> My best friend had her first son's name picked out long before she had her husband picked out (as do most of us girlie-girl types), using her mother's maiden name and her own maiden name, so he became Boyce Warren [LastName]. When her daughter was born first, she used her mother-in-law's maiden name and someone else's, but I forget who, so she became Temple Day [LastName]. So so cool.

Hey! That's my name too! Or, well, it used to be. I had all of my kids' names picked out once, but it turns out that I had to go and pick the *one* guy out there who wants a say in his kid's name. :-P Now, the only thing we've decided on is that somewhere in there we'll have some form of one of my grandmother's names, since she's the only one in my family who's been remotely nice to me. :-}
