BTW... after three boys, me and wife have gave up. I wanted one "Gertrude".... alas.. also never to be in the top 20 again for the girls. (Wife hates that name... but I don't, but our grandmothers were named a that).

My wife also wanted to use dead relatives, but as a source for our daughter's middle name. I put my foot down hard on that one. We finally settled on Annette in honor of Annette Island in southeastern Alaska, which is where she was conceived.

I like Annette. I did use a deceased friend's name for my first daughters middle name, Mia Rose. I used for my second daughter my deceased dad's name and his Grandmother's name. Giovanna Grace.

Ha ha, that's a fun game. Sit down with your spouse and figure out what your kid's names would have been if you named them after the place of conception!

Lucky for her she wasn't conceived in the back of an Econoline van!

My middle name is "Back of a Chevy"...
