You'll catch me dead before I put "Christ" in one of my children's names, however the hell many you have is enough for both of us of I guess.

:::OshnSoul:::

Hey, I think they are beautiful names, they're of nature. What's more beautiful than that?
If it were to sound good with my last name, I would name my next child (if I were to have another one) Ocean or Raine

rickscales

But see - the kids' last names is already "Wood." They are having to undergo enough abuse at school already, but then they're given these names?

My last name is Scales, I know what I'm talking about.

Janey

I woild go with a K, but refrain from the krist concept. How about something like Kendra, Katherine (Kate) or karin. all names that girl would like.

ariekitten

congrats on the new baby! i personally am fond of the name Kirsten, but i know it's not the same as something with "krist"...etc. you could go with Kristine like from the phantom of the opera, though i doubt that's how it was spelled in that story.

lmao @ morning wood....hehe

bad jane

you do realize that your children will hate you right? i came from a family of four with similar names and believe me--we all hate it (and yes, that is present tense). i would have prefered to be named three, at least it would have been different from my siblings. (not that my name sounds all that bad, unless you happen to know my siblings. we are a tongue twister all on our own--please offer your kids my sympathy!)

sorry, but i can't think of anything right now. everything sounds funky with yolanda to me...

hunnychile

How 'bout Ed Wood?

wow, it's probably a good thing my wife and I aren't christians. This pattern seems like the kind of thing people expect of me when I tell them mine and my wife's name.

We're Joseph and Mary.

Hey all, previous posts ask/say this must be a joke...some people do this. I dated a guy about 5 years ago and it was just as weird as this situation...

Here's a list of things about my ex-boyfriend and his family's coincidental "pattern":

• His Grandparents, all 4 of them, shared something uniquely in common: all of their (first & last) initials were "R.R." before and after they married eachother.
  
• Prior to meeting and falling in love, both parents had, each, been married once. Coincidently, each of them were raising 3 daughters and both of their respective marriages ended in divorce.
  
• "R.R." are both his mom's and dad's initials, which remained unchanged after they married, just like their own parents' initials had.
  
• All 6 of his sister's initials are "R.R."; two sister's are married with children - each child's initials are "R.R."
  
• My ex-boyfriend was the only child that his parents have had together, the only child who was neither a "step" child/sibling nor a half-sibling; his initials are "R.R."

Thank you for pointing that out. It'd be nice if parents who think they're being terribly clever with their kids' names would think of the children for a few seconds. It's bad enough when celebs name their kids stupid crap like Moon Unit, but at least their kids will be insulated from a lot of the taunting of other kids just by the fact that their parent is famous.

This Wood guy is setting his kids up for a lifetime of confusion over the first name and embarassment over the third middle name.

eerrr...why would someone name their kids with all similar sounding, odd names? Sorry to say I don't think you're doing your kids any favours. How do they feel about it?

Dureum or Alívio?

(Portuguese for Last One and Relief respectively - sorry, I couldn't resist )

[Edit] Damn, should begin with a K...hold on, I'll be back)

zen_tom

Well, I've looked, but couldn't find anything (the closest I got was Komplette, but it's not particularly feminine)

You could try thinking of things that your new daughter means to you, and then looking up those words in a foreign language - sometimes the results can be quite pleasing.

Shpoop

how about kristania?

Sage

wow, dunno about the names, but congrats on EIGHT KIDS!!! i think it's cool that you wanna still have sex with your wife after all that- i couldn't IMAGINE the stress her body has been through! anyway, raise them well, and they'll turn out fine, despite the names... and they'll know what it is to share and NOT have only child syndrome....

think of the grandkids...

krista ferwalken ?

Kristandra Yolanda Rose Wood arrived at 8:21pm Thursday evening, 03-03-05. The name Kristabel came in second with Kristanna in third.

My wife had a VBAC for the ladies who know what that is (vaginal birth after c-section). Her doctor felt that everything went better than planned.

I look forward to proving all of the nay-sayers wrong with the kid's names. The kids enjoy their names and we have had many positive reactions from other people. There have been a few negative comments over the years. I expected the negative posts here at tfp, but that is the glory of the whole concept.

My wife's mother is the oldest of 19 kids. I say we top that!

We don't live in Arkansas or any backwoods region. We are in SW Florida and yes, we are white.


If any other questions pop in, I will post answers when possible (busy running around with the kiddies).

Later, Woody

i think i read you said you homeschooled your children? You take them out a lot i hope and show them the world and the different stuff right?

this isnt a bag on your parenting but, one of the people who owns where my mom works has a kid every 2 years and him and his wife are planning on doing it until she cant bare children anymore. This would be fine and dandy for them but they keep the kids at home, Homeschooled and only leave the house to go to church.
Ive been over at the work parties and these kids are going to be the most messed up children ive ever seen when they leave the house. (the oldest one is almost 18 and they held him back **HES HOME SCHOOLED**from graduating)
Im just concerned that other people arent doing this to their kids is all.
Good Luck man

woody3rd

nope, no homeschooling. we found a great school in our area and we couldn't be happier. this gives my wife a small break during the day and some extra face time with the little ones. the kiddies always have friends over or visit friend's homes. a couple of the older boys play soccer every weekend, so the kiddies get alot of "outside the home" activities.
