In reply to Lindsey. Thanks Lindsey. Nori sounds cute, but as an avid sushi lover I just wouldn't feel right about calling my daughter Nori. LOL. And Iris is really a beautiful name. :)

Loved this post! I think names are fascinating. And North West is just redic, but I do think the nickname Nori is kinda cute.
And Iris is one of my top girl names 😉

Too funny. I think North might be cool with ANY other last name!
Having the name Jasmine before Alladin came out, I knew what it was like as a kid for no one (including teachers) to ever spell or pronounce my name correctly. To have people say “your name is What?”. Silly now since it has become so popular. When I chose names for my kids, my own name experience was definitely on my mind!
I liked Chase from the moment I heard it and have never regretted it. Sure there are other Chase’s in his age group, one in his grade at school. At school he is “Chase W” and his best friend is “Chase A”. It bugged me the first year, it doesn’t bug him a bit! They actually relish being “The Chases”.
I had a very long list of possible girl names for my daughter. I loved Elizabeth, Isabella, Mackenzie and Mischa was one of my faves. A co-worker from Russia told us Mischa was for boys! That really made an impression on my husband. He favored Holly…which having a girl in December named Holly just sounded a little too cliche to me. Finally we found Natasha, and we both loved it. I’m now glad we dodged the “Isabella Bullet” since we usually have more than one Isabella in every kindergarten class, gymnastics lesson, soccer team…but hey we’ve never met a “North”!

My first was named after my Grandfather Alexander Michael. That’s what I had want since I was a kid and Jed liked it too. My second is kinda named after my husband. He wanted him to have the same name and I thought Jed was too plain so we settled to same initials so I started searching J names on the internet and found a polish name we loved. Jedrek. We get lots of is that your name too ect but no it just fell in our laps that way. I’m polish so it was perfect! Jedrek Mitchell. My third boy I was out of ideas so we searched the web once again and found names we liked a narrowed it down to Corbin and Slade. It was in the hight of the Bin Laudin (how ever you spell it) search and I didn’t want his nick name to be bin so I changed the spelling to Corben. So he is Corben Slade. My 4th FINALLY A GIRL!!!! For the longest time was going to be Saryah Tyer (tear) but at the time we started trying for her I had came a cross a book with the name Saren in it and I was on LOVE! and her middle name is Althea after my grandmother. So her initials are SAM. Jed wanted a little girl he could call Sam and I hate the name Samantha so we went the initial route. There you have it. 🙂
