tired of the "exotic" name.
My DS is Jonathan Isaac. Both are Biblical names... Jonathan was David's best friend in the Bible and he was an honorable and courageous man. Isaac was a son of Abraham, was saved by God, and later became the father of Jacob.
We just wanted a strong, meaningful name, and one that wouldn't be "made fun of" later. I am Carolyn and was born in Maryland. I remember growing up and that always being a joke on the playard. "Carolyn from Maryland." And oh yes, my best friend was Rhia from Korea. Ugh. *sigh* Kids can be mean. So we wanted a name that wouldn't rhyme or be shortened to sound strange.

Our's is Titus Fremont, after the character Titus in the Edward Gorey book: "The Gashleycrumb Tinies" and after dh's late grandpa, James Fremont "Monty".
Titus is also a book of the Bible, and a Shakespear play, so we've got all the bases covered

Athanasia means "immortal" (Greek: 'a'= without, 'thanatos'= death). It is the name of a flower as well, and I have always loved botanical names. The common name of the flower, as well as the diminutive form of the name, is Tansy, and that is what we introduce her as and what her friends and family call her (and was also our nickname for her when she was yet unborn, although we hadn't decided on a name yet). Her dad found it in a baby name book from the 1940s, where it said, "Definitely NOT a good Christian name" and we liked that.

We wanted a name she wouldn't have to share with anyone else.
Her middle name is Celeste. It might not have been our final decision but she came as a bit of a surprise. We wanted to name her before she was transferred to the NICU (another hospital in another city in another state) so that she would have a name to travel with, otherwise we probably would have given it a few more days' thought. But Celeste means "from the heavens" and she certainly is my bright little star, so it fits. I think it is pretty.
Of course she will probably grow up thinking her name is 'Roo' as this is what she is most often called by us.

I'd love to hear some of the other pet names / terms of endearment...
