How can I include the female family names when naming our children?

We are not having a problem coming up with names using the male members of our families. For example, we have decided on Jack Dalton (boy) from his grandfather and my grandfather. We have also decided on Camdyn Layne (girl) from my grandfather and his mother picked out Layne.





However, we want to include our grandmothers and/or mothers. We need help! Any suggestions....





My grandmother's: Betty Jean and Margorie Iris


My mother: Pamela Jean





His grandmother's: Betty Jean and Margie LaDeema


His mother: Margie Lachone (spoken as la' shon)

How can I include the female family names when naming our children?
John instead of Jean, or use Eugene
Reply:Margie, Margie, and Margorie are all forms of Margaret. So maybe you could include Margaret, which would still be honoring them. Other names that are variants of Margaret are:





Greta, Etta, Maggie, Meghan, Maret, Gretchen

Iris is really, really pretty, I think that's find the way it is, and would be great to include. It's unique and exotic.





Betty is a short form of Elizabeth, so you can include that, which I like much better than Betty.





I think Jean would make a great middle name.





I can't think of anything for Pamela, maybe make it a middle, or something like Melody, Melanie, Melissa, Melinda, as they all begin with mel and Pamela has Mel in it.





hope this helps :)
Reply:I'm hesitant to believe this question....for one thing, you're a new account....this is the only question you've asked. Also, both you and your husband (boyfriend?) have grandmothers named Betty Jean and Margie/Margorie??? I find a coincidence like that very hard to swallow, especially since Margorie is spelled more like Margie, than the traditional spelling, Marjorie. Anyway, I'm just as bored as you apparently are, so I'm gonna answer anyway.





John (for Jean) [nickname = Jack] Dalton





Camdyn-Jane (for Jean) Layne Margaret
