    Help with baby names

    Hi, my wife (Lyn) is due to give birth to our son in November.
    Filipinas ideas of babies names seem to be very different from what I'm used to in my family (traditional Scottish or Irish Christian names)
    My wife's family seem to mix the parent's names or even nicknames!!!
    and come up with some very original concoctions indeed!
    I made the mistake of suggesting Robert, but she said " There's too many Roberts in my family in Philippines drunk too much!" Wow!
    Any suggestions out there?? Thanks, Tommy and Lyn.

    Try to play a word puzzle out of the letters from your names... Example: if your name is ROBERT ANDREW and your wife's name is LINDA. Obviously you have 17 letters to mix and rumble. Try to create one or two names out of these letters like...BERNADET LORAINE. You may drop some letters that you cant' use ( W and D ) or if you're more creative you might as well include ALL of them. What dya think?

    hmmm.. I just been to that problem recently, we kept looking for his right name for 3 weeks but finally found the name from the baby name website.. and we called him Jayden

    Don't worry, you have plenty time to think about it!
    Not an expert, I only try to help.
