Okay I know I am going to open myself up to all of the negative comments, but I wanted to get some name ideas for our kiddie #8. Here are our kid's names so you can get familiar with what we are looking for;

Kristina Elisa Fyre Wood
Christopher Maxwell Cedar Wood
Christian Robert Red Wood
Christman Douglas Teak Wood
Christephen Chava Beach Wood
(Twin #1) Christamas Deland Oak Wood
(Twin #2) Christavis William Sandal Wood

Baby #8 is a girl and this is what we have so far;

Krist???? Yolanda Rose Wood

We use "K"'s for the girls and "CH"'s for the boys. We know the two middle names and seem to be having trouble with the "Krist" first name. The "Yolanda" name is from my wife's mother who is in poor health and seems to be hanging on just to see the baby girl born. I thought of "Kristrina" (an extra "r" added to Kristina) but my wife didn't like it. She thought of "Kristianna", but I didn't like it. So, at risk of inviting all of the negative comments to the number of kids we have and the second middle names, I am asking for any ideas for kiddie #8.

Thanks, Woody

maleficent

From Babynames.com
KRISTALYN Beautiful bearer of Christ
KRISTA Christ Bearer
KRISTEN Christ-bearer
KRISTIAN Christ Bearer
KRISTIN Consecrated to God
KRISTINA Christ Bearer
KRISTINE Christ-bearer
KRISTY Christ-bearer
KRYSTAL A Clear, Brilliant Glass

The second middle names are a riot... But remember, these are the people who will be responsible for your care when you are unable to care for yourself...

There is also Krysta, Krystalee (or various spellings), or Krystalynn.

Or try breaking it up: Krista Lynn Balsa Wood

don't feel like a jerk. My instincts are telling me this HAS to be a joke- who would do that to their children?


Well, other than certain rock stars naming their kid Moon Unit

Redlemon

I'll take over for Derwood and shakran and take the polite route.

woody3rd, how does this naming method work out for your family? The names sound so similar, I'm sure I'd be calling the wrong kids by the wrong names all the time.

Also, it appears to me that you are deriving all of these names from the name Christ. Is this a religious devotion type of thing? Was it under the recommendation of a spiritual leader, or did you and/or your wife come up with it yourselves?

a-j

What is the deal with two middle names? Is this a regional thing?

absorbentishe

Is eight enough? Is it a gagle, or a flock? Wow, good luck with 8 youngens. To me the names are a mixture of religous/types of trees. I thought I had it bad with 4 kids.

la petite moi

First thing I thought when I saw this thread, except I was afraid to post anything.

canuckguy

i just wanna know how do you call them in the house with the names being so close!

rival

Gopher

Hahah rival. Harsh! But really, I'm interested to see if this really is a joke or not...

MooseODV

Reminds me of my brother-in-law's parents... Their eldest daughter was Candy Appel (now married and name changed) I still think it would've been awesome if they'd stuck with it. Good luck!

wow, I have never had the reassure anyone that I am not joking. Most times it's because I have the kids with me or someone already knows that we have seven kids and one on the way. so, to answer the idea that this is a joke, no, my wife and I do have seven kids. it is not a mixed marriage with some of her's and some of mine. we had the kids together. the picture from the simpson's is too funny!

I knew that posting this situation would deliver some of the responses that have shown up. But, at the same time, I felt that someone would pop out the next "Krist????" name that would fit. thank you to everyone who has listed names.

the "Christ" part came simply from my middle name being christopher. we were going to name our first child Christopher, but Kristina decided to arrive first. then Christopher was next and the "chris" namecycle kept going. we had to be creative after Christian and we came up with Christman, Christephen, Christamas and Christavis. I thought that a second girl would give me a chance to use an easy "Krist????" name, but it is starting to get difficult to find one we both like.

the second middle name was my idea that comes from my pattern of being different and out of the ordinary. the kids love their second middle name and they often make sure to let people know their full names. if we ever need to adopt a child we will use "simulated wood" for their name. (okay, i am just kidding with the simulated wood).

thanks again for your ideas. I will check back to help answer any other questions or comments that come in.

I'm back to answer some other questions;

yes, sometimes we do call the kids by the wrong name. but, I have witnessed other parents call their kids by the wrong name and their kids had totally different names in the first place.

my wife is a stay-at-home-mom. I have a good job with a county government here in florida that has great healthcare costs. my wife's mother was the oldest of nineteen (19) kids. so my wife's mother tought my wife how to feed 19 kids with one chicken. if i need a second job to support the family, i will (and have done so in the past). there is no need to fear that we are living off of the taxpayers.

George Forman named all his kids George. You're pretty close to that already...

Well, we are leaning toward the name; Kristandra Yolonda Rose Wood

It is the first name that passed the "cringe" factor.

maleficent

It's a little Dr Seussish... The first name and the middle name sort of rhyme... But that's ok...

I can't say this without it sounding racist, but are you black?

What's with taking all the names and turning them from their French or other origin to 'ghetto'?

Devon = D' vaughn
Daniel = D'Neal
Bianca = Beyonce


I know I'm not being helpful, but your kids are going to laugh at you someday.
I would have been beat up at school if I'd had a family with those names.

Slavakion

Christephen Chava Beach Wood
Christamas Deland Oak Wood
Christavis William Sandal Wood

How do you pronounce these? Chris-Steven, Chris-ta-mus, Chris-ta-vus?

Ishmal

My youngest (so far, as we have a bun in the oven also ) is Named Crystal, so I have to say I'm partial to that name Kristal. I think it's a bit odd to name your kids after a specific wood, but who am I to judge. When your kids are older I just hope you give them the means to deal with people who might make fun of them. Teach them that you named them to be individuals and how to deal with the masses...but I'm sure you already know that

Congrats on the new baby!!

8 kids, thats amazing! I would go with Krista or Kristen if it were me. I would also put my kids into martial arts and buy them all boxing gloves to practice on each other =P

Back again with some answers....No, we are white, you got the pronunciation for Christamas and Christavis correct, but Christephen is like Christ-evan. Baby #8 is due the first week in March.

yankeefatboy

I'm not gonna make any rude remarks, but it reminds me of a mother of a former high school athlete in the late 80's/early 90's here in Sacramento whose name was/is Nomo Williams. When asked what the name signified, she said that he was number 8 or 9(I can't remember the exact number she said) and there would be no mo'. That's a true story. The kid ran/played at River City High School.

pinoychink790

how about using a name like christoman or something? just a thought
