I'm not a mom yet, but I suppose I will name my first child after one of my favorite snacks or something. If that's not okay with my boyfriend, I'll just him name the baby after a relative or something. The only thing I would be concerned about it the name not having too many letters because it's going to be difficult for my child to learn to spell their name.

All my kids have family names as middle names (after grandpas and my husband). With first names, two of them I just really liked and thought it fit them when they were born. My youngest he has a really meaningful/religious name.

My dad and then 3 year old brother came up with my name. Accidentally they named me the male version of my mom’s name and didn’t realize until it was too late. But it was a random name anyway, nobody in the family had it
