What's in a Name?

Today on Kelly's Show Us Your Life we are showcasing Kids' Names.

I remember early in our relationship Matt and I talked about the names we liked for our children. We talked about names we really liked and family names. When we got pregnant with Ryan we didn't know what we were having so we picked out a boy name and a girl name to be prepared.

Our boy name:

Ryan Samuel

It was very hard to find a boy name that we both agreed on. We looked and talked about alot of names and Ryan was the one we kept coming back to. I love the name Ryan Deepe and loved how strong and all-american it sounded. Matt's maternal grandfather's name was Samuel and it's also his Dad's name so we knew we wanted Samuel for his middle name.

Our girl name:

Sydney Deborah

Our girl name was much easier and we decided it even before we were pregnant. We were watching TV one night and we heard the name Sydney. I told Matt I really liked the name and he agreed. He really liked it too. He loves Australia and dreams about going one day. We love the name Sydney and like how it's beautiful and unique. Matt's mother sadly passed away when he was 13 years old from breast cancer. Her name was Deborah and we will name our first daughter (if we are blessed to have one) after her.

So there are our baby names. We don't have another boy name we like so if we have another boy we are in trouble. We do have a second girl name but I will save that for later. :-)
