My Kids' Names

Elena did a cool blog on how she picked out her kids names. I thought I would play along : )

First off, I don't spell my kids names the traditional way : )

Jourdan Dean - Dean is from Jourdan's grandfather. Jourdan is really not after anyone in paticular. I had a hard time picking out a boys name. One day, a cute little red head boy came into my work. He had to be about 1 years old. He was adorable. Anyhow, his name was Jourdan. That is how I got Jourdan Dean.

Meghan Gwendoline - Gwendoline is after my Mom. I have always loved the name Gwendoline, but didn't know how well it would work for a first name. I went back and forth the entire pregnancy with several names. Meghan (Meg for short), Hannah, Isabella and Jessica. When I had Meg I narrowed it down to two names. Meghan and Jessica. I pretty much just closed my eyes and picked because I loved both names.

Zackary Trusty - My entire pregnancy we decided we where going to name this little guy Dillon. I liked the name Dillon, but I didn't love it. I was just compromising with the hubby. Well, I started talking about the name Zackary with my hubby. He liked the name, but loved the name Dillon. After about 2 months of talking about the name Zackary, Dennis decided Zackary would be a cute little boy's name. Now we have our little Zack and we love the name! Trusty is my Mom's maiden name. I really wanted Zack's middle name to be after my Grandfather who past away when I was quite young. The problem was my grandfathers name was Archibald. I didn't really like the name Archibald, so I went with my Mom's Maiden name Trusty. I love, love the name Trusty! My Mom said her parents would be so happy to know that Zack's name middle name is Tursty (They passed away when I was young).
