Like Zuma Nesta Rock?
Yes, exactly like that. Many people use place names (Zuma bay i believe?).
Why did she like that place so much she wanted to remember it always and have her child have it as a significant thing in its life without knowing what it is...
Personally, i don't understand the place name baby name fad. I'd never get a tattoo of Rome, but i really like the place..

Its not a case of using info, rather a case of finding out the thought pattern or process in naming a child.
I was interested to see also if anyone had named the child in an unusual way, or had a story as to why they named their child that way.

In the Jewish religion we don't name after living people and the middle name is often after a deceased relative. My daughter's middle name is for my deceased mother in law.
Some names I do like have been so trendy, I just didn't want to go near them: Ava, Olivia, Emma.
I don't like trendy or made up names.
There are threads here about naming stories, OP if you do a little searching...some of them are urban legend type things like babies named Vagina and that sort of thing.
Fantastic. So obviously there is a religious effect, and your personal take is to avoid the trend.
For the record, i adore the name Sarah (If i didn't my wife would kill me as she is lucky enough to have the name!)

I have also posted a very similar thread in the UK, however, in my experience Americans are fantastically helpful.
I that figured the more people i reach, the more likely i am to recieve an interesting response
Thankyou for replying!
My name is Andy, and i am a novelist from London, England.
I have a small favour to ask, and i am hoping some of you may be kind enough to oblige.
I am looking to find out some of the reasons why you named your child what you did, or if you are thinking of naming a child, how you came to such conclusions.
Was there something in your past that influenced you in child naming?
What warmed your heart to certain names?
Were your kids named after someone?
What other influences are there?
Finally, does anyone have, or know of, any stories about the naming of children?
I hope i hear from some of you guys, I figured that there would be no better place to come.
Peace and Love.
