My husband is Robert Scott, but he goes by Scott. Basically, the Robert is silent. Our kid (were we to have one) would be the fourth generation of this. And one of my husband's favorite naming suggestions, to fit the required schema, is "Robert Sean." So... Robert Shawn sounds okay, but that might send your descendants into an infinite recursive loop. Which would be sort of cool, if incredibly geeky!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11959258915086456812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17599700.post-38123203369876511392008-04-07T11:03:00.000-05:002008-04-07T11:03:00.000-05:00meh, as of right now we aren't planning on having ...meh, as of right now we aren't planning on having kids, but it's getting tougher for me to stick to that mantra since our friends' kids are getting to the 'fun' stage. (I foresee Lon asking us to babysit more frequently now...)<BR/><BR/>Every once in a while I'll bring up to shawn that I can't find any name that sounds good with "shawn" as a middle name, and that if his parents ever bring it up I gotta be like "well, what would YOU name a kid who has to have a middle name of Shawn?"katinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15658859113915782535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17599700.post-81741881420014293072008-04-06T11:58:00.000-05:002008-04-06T11:58:00.000-05:00Good luck with this one.

I mean, it's YOUR kid so name it whatever you feel like. It's hard finding the right name because you have to compare it to the huge database that is your mind. You have to reference it to everyone you have known & if the baby is a girl you have to make sure you don't name it the same name as one of your husband's exes. :)<BR/><BR/>So kids in your horizon? Eh, we had our kid's names picked out after we ran out of things to talk about on a camping trip 2 years before we even had a baby.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07242537388684299881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17599700.post-69147885767770366332008-04-03T09:33:00.000-05:002008-04-03T09:33:00.000-05:00The J.W initials are a nice family tradition, in m...The J.W initials are a nice family tradition, in my family we don't have this things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17599700.post-19764730617294618672008-04-01T22:22:00.000-05:002008-04-01T22:22:00.000-05:00Yeah, you're right, we just end up with names like...Yeah, you're right, we just end up with names like "Norma Jeane"...Also, I think the civil war heroes thing is mostly a southern thing--when was the last time you met someone named Ulysses?katinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15658859113915782535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17599700.post-90959412725719363832008-04-01T19:59:00.000-05:002008-04-01T19:59:00.000-05:00Of course, I am named after a Confederate General ...Of course, I am named after a Confederate General (Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson).
